One of the best examples of this is how TOTO the toilet company makes the electrostatic ceramic wafer chucks that hold wafers during processing.

This makes me think of microtubules.

That is a cool visualization.

I've wanted to analyze all published scientific papers and authors and their citation relationships in Neo4j but hit resource limits so this is very interesting to me.

That is the exact vibe I got working at a state government IT department.

Finding a counterexample that humans have failed to find for 85 years is a marketing stunt?

If the stock can be sold for legal currency it is nothing at all like company script.

This is exactly why he is so destructive, he is too stupid to understand complex system but arrogant enough to still make changes.

local admin credentials or two factor or the BEST is a immutable time-lock, so a snapshot cannot be deleted before the retention period that was set when it was taken expires

Enterprise storage arrays have immutable snapshot functionality that makes ransomware easy to recover from.

My parents got $7000 when the state wanted to shave their hill for better visibility around a road curve. They lost a pretty cherry tree.

Opposition to eminent domain would be a lot less if the government had to pay say 10x market value.

Trump wrecks everything he touches.

"A lot of us have very little love for authoritarian regimes."

That is quite odd because the CCP is a very authoritarian regime.

Your words have very little relation to reality

You are outraged by the 19 people sentenced in Texas and SO AM I but this kind of political prosecution is unusual in the US but ABSOLUTELY ROUTINE in China.

Nothing the US has done is covered up the way the CCP has covered up the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.

Giving away food is pretty cheap. You just put it on a shelf with a big "FREE" sign.

China is not actually communist anymore. It is totalitarian capitalist

"Where do you think I should send my bruised bananas to be eaten?"

They should be on a shelf with a giant "FREE" sign. You act like it is so hard to give away food instead of throwing it in the dumpster. Well it isn't.

And chinese don't have full freedom of movement. China uses a system called called hukou which binds a persons rights and benefits to their birthplace. This has created a population of 350 million rural migrants who live in cities but still have a rural hukou and are treated like second class citizens in their own country.

The worst part of the CCP is it's hatred for free speech

A third of the world's food goes to waste, but France is attempting to do something about it. Since 2016, large grocery stores in the country have been banned from throwing away unsold food that could be given away.

13.7 percent (18.3 million) of U.S. households were food insecure at some time during 2024.

8.3 percent (11.1 million) of U.S. households had low food security in 2024.

5.4 percent (7.2 million) of U.S. households had very low food security at some time during 2024.

No, I have a accurate belief that food is one of the most fundamental and important resources for humans and the lack of it causes enormous suffering and long term harm.

"do you imagine anyone can walk into the store and get it"

YES, BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO THROW IT AWAY! You would prefer to see edible food being wasted instead of eaten? That is very weird.

China isn't bad, the CCP is.

The concern isn't lost revenue it is empty stomachs. You should care more about the empty stomachs.

"the two are generally unrelated"

This is some truly bizarre logic. The perfectly good food being thrown away can be given to the hungry for free since the company is saying it has no value if they are willing to throw it away. You seem to be intentionally misunderstanding this basic logic.

Supermarkets and stores throwing away edible food is pure waste and fundamentally immoral when people are going hungry.

how does NOT destroying edible food make food more expensive?

It should be illegal for stores to throw away edible food.
