A more accurate description of code is that it’s a depreciating asset, perhaps, or an asset that requires maintenance cost. Neither of which is a liability

“A golf game is 65-75 swings over ~5 hours.”

What about the back nine though?

It’s also setting a precedent that IP usage requires a contract. Never mind that the contract is bonkers!

Energy is very cheap for data centers. have you ever looked up wholesale energy rates? It’s like a cent per kilowatt hour.

tl;dr: custom, naïve Concatenation formatting implementation can cause bugs

There’s nothing basic about billing.

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. ... But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness.

Kenya is an equatorial country so they basically have steady ~12 hours of sunlight every day year round. Pretty cool!

They should just put one on a windmill and make it to brrrr

Wikipedia was never a primary source to begin with

If America saves Argentina, and Argentina becomes a powerful country again, that is a powerful ally we could have for a century.

Is it possible that this was a bullet?

A 50 cal bullet is estimated to reach 15,000 feet if fired straight up.

But this is Colorado: in the most extreme scenario, standing atop Mount Elbert, you’re already at ~15,000 feet.

Combine these two — and account for the dramatically reduced air resistance along the bullet’s path starting from high altitidue — you could conceivably get a bullet that high

Some dope standing at high elevation blasting bullets into the sky in Colorado seems as plausible as a meteor

There actually is some coal in New England, and if there was (for some reason) a desire for New England to be energy independent, coal might be part of the mix as a result. This article discusses some less-successful attempts to get into that coal.. and it’s delightful to see the date of its publication.

Is insider trading even illegal with bitcoin?

making emergency vehicles unable to access a street, very cool!

AirBnB is far more likely to help

While there is validity to this logic, the slightly lower labor cost does not offset the need to house more people, particularly when the cost of land and materials is so astronomical

The hypothesis is true for housing at least. Immigrants need to live somewhere, and that puts upward pressure on rents (which are part of CPI).

Jockey Hollow in New Jersey is a nice place as well, part of Morristown NHP. It’s ostensibly a historical park but 99% of the use is just a wonderful place to hike the small mountains and walk in the woods. Given the insane amount of NHPs in the Northeast, I’m curious if there are others.

Harvard sees a potential link, hell it’s the name of the paper: “Using acetaminophen during pregnancy may increase children’s autism and ADHD risk ”.

I think that it might be a real thing is because nobody really knows how acetaminophen even works. All the theories involve influencing the brain‘s chemistry. Who knows, maybe influencing a fetus’s brain chemistry can be bad.

And don’t forget to stretch the aspect ratio while you’re at it

My dad used to have a term for this.. “Saint Never’s Day”

No, it’s more like a billboard saying, “looking for a Honda? ᶠᵒʳᵈˢ ᵃʳᵉ ᵇᵉᵗᵗᵉʳ ᵃⁿᵈ ʸᵒᵘ ᶜᵃⁿ ᵍᵉᵗ ᵗʰᵉᵐ here!

This farm isn’t anywhere near the UN, though—35 miles away. Which could put it in westchester, connecticut, new jersey, long island..

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a video to watch of their magic? Preferably something that’s a longer form, like something on Netflix or prime video

The rich kids — 90th and 75th percentiles — are flat, with a inconsequential (1%) drop over the decade.

I was training an LLM to do my NIMBYism for me!

False.
