Recycling does help with certain types of plastic

I read numbers from Norway where it says that 1/3 of the plastic that is processed is recycled.

There are also incentives from the government that helps. They add a deposit to every soda bottle sold, that is given back immediately when the bottle is returned for recycling. This incentivises many to return it, because they would otherwise basically throw money in the trash. 92% of all bottles are returned for recycling. Everyone brings their empty bottles and cans to a grocery store, and use the money as partial payment for groceries or participate in a lottery where the profit is given to charity. All stores that sell soda products are required to also process the return, so they are using reverse vending machines to handle this automatically to save time (since the 70s)

Maybe some of the plastic will not be recycled but it will at least be destroyed and not just thrown in the ocean

You can analyze a lie only if you know that the speaker is trying to convince you into performing an action. Binary statements about facts cannot be judged without knowing the truth. They could be used only for self-analysis of the analyzer and maybe if you want to exercise some tail chasing.

Watch The Princess Bride and you will find a wonderful scene about choosing the right cup there.

> Nah not for nothing, they paid you. If they want to pay you for dumb shit, that's on them.

This attitude right here is why so many developers burn out. Having money thrown your way is not proof you're doing the right thing, and thinking like that can really hurt you on the long term. We crave meaning and community and selling those out can have severe psychological consequences.

I guess "mostly" refers to the "drop-in upgrade", not to the 2-3x faster. The pinout has been modified slightly, so it's not 100% compatible.

Recycling is busy work for activists who allow themselves to be behavioural hacked, so they do not actually change things.
That's the thing, plastic is not an "indulgence", is part of everyday life now, more than any other material.
Shallots very often have two bulbs fused together which makes them very much non-radial.

I agree with your sentiment, but I also feel like this is hyperbolic.

I spend a lot of time on trails and in parks in the US. Perhaps it is different elsewhere, but we typically do not see much trash in those areas, in most cases the trash we do see being a shopping bag or candy wrapper that has blown in from elsewhere or accidentally dropped. Yes, we see some intentional, careless stuff which is upsetting (and we clean it up if we can) but I will never act liike everyone is just throwing their trash wherever. Most people throw their trash away in appropriate spots, leaving a tiny percentage that is being malicious about it. I'd say that's pretty good.

One thing we do have a problem with is overflowing trash bins. This is two-fold. The bins in parks and trails do get changed on a regular schedule, but it seems that these days it is not often enough. The second problem is packaging. So many foods and products come in ridiculous amounts of packaging that the bins get full quickly because said packaging is bulky and difficult to break down.

For the most part, I think people here are doing a good job of trying to keep the trash where it belongs, giving what I consider a reasonable effort. But we're up against companies like the ones listed in the article and their practices that are producing tons of unnecessary plastics. Knowing that, I will never put the onus entirely on the consumer. Until these companies take some responsibility (and stop pushing the idea that this is somehow our fault) in an effective way, not just lip service and hand waving as they have done, the problem will continue regardless of how hard the consumer upholds their end of the bargain.

I was referring to the fact that each bulb tends to expand outward in layers from a core. You are, however, correct.
Shouldn't an unrepresentable bad state not even have been proposed as a write tho? I mean the way I understand it, if something is trying to write a bad state somewhere, it is being represented somehow isn't it?
Wish I could but many people gave up and started using Electron due to employability. And we're stuck with crappy laggy UIs. I remember the MirandaIM multi-messenger from 20+ years ago very fondly... 50MB RAM usage and I was signed to 4 services, on a computer that my smartphone today can emulate 16 of, simultaneously, and it was still running faster than you can blink. Ehhhh, good times.

Electron/JS is a herd just running in one direction, personified.

The fact that something is popular does not imply quality, not at all. Most of the time it implies that everybody settled on it and does not want to hear otherwise for various reasons (in this case: money, as employers are never going to give you the requisite time to build stuff with Qt or others).

Those slides show that the solution won't work on actual onions. Call the innermost layer of the onion its "biological center", and call the center of the spheroid approximately occupied by the onion its "geometrical center".

As is beautifully illustrated on slide 50, the biological center is generally not particularly close to the geometrical center, and this introduces huge distortions in slices that cut close to the biological center.* A single layer of the onion can run parallel to the knife cut for quite some distance.

