The Cocoanuts is the Marx Brothers’ first released film, 1929. So was the first Gold Diggers of Broadway, though several reels of it are sadly lost.ĭouglas Fairbanks’ The Iron Mask was released in 1929, as was The Taming of the Shrew, the first sound film Shakespeare. The original “The Broadway Melody” was released in 1929. Various Buster Keaton and Laurel/Hardy short films Nonetheless, I checked out clips of the 1923 version on the TCM website, and it was still pretty intriguing.ĭouglas Fairbanks film The Thief of Bagdad was released in 1924, and was apparently his favorite.Ĭharlie Chaplin’s The Gold Rush was released in 1925!!! I was really excited for Scaramouche for a second, until I realized that the 1923 film is different from the 1952 one, which had the longest continuous cinematic sword fight. With newest-first comment order, it feels like the only way to have reasonable confidence that you’re not repeating a conversation that’s already been had is to read all the comments on the post - often a daunting task!įor what it’s worth, my personal, idiosyncratic preference would be for oldest-first comment order with a single level of nesting, so comments directly on the post can be used to split out different topics of conversation related to the original post, but replies to those top-level comments proceed in a more linear, conversational sequence. 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. 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.
