Are there any large lakes in Polynesia? The Māori, Hawaiians, etc are one group of people I would expect to make a distinction between lakes (puddles, really) and open ocean.

It doesn't really matter. 45,000 acres for a tank farm, or multiple tank farms, would be basically free by the standards of this project. Yes it's "an area the size of Washington DC" but it wouldn't be in Washington

But if the forger claims his name is John Smith (or his date of birth is xx/xx/2004) he will edit the human-readable part. If he pairs the edited human-readable part with a real barcode copied from a real license in someone else&#

This is a great investigation but I have two small nits: > the ZNB field is not empty and not garbage: it contains a well-formed 71-byte DER ECDSA signature, correctly Ascii85-encoded, with the right prefix and a plausible length. But it

Sportsbooks typically pay back more like 90%, brick and mortar casinos 90%-99% depending on the game. I don't know what Ontario mandates for regulated online casinos, but I'd guess they're at the high end of that and focus on

Actually I think it's better if everything fails at once and everyone can take the day off (thanks, AWS!). Having your CI fail one day and your package repository the next might well cost you two days of productivity.

They already don't work for 130+ days of holidays, weekends, vacations and sick leave. What's another two days? Probably I already ask them to spend 2+ days attending HR or compliance training or listening to senior management tel

I usually tell people you don't need as much reliability as you think. Three nines reliability is great for most purposes. 8 hours downtime a year. If your system produces money at a constant rate, it captures 99.9% of the available mo

One of the things I hate about my current job is that it's impossible to do this. Everything is locked behind multiple layers of permissions. It takes weeks to get the correct permissions set up even for my actual job (which I see any

How does that work, are people from East Prussia today entitled to come and live and work in Germany? Or was that right dropped at some point? Or only ever available to those of German descent (which seems uncomfortably close to the values

I think any interpretation of this that would measure "a third of... shopping" by number of individual sites rather than dollar volume is disingenuous at best. > About a third of all non-big-box/amazon online shopping runs

Let it iterate, give it access to the cheap models, and tell it part of the requirements is that the cheap models shouldn't be able to solve it with such and such a prompt. I expect it will be able to zoom in on something. One shot gen

Your car does that already. It has a superhuman braking system that saves a lot more lives than cruise control, though not quite sub-millisecond in its reaction time.

I try to structure my work in such a way that "git add ." is a sensible thing to do. I stashed or committed outstanding changes before starting on this feature, and I did exactly enough work for one commit since then. And the stat

The "ballsy move" is completely separate from the mistake. I don't think there was anything particularly ballsy, or perhaps even reckless, about agreeing to test the taxiing behaviour. It never crossed his mind that this coul

If they sell enough of it in the US and buy enough in London, traders who take the other side of that position will physically move it to London. That's exactly the service the commodities markets provide: they will absorb a small trad

But you also don't touch it, eat it, or stand under it when it rains, so the opportunity to burn it by mistake is limited.

Afraid for your life if you were to confront the thief . That reasonably covers pretty much all cases, especially in a state where lots of people have guns.

It's not particularly unusual in Python , because it's normal that important functionality is implemented in other languages by a diverse set of third parties. That said, this isn't a security vulnerability, it's just a

Why are we not just in a free lunch moment but with harnesses, rather than models? Right now a lot of people have a lot of opinions on which model to use for which task. They get better results for less money by judiciously switching betwee

How about a mirror that is only there when you need it? The car could detect from a combination of your eye movement and from its own monitoring of the road behind when you are likely to check the mirror, and pop it out then. This sounds li

But fiction is the best way to learn about those past times. You could read in a history book - in the few sentences your locality's curriculum can spare for Victorian England - that there was a lot of urban poverty in London after the

A trained operator could have got up to a very high speed anyway, though, as the age of typewriters would show. Even if Paige didn't know that. Having the machine able to keep up is more important than the speed of the typist.