* The slides also observe that in reality, before chopping an onion, you cut off the top and bottom. This same phenomenon explains why you have to do that; a vertical cut through the top or bottom end of the onion would just give you one huge piece. (You also need to get rid of the roots on the bottom and the sprouts on the top, but even if you didn't, you'd have to cut off the top and the bottom because they curve the wrong way.)
Does anyone know if it's a good idea to base a product on Pi CM4/5 (or has experience with this)? I wonder how the availability any price in large quantities is (like 10k per year) and how reliable the connector is in comparison to a soldered SOM.
It's time and effort. If you're not willing to pay you're saying it has no value. I prefer a small upfront fee to seeing in app purchases though
Isn't using VMs or servers just cloud shit in a different form? How does that fix anything? Orchestrating software (or hardware) is a pain in the ass whether it's in your closet or someone else's.

Tbh a lot of art people want money for is garbage, and most money goes to a few corporations anyways.

It would be nice to see that system rearranged. Even if there’s more art, money could instead fund artistic ventures people actually want rather than keeping powerful entities afloat/entrenched.

Maybe the number of major corporations decreases (towards a permanent handful) as the number of paid artists increases (towards basically everyone who could desire payment for art that’s actually in demand).
Interesting, I'm tempted to apply this towards routing minecart rails in Minecraft.
Speaking of Kubernetes performance: I had a need for fast scale-out for a bulk testing exercise. The gist of it was that I had to run Selenium tests with six different browsers against something like 13,000 sites in a hurry for a state government. I tried Kubernetes, because there's a distributed Selenium runner for it that can spin up different browsers in individual pods, even running Windows and Linux at the same time! Very cool.

Except...

Performance was woeful. It took forever to spin up the pods, but even once things had warmed up everything just ran in slow motion. Data was slow to collect (single-digit kilobits!), and I even saw a few timeout failures within the cluster.

I gave up and simply provisioned a 120 vCPU / 600 GB memory cloud server with spot pricing for $2/hour and ran everything locally with scripts. I ended up scanning a decent chunk of my country's internet in 15 minutes. I was genuinely worried that I'd get put on some sort of "list" for "attacking" government sites. I even randomized the read order to avoid hammering any one site too hard.

Kubernetes sounds "fun to tinker with", but it's actually a productivity vampire that sucks up engineer time.

It's the Factorio of cloud hosting.
Since the first time I saw a exhibition on Shu and Shang artifacts, I have been convinced they were related to the Mayas.

And I dont really get why transatlantic contacts would have been absolutely impossible.

I did a lot of research but it's really a fringe theory. I found stuff with regards to dna repartition, etc. But nothing important.

And it's not a common meme around conspiracy theorists.

So I am mostly alone there :D

Does anyone see the point too?

Or am I really alone to see something of a relation between Shu and Maya outside of the dominant paradigm :)
Sure, it's not just thank you cards though. I once had a job in which my boss assigned me the weekly task of manually emailing an automatically generated report to his boss, and insisted that each email have unique body text amounting to "here's that report you asked for" but stretched into three or four sentences, custom written each week and never repeating. The guy apparently hated to receive automated emails and would supposedly be offended if I copy-pasted the same email every time.

Absolutely senseless work, perfect job for an LLM.
You need actual evidence to make claims like this and be believed. "Possibly not Russian/American" is self-evident due to how easy misdirection is, but "probably not Russian/American" is a matter of probability for which you've presented no meaningful data or argument.

Maybe they had 47 different Kubernetes consultants coming in sequentially and each one found something to do different from the last one, but none of them got any time to update their predecessor's stuff.
Are they implemented on bare metal, or is modern synthesiser just a regular computer with a keyboard attached?
I've been running apps on Kubernetes clusters for the past 6 years and the only thing that really comes to mind that was a breaking change was when the ingress class resource type was introduced. Everything else has been incremental. Maybe I'm forgetting something.

What's wrong with recommending a managed cluster? I wouldn't use one but it is certainly an option for teams that don't want to spin up a cluster from scratch, although it comes with its own set of tradeoffs.

