I think it's not just that "10% of the Top Million Sites are Dead" is a really good title, but that "Fun with DuckDB, curl, and the Majestic Million" is a really awful title. If they had gone with "Checking the

Which just makes the train less efficient and need more power? These carbon capture systems only work when the input energy is free (both financially and carbon-wise), but it seems like there's better and more efficient for uses the dy

I've had personal servers compromised. I don't unconditionally trust them either.

Don't get me wrong, I like Formula E but "fastest ever electric racer" isn't saying much at this point. These things are still pretty slow compared to F1 which is why I think they rarely show exhibitions of them up again

Builder != Developer. The builder is a service provider and definitely doesn't finance construction.

Because you need them to outlay capital now in return for likely future profits? That's literally what investing is.

Nope. I think people are misunderstanding the difference between courts interpreting "putting something in the public domain" as a permissive license and actually severing the copyright from your legal person. There's no curr

I do not think you lack imagination in this situation at least.

Probably not. The majority owner would have a fiduciary duty to the minority owner. With a person that tends to lead to uncomfortable questions about compelled work/income.

>Does it go back into circulation at that point? Yeah presumably except any bills that may be too damaged/dirty/contaminated, which is the same for any cash, in which case it gets destroyed.

One interesting and troubling aspect of this that I read in other reporting is they asserted a lot of the cash seized was drug money on the basis of drug contamination, but the FBI has deposited at least some of the cash into trustee accou

Why, you want to be caught by the catering crew? They're probably union too.

Many people? The search box is right there, but filesystems confuse the crap out of people before mixing in the app/local file distinction.

Lithium fires are considered class B so any chemical agent such as found in any standard ABC or dry chemical fire extinguisher would be sufficient. As for tools, there's stuff that can be used to pierce the battery case and inject wate

The delta between this and "Will Elon Musk buy Twitter this year?" [1] is pretty interesting to me. I would interpret this as that in the minority of people that think it will close, a majority of them think it will happen soon (p

This is not really true. There are tools and agents to address lithium fires, but you have to have them. If you just try to put them out with water, you're going to be there all night fighting reignition.

One important thing to call out about these fuels, and is often neglected in the reporting, is while they might be carbon neutral, they aren't environmentally neutral. At the very least, these fuels will still emit NOx and particulate

I've used quadtrees for some cool stuff I can't really talk about. All the things you think binary trees are good at but with x,y coordinates, or any n-tuple of coordinates as you suggest.

The LA area has a population of wild green parrots as well. Supposedly there's a stable population of a few thousand, and they don't do much harm as they subside on non-native plants. They survive by navigating the different micro

We hire out to various agencies, and I'm not sure any of them disclose to us what their cut is, but from talking to the people, it sounds like most only take a low single digit percentage on the hourly rate (1~5%). e.g. engineers on $1

IANAL but I suspect this is likely down to the details of the mutual legal assistance treaty between the US and NZ, e.g. the result of the US courts processing a foreign subpoena. Interestingly New Zealand doesn't appear to be a member

That still seems optimistic to me. These are non articulated panels, so I'd expect to see decent charging rates around local solar noon, but steep drop offs before and after, not to mention that any part of the panel being in shade wil
