But it's not like the leather is going to be thrown away and Apple is pulling cowskin out of dumps.
The global leather industry creates four billion pounds of scrap leather waste every year. Currently, thatâ(TM)s mainly sent to landfills or incinerated
But it's not like the leather is going to be thrown away and Apple is pulling cowskin out of dumps. It's still going to be used, with or without Apple. Just, Apple driving up the demand for leather means cow ranchers get paid more, which means cows are more economical to raise, which means more cows get raised...and raising cows is bad for the environment.
There's a reason that there is a saying that goes "Wears like leather." Leather is an excellent material to make durable stuff out of if it can't be made out of metal or needs some give.
Even if you can't bring yourself to use real leather from any animal (a waste Native Americans would chide you for given how much leather is produced as a bi-product from raising cattle for food), there are plenty go fake leathers that feel great and wear really well!
The "fine woven" stuff was crazy bad. I upgraded my phone this year and waited to look at the cases in person, and wanted no part of what I could tell was a terrible material just by touching it. You could tell just from sample cases in the store it would not wear well...
Generally though for me, third party cases have been simply better for a number of years now, and first party Apple cases have just not been as good. But they could at least get back to making soemthing that felt and looked premium.
Those terrorists went to the Capitol to deliberately and knowingly disrupt the official proceeding of Congress. They weren't there on a field trip to look at the sights.
If you're claiming those people shouldn't be jailed because they were non-violent, then the same applies to all the people at Columbia who did nothing more than exercise their First Amendment right to criticize Israel's deliberate targetting of civilians, medical personnel, and journalists, such as the almost 300 bodies found buried in a mass grave at the Nasser Medical Complex, some who had their hands tied. This was the same hospital Israel besieged for days, cutting off power and letting babies on ventilators die.
Once AI starts going on an unfettered rampage, we can scorch the sky so there's no sunlight for them to power up.
A perfect plan indeed.
Because it costs trillions of dollars to retrofit a city?
Source? Billions at worst. Like I said, this is a solved problem, and places like Amsterdam have solved this for way less than "Trillions".
How much more inefficient is it? Because on my budget smartphone I can easily last two days with heavy use. So now I will only get 1.5 days?
If you play a long AV1 wide with CPU only decoding you are more than likely to get only two HOURS instead of days.
Vastly less useful than Teslas also driverless miles driven in MANY other states and conditions than Waymo drives in.
Tesla has a far broader range of conditions to train with.
How exactly has a non-profit helped women get jobs in tech fields?
Just recently I ran into a woman having trouble finding coding work despite a solid background and resume, some people had suggested to her she try Women Who Code to get some connections that could help her find some job opportunities.
I had contributed to them in the past as they also held women only coding camps for teenagers, that is I think the key way you actually get more women into coding as opposed to simply juggling the few professional woman coders in a sightly different mix across existing companies.
I had kind of lost track of them though and hadn't contributed for a few years, I think the coding camps were shut down... maybe the organization just lost track of the core mission.
Or removed "people" they had on employers payrolls who mysteriously returned to India when an audit was done?
