Near and dear to my heart. Would be very hard to add but there's a sensational operation called Mr. Mango (bet the OP has heard of them). Don't know how exactly they do it but Mr (Mango|Lime|Kiwi) sells fresh (often organic) produ

This was an excellently written, salient post with some good tidbits. I've learned some of these lessons the hard way. I'll add a few. Proof of work is important, but it's not about the magnitude of energy you spend. I went t

Achilles and the tortoise [0] is usually a fallacy. If the tortoise has a head start, then Achilles will never catch it because in the time it takes Achilles to reach the tortoise's location the tortoise has moved some degree further,

Excellent question it certainly does come up. Practically speaking the more populous zip codes are all accounted for and that’s where the vast majority of deliveries go to. For example I took the census zip code data 150 miles (crow flies)

GeoJSON is super useful. At Getcho (delivery, logistics) we use zip code GeoJSON encodings to draw polygons on zone maps and quickly generate rates. This has been a persistently annoying thing to do until we discovered this format. If you&#

There's a difference between sensitive, private and public. If public (i.e. NEXT_PUBLIC_) then yeah likely not a reason to roll. Private keys that aren't explicitly sensitive probably are still sensitive. It doesn't seem to b
