Wait until you see how much plastic is used one time and then thrown out as packaging for parts in manufacturing plants.

When you clip the board, the conductive layers are also being smooshed together and touch despite the non-conductive layers, which seems to persist during the enlargement of the cut. I imagine the goal of the flat filing is to remove more m

MDMA overdoses are almost certainly all cross-contamination with fentanyl.

Food waste in landfills is actually a huge issue because it doesn’t decompose normally. It typically gets buried and undergoes anaerobic decomposition, producing methane, which is much worse in the short term as a greenhouse gas than CO2.

Recycleability isn’t really an issue because there isnt really a consumer pipeline for recycling metals of nonstandard shapes like cans. You certainly can’t just throw it in the recycling bin, and anything else is more friction.

This falls in line with a plug in hybrid being an excellent alternative to evs for most people. 30-50 miles of driving around town for work an errands, with an ICE for the occasional longer trip. Almost all driving will be electric without

No way there should be incentives for living outside dense areas. Utility, road, and service maintenance costs increase per capita as density goes down, and currently that cost is not borne by people in those areas.

It’s cheaper because not enough city housing is built and there are other costs associated with suburban living. IMO, property taxes should increase as density decreases because those less dense areas will cost a lot more to maintain roads,

I didn’t find that in the article, but that’s besides the point: wages across eu are lower for tech work and I don’t think it’s access to capital. It’s not like startups are the only high payers.

Wake up from what? I couldn’t find the thesis in the first few paragraphs… I keep seeing more and more from business types in the EU salivating over US business conditions: weaker labor laws, weaker regulations, record profits, etc. From th

Blame the carriers for not implementing rcs and getting stuck in horrible mms. Then blame Apple if they don’t implement it.

The current style on https://www.openstreetmap.org/ basically looks the same as I remember it in ~2010, and is quite ugly compared to Apple Maps and even new google maps.

Based on that article, European management seems to be pushing against US unionization too (installing anti union local ceo, etc)

Based on how much people complain about surge pricing on the Bay Area 101 toll lanes it counts for something.

This implies the DoJ doesn’t interact with other departments at all, and I don’t think that’s the case.

It seems to me the US would be better off copy-pasting EU regulation than trying to smush apples behavior into old school antitrust violations.

Hand-dug berms are certainly technology, but perhaps not “high technology”. And desertification is a natural process, see the Middle East or the Sahara itself, but perhaps accelerated by human impact.

I think for the general public this is a reasonable comparison, since the performance is good enough for most things on a 2 year old eng pc for less than half the msrp. I would expect most corporate refurbs on eBay to be moderately reputabl

I don’t have a citation for it, but supposedly returns are a significantly worse environmental problem, not just with these transcontinental shipments. At least with Amazon or Shein or whatever, the packages are shipped as a semi-efficien

I’m not diabetic, but I can have intense energy/mood swings likely related to blood sugar. Non-invasive monitoring does sound nice to have a better understanding of what’s going on.

It’s not about whether or not you can accomplish the same tasks, but how much time and pain you can save. Can I do the many of the same things in freecad or inkscape as solidworks or illustrator? Yea, but it is quite unpleasant.

I think the concern/problem is you might want a pwa to have access to contacts, but you don’t want to provide contact access to the entire browser in this scenario since you may not trust the browser/other websites.

I’ve never used macOS or previous, but I recall early OSX updates cost money, like Windows, and the dev tools also had a fee.

The test prohibits vehicles, not specifically automobiles, but basically everyone interprets the rule to only apply to automobiles. Are motorized wheelchairs vehicles? > a thing used for transporting people or goods, especially on land,

Right. My point is there's a cohort of people here who are like "dont bother me, I only check email/slack in the morning, need extended focus time". At least some of those people are the ones who might know a thing or to
