I had a very mild case of Covid. 101 fever for < 24 hours. No coughing or congestion. However, I've been without my sense of smell for weeks now. It's so weird to literally smell nothing. I can't smell freshly ground coffe

Miners could still stake their ETH for rewards. But they still have the compute power to do PoW, so, depending on the price of power and ETC, it can make sense to both stake ETH and mine ETC.

I think there was an important facet that the movie missed. The market has driven wages so low that people can’t afford to have kids. That acts as a counter balance to the less intelligent -> more kids feedback cycle the movie is predica

I think this is too myopic a view. Whether or not one is a party in a court proceeding doesn't mean you don't have "your day in court," which is just a chance for you to share your account of what happened. That account

GameMaker filled a very specific niche by targeting indie devs with little-to-no coding experience and giving them enough support to make a game (similar to Flash). Maddy Thorsen used GameMaker for Jumper all the way back in 2004, which was

Sucking at something is the first step to being kind of good at something. It's impossible to not suck at something new, unless you are a prodigy. Whether or not you want to persevere in the face of prolonged sucking is a personal deci

Even if the DNA was evidence as part of her domestic abuse / rape case, I think there is an argument to be made that using the same evidence for other cases is an unreasonable invasion of privacy (as defined by the 4th amendment). I sh

Perhaps this is really stupid and juvenile, but the show Adventure Time had an episode where one of the characters said “sucking at something is the first step to being kind of god at something.” I think that’s an important lesson a lot of

Any organization where people have the title "partner" is usually structured this way. E.g. I think big accounting firms like EY use this model.

Java has the same dependency issues. But, from the article, it seems like there might be something cultural within the Scala community that contributes to the problem. Most Java libraries, in my experience, are relatively flat. The article

Why LNG specifically? There are other sources of pipeline gas that aren’t coming from Russia.

Apple seems pretty good at keeping old phones up to date. The iPhone 6S is still supported, which was released 7 years ago.

I wonder how important the raw amount of emissions is. Density should decrease at a cubic rate of distance, so being close to a small source of emissions might be worse than being somewhat far from a heavier source.

Ok... a Chevy Bolt has a curb weight of 3,600 pounds as well. That's comparable in size to a Honda Fit at 163", but the Fit weighs 1,000 pounds less.

There would need to be a compelling reason to use the browser other than it being "different." For instance, the user experience you describe is exactly what it's like to use Firefox. Many websites don't support Firefox,

I think people are letting their personal biases (e.g. SUV=bad) get the better of them. With the rise of EVs, even small vehicles will weigh a lot. For instance, the curb weight of a Tesla Model 3 is between 3,648 and 4,250 lbs, which is ab

As the name implies, sin taxes are taxes to discourage use. Tobacco smoking, for instance, likely saves tax payers money because: 1) Smokers pay more in taxes through tobacco purchases. 2) Smokers die way earlier, so there are less social s

Why would someone join a call to read you the itertools documentation? Seems like a very contrived example. If it were possible to use itertools, wouldn't they just research that, update the PR, and say OK in a comment? The fact that

The Mexican government paid for the ears or scalps of Apache Native Americans. A gang of marauders called the Glanton Gang went around murdering anyone they encountered to take their ears/scalps.

Even if the tree takes “only” 15 years to replace, that’s still a long time. That’s someone’s entire childhood. It’s definitely worth giving proper consideration to its removal.

Sorry, that was a typo on my part. I meant circumference not diameter. A tree with a 48 in. diameter would be many hundred years old.

by zibby8 4y ago
Given that a tree with a 48 in circumference is several decades old, if not over 100 years old, it seems sensible that there would be some amount of process if you want to cut one down. You can’t just run out to the store and replace it. Ol
