Right, but it means you can basically (ab?)use Cloudflare to get free egress from B2 storage. Cloudflare won't get too mad until you start hitting terabytes per month; even the free tier doesn't have restrictions. You can also tu

I'm a bit confused by the "Singles, 20-34" map in your second link. How can there be more single men than women essentially everywhere if there is roughly an even balance of men and women (which there is?) I don't know

This is true, largely because no one outside the HN bubble knows Rust/Zig/ATS/whatever. Most companies and people want to get stuff done, and a new language can get in the way of that. It'll take a while for those newe

No, the generous "financial aid" policies of many universities amount to perfect price discrimination. They meet "one hundred percent of demonstrated need"; their phrase, not mine. This means they calculate how much yo

This is what I don't get about "financial aid". The "elite schools" name an outrageous figure, charge the rich kids, give money to the poor ones, and ignore the middle class. This is probably intentional: they wan

This looks interesting, but how much does it cost? I don't want to start using something and then hit the "please pay us now" screen without first knowing how much I'll owe.
