...consists of a “triangle” of independent and academic researchers, researchers at big tech companies, and the government, all exchanging what they know and working in concert to stomp out disinformation.
Fuck that shit. No one is going to "stomp out disinformation".
I don't want the government, along with major corporations, deciding what is truth, what I am allowed to say.
I have to confess that I don't know much about Mac keyboards, but I gather that the Prime Directive of Thinness means that keyboard feel and key-travel are way down the list.
I really like my Corsair mechanical gaming keyboard (though I am not a gamer). The buckling-spring feel of those Cherry key-switches is wonderful.
There seems to be a lot less litter on the streets now than when I was a kid in the 1960s. In the car, it was, "Put the candy wrapper out the window, honey."
And when 7-11s appeared (in Canada) about 1970, the ground was covered with candy wrappers for half a block radius.
Fast food "to go" certainly accounts for a lot of straws. And containers, which are sometimes plastic, sometimes paper/foil or other not-straight-paper.
They don't do a lot of forks by proportion of what they sell, but they do sell a lot - it adds up to a lot of forks... but I don't know about proportions compared to other sources, like.... what? bringing a plastic fork to work for lunch?
Somehow, the forks and staws are getting out of the resturuant.
I don't know what solution to propose, but fast-food "to go" seems to account for a lot of the plastic litter; I don't know about the plastic that is getting into the oceans.
Probably the best answer is to develop some pelagic bacteria to eat common plastics.
From one of the Ringworld books (in which a virus had eaten the prevalent superconductor) - Louis Wu (IIRC) is talking about microbes evolving to take advantage of new food sources, says something to the effect of...
"Yeah. We eventually had to give up polyethylene."
The problem with such a bacteria is that it would eat a fair bit of valuable stuff that isn't garbage.
Regarding the Monster album by KISS in 2012, Gene Simmons said...
"Technology is a seductive bitch, she will seduce you. You press this button, you don't have to do anything. But analog is the love of your life. You can push real hard and it always gives back. For the new album, the actual recording process was 24-track tape and an old Trident board. And as many tubes as possible. You need tubes, electricity and thick wood to make that thick sound."

I believe they should be called "Smart Listeners" rather than "Smart Speakers".
Plants that contain an alkaloid usually contain a hundred different alkaloids. Assuming that some effect of coffee is from the caffeine is naive.

Viruses are more or less pure software, aren't they?
So.... look for entropy decreasing locally?
but...
Apple has seriously fucked up priorities. I have never liked their eye-candy. Hating the keyboard seems to make the eye-candy worse.
I like the MIT license. It gives people and businesses the freedom to use my stuff.
This brings to mind: "Management by Goals and Objectives".
I hear "Large" is good.

Time to patent making buildings out of wood.
So many /. stories are so lame these days....

In case you want, say, a beer, which is available in vending machines in Japan.
I was on a bus the other day and there were more men than wonem on it.
This is clearly racism. It must be stopped!

It seems to me that a fundamental aspect is "take out" food. Plastic forks and straws used inside the restruant aren't the problem.

If you come out ahead, you must be card-counting, and therefore need a little talk about having your arms broken. They have a robot for that, too...
Maybe the union should be pushing to represent the robots..
No kidding. It makes a difference. It is another click-bate headline.
I remember when a four-function calculator was $1,000.
It is nice to see some actual technical info in TFS.
Square metre?
