The company in this case is owned by the government so it's all the same thing. The actual logistics would change if it weren't, I agree.

I think that's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa,_Louisiana based on the URL :) Climate data is usually by city, since (say) Sioux City and Cedar Rapids may have totally different climates.

What are my tax dollars for if not ensuring my neighbors don't freeze to death? We're not talking about real (in the economic sense) limits here. The vast majority of people pay their electric bills fully and on time. The majority

The funny thing is, every eCommerce site already knows this at least implicitly. We've all heard the "every X ms of additional latency on the site reduces our conversion rate Y bps". Adding friction to anything means it&#x27

Worst case, you could have some diesel generators at the bus depot.

A tesla won't get the tax credit any more (they've sold too many cars). Unless that's changed with one of the covid packages.

Seat belts have been required in some states for decades at this point. We had them on buses when I was in elementary school 20 years ago, in NJ. Now... getting kids to actually use them is a different matter.

Yes, that's a great point. Even if you ignore the usual idle time between the morning and afternoon runs, I have to imagine a range of 150-200 miles would cover ~95% of use cases. The bus problem therefore should be much easier than th

There's still a lot of debate if raising interest rates is what actually caused inflation to fall. Another theory is that it was actually Regulation Q. https://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~asavov/alexisavov/Alexi_Savo

I think people conflate what MMTers were saying post-2008, which was we had WAAAAAAAAAAAY more capacity to print money, especially from 2008-2014 or so, with we can spend literally infinite money. And so you get all of these people saying &

The state has a monopoly on money because they collect taxes. Try paying your taxes in BTC and tell me how that goes.

It's extremely meaningful. It measures those who are unemployed. U-6 counts underemployment and people not actively searching due to an "economic reason". Even regardless, the current U-6 rate is very close to the record low:

Any man who has had sex with another man used to be unable to give blood in the US, due to federal regulations, because of the risk of HIV. The current regulation states: “Defer for 3 months from the most recent sexual contact, a man who ha

Perhaps an ignorant question, but don't hidden services not need exit nodes? It'd make using Twitter a lot faster, I'd assume?

This argument is more colorable when not applied to people who signed a contract that says you must follow all orders given to you by the president or others in the chain of command. Those orders might include literal suicide missions, or e

In my American centric view of the separation of powers, that's not how it'd work at all. The legislature would pass a law allowing the banning of media (ignoring the issue if that's a good idea or not for this hypothetical),

How many bugs in software result from forgetting to handle an edge case? Not surprising the same thing can happen in contracts; they're both written by humans. And you can't unit test a contract! (ignoring smart contracts for now)

Back in the day, people insisted that containers were not security boundaries and should not be treated as such. They're meant to contain things from going off the rails unintentionally, but an actual threat was another story. However,

I have to imagine a lot of that has to do with the HW work they do, as a percentage of their business? Even regardless of the confidentiality aspect (and we all know how Apple feels about that), for a decent number of folks, they might need
