Drinks in glass bottles contain more microplastics than those in other container

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-15 15:01:34

The aim of the ANSES study was to determine the level of microplastic contamination in drinks such as water, soda, iced tea, wine and beer; it also sought to establish the impact of their containers on this level. For most of the drinks studied, the level of microplastics was found to be higher in glass bottles than in other containers. For example, on average, in glass bottles of cola, lemonade, iced tea and beer, there were around 100 microplastic particles per litre. This number was five to 5

When Sony Pictures Animation first announced KPop Demon Hunters back in 2021, director, writer, and longtime K-pop devotee Maggie Kang (The Lego Ninjago Movie) envisioned the project as both a love letter to the early days of the genre she grew up with and a vibrant celebration of Korean culture. Teaming up with co-director Chris Appelhans (Wish Dragon), Kang set out to craft a film that merges the dazzling precision of K-pop choreography with the spectacle of magical girl action, all wrapped up

The latest drop from Pop Mart’s the Monsters collection might be its most ambitious yet: putting the blind-box darling Labubu into a funky foodie product line that might turn off existing fans. With the Monsters: Wacky Mart, Kasing Lung’s original intention with the mischievous creature shines in a way that might appeal more to vinyl art collectors. Here they give Gremlins energy as they get into munchy mayhem in milk cartons or tempura shrimp. It’s a distinct move that leans into Labubus being

NYC proposes 5 percent raise for rideshare drivers in a bid to appease Uber and Lyft

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-15 20:00:11

New York City's Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) have settled on new minimum-wage rules for rideshare drivers, Bloomberg reports. Drivers will receive a five percent raise under the new proposal, a compromise to keep Uber and Lyft from locking drivers out of their apps. The proposal needs to be voted on by the TLC's board of commissioners before it goes into effect, but assuming it does, it'll end months of uncertainty for drivers working in the city.

Linear algebra is typically explained using matrices. But matrix theory is just one possible perspective. Below, I describe an alternative approach to linear algebra. Tadeusz Banachiewicz (1882–1954), a Polish astronomer living in Krakow, was passionate about calculating machines. From the 1920s, Banachiewicz developed a method for computations on tables of numbers, which was particularly easy to perform with arithmometers. In honor of Krakow, Banachiewicz named these computational objects crac

Verified dynamic programming with Σ-types in Lean

news.ycombinator.com Tanner Duve 2026-03-12 12:28:30

1. Introduction If you’ve taken an algorithms class, you have likely seen dynamic programming, specifically a technique called memoization. Memoization works to optimize recursive algorithms by caching the solutions to subproblems in a table, and when a subproblem is encountered, it queries the table instead of recomputing the solution. This gives us an exponential performance boost. This blog post will show how to solve a dynamic programming problem using memoization in Lean, and verify its c
