Children today are expected to go to school and get a well rounded education. They don’t start specializing as apprentice to some master at an early age

Anybody had the ability to write the next great novel for a while, but few succeed.

That there is no way to recycle electronics economically is the reason that they are not recycled. I don't claim otherwise.

I would say reusing a "disposable" vape would be refilling it and recharging or exchanging the battery, not salvaging it for parts.

I once bought 100% hemp pants because I heard that material is tougher than cotton, but my bicycle seat killed the pants in just a few weeks. Modern jeans last a few months to a year. I have yet to find pants that endure a bicycle commute.

Not burning all the ICs and all the other components that still work perfectly fine would be a good start imo.

Many animals are clearly intelligent, but I can't talk to them at all.

by adrianN 9mo ago
Intelligence is not magic though. The difference between intelligence and mathematics can plausibly be the same kind of difference between chemistry and intelligence.

I’m relatively sure that electronics are not recycled properly anywhere. At best some of the metals are extracted (hopefully not by mixing the ashes with mercury).

How do you de-risk from the USA as an individual investor?

by adrianN 9mo ago
Maybe they could use big trucks that just collect all refuse from the curb. And maybe that is something that the city should do so that we don’t have a dozen trucks collecting a dozen different trash cans from every house.

To make matters worse, recycling is a scam (with a small handful of exceptions).

Sounds reasonable to me.

Find Job openings that would plausibly hire you (no experience/degree required) and sound interesting and then train the required skills by building toy projects for a portfolio that you can attach to your CV.

IMO this is older than Covid and goes back at least to „nine out of ten doctors recommend camel cigarettes“

More pernicious than loss of knowledge imo is loss of trust into the scientific process. „Research“ on social media is seen as superior to expert consensus by a frightening number of people.

I actually only use a laptop that maybe draws 50W peak. The FritzBox uses maybe 10W peak and I turn it off when I sleep. Warm water is probably the main difference between my household and the average German, since I get it via district hea

I have two refrigerators that use about 200W when the compressor is running. It is not running all the time though.

This reads like an ad, but the following passage stood out > the average US home consumes about 889kWh per month, or about 29.2kWh per day I assume most of that is HVAC? I use about 1500kWh a year , but I don’t need aircon and heating i

Survivable is a strong word. We can survive for a long time huddled around breeder reactors. IMO the better question is how many of the affected people would try to migrate to better areas and how much firepower they bring with them when th

More and faster warming is always worse than less and slower warming, so every reduction in CO2 helps.

We already have all the tools needed to stop climate change. The current problem is that nobody wants to pay for it.

by adrianN 9mo ago
In that instance climate change (probably?) played a role, but that is unfortunately not obvious enough to reach the people who are not already concerned about climate change. Millions migrating from India somewhere else because there is no

It won’t be long before climate change starts causing mass migrations and the associated conflicts. With the current unstable world order we could really do without another massive problem.

The IT department must hate you. I’m not in IT but I think it’s hard to be compliant with some kinds of regulations if you allow end users to run VMs.

Is pushing to a moved-from vector even legal? I thought in general the only guarantee you have after a move is that is save to destruct the object.

My function can choose to move or not to move from an object based on io input.

Maybe Bose doesn’t have all the rights necessary to open source their code, eg because they rely on libraries.

Knowing obscure things you need to do for accessibility is actually something I would expect an llm to be pretty good at.

I think you might be romanticizing multi-generational households a bit. We introduced social security systems precisely because the family systems failed so frequently. In all but the richest families no retirement as we understand it toda
