It can also be relatively carbon-neutral, if you pull most of the plastic out of the waste stream first. The rest is going to be mostly wood, paper and cardboard.

How expensive/complicated would it be to process the mined coal to remove the uranium. That element is significantly heavier than carbon so chemically and/or physically it should be possible. Of course, better to just stop burning

I dislike voice commands. I have tried using speech-to-text for text messages and emails, and I usually spend more time correcting the mistakes than it saves.

In the kitchen, I use a real mechanical timer. Twist, set, done.

I rarely use google outside of work. At home, I have a few regular sites I keep up with, I know the URLs and I just type them in.

I don't think it's made up but I think there's a good chance we're wrong about the cause. The theory is not falsifiable. There are too many interacting variables. The models have all been fit to the data and not vice ver

It's not paranoia if you're right.

I hate talking to computers, so I don't see a voice assistant in my future ever. I'm in my early 50s by the way, and have been coding since I was in high school. Maps/navigation is the only reason I even have a smartphone.

"it was a little cumbersome to set up" Hence it will never be popular. Sorry, that's just how it works. If you want non-technical people on the platform (i.e. the general public) it needs to just work right away.

Amtrak is hands-down the worst passenger rail service I've ever used, out of services in four different countries. I will say I've never used Amtrak in the Northeast which I understand is somewhat better than the rest of the count

Probably want phone as fallback auth for the inevitable people who lose their TOTP device and didn't save any emergency codes.

Okay, but technically you're storing the energy in the environment, not in the cold reservoir. Maybe a distinction not worth making.

That's easy enough to solve, simply ban advertising on vehicles. We ban billboards or regulate signage in many communities, so there's certainly precident.

You have gone from a hypothetical to concluding that people in the US die because they can't afford cancer drugs. If your dad was over 65, he would be on Medicare. If he was younger than 65 and impoverished (income between 0 - ~150% of

It depends entirely on the employer. Some places will require a doctors note if you miss more than two shifts. So in places like that, people typically go to work sick, and just spread the disease. This includes most fast food restaurants s

One not-a-facebook-user data point here, but yeah I would interpret "my data" to mean everything. Absolutely everything.

How can energy be stored as cold? Cold is by definition the absence of energy.

Bernie Sanders, for one, has advocated for the elimination of private health insurance by essentially putting everyone on Medicare.

Proper insurance pays you for insured losses you incur. When my car is damaged in an accident, I take it wherever I want to have it repaired. I don't have to think about whether the shop is "in network" or not. My insuran

Employers offering health insurance as compensation is a legacy of wage controls from WWII. Employers were prohibited from paying market-level wages so they offered health insurance. It is entirely a result of non-free-market government con

Yes, many people who advocate for "single payer" intend that to mean eliminating any private-pay option.

Well I don't have any legislation on the docket anywhere, but I would fully support the complete separation of health insurance from employment compensation. It's just another layer of obfuscation between the consumer and provid

I'm not an advocate of government paid health care, but hospitals and medical providers should see that this train is coming and if they don't become more transparent it's going to be forced upon them. I don't have a pro

I think that validates sharkweek's theory, above. We have all said things, made crude and even cruel jokes, that we'd be embarrassed about if they became public. But I think we are starting to understand that it's pretty comm

Why is this being downvoted? It's the same thought I had. Parole is early release. You are not on parole if you serve your full sentence. I don't know how good behavior credits factor into this. Typically a prisoner can get a sign

"Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller" never knew what that was called. Guessing that would just be a Raspberry Pi these days.
