Not necessarily servers, just not into the register as a tracked transaction. Tax fraud, essentially. E.g. you go to the Minnesota State Fair, merchants may offer to not charge sales tax if you pay cash. It is shockingly brazen sometimes.

US Bank for a brief period opened up a 4% card, but then closed it so quick that obviously the numbers didn't work out there. 2% seems to be a local maximum of cashback cards. There's a lot of 2% cards, and only a handful above

27 tonnes of gold fits in a single container. You're talking about like 1 or 2 cubic meters of gold (for comparison, a standard 2TEU container is like 50+ cubic meters). And that'll fit as a partial payload in a single military

From the article it sounds like they moved 27 tonnes, not 86. (Most gold "moves" are just selling in one location and buying in the new, and eating the spread. Eventually I guess there's math showing the spread is large eno

No, OCaml Think node, except the other direction. They write their backend in OCaml, and then they also write their web ui in OCaml with a translation layer Or think of gwt (java) awhile back

Fair point I guess JS doesn't have to care about this at all because they're not selling their UI to others, just making it in house for in house use

That is a cool visualization. Punched in my grandparents' town and a bunch of the slices stretched 1500km over three states away. A lot of the US is big and empty.

This is not exactly a new criticism. See e.g. Fisk's complaint from decades ago r.e. "US Officials Say" https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/fisk/rober...

Sustain in college a good friend was a very good Oud player (plucked, some number of strings.... more than 8? I forget), and it definitely sounds different from guitar due to less sustain. Clearer notes and chords, but they don't lin

I would classify 290 miles as a very short flight, that's like 1-2 hours or something?

So far as I can figure, it would not haha. There's a reason why it's still just a hypothetical on my backburner of interview questions But you have to think about something after hours of brio.

While similarly playing brio with a two year old, I thought about a different dimension not mentioned here - super loose tolerances make the search space really weird. In true 2-year-old fashion, my kid would bend the rules as much as possi

Moore's law for 10-15 years was more like 20-100x ram sizes, not 2-4x. Performance, storage, etc is definitely getting better, but it's a different scale of improvement

And the geography (especially in the more populated areas) is like 60-70% mountains and hills and shit. Australia has significantly more flat land for easy solar builds, with 1/50th the population.

I am from the US and buy bags of sugar. What else does sugar come in? If not bags? I don't think I've ever bought sugar in something other than a bag.

If you wanna be pedantic, the set of people who care about fast mpmc queues with bounded waiting is very very tiny across even the whole population of HN, let alone the broader populace. I would posit that <5% of HN even knows what mpmc

There are three ways I've seen it done, though it being Google I assume there's more One is to try the bidirectional support with copybara itself, thought that usually requires more effort than it's worth. Another is to have

yea copybara is really for doing transforms in one or both directions. E.g. translating from external bzl to internal blaze BUILD compatibility, changing between external imports and internal third_party style imports, etc etc. If it's

I think the latter interpretation is correct. As in digitaltrees runs a business that does not pay its employees a living wage, who then have to rely on food banks and housing assistance.
