A data center is a near-zero contribution to ocean warming.

This is basically how an optical CMM (OMM) works. There are tricks to determining and calibrating out alignment issues and determining snapshot viability, and you're touching on both of them. Very well done!

"courts have long given voucher programs a pass, ruling that they don’t violate the constitutionally mandated separation of church and state because a publicly funded voucher technically passes through the conduit of a parent on the way to a religious school."

Oh wow, I didn't realize all it took to break the law was a middleman. This is why intent of law matters, not just the letter of it.

I'm regularly involved in the car community, and this is far more common than is often thought. I've met dozens of people who have illegally modified their diesels, and that's in California. There's plenty more for the EPA to crack down on.

"What if no one likes your idea? If an overwhelming amount of feedback you receive is negative, perhaps rethink the idea."

Truly groundbreaking advice

Always interesting how when commodities increase in price, it's a price increase, but when labor increases in price, it's a shortage.

This is most fun if you're not allowed to say the target phrase. Otherwise, I could just say "Is numbnuts a word?" and of course the language model will say numbnuts in the reply.

Can we roll it out to Google Home as well? The idea of having a home voice assistant is great but in practice it falls short in so many ways.

"Hey Google, please turn the tv on for the championship game when I get home tonight" is a very simple request for a human, but Google Home will never understand what I want.

"If you read past accounts of how Wayne drives a car you hear about the usual tactics, like being super-light on the throttle, keeping the vehicle’s speed down, and trying to time his arrival at stop lights so they’re green."

I'd like to think this is what Prius drivers are doing in front of me instead of assuming they're just completely insane.

You might be surprised at the number of vehicles over $100k. Performance and luxury trucks bump into that category. Genesis and Land Rover have vehicles easily in that range. Just go price out an Escalade or Navigator and it becomes expensive quickly. Long ago was the era of only ferraris and lambos being >100k.

Question: would this have been a devastating tsunami if it weren't confined inside a remote fjord?

"In June, Cox Automotive noted that the Cybertruck was the best-selling vehicle in the United States priced over $100,000."

That's very surprising. Almost more so than the headline.

Oh wow, I'm really glad your side project has given people so much value over these years! Deep inside, I feel like stuff like this is what the Internet was really for.

What a beautiful state ravaged by the growing trend of anti-collectivism.
