Raft Visualization 6 years ago

I don't have any particular use for this right now but the visualization is so good that I actually followed along and get what it's about. Pretty obvious to say but it's super cool and I wish more projects had this kind of quick intro/overview.

The reason for case counts staying relatively low in those places has a lot less to do with "herd immunity" and a lot more to do with still being careful. Even though a huge number of people were infected, it was still a very small amount of the population overall, not anywhere near enough to affect the transmission rate with no restrictions.

In MA we're not even close to entirely reopened yet, but as we continue step by step the transmission rate is ticking back up unfortunately: https://rt.live/us/MA

The only reason busses are the size they are is the labor cost

They're big because they fit 50 people inside a single vehicle instead of 50 different cars.

Okay, this is a good look into the payment systems of all three, but I feel like judging them solely by that and not by the content of the actual paper is probably not the right metric to use here.

Currying is the process of turning a function that expects multiple parameters into one that, when supplied fewer parameters, returns a new function that awaits the remaining ones.

I think this, along with the whole article, is the best explanation of currying I've seen on the whole damn internet.

Multipool also has a huge share of the network hashing power, but is designed to hop between whatever happens to be the most profitable coin. So for someone looking to get into DOGE for fun, it's not the way to go.

Project Loon 13 years ago

I immediately thought of "loon" as part of "balloon" and also "loon" as in insane or ridiculous. It's a perfect name for something so ridiculous with the potential to be ridiculously awesome.
