Reply to comment by Wild_Garlic in Rather than heralding a new era of prosperity for rural and remote regions, remote working, inspired by the pandemic, is exacerbating the global urban-rural divide in the digital platform labour market by giuliomagnifico
- No
- As infrastructure improves and remote work is perfected, many will choose rural areas. As diverse people enter, the areas will change

Change happens slowly. Remote work will change things a lot in the coming years, slowly and unpredictably. Some jobs are fine to do remotely, some require physical presence, some can be a hybrid. The answers are not yet known. The pandemic forced a lot of poorly designed stuff to be implemented with varying success levels

Admongers are delusional. Why would they believe that simply seeing a product in a show would make someone buy it? All this will do is degrade the show and maybe get a laugh when it goes wrong

Many people overestimate the effectiveness of glue. It works well in some cases, OK in others and piss poor in others. Contact cement is typically used by shoemakers when working with leather, but they also add stitches and nails. I would add a few screws and washers to distribute the load

Nice incremental improvement, demonstrated in a lab. According to the laws of headline inflation, incremental improvement is called a "breakthrough". Maybe we need a new word to describe truly important research

Reply to Recycling plastic is practically impossible — and the problem is getting worse by chrisdh79
The headline is misleading. It confuses tech with some standard someone made up. The word "impossible" is troublesome
Current tech is very limited. Some plastic can be remelted, but it degrades with each remelt. Some factories recycle internally, adding a measured quantity of reground rejects or runners to virgin material with acceptable results. Some plastic can be recycled into lower grades for other uses. Some can be transformed into other useful materials without melting.
Experimental tech of the future will break plastic down into its components that can be reused as well as virgin plastic. The tech has been demonstrated in the lab and there is a good chance that it will be developed into an industrial process
Current plastic recycling is a lie, told by the disposable products industry. Even when technically possible, almost no plastic is currently recycled
