I recently asked about this while touring a landfill in northern California.

Only some types of waste can be composted, and large scale compost buyers are very picky about what went into the compost. Residential compost tends to have very unpredictable contents, so it's basically impossible to sell it to anyone but small businesses or individuals, and some of these programs end up giving it away for free.

But yeah I don't think most of this could be turned into compost anyway, especially at this scale.

It's complicated and the implications and scope are not entirely clear.

The court stated that creative works such as web design qualify as a form of speech, and that the first amendment does not allow the government to use law to force creators to speak any message — especially one with which they disagree. Essentially, any business with something that might be considered speech as its product or service may be free to discriminate against protected classes. We aren't sure how far this will extend in practice, but I expect many will test it.

In this case of this post, it depends on what is being sold.

Edit: wrote this before my coffee and thus neglected to point out what replies said: political affiliation is not a protected class in America and these signs are a bit misleading. See replies.

I found a real estate listing for the house (yes, you could own this beauty), but I don't know if posting it would count as doxxing per community rules, so I won't. In any case, this is not a business.

They want £300k+. Based on what was written, the whole idea was minimal maintenance and maximum room for parking. The back yard/back "garden" is the same as the front: just a bunch of tile. The interior is less offensive, but just what you'd expect: very modern, lots of black and white and bold shapes.

With the right circumstances, you can sometimes see the actor's pulse on their neck. Sometimes they'll hold their breath or breathe slowly, but there's not much you can do about the heart.

I don't quite follow this. It might be a slow query with a full scan, but you could select on user-id, join post-ids with community-ids, and aggregate how a user votes in various communities, or do an export that joins votes and posts to analyze for word-clusters they up/down or whatever.

I think they mean you couldn't exclusively pre-aggregate it to a vote tally on the post record and not track it per user. It must be tracked on a per-user per-post basis (in some way).

At that point, many structures would not provide adequate protection. Sometimes I miss Oklahoma weather, but... not like that.

there's nothing stopping anyone from making mobile apps are alternative web front-ends

The biggest thing stopping people is the fact that the API does not actually work. As far as I can tell, every API endpoint (slowly) returns:

{
    "@context": "/api/contexts/Error",
    "@type": "hydra:Error",
    "hydra:title": "An error occurred",
    "hydra:description": "Internal Server Error"
}

In order for anyone to build new clients, the API first needs to be finished. Unfortunately, the choice of using PHP/Symfony is going to hinder that due to its incredibly low popularity. I got my start in software engineering by professionally writing PHP, but I haven't touched it in at least 15 years.

I'm currently trying to find my way around kbin-core, and it is a mess. There are almost no comments (and some commented-out code with no explanation), huge amounts of what I assume are stubs, and the commit log is a nightmare (commit descriptions are meaningless and repeated, like four commits in a row with only "Post expand fix" as a description).

This needs a lot of work before anyone should start trying to build API integrations.
