Yes but US counties are part of the state government. Roughly speaking city governments are independent and the county is not “above” it (technically it’s not quite that simple). A classic edge-case where I live is that San Francisco is both a city and a county.

Many US suburbs choose to incorporate into their own “cities”, in order to avoid being administered by the county, or annexed by a nearby city, so that they may tax commerce (think local strip mall or big box) instead of just property.

Reminds me of a book I picked up about twenty years ago called "Testing Computer Software". I think it must have been written in the 80s, because instead of having a bug database, it talked about filling out a hardcopy form describing the issue and dropping it off at the programming department. I reckon you'd want to do it in duplicate on carbon paper, just so you can keep it in your own filing cabinet.

Would the artwork be in its own category: AI Artwork? Otherwise, I find it hard to support an AI-Artist who machine generated artwork based on "stealing" and "feeding" it 100.000s of creations from traditional/digital artists. The potential to profit off of it in one form or another is un-ethical. AFAIK, nobody have the rights to use their artwork without permission. Artists' artwork is not under a MIT license nor is it for sale as a stock image.

It's flawed to think an artist referencing others to produce their original is the same as an AI-Artist stealing artwork to generate an original. Youtube, Facebook, TikTok reciprocates value to its customers in exchange for selling their data to advertisers.

What value are YOU, the AI-Artist, providing the artist for their data?

Note: I'm ignorant in this area. My views are based on personal conversations with how influencer artists' feel about this popular trend.
tone generated by analog circuits is notoriously difficult to reproduce digitally. the conceptual behavior is often easy to model, but hardware deviates from theory in ways that are technically subtle but audibly apparent.

it's deterministic, but the parameters may be unknown and approximate values must often be discovered by iterative guess-and-check. researching and manually modeling an approximation can be incredibly tedious and still fall short. this is exactly the kind of application that machine learning excels at.

It's a combination of looser regs, older equipment, more ways to find loopholes (no use measuring emissions at 5500rpm if the motorbike revs to 12k when taking off from the lights), and a culture of modifying exhaust/intake systems
There's a lot of R&D and experimental work being done on Agrivoltiacs, but no clear winners. Raising the panels high enough for machinery adds a lot to costs. Reduced light means only small subset of crops can be grown.

For the most part it seems to do ok as is with grazing animals on land unviable for cropping but there's always tradeoffs.

Surprised how high concentrated solar is though. I would have thought it is more efficient than PV, but guess not
That's the biggest issue once you get to conversion.

Before conversion? The two biggest obstacles are:

* Commercial mortgages make it nearly impossible to change a property in this manner, so you're usually limited to buildings owned free and clear.

* In most cities, zoning/planning would push back on this; I suspect the most interesting part of the Texas story is how they routed around that.
A point made in the article, more than halfway down, is that modern intensive agriculture is less of a carbon sink than previous approaches.

There are people seeking to alter modern wheat | canola | et al to leave more carbon behind in larger root systems that remain within the soil and build deeper "peatier" soil bases.

This has the potential to knock a significant percentage from the global annual atmosperic carbon increase .. and every bit helps.

Hi there!! Founder here from https://microsaashq.com - I can understand what you mean with so many resources on internet that promise passive income and random ideas.

No, MicroSaaSHQ operates in a different way. They are not some random ideas. Each idea is researched around a given niche, comes with analysis around Technical chops, Marketing chops, Costs analysis to cater to 100 customers, keyword analysis for existing competitors etc.

The goal is to make it as easy as possible for someone to start picking ideas. I myself picked a few of these and able to make them profitable.

Another big asset is the community out these to discuss about each topic. We are also making this bigger and better with Founder interviews and Founder insights from 1000+ founders.

So, yeah its a massive ecosystem around Micro SaaS and some Non Micro SaaS stuff like Communities, Info Products, Marketplaces, Productized Services etc too.

Hope that helps.
> All you really need to do is look at how the South collects more federal aid than blue states,

It's extremely misleading to portray the dichotomy as between "the south" and "blue states". Note that red states outside of the south generally score very highly on metrics like income, educational outcomes, quality of life, quality of infrastructure, net tax receipts, etc.

