Removing plastics from landfills would decease the sizes of landfills and thus costs to keep them up or to instead incinerate the waste. Decades aren't enough, as plastics basically don't decompose fully at all. Landfills are basi

For recycling one of the hardest problems is separating plastics out from the rest. The rest is causing issues in landfills: landfill gas containing methane, which is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2, leachates contaminating groundwate

I like the comparison with plastics: it is often only used because it is cheaper than the alternatives with worse results. Also there’s a pollution problem.

I don't think the higher pay is true. There are simply less people proficient in new technology at the beginning. You're simply seeing classic demand and response play out. After a while things will calm down again. I think a bett

Shouldn't it be possible to compile Lottie-animations down to SVG+JS? Is that maybe just something that's still missing?

It’s still difficult to get right in cases where you hold a disposable as a member. Its not obvious if disposables passed in also get disposed and what’s right depends on the situation (think a string based TextWriter getting passed in a by

It's not necessarily malice, it's very easy to underestimate the difficulty building and running a real nuclear reactor. The 1953 'Paper Reactor' memo still applies fully today: https://whatisnuclear.com/

We’re not longer living in the 90s where we’re dividing the world just in secure or insecure. We’re living in a reality where everything should be least privileges. Using a code completion service should not give that service full control o

This line of reasoning doesn't make sense for retroactive lengthening of copyright though, as the author is not gaining anything from that anymore.

Before uranium enrichment comes conversion to Uranium Hexafluoride. For instance the German uranium enrichment facility (biggest one in Europe) gets Uranium Hexafluoride from Russia. Also a list of countries operating enrichment facilities

That’s raw uranium ore. Uranium undergoes several refinement steps. In each Russia has an enormous market share.

With a synthetic ETF you are not actually buying the titles of the index. There is a swap with a bank that guarantees you the same earnings as the index. Why would a bank do that if they cannot outperform the index? I'm just a layperso

Longer compile times prolong iterative programming processes and having to take care of memory management through linear types adds restrictions on how you can express code and leads to additional mental burden. This can be part of a trade-

Most index funds are synthetic. They would not be possible if it was not possible to beat the index quite reliably.

Both have a garbage collection though that lead to higher developer productivity than compared to rust's affine types.

Also regenerative breaking exerts force which leads to particle emissions from the tires. Breaking earlier and slower also helps when you otherwise would have stayed in the range where you can break regeneratively.

Microsoft Excel is the worst offender here. When you're on a locale with , as a decimal point it's not able to read CSVs with . as a decimal point. It uses ; instead of , as a field separator. Delegating parsing user input is a go

I guess the author alludes to the paradox of tolerance first described by Karl Popper 1945 in The Open Society and Its Enemies. Sometimes deterring punishment is the only thing that keeps people from abusing tolerance or freedom to destroy

Efficiency gains only lead to lower prices if they are bigger than wage increases. And those are driven by efficiency gains of the rest of the economy. Sure you can gain here and there some wins, but in the end construction is still a very

Israel does take selected journalists into Gaza on trips organised by the military. The issue is that journalists cannot make themselves an independent picture of the situation in Gaza.

I don’t think that there is so much geographical difference in phthalate exposure. Exposure is through products used throughout countries. Probably you will find some jobs being correlated to higher exposure.

Doesn't it tell you that the battery is low before it doesn't work anymore? When I used the Magic Mouse I never had any issues with the battery.
