  1. Re:It is solvable on Plastic Recycling Is a Problem Consumers Can't Solve (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    In Michigan (USA) you take them to the grocery store and get your deposit back. It is 0.10 cents a can/bottle and adds up fast. The amount of waste along the side of the roads and in the Great Lakes is greatly reduced from this.

  2. Re: Easy solution: AI on Plastic Recycling Is a Problem Consumers Can't Solve (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    We have spectrometers and SWIR imagers that can be used to identify the plastic in microseconds. This wouldn't be an impossible problem to solve.

    Figuring out what to make with the plastic once it has been sorted is the next question. Along with what to do with dirty or food contaminated plastic.

  3. Yes, computers can be programmed to handle many scenarios like that. There will also be a few people in customer service that can deal with the issues that arise.

    She deserves it for lying and trying to cover up for the most corrupt administration in the history of this country. I'm surprised she has lasted as long as she has actually.

    Because we went through a recession and then the Democrats were smart and made the coal plants clean up or shut down. Natural gas and renewables, and cleaner more technologically advanced cars were developed.

    But, yes, the trolls and conservatives also did their best to buy super-sized pickup trucks to make up for their small body parts, along with kicking and screaming the entire way about having to reduce pollution.

  6. Yeah, he is doing things that normal people would have been discouraged from doing a long time ago.

    And if he gets this really going, the hyperloop would make traveling between big cities happen much faster.

  7. Re:Not obsolete, even in paper on The Scientific Paper Is Obsolete (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    There need to be more peer reviewers whose sole job is to back up the results. To do the experiments or follow the math and to be able to say that the findings are valid or not. It is a perfect job for both the older experienced people and entry level people in that field.

  8. Re:One inch?! on Google Fiber Is a Faint Echo of the Disruption We Were Promised (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    The cable company told the city that they had buried all their wires 12" deep. I cut their cable at 4" deep with my shovel in my backyard.

  9. Re:No. on Can Mesh Networks Save a Dying Web? (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    It could have been done. Had wireless routers had an open , no-password public connection and mesh capabilities built in from when I wrote a similar theory back in 1999, we would have a good system by now. I agree that the early adoption problem and rural problem exists, but I blame Linksys and Netgear for not giving us an anonymous backup mesh network. Paranoid people not wanting to share "bandwidth" who closed their routers didn't help either.
