While I agree with the point you are making, it must be noted that garbage is not "dumped", like someone is throwing stuff across a wall. I am sure Poland is paid lots of money to take the garbage.

For those who don’t know, there was a reforestation done in US west coast in recent history [1]. Also from the details I have read at least a good portion of it was done by a grassroots effort. If you drive through the highway that goes thr

Is it possible the social support structure, education, etc are creating a society where unfortunate people don't have to steal/pawn to make a living?

Exactly this! I hope our data is worth more

I see what you did there. The entire reason insurance company buys the data is to raise rates by zip code or whatever they do. Now if the insurance is anyways f-ing me over, I might as well have the state/gov earn some money from it. A

While I agree in theory, you are grossly underestimating the amount racism and other forms of phobia that still exists among humans. When “apprenticeship” was the only way to learn, there was no opportunity for the unfortunate ones. School,

Ha! I just lost a hundred dollars just last week this way. Funny story - my aunt has a habit of mailing family holiday cards with $$cash$$. I am subscribed to “informed delivery digest” from US Postal service. I even saw the image of the le

May be silly to ask, but can we assume the numbers are from second run for each variant.

Thanks for the correction. Clearly, my recollection was wrong.

I remember the Palm acquisition. At that time Palm had invested heavily in webOS [1] which wasn't as performant. When they acquired BeOS, I thought it was going to be a turn around. But that didn't happen either. 1. https:/&

At least in California, PG&E charges a disproportionate amount as "delivery cost" even if the energy comes from a cheaper and greener alternative coop. For me more than half my total cost is PG&E fees and I am subscribed t

Thanks for this link. I didn't know. After putting in my address, I was afraid to click "See providers". Thankfully, Google just redirects you to a local search instead of feeding my address to some list of shady partners. T

Thank you for starting this thread. Although I personally don't sacrifice nearly as much as the other commenters, all of you are inspiring the rest of us to do better!

At least in our case problem can be solved by re-encryption. Yes, we have to keep up to date with developments before everything is completely broken, but it is not bad as discovering a bridge needs to be rebuilt. Speaking of which, it is c

No, GP was taking about a clear race condition on growing the slice in the first example. It is not just a case of "idiomatic go" vs "idiomatic" or something, as the author suggested, a problem only when the code grows.

Sometime, "good candidates" shop around for more offers. It is not always clear any greater effort would actually yield better candidates. Where I work, the entire interview process is just a filter to remove the absolute worst. T

Those factors can change. Currently charging at night at home is cheaper today, only because power company makes it so. Ideally cars should charge when the sun is up, in day time. If they were self driving, it could charge while we work. Do

No, the moment you are diagnosed with a chronic or life threatening disease, your premiums no longer cover the medical cost. Otherwise what is the point of insurance. Moreover, many regulations prevent them from raising future premiums. So

I don’t think Google needs to steal a language name. They fuck it up and create a non-searchable name just as well on their own.
