Are you trying to claim solar has nastier end-of-life cleanup than nuclear? That is certainly one way to get people to discount everything you say.

That company and all those who work there are taxpayers. The justice system should stop the theif and jail them.

I don't know what kind of hellscape you want to live in where you need private security to keep anything you own from being stolen, especially something as mundane as some wires.

Was there a time when an oak dresser was much cheaper in inflation adjusted dollars?

Furniture that lasts forever is an anti-feature for some. They want to change their furnishings about as often as cheap furniture lasts anyway. I mostly buy quality furniture, but sometimes I don't know what I really want and Ikea and Wayfair are great for that. Cheap enough to donate after I decide what quality piece I really want.

No, people should say accurate things. If Flock was not actually invovled then it is just useless clickbait. Give your time to someone else who can report accurately.

AIs have no concept of time. If they wanted to wipe out humans they would release a virus that increases infertility by a small amount, and wait a few hunderd years for population collapse.

Having your cereal crushed and then not eating it is more wasteful than dozens of cardboard boxes. Increasing food waste to decrease packaging waste doesn't make sense; food is way more energy intensive to create than packaging.

I was in a city that did a bag ban. Informally I observed a lot of perfectly fine reusable bags being discard. I believe later on this was confirmed that the total amount of waste from bags actually went up since the bag ban was enacted. This doesn't even count the material and energy use to make the reusable bags. I think you be shocked about the actual number of reuses a reusable bag gets.

Can a reconstruct distinct areas of a larger area with a "fog of war" in between, or will it hallucinate the unknown areas?

That makes litteraly no sense. All the biggest companies are driven by middle-class purchases. Rich-only companies are boutique and are order-of-magnitude smaller than mass market companies.

I use it for tabbed content. That way search will reveal the tab and content on page search match.

I think a lot of people want to decouple insurance from employment but the mechanics would be tricky.

Ideally all business would take what they pay for insurance and stick it in the employee's paycheck and then the employee would buy insurance with that money. Reality says, a lot less people end up having insurance if you do it that way. Maybe force companies who once offered insurance to fund an employee HSAs and change the HSA rules so it can be used to buy insurance. It would take some thoughtful design to actually pull off the transition while keeping people on insurance.

This is less about private healthcare and more about how employer-provided healthcare is tax advantaged. Credits and tax breaks should go to the individual so they can choose and keep their insurance through different jobs.

It's not just the chargeback process; it is that fraud actually removes money your account potentially causing other payments, like your mortgage, to default. With a credit card you have a month to get things straightened out before a payment is due.

That is orthogonal to the point. Shipping is considered a hard industry to reduce CO2 emissions, like aviation, but unlike aviation, 50% of the distance ships are traveling are just delivering fuel. So solving non-shipping fuel use solves nearly half of shipping fuel use. The remaining uses of shipping are also much more tractable to electrify.
