![]() With oldest-first comment order, conversation about a topic tends to attach to the first comment about that topic, so when you see a topic you want to weigh in on it feels pretty safe to jump right in to the discussion without worrying about whether your point has already been made many times over elsewhere in the comment thread. Reading the comments on “BOOK REVIEW: THE STRUCTURE OF SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONS”, I discovered a thing that I dislike about newest-first comment order. These costs on the part of the seller are not part of the tariff, but are presumably passed onto the consumer. Companies that sell to consumers have to take back products and have to either take them to a governmental waste gathering place or store them themselves and have them be picked up by Wecycle. Note that these tariffs are a lower bound of the cost of recycling. Producers and importers pay these tariffs to Wecycle, passing the cost onto the sellers of the products who pass the cost onto the customer.įrom the start in 1999 to 2015, Wecycle processed 110 million kilos of electronic waste, of which 83% was recycled, 14% burned for electricity, 1% burned to get rid of it and 2% put in a dump. As Wecycle is a non-profit, these tariffs are based on cost. The unions for producers and importers set the tariffs on each product (per item or by weight), so Wecycle has the money to do their job. So 6 Dutch unions for producers and importers created (and control) a non-profit called Wecycle, which runs a recycling facility and which picks up the products from certain locations (in contrast to what I said earlier, this seems to be part of the tariff as well). If each would organize the disposal of products on their own, this would be very costly and you’d have issues deciding who pays for recycling the products. EU law requires them to take responsibility for recycling the products they sell and sold, collectively. There are ~1750 Dutch producers and importers of these products. Having most readers need to at least vaguely skim what others have already said before adding their 2 cents seems more likely to result in the comments section as a whole being productive. So yeah, I think latest-first ordering has a bad effect on Scott’s posts because it further encourages the tendency (I’m guilty of) of not even skimming what has already been said before posting one’s own opinion. And in any case, no one really discusses the old posts in the comments section for the old posts once they’re old instead, they reference them in an OT or relevant new post where others are looking. This doesn’t mess up much of anything in an OT, where one OP often has nothing to do with those that came before it. Latest-first ordering extends the shelf life of an OT, I think, by making it possible for new comments to get seen. Option 1 – Allow them to join your Empire and colonise a planet in your space.My initial thought was maybe use latest-first comment ordering on Scott’s posts (on the theory they are more “evergreen,” and one wants to see if someone has added something new to them) and the old ordering on the OTs, but now I suspect the opposite is the way to go. The Droids display sentience and thank you for reviving their species and you get a new set of three options Option 3 – Disassemble them for minerals.ģB) Droids tech – Like the previous robot option, I am unsure if this has a positive and a negative outcome as I have only ever had it succeed. (Never chosen this so don’t know the outcome) (You get 1 Robot pop on a random owned world) The robots don’t display any sentience and you get a new set of three options When you select this you get another set of options.ģA) Robots tech – I am unsure if this option has a positive and a negative outcome as I have only seen it fail. Also if you later meet the requirements for option 3 then another event will fire related to that option.ģ) Upload them to Robots – This requires at least the robots tech and has a different outcome based on whether you have Robots tech or Droids tech. ![]() When you later get in contact with a Xenophile fallen empire they may ask for it and you can hand it over for a relation boost. On getting the event you get three optionsġ) Let dead aliens lie – Gives Engineering researchĢ) Upload their neural data – Engineering research but less than option 1. I have done it a few times I’ll outline what I’ve observed. You get different choices depending on the level of robot tech you have. ![]()
