I think the point they're trying to convey is that no two codes resolve to overlapping rectangles. In my town there are two zip codes, but both of these are handled by the same post office, so it doesn't really matter which one yo

You generally don't have enough time to get into an open field, even if you aren't in a city. If you happen to be right next to one, odds are you're in a single-story building with few weights in the attic. When these buildin

The older photo, Bella Luna, also has the shadow of the moon darker than surrounding space, which is weird. Or maybe that's possible. Am I wrong?

There's a lot more interesting data to mine there. I'm a lot more willing to walk out of a movie I didn't pay for. There's not really a way to capture this data right now, but the MoviePass system requires you to have

The fire department will usually just break your windows and run the hose through the car. From what I understand it doesn't actually slow them down by much (I'm obviously not condoning this activity). If it's an expensive ca

They're way more common in New York. Way less common in California. But there's also a scene about it in CHiPs.

And it's wise to follow them even if minors aren't present. If some kids are trespassing you can be held liable in a hurry.

On the flip side I've had a manager tell me to never accept a counter-offer. It's basically a dead-end path for you, especially at smaller companies. If you take it then management resents you, and you're likely to be passed

My issues are that it's not about how hard it is to teach, it's about the time/attention it takes to actually do the thing, and how predictable the path is. Because it's not even that short: - Identify if there&#x2

Ha! I was really expecting this to be Mosaic (97% in 1994), or at least Netscape Navigator. I guess I'm showing my age.

Any time is the time to bike Hwy 1. Best few weeks I've ever spent. When we did it mid-June a few years ago we almost never felt like we were in danger. Not in the CA sections at least.

I need you to ELI5 this for me. Let's say today I own 200 out of 10,000 shares (2%) of a company. Someone comes in and says we want to own 25% of your company and are willing to pay $100M for it. At that point (before any transactions

The point isn't that an algorithm is doing it. It's that algorithms are actively poisoning the system with orders that couldn't possibly trade. By stuffing the pipe with these orders, timely information to other traders is de

It makes it look like CA receives more than its fair share of federal money, which then is used as justification for moving that to other states.

But you aren't forced to use it. That's the whole point of having a dialer you can install. It seems like the alternative you're suggesting is that vendors be able to lock you into their own dialer, which was probably produce

It seems a little weak to me too. But I think it's one of those things about degree of behavior. My kids would enjoy flipping lights on and off at that age too, but only for a few minutes, or with breaks every now and then. I've h
