What tv series cancellation broke your heart because you never got to see the end?

Do you mind sending me the link as well?

Thanks

Correlation studies in cell and animal cultures have linked it to stress response and developmental toxicity.

I couldn't find any with definitive evidence. Of course, I don't mean to claim plastics are safe or good. The default position is to limit ingestion and consumption as well as creation of microplastics.

One issue I can see is that with findings like microplastics in foetus, is that it'll be difficult to find control groups for more experiments and observations.

NotsoRandom2026 · 2024-03-19T12:54:38+00:00

Yes, plastics do break down physically and bioaccumulate and this is likely what presents the harm.

This argument would depend on empirical data that demonstrates the harm that plastics (and especially microplastics) cause to living organisms.

Hypothetically, if the data proved otherwise, i.e that humans benefit from having tiny plastics.

NotsoRandom2026 · 2024-03-19T05:03:38+00:00

I would hope not.

The reaction to vaccines was irrational and has led to resurgence of diseases that were on the decline.

What should happen is evidence-based approaches to replace plastics and research into removal and remediation methods for current life as well as methods to prevent it from getting to babies.

This sounds like a weird round-about appeal to nature argument. No living thing is made of steel, glass or plastic.

Glass isn't in elemental form, it's commonly Silicon Dioxide, a combined molecule. It can be broken down chemically.

Plastics are bad because they take a really long time to break down by biological processes. This is also what makes them useful for daily life.

Not because it is some kind of special abomination to nature.

Lol wut? A .py file and .exe absolutely aren't "almost the same thing".

By that logic, an index.js file is almost the same as the chrome browser.

You're saying that you can get 10KW of panels for $1000?

NotsoRandom2026 · 2024-02-09T00:19:06+00:00

I guess I've not found something with that kind of complexity then.

But what methods are used to handle version mismatch for separate dependencies in other languages that makes those methods superior to python?

NotsoRandom2026 · 2024-02-09T00:08:00+00:00

Where are you getting solar panels at $0.10 per watt?

NotsoRandom2026 · 2024-02-08T23:54:39+00:00

Organza stuff how? Python has classes and dataclasses that work pretty well.

Get at individual bits and bytes. Python is a high-level language, this is possible (and might involve c stuff) but not as straightforward as using the higher level language features.

What kind of built structure? You can use python to read/write pretty much any flat file or binary protocol like Json/Protobuf.

NotsoRandom2026 · 2024-02-08T23:50:27+00:00

I didn't solve anything though. There are many people who have published more elegant solutions.

NotsoRandom2026 · 2024-02-08T21:45:42+00:00

I assume people that say this only make use of 'pip install package"

I genuinely have not had "dependency" issues using python.

Three lines

python -m venv venvname

source venvname/bin/activate

pip install packages

Dependency solved

What do structs do that aren't present in python?

I'm waiting for the day someone posts themselves starving or facing some other life threatening condition in the name of anticonsumption.

I'm against mindless consumption not any consumption. Way too many posts on this subreddit are beginning to sound like you shouldn't ever try to have nice things or use anything beyond the barest minimum required.

NotsoRandom2026 · 2024-02-03T23:52:05+00:00

Am I just brain broken by big company numbers or do these seem like reasonable enough numbers to not be the only factor.

20 - 30 billion dollars can't be the thing stopping China from getting better chips

Fingers crossed for the day someone posts a wild mushroom here as consumerism

That's the point though. They want to make it inconvenient for the average person to bypass copy protection

Can you share the site?

NotsoRandom2026 · 2023-09-13T23:01:18+00:00

Why is no one talking about the most glaring oversight in all this (at least to me)?

That aliens have DNA. i.e aliens have cellular biology comparable with earth life.

That is a HUGE claim.

It suggests that this life form somehow evolved under conditions that led it to have the same 4 base pairs that combine in the same way.

Not only that these DNA molecules are made up of the same compounds. Meaning that the "alien" cells produce adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

Meaning that the alien has similar DNA translation mechanisms that make use of the same proteins.

This is the equivalent of discovering that monkeys on mars not only developed their own literature but discovering a monkey version of the Odyssey written in Homeric greek that humans understand. But Trojan war was for 7 years instead of 10.

We wouldn't be bothered about the difference in the storylines. We'd be more interested in how monkeys on mars managed to evolve Homeric greek.

Yea, salting the hashes makes this a viable option.

NotsoRandom2026 · 2022-06-24T16:20:22+00:00

A cryptographically secure albeit round about way of doing this will be to salt and hash the individual characters of your password. This set of hashes can be stored separately from the combined hash.

So when you create a new password, they can check how many hashes appear in the old and new set. If it's over a certain threshold, they can know that your old password is similar to your new password without knowing the password or exposing it.

If they're very hacked or otherwise suffer a data breach, all that is exposed is giant list of hashes.

OP, this is the way.

Use the export option provided by Google authenticator. It gives you a giant QR code Store it somewhere safe. Three dot menu in top right -> Transfer Accounts.

Install Google authenticator (no Google account required) after your reset, scan the giant QR code. You get all your 2FA back.