My project at the moment is definitely easier thanks to Kubernetes as pods are spun up dynamically and I've migrated to a different cloud provider and since migrated to a mix of dedicated servers and autoscaled VMs, all of which was easy due to the common deployment target rather than building on top of a cloud provider specific service.
> Containers are an implementation detail.

They really aren't.

Personally I have a big Nix derivation to deploy my (heterogeneous) cluster to bare metal.

None of the k8s concepts or ideas apply here.
He’d probably be on X "creating content"
The inconvenience of throwing it in a recycling bin vs. just throwing it out of the window is also higher, so the next logical step is, I assume, to simply throw it out of the window?
This for me is THE reason for using container management. Without containers, you end up with hundreds of VMs. Then, when the time comes that you have to upgrade to a new OS, you have to go through the dance, for every service:

- set up new VMs

- deploy software on new VMs

- have the team responsible give their ok

It takes forever, and in my experience, often never completes because some snowflake exists somewhere, or something needs a lib that doesn't exist on the new OS. VMs decouple the OS from the hardware, but you should still decouple the service from the OS. So that means containers. But then managing hundreds of containers still sucks.

With container management, I just

- add x new nodes to cluster

- drain x old nodes and delete them
I want to express my admiration that you’ve engaged with me on this tricky and controversial topic.

I actually wish I had acknowledged several very astute points that I strongly agree with.

What else is out there? I'm running docker swarm and it's extremely hard to make it work with ipv6. I'm running my software on a 1GB RAM cloud instance and I pay 4EUR/month, and k8s requires at least 1GB of RAM.

As of now, it seems like my only alternative is to run k8s on a 2GB of RAM system, so I'm considering moving to Hetzner just to run k3s or k0s.
Well, a summary. It's impossible to evaluate the quality of the summary without actually reading the document you're trying to avoid reading.
In all honesty, and considering that everything you build with a SBC is not that powerful and a cabling mess, I would recommend to go for a refurbished ThinkCenter Tiny or similar + an external HDD Rack.
Atleast thats the route I went, and I am vastly less annoyed about it.
same thing worked for me. on iphone, ios 18 introduced a way to apply shades to everything, including app icon and notification counters. since i made the entire thing darker, i've stopped using instagram. i couldn't believe that such a small thing could do wonders. probably the same thing can be achieved by disabling the notification counter, but i think it's better to have it when you want to look for it, but make it not pop out into your eyes.
How would you suggest to compensate devs for developing and maintaining such apps?

Personally I would much prefer that developers lock poweruser features behind a paywall rather than plaster ugly ads all over the place. Making it a paid app works too, but likely 95% of the potential userbase would not try the app if they had to reach for their wallets first.
Well it does go 0-60 in ~3 seconds. the fully enclosed bed is kind of interesting. It handles like a nimble car, not a truck. It drives itself.

..and it looks weird. It doesn't have a dashboard in front of you, or even drive select or turn signal stalks.

I suspect a lot of EV stuff is adjacent to "the ikea effect".

When you struggle with something you get more attached.

With the cybertruck, you have to learn all the ev stuff like range and charging.

And the cybertruck specific stuff, like opening the door, and helping your passenger open theirs. Ignoring the rearview mirror and using the cameras. And figuring out the gear selection. And learning all the many settings, like steering or suspension. And get it to drive itself.

I think once people have conquered that, they minimize the ridiculous stuff and over emphasize the rest.
Ideally these posts should have some sort of "promoted" tag next to them.
It makes no sense to subsidize only the players who have low market share. Tesla is the only carmaker that still makes cars in California, why subsidize foreign cars at the expense of California workers… using their own tax dollars?

The only justification for such harmful economic policy is political retaliation against Musk. But it is not the role of the government to use taxpayer funds for political retribution against opponents.
It is totally fair to charge for work you've done - but then again, in my opinion, not everything needs to be built with some profit in mind (not talking about this app in particular now).

I think it's really refreshing to find an app that doesn't lock any features behind a paywall or makes using it more cumbersome unless you pay. I'm mostly okay with one-time payments though.

