Sort of. There's just no full Sunlight. On the Moon it's a Solar eclipse, and not only do you get the corona you also get the Earth's atmosphere making a sunset circle. It must be quite a show. Instead of a crisp diamond ring, you get a sunset burst at the beginning and end. Imagine being one of the first residents of a permanent Lunar base to witness this event.
The utility of chronological vs. their algorithm was very obvious when it came to wildfire coverage. In what world is a story from day 1 of an ongoing wildfire more relevant than anything from today when we're on day 4? Apparently, in the world of their algorithm.
I can almost guarantee that their "low income" definition will have a hard cut-off. This will just make the hurdle of transitioning from welfare to work that much harder to jump. Anybody above the low income bar will be regressively taxed. California's government really needs to turn in it's progressive card. They've totally forgotten what that word originally meant.
TFA says it got acquired by Burroughs though, so not a total failure. That's a common trajectory for a lot of start-ups and bigger companies also. In fact, Burroughs itself was acquired a few years later. I don't see anything unusual about it, just the usual competition and consolidation.
Homes in Paradise were "often shaded from the Sun"--by dry pines. I wonder what kinds of unintended consequences will be wrought by this, aside from the obvious ones of placing more restraints on development when there's a housing supply shortage. You see, building on the north side of a hill surrounded by grass and oaks in a virtually indefensible space is going to look like an attractive option... sigh.
The government office that does this, the assessor, doesn't come out and look at your property. I could keep my house in top condition, or let it rot. The assessed value wouldn't be any different unless I did something that got their attention, like build a permitted addition or demolish it. Doing things that require a permit without actually getting one can lead you down a whole different rabbit hole. The appraiser may or may not catch the fact that the county thinks you have a two bedroom when you actually have a 3rd one that was build without permits or something. Really, all the professionals involved should be able to catch that at some point, but I digress...
I think you get it. It's not about "left vs. right", it's about "top-down vs. grass roots". The leadership ignored the masses until it got so bad that people were willing to latch on to anything that wasn't just more of the same.
One way to look at it is that we sold our manufacturing base to foreigners, in exchange for cheaper goods and better corporate profits. The hollowed out, decaying core of the "rust belt", ravaged by heroin addicts is the price paid for affordable cars and a rising stock market.
It stands to reason that if we attempt to "buy back" the old lifestyle, or buy a new lifestyle based on a greater self-sufficiency that there will be a cost. That cost will be born by those who benefited from the prior sale. Goods will be more expensive, corporate profits will be weaker. Wall Street will fall.
OTOH, people might have something to do again. We might even find a way to bring back 30 years jobs. Not for this generation though. This generation is screwed. We spent that last 40 years selling out to dictators. The buy back is going to hurt. Your grandchildren might appreciate it, if we manage to pull it off..
As far as economic orthodoxy is concerned, screw it. I've been saying for decades now that "comparative advantage doesn't scale". I started to realize econ was bunk when the "right" answer on a test was "loan money to a foreigner". I was being taught this dreck at UVa--Mr. Jefferson's University, you know that revolutionary dude who probably didn't want us depending on foreigners to fix our problems?
I'm not a great fan of Trump, but I get why he's there. His administration is the chickens coming home to roost. There is no refined, academic proponent of populist ideas, or that addresses the real needs of workers, because they are ruthlessly excluded from academia. Thus, we could not have the needs of the masses addressed properly by anybody other than a boor.
Elites, gaze upon your creation and marvel: you put Trump in office.
Only some things have that font. Very specific things. Almost all of those signs are for Asian things. There was one Mexican place I saw. All the rest looked Asian. Traditional Asian script is painted with a brush. It looks brushed, therefore it looks Asian. Mystery solved.
This should be no surprise. Most people don't
huff enough lavender to get messed up; but I know
a couple who did. They were processing vast amounts
of it to make soap and other products. They claim that
without proper ventilation it sort of made them "too
relaxed" to the point of being "out of it" or something.
It seemed credible to me, and this backs it up.
No, BTC's value proposition is in the hard-limited number of coins and in the ability to verify ownership via the blockchain. Also, like any other currency its value is in the collective actions of those who support it.
Evernote has their logo at the top of an office building in Redwood City. It's been there for a few years. I've never used it. I googled what it is one time because I was curious about the logo. It's something that could be coded up in free time by a few smart high school students. So many things in the "app" world are like that, and yet they build huge companies based on it, with logos at the tops of office buildings. That's what always boggles me. It never makes sense; but the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent so you can't short it either. Sooner or later, houses of cards come crashing down.

One of the more dramatic examples of Intel doing this was with the old Celeron 300 MHz. Apparently they were 450 MHz chips that may or may not have passed QC. They could be over-clocked with a mother board setting. I had one, and the over-clocked PC worked great except that occasionally the graphics card or something couldn't keep up, resulting in bit barf. You could clear it by refreshing the screen. It was cool to watch big programs compile noticeably faster. In the end, I decided to roll it back and run at 300 though, to extend the life of the hardware.
Perhaps the Von Neumann architecture is how it is because it's modeled somewhat after how we think--external storage (books, paper, and now computers) I/O (eyes, ears, mouth) and memory are distinct systems. So when a schizophrenic sets about the task of creating a system, maybe he models it after his own brain or world view. Maybe part of being "crazy" is that parts of the brain access eachother in unconventional ways. Sometimes it's for the better (creative) but often for the worse (paranoid, hallucinating, delusional).
Now I'm wondering how an alien race might build a computer. Maybe there's a universality to intelligence that pushes them towards Von Neumann. Maybe not.
In the physical world, witness the arguments about how the metric system is "so much better", but isn't decimal really just a bias that goes all the way back to us counting on our fingers? I hope I live to see the day that octal aliens arrive.
This reminds me of a comment I made a long time ago here.. My tongue was firmly in my cheek of course; but there's also a "funny because it's true" angle. It really is fascinating. A man with a pathological mind taking something to its pathological conclusion?

Most of those videos are posted by parents in the first year of life. Your numbers actually seem low.

Pressed for a specific date, Bezos replied "one of these days".

Obviously Python developers have a tremendous guilt complex over their decision to make leading White space important. They must atone.

They were offered a little money to fix this but refused because they were under the Spell of Penny Tray Shun.
