Cloudflare would be more like a leaf covering the image because you don’t need it to operate the stack, you need it to work in order to be able to see what it’s doing.

Many countries did austerity in 2010 and yet some came out better off while UK in particular did not.

In Lithuania, healthcare e-services went down after the basement where the servers were kept got flooded in a rainstorm. They went down for a couple of weeks.

My brother in Marx, Russian-Polish conflicts date back to 981 and any animosity people in the region feel towards each other goes at least as far as that.

Plenty of people thought that I will be a scientist but I did one standard deviation calculation for a test and noped out of the idea.

I think it’s the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures that day across the 30 year range.

Green line is the average temperature for that day this year.

Red line is the average temperature for that day for 30 years, 1991-2020.

In the chart, the red areas are days hotter than average and blue areas lower than average.

There is also daily precipitation as bar charts on the bottom. It’s a shame those don’t have daily averages for 30 years though.

Can’t wait to send 400000 tons of pig iron by a plane. You are missing the cargo trains (that mostly use the same tracks and are rail company’s bread and butter) in your calculations.

This is the reasoning behind “the broken window policing”: if you do a small crime and get caught, you are less likely to do a bigger crime.

Russian military has no charismatic and competent leaders at the top just for this reason. That’s why they keep failing in Ukraine, but also why there’s nobody to pull off a Prigozhin.

Fiber is like rail transport for the internet: expensive, high throughput infrastructure along a defined path. But when it’s already there, it’s very hard to beat.

Oh right, Musk stopped the discussion of proposed rail expansion with his Boring tunnels and Hyperloop, now he is doing the same thing to the internet.

Yes, but if they convict you, the copyright holders can use your case as a precedent for suing the AI companies. At least that’s the way I understand it, I don’t live in a country with precedent law.

I find it kinda mesmerizing, ngl.

I want people to make their own theories.

I remember that time Facebook had a random text in a page saying “This text should never be visible in production” or something like that.

When Covid happened most of them collectively shook their heads and said “Nah, that’s fake.”

I remember that one getting tested in my hometown.

I had that during my second year of master’s. I barely understood it and the rest of the class couldn’t understand it at all. I wrote my exam and forgot 99% of it a week later.

Not all batteries are easy to remove nowadays. Also, power management might have gotten better and the battery circuit mostly disconnects when not in use.
