Sorry landfill decomposition wasn’t my point but I didn’t clarify. My point was that paper can decompose more easily if/when it’s improperly disposed of/littered. It’s not ideal, but at least it will be gone in shorter time than p

Waste to energy programs, where exhaust is contained and not released into the atmosphere, is a viable means of disposal for many materials. Particularly viable for those which are oil based, like plastic, which are highly pollutive if not

People in the commodities business are used to this, it’s not as big a problem as you’d think. The bigger factor that makes recycling harder to justify is that it’s very easy and cheap to make new stuff.

There is a powerful (sub?)culture in the business world based upon proclaiming your company is sustainable. LEED is actually part of the problem in a way. The metrics are based on unimportant factors like “diversion” (meaning it was dumped

As many comments here point out - you are seen as a heretic for going against the 'recycling gods' in many parts of the world. That is certainly true in parts of American industry as well. U.S. kids have been conditioned since the

If my company is going to pay your legal fees, then they work for me, not you [sic] and I will reserve the right to fire them This the most logical comment on this thread. I can't believe people accept paying a VC's legal bills

Halo CE saved the Xbox and Halo 2 online pretty much solidified modern online FPS gaming. COD BLOPs and others are all built around the innovative party system, voice chat (I miss proximity voice...), etc. The open world tease bungie did pr

For a fun side project probably not, no. Anything past that (even a small scale beta) and yes $15 is quite expensive for what you are getting.

I've found that if I ever do a Facetime call on my 2015 ESC Macbook pro, my Airpods use the same terrible quality audio channel. Very frustrating to say the least!

I agree here - if you tie to revenu and get too expensive (to me, over $500-100 a month), I’d find the dev time to replace this before we “overpaid”.

Should we teach our children about the history of mass murderers and millennia of crimes against humanity? What about the massive problems their generation will face, in geopolitical, environmental, and other problems? Your logic, in a vacu

This would be the worst answer. Technology like that will certainly be abused.

For my wedding I tried to not have any technology on me for photos. I always feared having a great photo like that one - but then it can look "dated" with an iPhone 6 in it. Without that iPhone, that photo could be from anytime 19

Can you send me a copy of what you are trying to extract? We use proprietary stuff (we're in the business of extracting data and performing analysis on invoices for waste, recycling, cellular, etc... stuff that gets "lost" in

I think your comment typifies the tribalism and faction-based shaming that OP was alluding to. Telling Republicans “there is no legitimate reason to vote Republican anymore” is not a logical argument that will win people over.

i second this! It is pretty intuitive, has nice gesture implementation. I’m sure there are email apps with a little more design beauty, but outlook reigns.

I mean that 'single stream recycling' has pushed 'diversion from landfill' and 'recycling' rates so high that it has changed the composition of what our recycling actually consists of. Take a fictional recyclin

I get your point but the “recyclables” we produce as Americans are not really recyclables. They are 90% recycling, 10% trash, or worse.

This tech is already applied to MRFs and it still doesn’t work 100% if the time, causing downtime on the line, and lost revenues.

Great point. Out of curiosity, what happened in the accident that the driver was comfortable inviting you into his car? In many environments/scenarios that would seem risky, particularly after a traumatic event like a car accident.

I understand your point but the software didn’t exclusively cause the death. The software was known to be unreliable. In that way it did contribute to the person’s death. But so did the driver tasked with correcting the vehicle (who was wat
