SoBe murders don't count towards Miami city's total. I was speaking more about Miami city than MDC.

This is 100% consistent with my experience in Miami. But, personally, I'd rather have the medicare-fraud-guy than the shits-on-the-street guy in my neighborhood. The former hurts me a little no matter where they live, the latter hurts

Exactly. I suspect (without much evidence) that most murders in Miami are gang related, so even less likely to affect HN readers whereas in SF it feels more random.

SF's homicide rate is low, lower in fact than Miami. But, its non-violent crime and property crime numbers are through the roof which makes it feel incredibly unsafe. Miami, on the other hand, actually has a higher homicide rate than S

Exactly. If you imagine Russia as a unitary rational actor, it makes no sense to blow up the pipeline since they would have had the optionality to shut it down anytime they wanted without destroying it. However, as part of an internal powe

I believe (and I could be wrong) that this was scheduled in January and by that point rates had already gone up quite a bit. It is pretty safe to assume that any executive at SVB knew the writing was on the wall at that point.

You are absolutely right. When I look at the ridiculous numbers of preventable vehicle deaths in our country, caused almost entirely by carelessness, I do wish that getting a driver's license was much much harder and that we actually

Ok, and how many drivers have crashed into emergency vehicles when being driven by humans? Without that number, at a minimum, the article conveys very little meaningful information. Also, anyone who has ever used an actual aircraft autop

For me, 'regulators' sounds like a bunch of guys who regulate any stealing of his property. They're damn good too. Can't be any geek off the streets. I suspect this is a different group.

Maybe its being a former haskeller, but the engineer in me absolutely loves this. The CTO in me is horrified at the idea of writing a whole bunch of civet code for it to die a coffeescript style slow death. If it catches on I'll be al

So basically the only solution is for colleges to actually care about undergrads and run undergraduate classes just like graduate seminars where the students have to interact, in small groups, with the faculty for faculty to gauge their com

Besides Hasura, every element of the stack is either the dominant tool in the market or one of the most dominant tools in the market (terraform). Hasura is pretty thin and not too hard to pick up. Please enlighten me as to which “batteries

Data: Postgres & Hasura (for me Hasura is the goldilocks level of abstraction - lets me skip writing CRUD handlers, but doesn't get in the way either when I need to do something complex). Frontend: TypeScript, React, apollo client,

Very cool. I switched to cloudflare tunnels from ngrok a while back after having some issues with ngrok. However, CF Tunnels were far from ergonomic or easy to use ( https://www.maxcantor.com/blog/2021-10-15-ngrok-to-c

Double nit: this was not a misuse the deprecated term "The Ukraine" but the correct use of 'the' attaching to "Ukrainian one" referring to the NOTAM basically telling everyone to remain clear of Ukrainian airsp

100%. As a GA pilot who mostly flies under IFR, the NOTAM system is borderline useless to me. For every warning about an approach being altered or a runway closed, there are 100s of "birds invof airport" or "unlit crane 50&#

Highways are a dream, works fine. For the most part it works fine in Brickell and downtown. I put a link to a street view of one tricky intersection above. It also struggles here when you're trying to go south on Miami Ave: https:&#x

This is relatively consistent with my experience using the FSD Beta in and around Miami with one major caveat. With two exceptions, all of my disengagements have been "quality of life" disengagements where I disengaged for reasons

Admiral Cloudberg's medium posts are always incredible, but this one really struck a cord and made me contemplate how amazing some of the institutions in the US Government truly are. It's all too easy to look at the SEC's a

a few of the providers required a photo of the scooter when you ended your ride. seems to address that issue.

Its like cities had zero controls on parking then just banned cars instead of building effective parking enforcement laws. Simple solution: 1) Cities establish guidelines on legal parking / riding. 2) Impose large fines for violation

I wonder if the design of blended wing body aircraft means that airlines will be more weight constrained by volume constrained. If that is the case, it would be economical for them to have much wider aisles (faster boarding) and exit rows

I believe that is somewhat offset by having larger rotational inertia as more mass is further from the center. That does however, necessitate larger control surfaces achieve the same roll performance.\ Also, anecdotally from my flying (I&#x

Github outages are the bored engineer's equivalent of getting a surprise snow day when you were in school, full of unbridled joy. For engaged, happy engineers its the equivalent of getting a surprise snow day when you are grown up and

Long running lambda functions are called AWS Batch. It’s a relatively unknown service but pretty decent if you need something like a GPU or long running jobs and can tolerate a 90 second cold start.

Since terrestrial LTE/5G can penetrate aluminum aircraft hulls, does this mean cell service in the air?
