Is iron a potential replacement for coal in steel and cement production?

Are you? If so, why?

The leaf has 150-226 miles of range depending on the battery option. Even the first generation nearly a decade ago had more than 60.

I'd define being 'financially secure', as being confident that you will not need to make changes to your lifestyle for financial reasons. It makes sense that that depends pretty heavily on how expensive your current lifestyle is.

Slate and ceramic tile roofs are good options - they are not combustable and will not melt. I'm not sure they would hold up to a 15 meter log landing on them, but they really do reduce the chance of your house burning.

Facebook got money for the ads bought based on Cambridge Analytica's use of their API.

The tricky part about this sounds like it would be specifying in the proxy service which parts of structured requests are responses are PII - how do you handle this?

I don’t have any recommendations for reading, but do enthusiastically recommend the korg volcas from the article - they are self contained, fun and intuitive to use, and very affordable. They sound good enough that you will continue to use them even if you have more expensive gear, and what you learn about synthesis transfers easily.

Be careful w/ these urls - I visited one and it appears my IP is now blocked from accessing yelp.com.

The statistic that stands out to me from this article is that 1 bitcoin transaction uses enough energy to power 5.58 us households for a day.

I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable about bitcoin can comment - is it likely that this will continue as the mining reward decreases? How expensive will transactions be after that happens? And if smaller rewards reduce total mining and power consumption, how vulnerable does the blockchain become to attack?

What i'm wondering is if transaction costs in the 'end state' of bitcoin can be competitive with centralized competitors like credit cards, paypal, etc. given this level of power consumption?

The learning curve is steep if you are not familiar w/ static typing, and its not unheard of to run into bugs in flow itself, but overall I have found it to be really helpful.

In my experience it pays off best in refactors - in projects w/ good flow types I have been able to make big changes to my code, fix flow errors, and then have tests pass on the first run.

It's also great when working on code that others wrote - the type annotations are about the same amount of boilerplate as something like jsdoc, but having them checked automatically in my editor saves a lot of context switching between files.

Carbon atoms from the gasoline each combine with two oxygen atoms from the air to produce a carbon dioxide molecule, meaning the bulk of the mass of the resulting co2 actually comes from the atmosphere.
