everyone loves the sound of screaming fans with a cup of coffe in the morning.

Seriously, the page is frustratingly broken on Firefox, kinda works but pages won't move reliably. Works fine on chrome.


> The only solution is landfill.

Why would it? The only thing needed to get rid of plastic is destroying it's key advantage over other materials (price) either by force or will.

I am very convinced that science will bring us a better material e.g. by looking at nature if we are "forced" to do so, this can be through market force, e.g. oil becoming just too expensive. I'm thinking long term here.

Landfill is the only solution that is guaranteed to fail. We're living on a quasi-infinite planet with a population that is to this date increasing. It will be easier to get new resources onto the planet than it is to get them away from the planet and stuff piling up indefinitely is clearly infeasable.


>population that is to this date increasing

Yes, but it will peak then fall[1]. The number of babies born per year has already peaked and is falling[2].

it's entirely possible humanity will not stay in that regime forever and grow exponentially again


it says 's3 compatible', it has an ENDPOINT parameter, it shows an example in the readme setting up a minio-server via docker compose. I'd say yes :)


yes, any s3


wouldn't a healthy - "we screwed up - why is that, how can we fix it" - be the right shift in company culture?

If Boeing officially states "we're fine with both options, NASA you decide" (according to NASA press conference) they should not be blaming anyone from that point. I understand that this comes from a tabloid and might not represent the company but clearly there seems to be a statistical relevant amount of screw ups at Boeing and none of that happening at SpaceX, why the hate, why not learn?


(This will lead nowhere..) but hearing someone claim theft, which is a well defined term, usually involving physically taking something from someone is so much of a statement like confused billionaires claiming a "woke mind virus".

Have we left the ability behind to make informed discussions?


Germany, to this day, has been unable to fix their nuclear waste treatment. There is no single approved upon solution for radioactive waste and recently it became clear that even some facilities need to resurface and relocate waste which, again, has no clear path after decades. I'm sceptical that any of the recent "influencer campaigns" (it feels like that for me watching x/ twitter) have ever addressed this.


Do you have a source for this?


you'll need to translate this and it's just an intro https://www.ndr.de/geschichte/schauplaetze/Marodes-Atommuell...

"Search for final repository could drag into 2070s" https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/what-do-nuclear-w... (contains many official sources)

Thank you for your reply.


anyone here can say a word or two about ZBLAN fibre optical cable created in microgravity environments?


My understanding is that they've basically figured out how to make regular glass fibers that are basically as good.


I today came to my raivo OTP - a popular iOS 2FA app - just to be greeted with an initial setup screen.

Upon completing setting up a new master password I came to an empty screen. I'm locked out of all my providers without any warning due to an update that resets the application (thanks iOS for auto updating).

The "file bug" link in the app item leads to a deactivated github issue section and the maintainer is closing and deleting comments that people - in understandable panic mode - leave in PRs.

I'm aware that I can restore 2FA with backup codes, still this behavior is highly unprofessional and people should be warned IMO to switch to a trustworthy application and avoid the developer of this application completely.


Seems they deactivated the issue section while people have been still looking for help how to restore their data.

wait, arent these previews just images? whenever I worked on making these previews work with twitter, telegram etc I used opengraph tags (and similar) or dynamically created them (react).


> dynamically created them (react)

I'm curious if this worked because as far as I'm aware, most of these are basic HTTP requests where the meta tags are parsed without the JS being executed.
