- cbhlShouldn't it be the other way around if the population is increasing? Every minute one is born = 1440 born/day, every minute and a sixteenth ~= 1335 dead/day for a net population increase of 105/day.
- The last time I played with NFTs it was about $50 USD just in processing fees to mint the token; not sure if that has changed since then. So it's not necessarily the case that the author is making a bunch of money off of this project; they might actually be just passing along costs.
- Assuming that the boxes are 13.25oz/18.25oz, looks like an updated recipe could be:
- 2 boxes cake mix
- 3 eggs (rounding up from ~2.9 eggs)
- 1/2 cup neutral oil (rounding up from ~0.48c)
YMMV
- Huh.

My impression is that all of the Yamanote line stations are above ground -- I'd have expected it to be possible to have "one button plays the right sound at each station" if you used a standard phone's GPS to figure out which station you were at.
- For what it is worth, M.2 NAS devices with 4-6 slots can be had for ~$210 USD / ~$290 CAD or less: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/mini-nases-marry-nvme...

- There _was_ an outlet for this during the era of Windows hegemony: the object and embed tags. You had your choice of ActiveX, Java, or Shockwave/Flash in the 90s to write applications that you could then embed in the web browser.
We stopped using these for a variety of reasons: they were difficult to make secure or cross-platform, GMail made building apps in JavaScript fashionable, and the iPhone (which explicitly would not support ActiveX/Java/Flash).
- FWIW, I was able to get the page to load. Here is the announcement in the Federal Register that the article links to:
- For context, early 2023 would put the earthquake in question just after the first big layoffs at Google (see their 2023Q2 Earnings Release). And this would have probably been considered "legacy google assistant" stuff, not "new-top-priority AI" stuff.
- Pastmaps might be what you're thinking of? They have an archive of the maps that the United States Geological Survey used to serve as their Historical Topographic Map Collection.
- Looks like it is pointing there now; old link was https://clickhouse.com/use-cases/observability for posterity
- To move clippy you want to drag the piece of paper on which clippy sits -- clicking clippy himself will hide and show the chat window.
- That doesn't stop people from trying -- according to Yahoo Finance, FXI (iShares China Large-Cap ETF) was one of the most-traded (by volume) ETFs yesterday.
- You should look closely at solar rate plans and interconnection fees in your area. If you're hoping to save money with solar, it's possible that you never recoup the initial investment because of the way the newer rate plans are structured (esp. for PG&E).
In the bay area, it might be cheaper to opt into 100% renewable rate plans from CleanPowerSF or Peninsula Clean Energy. (Silicon Valley Power is 100% renewable by default, IIRC.)

- If I recall correctly these pages are useful for teachers and students, and Jameco has relatively high-touch education sales (for example, their kitting program: https://www.jameco.com/Jameco/workshop/education-center/educ...).
I want to say that I remember seeing this page in high school in the late 00s, although the Internet Archive only seems to go back to 2012 for this exact URL.
- It's worth noting that the scale of the graph above it has a _logrithmic_ scale so I do think it is actually 6% to 70%.
That page is estimating fatalities of 10k to 100k people and economic losses of 10B to 100B USD.
(For context: Myanmar GDP is about 67B USD, according to Wolfram Alpha.)
