This one isn't about carbon emissions. It's about plastic waste. It says so in the article:
“New Zealand produces too much waste, too much plastic waste,” said New Zealand’s associate environment minister Rachel Brooking.
With respect to how many times people use alternatives: that just comes down to cost and durability. Someone might not re-use a bag 1000 times if it costs $0.50 to buy it once. That's a lot more likely if the reusable bag is $5.
Going to let things gel in my head a bit, but I'm pretty sure I will get:
I generally don't bite on games until they hit $35 or so. Waiting for Spiderman and Returnal to go lower. There's a bunch of smaller games I've been contemplating for a while that I will pick through when I get around to buying stuff, might get one or two extras.
Don't use that version of it. Reddit added in a forced wait being comment edits, which that version does not take into account (because it predates the change).
This fork has a 5 second pause between edits which doesn't run into reddit's rate limit. https://github.com/pkolyvas/PowerDeleteSuite
It's possible but I think people are making too much of a mountain out of this right now.
For one, it's a leak and not any actual official confirmation. Leaks and various unconfirmed rumors are everywhere in the PC hardware community and they run the full gamut of obvious bullshit to reasonable speculation to actually valid leaks. This one doesn't have anything serious behind it to give any veracity; it's a claimed roadmap leak that lacks evidence or coverage from more serious players.
More generally: Nvidia got to where they are today by refusing to rest on their laurels. AMD almost caught up with them with RDNA2 and an Nvidia that opted to take things easy would have been beaten by AMD in 2020.
There's also just the general fact that, even if this is accurate, "2025" does not necessarily mean a year later. February 2025 and October 2025 are both 2025, but people are broadly, if subconsciously, interpreting it as the latter when it could be either or neither.
I could most easily imagine Nvidia running into late design issues that require them to launch in early 2025 instead of 2024. Maybe a validation testing round had a critical bug, or TSMC got back to them with a delay on wafer availability, or something similar. Delaying the release by a full year this late in the process is a non-trivial task to do on purpose when initial design — based around a late 2024 release — would have started in 2019, give or take a year.
tl;dr I don't put much stock in this, but if it is true I expect it to be closer to a one quarter delay than a one year delay.
I don't know why companies try to go down this path. All it does is result in people remembering their negative impressions of CDPR around the launch of CP2077...
He knows it's BS too, he defends the launch state by pointing to review scores. Those review scores were all based on the PC release, whereas the worst of the game's launch was in the console versions. Which filtered out even to PC players because now the developers needed to focus resources on fixing the console versions at the expense of PC.
I've tried a few places on my day trips. Toscanini's was great, but the serving size was underwhelming for the price. New City Microcreamery was similar quality/portions and basically right next door.
I went a bit out of my way on my last trip to try Matcha Cafe Maiko. They have tea-flavor soft serve and I loved that. I also liked Taiyaki NYC with the taiyaki cones. But it did feel far more corporate than I expected, even for a place with locations in multiple cities.
My next trip out I want to try Far Out for New Zealand style ice cream. That's something I really want to try.
Seems like they might have taken the Southern Military District. I have no idea what the end game here is but it's a crazy news item. Could influence a lot of geopolitical events in the years to come. Or it could be a flash in the pan that's over shortly.
Is there a Lemmy videos community? You should post it here! The way to make this place become a true replacement to reddit is for more content to come here.
Not enforced doesn't mean legal. You said they legally can be paid that rate. They cannot legally be paid that. Full stop.
I do agree that "tipped minimum wage" shouldn't be a thing and they should just be tied to the standard minimum wage.
No, but you should still donate yourself. It allows you to focus on charities that you care the most about and which you can research as having the greatest potential positive impact.
If you give $1 to Grocery Store to donate to Cause, what happens is Grocery Store gains $1 of taxable revenue, then they remove that $1 of taxable revenue with the deduction. All the deductions do is make it so that Grocery Store neither gains nor loses money from the forwarded donations. They simply aren't paying taxes on the money you gave them to donate.
The rules for this are good.
Some stores will do price matching with Amazon. Especially the bigger retailers trying to compete with Amazon. I haven't tried to go through the price matching process so maybe it's a pain in the ass, but it's available.
Reddit hasn't had their IPO yet. The only way that regular people are invested in it are by being invested in equity firms that own part of Reddit today. As best I can tell, the only one such company that (a) is invested in reddit, and (b) is public is Tencent.
So, for now, people are safe. It's investment managers at private businesses that might get in trouble.
