They’ve gotten pretty strict if they think your IP is a scraper (i.e. coming from AWS or another cloud provider even inside a full browser environment).

It’s about moving inside a state. I told the DMV of my new address, but my drivers license still has the old one. Maybe I could get it reissued, but that seems like a pain. Many people move more frequently than the license expiration period.

Not in rural areas. Maybe for suburbs. At least in SF ppl Uber a fair bit, but I suspect most trips on a night out are not replacing someone driving their own car.

The other tell is 3 leaves. From memory (so maybe wrong), they aren't hairy, but do have a slightly broken edge (can be smooth, but can have a little but not a lot of variation).

You need way more than one. Trees, storms, and cars take out distribution power lines all the time. Substations, which was got attacked, have less redundancy and way fewer spare parts on hand.

Contract’s don’t (more accurately almost never) pay for gas. Gas estimation is done when sending by the end user.

Some parts of gas estimation can be done statically, but some of the cost of certain operations are dependent on the data being loaded from the state. I’d like a tool to set an upper bound on gas usage (current approach is to execute the tx on pending state and add 10-30%), but solidity does not provide one.

These are also mainly used on fully residential streets and basically codifying existing rules. They behave very similarly to streets without a center line & sidewalk/bike lanes. I also think cost does become an issue when implementing larger streets/bike lanes (let alone the fact that larger streets make people go faster) on every single residential street.

It’s not just federal taxes, but 50 states. I think you could get enough oss manpower for keeping up to date with federal taxes, but not every state.

They do charge for state taxes. It’s like 15 bucks per return with not that much up sell. I’ve used them when I had simpler taxes and liked them over other common preparers

My dad's gas car (20 years ago) caught on fire in the garage while he wasn't there. The house was fine b/c of a a code required fire break between the garage and house. It's probably more rare nowadays, but not impossible.

I think there were also some issues around metering gas, which tracks how much work was be done by uploaded code

One problem I have with plaid is that the most common use for them that I see is a company using them in order to setup direct deposit. It's also really hard to figure out how to manually set it up (I usually have to click deny on plaid and then I can input it myself)

I'm not interested in handing over all my info when I can copy and paste two numbers instead

It needs low latency. There is a huge amount of inherently sequential lookups in the state (~9 leveldb lookups per 1 state acess in a smart contract) and you can't store the state in RAM on most consumer hardware.

Those number's aren't that related to low head dams (most low head dams fatalities are swimmers, not whitewater kayakers or rafters or rec kayakers). While the mechanism behind low head dams (technical term hydrolic, informally called a 'hole') can directly or indirectly kill you, they're typically a natural feature in whitewater fatalities.

I know those numbers b/c it lets me tell my parents that whitewater kayaking isn't as dangerous as they think.

All you need to do is have a webpage that has a meta tag with name="go-import" and a content tag with content="URL src-control-method source-control link"

See xyzc.dev/go/ppgen and inspect the source for an example.

huh, ifort is slower than I remember compared other langs/impls: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

It seems like there's a small resurgence. You'd use fortan over those other languages for scientific computing. It's built for number crunching. As so it has some language features that help, has been optimized for it (see the n-body problem benchmark), and a lot of the number curnching libraries are written in it.

One example of a project that I've used (but didn't work on) is GEMINI which is a newish prokect written in modern fortan. https://github.com/gemini3d/gemini3d

You can ballpark these numbers just fine. 500/mo UBI for 350 Million recipients is $2.1T per year. US GDP prior the pandemic was ~20T. Expenditures were about 4.4 trillion, revenue was 3.5 trillion (2019 numbers).

500/mo or 1k/mo UBI does require raising taxes and consolidating programs (a polite way of saying cutting). At 500/mo you'd raise the total tax rate (as of GDP), but it'd not be an unreasonable raise (as compared to 2k/mo UBI for all citizens which would need taxes at 40% of US GDP).

It's possible that every tenant is being poisoned (and I'd suggest that this is not good either). There's some evidence that the new car smell isn't good, and the articles reference that problem being with VOCs (link to study https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016041202...).

It is odd that more people didn't have symptoms, but given that the symptoms preceded discovering that her apartment was next to the toxic waste it's more likely than not that this is legitimate.

It's precedent at a federal level (which would apply here), but that doesn't mean people like it. See [Art.] 12-a. [Power to Take Property Limited.] in https://www.nh.gov/glance/bill-of-rights.htm

10% of the population leaving isn't a small number. Though I'm not sure what a normal turnover is for SF and how this compares.

It's looking grim for plenty of reasons, but nurses and doctors working 50+ hours is not new. Some docs do that their entire career.

Also, if you've ever been treated by a resident, they were almost certainly over worked, they move to cap their hours at 80 per week received pushback from docs saying that residents needed 80-100hrs/wk for training.

Yes, but it's very localized. The magnetic field of earth is typically modeled as a dipole where the magnetic field strength is the same as you go around the equator at the same altitude.

Maybe with northern lights over equator, I'd have to think about it more, but it's odd to think of an aurora where the magnetic field lines are parallel with the ground rather than normal to the ground (particles are much more mobile along field lines rather than across field lines in plasmas).

I think the comparison might be subtly apt. Maxwell's is clean when deriving EM waves in a vacuum, but once you add in particles and go to the real world it becomes a mess just as you need much more than lambda expressions and evals to build software.

There is some info that hints that the people at home are not venturing out much.

I personally find this alarming that there is still widespread community spread. In my more rural state I think there is community spread, but nursing homes and long term care facilities are still dominating hospitalizations and deaths.

As another ww kayker, I like the helmet cam view for reviewing my technique/seeing rapids from first person. The video usually isn't sexy, and you need to remember that everything is way bigge irl, buy I've found some videos helpful.

Carnage videos of people swimming can also be fun/terrifying to watch from their pov.

It's the distinction between the building and the land. Buildings usually depreciate over time, but the land appreciates. In the bay area, the value of the land is significantly more than the building which is why so many people tear down houses and rebuild. Where land is cheaper people don't tear down and rebuild houses that have more life in them when they buy a house.

Residences are mainly exempted from depreciation, but commercial real estate is allowed to be depreciated because buildings do have a useful life.

In clojure if the reader (compiler) ever sees a list like `(2 3)` it evaluates it as a function call with the first item as the function so you'd need `'(2 3)` or `(list 2 3)` to generate a list literal (or more often `[2 3]` as a vector type in clojure).

You could do `(defn swap [the-list] ((second the-list) (first the-list)))` (which would invoke the second item as a function on the first item). It comes down to is the list a literal list as a parameter to something or is the first item a function to be invoked.

It's (as far as I can tell) not open to the public in terms of hosting so they don't need to be Sybil resistant.

This doesn't seem to be much more than a fancy way of mixing randomness together (which produces valid randomness if just one source was truly random) and then using BLS signatures on top of that. BLS signatures let you verify the nodes that were involved, and it seems like with how they treshold, they're trying to prevent attacks based on not revealling (ie. the randomness is the aggregated threshold signature of the random data they mixed together).
