You know there are a lot of places in the US with volunteer fire departments, right?

Paul Krugman actually changed his tune about this… moreover, you can find critiques of free trade being bad for workers everywhere if you look. And these critiques aren’t new: https://m.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/sanders-w

I have the similar plastic-coated hex but ran a cable across the top because I was thinking about deer. Never knew those porky groundhogs could climb so well. I buried a few inches and that’s enough to keep them from digging it seems.

I was thinking barb wire, too. I need to do something because I bought a lot of my fruit trees fall of 2019 and so they should be producing next year and they’re pruned low, not to mention I upped my berry game this year.

I think the best explanation is that NFTs are a very fancy system of provenance (which the art world already takes very seriously).

I was responding to derivatives being more fundamental than matrices. My rebuttal is that the derivative is but one in a sea of interesting linear operators.

What if I told you the derivative is a linear operator? (matrix meme style)

Six foot fence keeps the deer moving along... but those fat groundhogs climb right over.

I remember trying to use CU-SeeMe at some point in maybe 1995 but not ever doing so successfully. And sharing video was a PITA until YouTube, essentially.

My buddy had “beat a Fields medalist at a foot race” on his CV for a while after completing the Pier to Peak half marathon faster than (a ~60 year old) Prof Freedman. I’d run to Goleta beach playground with my kids and would see Freedman wa

The article also describes some companies forming their own quasi-police departments staffed with former cops. This country is in no danger of prosecutors around the country failing to prosecute shoplifting. But the country is in danger o

Unfortunately one has been deemed a “civil matter” and you won’t read any reporting about it in WSJ or Forbes. Hilariously, wage theft is much more organized than any shoplifting conspiracy.

by dls2016 5y ago
Wake me when wage theft is prosecuted anywhere near as seriously as shoplifting. Both have been estimated to cost the economy around $40 billion per year in the US. (Simply search “shoplifting cost in us” or “wage theft cost in us” and find

Exactly the scenario I had in mind with my comment. A lot of places are now "two tier" where the newer employees have no path to the higher rate. You have one guy hanging who can press the button for $43/hr, and anyone who re

Sounds like management dropped the ball of having the appropriate number of trained people in that position.

Whoa! This site is rad! I often thought about making something like this. It always seems like the for-pay weather apps are crap but all the data is freely available.

I recently built a janky system which runs nmon (plus a few custom rpi stats) every two minutes or so and pushes the output file to a watch folder. Another service uploads to server if network available. The server then ingests into timesca

I went a little crazy. I literally typed the whole book into cards, including ones like "prove a closed, bounded set of real numbers is compact." Then I would get a stack of scrap paper and spend maybe an hour a day writing down t

It’s not automatic, but the processing is guided by whatever processing scales (both in manufacturing and delivery of the “food”) and has been honed by a/b testing and statistically evaluated to be addictive. Maintaining the complex st
