I found the job posting for Hadrius on the front page of Hacker News very interesting and would like to ask HN how they feel about it. However, there were no link for discussion and I could not repost the link to start one. Is it normal for Hacker News to have posts like this where discussion is disabled ahead of time?
I have heard my whole life that plastic is bad. Even the fear of micro plastic that I can't see has been instilled in me. However, plastic still surrounds me in my everyday life. There are obviously benefits of plastic beyond being "cheap". What are some things that make plastic good, possibly even indispensable, from a practical or scientific point of view?
