But you say they are coming up with excuses for her. There are no excuses provided there.

You mean like Ukrainians? When Putin just won the election?

They are going to spend those 4 years doing everything they can to fix the next election as well. Gerrymandering, voter intimidation, you name it. By all means hide in bed to get over the shock but, if you stay there, you’ll need to stay there more than 4 years.

Given how much they have been projecting about vote-rigging, I would say this is very plausible.

We found the solutions a long time ago - it’s just that nobody wanted to implement them.

I think it’s quite clear that we did.

To be clear, that’s the only sense that people have managed to make of it. That doesn’t mean that was actually what he was referring to.

The way you’ve worded that suggested to me that there isn’t an actual solution so, for the people who didn’t click through, I’ll point out that the article concludes: “more sustainable alternatives to plastic bottles exist for all three types of beverage”.

That said, in order to compare the environmental impact, there has to be some kind of weighting between the energy cost of manufacture and the direct environmental pollution (discarded plastic choking marine animals; microplastics; etc). I’m not sure it even makes sense to try to combine them. Climate change is an imminent existential threat, whereas microplastics are poisoning us but not obviously killing us.

I also wonder what they assumed for the energy source in the glass manufacture. It is mostly fossil fuels at present, but the industry is moving towards electrification.

The insurance companies saw this coming. That’s why they have the clauses that exclude flood damage.

They don’t only say static types. They add classes, inheritance, subtyping, and virtual calls. Mind you, the difference between the last 3 is quite subtle.

So, since I’ve started nit-picking, Self is also OO and has prototype-based inheritance (as does javascript, but I’m not sure I’d want to defend the claim that javascript is an OO language).

In this post I use the word “OOP” to mean programming in statically-typed language

So Smalltalk is not object-oriented. Someone tell Alan Kay.

If AIs are to find the solution for us, we need one really smart one, not many AIs that are similarly smart to existing ones. He is proposing building more data centres, ie. the latter option.

Tanks are named after tanks, after all.

I had to double-check that I was still on Lemmy.

If we can spot these trends while working 9-5, then an idiot can probably spot them if they spend 40 hours a week on it.

The 5 bullet points do not sound like slang terms to me.

We know perfectly well that the art is behind glass and will not be damaged because they did it before. So it’s complete nonsense to say that it will potentially destroy the art.

Losing 2,000 litres of helium is possibly the worst part of this.

Remember, Putin says that he is doing this to liberate the Ukrainian people.

The author trying to make a connection is not clarifying which bias Tlaib meant. It is just as likely to be misrepresenting what Tlaib meant.

And, when you think about it, Tlaib said biases - plural - so this ‘clarification’ - if it was a clarification - is ignoring the other biases.
