After years of false starts, the next Highlander movie is finally coming from director Chad Stahelski and with Henry Cavill in the lead role. Cavill’s been the only casting we’ve known about for some time, but now we know his former movie dad, Russell Crowe, is along for the ride. Per Collider, Crowe will play a “key role” opposite Cavill, who’s still expected to be playing immortal warrior Connor MacLeod.

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

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-08 03:01:34

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

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
