After four miles, it's a little shocking to me.

And I'm into shooting sports.

"somehow" is because Uber isn't car sharing.

With minimal effort I could align my schedule to share my car with almost anyone, if I didn't have to drive it.

> flat text file like a very ghetto database

My second site was a blog in about 1998. I had never heard of a blog, but whatever. I built a user system, "karma" system, ability to spend karma (anyone with enough karma could post on my front page), an interactive choose-your-own-adventure story where you got to help write it, and some other features I'm forgetting.

Anyway, I built all that with flat files at first, because I hadn't heard the word "database" yet--even though I wrote this in PHP. As soon as I heard about databases, I converted it in a couple days.

If you're calling out the claim in the article, I'd just provide some counter-evidence.

But no, they specifically said most of them are not orbiting red dwarfs:

> Most super-Earths orbit cool dwarf stars, which are lower in mass and live much longer than the sun.

This is a tangent, but what are your thoughts about the word on this image?

https://generrated.com/?prompt=digitalPainting&subject=anxie...

It seems pretty on-topic. You've seen a lot of images, so I'm curious if that happens often? Or how significant you think it is.

Wish the back button could find my spot on the page.

Fun to explore the prompts getting results similar to what I want. Great project.

You want to share your screen? Or see theirs?

The first is relatively simple. The second will never happen in one-click.

> This kind of sounds like being mad that the cop pulled you over for speeding, despite everyone else also speeding. I know it sucks and it feels like you're being singled out

It's different when every single app gets a review and these behaviors can be controlled at a bottleneck.

Your analogy is more apt if Apple decided they would only display websites that did X. And websites might pretend to do X for a little while, and then quit. And there's billions of them, not enough enforcers, and no simple bottleneck where they pass/fail BEFORE being released.

I think the death was infamous, not the kid.

I own a business that's 124 miles away from my home.

You can guess where I live.

Unfathomable has a less-generic meaning that, given the context, should probably be used.

That water is not fathomable, literally.

I'm in the Ozarks.

Rural property is usually listed as a lot. 40 acres is the most common size in my area--most of the original 40 acre plots have stayed intact and not been broken up.

I bought it in a pretty traditional manner.

Here's a site selling acreage in southern Missouri starting at under 2k/acre: https://www.landwatch.com/missouri-land-for-sale/southwest-r...

> A lot of major poker sites withdrew from the U.S. market as a result.

That's a nice way to put it.

In reality, they all flaunted the (bullshit) law, and set up all kinds of phony businesses and things to process all the payouts, because banks wouldn't do gambling stuff. I got a check from a golf shop once. Then the feds went after them on fraud and similar charges, and shut down Full Tilt, Poker Stars, and Absolute. Seized domains and funds and stuff.

That's when they "withdrew from the U.S. market."

Slots can be played profitably. Not just any slot, not just anytime, but some slots become +EV when the jackpots get high enough. Some other games have been profitable to play in the past, after careful analysis by players. "Advantage players" seek these games out and monitor them for profitable situations.

In other cases, there are strategies to just lose less money.

Anyway, all that to say, there's definitely slot advice videos and all that out there.

That's an incorrect definition of gambling, although it is an accurate portrayal of most gambling.

Poker is a good reason why your definition is incorrect. Poker is gambling, but it doesn't resemble you slowly losing your money to the house. I mean, that happens too, but it resembles slowly losing your money to the other players.

Unless you're in the small % of winning players, then it looks like gambling where you slowly win money from the other players.

Not only considered, it meets the criteria very well. It's definitely gambling.

If you're a pro (or better than your competitors), it's kinda like being the house in a blackjack game, except a lot less variance, because the edge is greater.

But still a lot of variance. Poker is gambling, and it feels like gambling.

Those are Irish.

I absolutely do not agree. I have some kind of legacy "youtube" account, which is not a google account. When I occasionally get switched to my Google account, which does not have my YT history of views/likes/etc, I get tremendously bad recommendations. Just the biggest youtubers with the most click-baity titles, and topics like celebrities, which I actively hate.

Also I find it gives me a ton of recommendations for videos I've already seen.

I do the same, and I agree, they seem to work.

What pisses me off, though, is that if I get a video recommended, I can ignore it for days, sometimes over a week, and it stays in the recommendations unless I "Not Interested" it.

After I've chosen...lots of other videos, maybe it's time to stop recommending that one. Often it's a video I've already seen, and enjoyed. I hate doing "not interested" to those.

I also hate doing the work of it all. I would blame the algo or whatever, but I actually think the algo is working exactly how Google wants it to.

> If you were to actually buy the land to fit this tiny home, you'll likely end up with a bill north of $700k-1M+ depending on your location.

The house is ridiculously priced, but you're way off about land.

Let's be honest, this doesn't need much land. But you can still easily buy land for $2,000/acre and less. I paid 60k for 40 acres, and that's if I value the EIGHT buildings at $0 (about 6 years ago).

Interestingly, some locals have sold property recently at exorbitant rates by marketing in NYC and similar markets. I think people in the city just have no idea.

There's a whole country out here.

> So I turned to the tree to see how easy it would be able to find the answer

Python3 -> Classes -> list

I agree it's not easy enough to use the search for this particular case (it's actually very difficult to find the list "add" -- list.append). I'm going to stick it out with zeal, though, and see if I get better at finding what I want.

Some similar searches in other languages gave back what I wanted, so maybe it's got to do with how the python docs were imported or something.

The software that my county uses is very poor for just seeing who got arrested. The only view is a "live roster" at the county jail, where they process all arrests. Some people are released very quickly.

I have it republishing on a very basic site with an easier way to view the arrests.

The software I'm scraping is called "Justice Solutions" (findtheinmate.com) and it looks like it was built without any knowledge of design OR usability.

I also have inmate scrapers running (and republishing the data on a better website). Mine apply to any county using a specific software.

They're not cleaned up and ready for release, but I could do that if it's useful to the project.

At least a few more counties in my state use the same software.

Oh my God, my uncle has been doing this to me and I only just realized it because of your comment!

At least it's useful stuff, though.

Sure. We used to have one that reported any error on any web app we had deployed.

You could use other types of reporting, of course, but that worked for us.

Any important information could be reported by the bot instead of wherever you normally find it.

It's a matter of what you build it to do.

It's likely your idea of what Christianity should be, and that of the people in the middle ages, are wildly different.

Particularly with regard to punishment and value of human life.

> 1. We shouldn't have CEOs, in which case most businesses today wouldn't exist.

I was just responding to this. Sounds like you agree we'd have "most" of the 30M businesses left.

Yes. AND the site is down.

Build a tool you'd like to have for work.

DIY something in the house to make it exactly what you want. Maybe your desk?

Put in a garden and sew a fall crop.

Get a slingshot and shoot it in the house. (Can actually prove useful to be skilled at this!)

I think it's the best strategy, but it's not hard to imagine another one. If CEOs were outlawed tomorrow, we would still have large companies. They would adapt with a new structure.
