"100 year" is shorthand for probability. In reality, these are storms that have a 1% chance of occurring in any given year.

Keep in mind that after Prop 22 in California, some grocery chains (Vons, Albertsons) are replacing their employees with contractors: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/01/06/vons-albe...

Well paid, but not lavishly paid by Silicon Valley standards. Salaries listed in their IRS form 990 have the CEO making ~$200k and other engineers in the ~$120k-$180k range. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/or

Microsoft does use OSM data in Bing Maps. If you zoom to a the scale of a city block on Bing Maps, you'll see "© OpenStreetMap" in the lower right corner of the screen.

The replacement CEO was previously the chairman of the board. So while they did change personnel, I am skeptical about how different their actual management practices are.

This is really cool! Your objectives are refreshing and this looks much more appealing than Wix or Squarespace. For context, I am a non-coder who can cobble together basic HTML pages by mirroring tutorials but don't know the actual b

I'm curious about users. Why did you choose to use Pale Moon?

Have you tried the beta web app [1] recently? I have seen steady, albeit slow, progress and welcomed improvements in recent months. [1] https://beta.protonmail.com

I agree with your overall point but you did not pick particularly confusing examples. Representatives form a Congress only in their specific legal capacity, and if a Sheriff meets with people from a crime scene they would likely be referred

You write of a seemingly rogue CA treating its citizens as toddlers but remember that Prop 65 was a ballot initiative which passed with 63% of the popular vote.

They have the very broad mission of "preventing anticompetitive, deceptive, and unfair business practices" which includes electronics but not a strong focus. Upon looking into it further, the few big cases I was remembering were p

Isn't the FTC already "the FDA for consumer electronics"? Or do you hoping for an agency who is solely focused electronic devices?

I'm curious, as a Wikipedia photo poster yourself why do you recommend Pixabay over Wikimedia Commons?

That's just the $750k from the article title divided by 50 million posed in the comment.

I have been really liking Github Pages as I learn HTML myself (not a developer). Not only is it (for static sites) but the Git workflow has given me the confidence to take more risks. If I make a mistake and break my webpage, I just rever

It sounds like this charity is looking for an entire software suite (spreadsheets, documents, etc) not just email and cloud storage.

Mustang owners might be an exception but I would be upset if I was hypothetically sold a V8 Toyota Camry when expecting a four-cylinder, even if I only paid the lower price. I have a very standard commute where I drive boring and defensivel

I recommended Mozilla VPN to my dad due to the clear simple Mozilla user interface, known (to him) and trusted brand, and accessible documentation and explainations. Other than that they use the same servers as far as I can tell.

"Unusable" for human eyes, or unusable for computers? The images do not need to be very pretty for a computer to extract street signs and other features.

That would be fantastic! To add, the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) may even be able to provide the hardware.

True, but remember that Signal (the app developer) is an LLC. The 990s may eventually be posted on the Signal Foundation website if they ever finish it: https://signalfoundation.org/
