Probably would still be an issue with contaminating the aluminum with carbon and possibly other impurities. You'd probably need some other process to purify the aluminum afterwards, which likely makes it too expensive.


But that process by itself is always going to be more energy efficient than winning the aluminum from bauxite ore.

Of course you need a purification step after dealing with scrap, but aluminum scrap, even when contaminated is quite valuable, basically the price is a function of how pure it already is.


I think you're missing the key point of statically typed languages, that the compiler catches errors for you. Generics are valuable because it allows users to write "generic" reusable functions that are still checked by the compiler. Of course dynamically-typed languages can do this easily, but that's not the point.


If this https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui-system-icons/issues/52 is addressed, then at least any developer can choose to set their own fill colors.


No, this is the fed fund rate, which is just for banks to borrow really short term (overnight usually) to each other. Most consumer loans are based on the prime rate, which has a few points added to the fund rate to cover the cost of borrowing.


Adding some further nuance to this point:

- Many other rates in existing contracts are tied to the fed funds rate so things like existing mortgage and student loan payments may get smaller as a result of this action

- This will only work for new contracts insofar as credit risk does not materially increase (which it will in an economic downturn); banks will increase consumer spreads against the fed funds rate on a go-forward basis


Would someone be able to negotiate a 0% loan with a bank you think?


Not unless it's bundled into some other set of services with profit for the bank attached.


The path provided is being able to load Angular 9 components into AngularJS components relatively seamlessly. This is helpful, but it's almost certainly a big leap to get your codebase compiling under angular-cli. If you manage it though, you can, in theory, do a bottom-up replacement of all your AngularJS components.

Another thing to think about though is how you're currently doing state management. Angular 9 is all about RxJS, and if you're currently managing state without it, your migration will be that much harder.


Probably a combination of wanting to work on games, and if you make it through the gauntlet you get exercise a lot of power and reap whatever "rewards" may come with that. Maybe it's a similar mindset to enduring working at a consulting/law/finance firm hoping to make partner, etc.


Two problems, first is this would either end all class-action lawsuits, or spawn way too many of them. If a lawyer is guaranteed an hourly rate to work any case, then why wouldn't they? Currently, there's a natural limit on class-actions based on the validity (chance of winning) of the case. Since most people can't pay for the hundreds (or thousands) of hours of work necessary, they're all on contingency. If contingency is no longer possible, then how would class-actions be regulated?

Second issue is that there is a huge variance in the skill of lawyers and that skill has huge impacts on the outcome of cases. It'd be just like fixing the pay of software engineers in terms of results.


If you go to the Razer subreddit, there's reasonable consensus that buying from the Microsoft Store, Best Buy, etc. is highly recommended for the extended warranty, which you will have a high chance of using if you regularly game on it.


Interesting. Both of my problems were hardware related (usb port and a power adapter), but I wouldn’t consider myself a “hardcore” gamer, I bought my Razer Blade to play a specific game (The Dishonored trilogy) at the time because I travelled quite often for work and had the disposable funds for it.

Maybe I got extremely lucky with my build, who knows.

Sucks to hear other people are having such a frustrating go at things. Price aside I’ve had a pleasant experience with Razer.


In my experience Razer is both good and bad - good because literally any issue you have with your laptop they will just offer to replace it, bad because the replacement can take 4+ weeks. I'm also slightly worried that it's literally impossible to buy any replacement parts from them, if the need ever arises. From companies like Dell or HP you can order literally any part, down to individual switches, if you know the part number.


This isn't comprehensive, but no one has really talked about Excel being unfairly leveraged to prevent the entry of competitors, gain an unfair advantage in unrelated markets, or exploit its consumers.

Now Google may not have done any of the above with search, but it's likely possible to argue that they have unfairly promoted their own products over others, or "unfairly" chose to not list certain websites.


It isn't perfect. The IO performance is currently poor and it doesn't play well with Windows Defender (wastes a lot of CPU). Also, since your IDE would live in Windows, you can sometimes have issues with Windows and Linux both interacting with the same files.
