$500 CAD in 2000 would have to be ~$705 now in order to beat inflation, according to Statistics Canada - so his $8 return was not great. https://www.in2013dollars.com/canada/inflation/2000?amount=5...

To add a little data on this thread, here's a list of queries that I subsequently !g'ed over a 30 day period. Maybe Duck/Bing developers will find it useful: https://gist.github.com/typpo/605a7cd9da88c3b

I know Google is unpopular here, but the new design doesn't really change ad visibility. Just compare the designs side-by-side [1]. If anything, the new design emphasizes colorful organic favicons. [1] https://i.imgur.com&

Last weekend I built an S&P returns calculator that exposes similar statistics and adjusts for inflation. Accounting for inflation reduces the ROI by an order of magnitude, but the result is still impressive! (36,560.12% return) https:

There is a pricing link up top that goes straight there, but I'll add a link by the Generate Key CTA to make it clearer. I've also realized that mobile phones don't see the navbar link. Oops! Thanks for the feedback.

I have an outgoing SMS API called Textbelt ( https://textbelt.com/ ). Kinda like Twilio but with flat pricing, smaller SMS packages for hobbyists, no dependencies, and allows 1 free SMS per day (good for crons or alerts). I

Some folks are blowing this out of proportion: 1. Adobe announced Flash's EOL by the end of 2020. Google isn't killing Flash, it's already dead. 2. Indexing Flash means parsing site structure embedded within SWF files. When

The moons are: S/2004 S 7, S/2004 S 12, S/2004 S 13, S/2004 S 17, S/2006 S 1, S/2006 S 3, S/2007 S 2, S/2007 S 3. There are short Wikipedia articles for each one. JPL provides orbital elements but pre

The speed measurement in the viz adjusts "visualization days per real second". It's set at 0.1 because the inner moons orbit very quickly. Pan orbits Saturn every 14 hours whereas Fornjot, the outermost named satellite, orbi

I work on a data viz product and we've always struggled with a myriad of charting libraries. IMO Chart.js is one of the best tools for charting that has quickly surpassed existing libraries in aesthetics, ease of use, robust community

The amount of work that goes into car safety ratings, crash testing, and emissions testing is surprisingly high. It looks like almost every new yearly model is crash tested and all the variations are emissions tested. A few years ago I fou

Hi all, I built this using an existing model called PALEOMAP [1]. Geologists use desktop software called GPlates that defines a "rotation file" format describing the movement of tectonic plates. I wrote code that uses this file

Unfortunately that's how the data is provided [1]. Maybe because the Great Lakes were carved by geologically recent glaciation, and the model is built off tectonic plate movement. A writeup of the methodology is available if you'

Docker Hub's Github integration requires both read and write access for private repositories. In fact, if you want it to set up deploy keys I think it requires Admin access. See this issue: https://github.com/docker&#x
