Yes, in Florida
jackmoore··on Suikoden and Eiyuden Chronicles creator Yoshitaka Murayama has died
Suikoden was released on PS1 in 1995, so he would have been just 26 at that time. Amazing. When the topic comes up of changing Japanese box art for western audiences, the first game I think of is Suikoden.

And?
jackmoore··on Larry Lessig's theory: our society is governed by four forces (2011)
I think he correctly diagnosed that getting money out of politics is foundational to being able to make any sort of other lasting progress. I don't know why Democrat voters don't see that as the obvious direction that needs to be pursued to the exclusion of all else.

jackmoore··on Namecheap: Russia Service Termination
I'm a Namecheap customer and I support your decision.
jackmoore··on The Home Depot Teams Up with Walmart to Expand Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery
This has been my exact experience with HD and Walmart. I hesitate to do online shopping with either as it seems so horribly wasteful. My last Walmart online order was various groceries that I assumed would be boxed together. Every item arrived from a different location. I don't ever again want someone driving to my house to deliver a big cardboard box stuffed with padding that contains a single bag of potato chips.

I don't follow this
jackmoore··on Egypt has managed to plant trees in the desert using wastewater
You'd have to constantly refill it, which would still require irrigation for transport.

Instead of centralized distillation plus transport, you have distributed mini distillers at point of consumption plus transport. This doesn't seem special, what am I missing?

DT fired the previous Fed chair and replaced her with a man that was willing to cave to his demands.
jackmoore··on Four-hundred Thirty-Five Representatives Can Not Represent 300M Americans
Depends if I'm guilty or not.
jackmoore··on Food is free if you know where to look
Well, at least they smell edible.
jackmoore··on To Save a Neighborhood, Ban a Dollar Store?
Produce isn't the main profit driver maker for grocery stores. The presence of dollar stores can keep actual grocery stores from moving in, leaving communities with no access to fresh foods.
jackmoore··on Show HN: A Color Picker I Made
Sip is really nice, but in my experience it doesn't pick the exact color.
jackmoore··on We Should Teach Media Literacy in Elementary School
I love this, that is a great assignment for a Home Economics class.
jackmoore··on America Isn’t Ready for the Lanternfly Invasion
I'm in central Florida and they ruined my pepper and tomato garden this year. Stinkbugs are on on every fruit.
jackmoore··on The marbled crayfish is a mutant species that clones itself
Be careful creating a market or a bounty as it creates a perverse incentive toward intentionally introducing it to news areas.

The Sapiens author would have been around 34 years old at the time his book was published.

jackmoore··on 72% of Consumers Don't Know What Net Neutrality Is
Personal anecdote, the past 4 places I've lived were suburbs with only one broadband provider, a couple of which had daily outages that they refused to fix because it was difficult.
jackmoore··on 72% of Consumers Don't Know What Net Neutrality Is
If there was choice, but running cables and utility poles leads to a natural monopoly. Nobody has pockets deeper than Google, and even they failed to break into it.

jackmoore··on Mozilla Acquires Pocket
Totally unrelated, but I keep falling for this same cycle of disappointment based on testimonials for The Simpsons.
jackmoore··on After 1 minute on my modem (2016)
Thanks, looked into it further on my own project and found my specific issue. The svg width and height attributes were missing from my webpack-built bundle even though they were part of the source svg file. The svg loader I was using (svg-inline-loader) was stripping with and height by default.
jackmoore··on After 1 minute on my modem (2016)
Can someone tell me why SVGs are gigantic while first loading? I often see this even at modern connection speeds.
