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 pe…

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 pa…

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 t…

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…

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 probab…

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 m…

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 …

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…

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…

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…

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…

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 referenc…

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…

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/bi…

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…

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 al…

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 …