Just because you invested some time into making a project doesn't mean that you absolutely need to make some money to make it "worth" it. Hell, most open-source software is built on free/voluntary labor.
Aluminum is actually recycled, and should replace PET for all drinks packaging

To the best of my knowledge, no one has made a resealable aluminium can. Until that is solved aluminium is inferior to PET for many use cases. In fact this is the primary reason I hardly ever buy soda in cans.
> For most small setups, the cost of running an empty kubernetes cluster (managed) is typically higher than setting up a db, a couple of vms and a loadbalancer, which goes a long way for running a simple service.

Not really, the cost of an empty EKS cluster is the management fee of $0.1/hour, or roughly the price of a small EC2 instance.
Folding the second you get dos'd is aa feature, not a liability. Staying up through those is a great way to lose a ton of money basically instantly.
I don't think that's necessarily a problem. When starting a new product time to market as well as identifying the user needs feature wise is way more important than being able to scale "Infinitely".

It makes sense to use whatever $tech helps you get an MVP out asap and iterate on it. once you're sure you found gold, then it makes sense to optimize for scale. The only thing I guess one has to worry about when developing something like that, is to make sure good scalability is possible with some tinkering and efforts and not totally impossible.

>The layout CAD is often done by a different team that follows the schematic provided by design engineering.

Just as a note, this is a fairly archaic way of working nowadays. At my place schematic design and layout go hand-in-hand, and we rejected a candidate because he didn't do the latter. The main reason is layout is no longer an afterthought, it's a key part of the electrical design of the system, and there's little room for a tedious back and forth between the circuit designer and the person doing the layout about what traces are and aren't important to optimize for various attributes.
Plastic and glass bottle and can recycling is pretty common in most of Europe. You pay a deposit when you buy a can or bottle. And you get it back when you return it. If you leave your empty bottle on the street, some homeless person will return it for you. This is actually a pretty common form of charity in Berlin and it's not considered littering to leave your empty bottle for someone to collect it.

It's not a perfect system but most bottles and cans are collected this way and recycled. That would cover most of the bottles produced by the five companies mentioned in the article. You also don't get a plastic bag for free anymore but you can buy one. In most places it's going to be a paper bag. Simple solutions that work pretty well. And once people adjust, it isn't the end of the world.

The real issue is of course people dumping their trash all over the place instead of putting it in a trash can from where most of it would end up in a landfill, incinerator, or even being recycled. Some places have steep fines for littering, which works. IMHO not a bad thing. If you are too lazy to use a trashcan and get caught, there should be a penalty for being a jerk.
I described the state of affairs that would follow a hypothetical taxation of plastic, not that plastic today is an indulgence. Today plastic is a necessity to buy a drink or even clean water in many places. That’s the problem.
Part of the issue is that rubbish in our bin (in the West) sometime ends up shipped across the world, in theory for 'recycling', but instead ends up dumped in another river...

Of course sometime I see littering in streets and parks, sometime literal feet away from bins and yeah, that's infuriating.
I got a small thinkcenter a while back that I currently run some docker stuff on (homeassistant, pihole, some custom stuff), and I am pretty happy with it. Do they have a spare pcie or something to attach all the drives to, though? I don't remember seeing anything like that when I was inside mine, though that was a while back, so my memory may be wrong
> Altria, a tobacco company, disagrees with the findings. In an email, a spokesperson said that the study data includes 80 countries, but its cigarette company Philip Morris USA, which owns brands such as Marlboro and Parliament, only operates in the United States, making it impossible for it to be responsible for 2 percent of the world’s branded plastic pollution.

Not sure about the other companies, but Coca-Cola could also try to weasel out of their responsibility this way: it's not widely known, but they operate on a franchise system, the actual regional bottlers operating independently from the Coca-Cola Company (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coca-Cola_Company#Bottlers).

We have 1 cluster per region (3 regions: Asia, US, EU), multiplied by redundancy clusters = 6 clusters.

Then we have test environments, around 20 of them: 20 clusters.

Then there are 10s of clusters installed on customers' infra.

So 47 clusters isn't really a huge/strange number.
The biggest problem is that a lot of times "approval" requires domain knowledge / specific training so handing it off to some random dude will result in lots of errors, no better than just having some AI model decide.
