on: Www which WASM works
I just turn this stuff off for now, the only use I can see for it is unskippable / unblockable ads no matter what neat things are theoretically possible. Soon we'll have "booter" sites which suck their data from who knows where, without the browser being able to intercept and block the baddies.

on: Do not put plastic in the microwave
With something that's poison, reducing your intake just a bit is probably the best thing you can do. We know about vapor and outgassing and how temperature affects this. You don't need "sources" just a basic high school level understanding of chemistry to understand these things. I don't need a source to tell me water boils.
There are reams of information out there about how age affects plastics, and how. It's all based on basic chemistry.

on: Ask HN: Why are so many OSS communities on Discord?
Private nntp server could handle this quite easily, and today mailing list managers have web views with threading.

Yeah I tried to find out what this even is a week or so ago, it wasn't clear even after reading several pages. It sounds like you actually need to get one of their marketing people to your site to even figure out what the secret is?

on: Cleaning products emit hundreds of hazardous chemicals, new study finds
I hate news like this because they never EVER give you a nice handy list of worst offenders, safer options, etc.

Mailing lists will always be king. I don't get it either, Discord is proprietary, hosting your OSS project's infrastructure there just seems... idiotic.

You can significantly reduce it easily. Don't heat things in plastic, don't buy hot food or beverages served in plastic or "bamboo / paper," stop using K-cups, etc.

on: Bloomberg Is Throwing $500M at Efforts to Shut Down All U.S. Coal Plants
That’s not what that person said though. Bloomberg, the company, is an asset of Bloomberg the man, a tool he uses to accomplish… whatever he is up to. It’s a legal fiction under his direct control, money in the bank.

He is the company, it's his corporation. He's the founder, owner, and CEO. It's correct to associate anything he does with his company, while in law they're not the same entity, in truth, they can be treated as such.