The thing that makes southern states shitty is not the fact that they're red. You can tease out the Simpson's paradox here - go ahead and check average federal aid receipts in southern states after splitting the population by political affiliation. There's a very blue subpopulation in southern states that accounts for a vastly disproportionate fraction of federal spending.

> yet Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi routinely rank in the bottom ten for public education by states

Why do you qualify this with "yet"? This is perfectly expected if you understand the causal factors here.
> Isn't that a good argument that it should be run by the state government instead?

Sometimes, the state has other skewed motives and will spend the money received from federal governement for unintended causes.
This happened in Missouri as well.

I do think the example is interesting because it gives us a person who, at the time, seemed so very important -- and no longer was. It gives us that metaphor of false importance.

The productive outpute of a worker has increased. This doesn't mean that the worker has become more productive. This means that the combination of the worker and the tools they are using (ie capital) are more productive. If the only thing that has changed in this equation is that capital is purchasing better tools to make their workers output more than it isn't particularly surprising that workers aren't seeing those productivity gains in their wages.
I have been a solo entrepreneur for about 10 years. I guess I’m lucky since my wife is a stay at home mom and we’ve been able to keep each other company. Outside of that, I play a lot of sports, so I engage with people that way. I’m also friends with other entrepreneurs, and we sometimes go to one another’s apartments to work. My schedule is pretty flexible, outside of kid duties, so whenever opportunities crop up to do something new and interesting, I try to take advantage of it.

Or run it through eslint through jest (which is what we do):

Either way gets you parallelism from jest. Personally I like the approach of using jest for all the "match files and run actions" logic (tests, lint etc) and then eslint for all the kinds of linting and formatting.

We then configure VSCode to lint autofix on save and get a really nice experience.

As some one was mentioning in the comments, https://microsaashq.com is one the communities out there and I run this community. Its primarily an async community for conversations.

Also, note that its not just a simple community but its a massive ecosystem for Micro SaaS builders with niche reports (detailed reports for multiple ideas in a given niche along with a lot of analysis on technical chops, marketing chops, competitor analysis etc, costs analysis to implement an idea). We also recently launched Founder Insights series with Founder Interviews from 1000+ founders mapped to each niche.

And to answer your original question around communities - Our community has all conversations ranging from mental health to idea feedback to landing pages feedback to sharing wins/loses with some weekly streaks/monthly streaks.

Would be happy to answer any questions. I am a builder and I myself took a few of these models and implemented successfully.

> Not only is it thinkable, it could be done responsibly, today.

How?

You have a metro area of 1.3 million which is totally economically dependent on the river. A huge volume of freight moves through the delta daily. Billions of dollars of port infrastructure have been built in New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

Even disregarding the social cost -- which would be huge, given the high levels of poverty in New Orleans -- the pure economic cost would quickly rack into the tens or hundreds of billions. And tens of billions more would be required to make the new course navigable, rebuild port infrastructure, build new cities to serve the port, relocate workers from other parts of the country, etc.

And even then the river could just change its course again in two years or twenty or fifty.
It is not a novel idea. Even living next to a freeway (or other heavily traveled road) is linked with increases in cancer rates. Can't wait for the studies (not sunk by Monsanto) to show food grown next to highways is also linked. The science isn't widely accepted enough to have a legal impact, yet. Maybe this generation will start making more forward strides.

I do feel like the world has gotten a lot more focused on what science tells us about health as a separate pronged attack on average lifespan.
I leveraged the silence to focus on shipping, and went to friends (physically) when I felt lonely. If you are looking for other builders to hang out with, check out StartupSchool and IndieHackers.

sounds like the devs over at SAP need to unionize if they want to stop pushing user-unfriendly software
Games with peer to peer networking also need (or want) to establish connectivity between candidate matches. No sense matching two players that are behind NATs that won't be able to communicate.

It does probably make sense to wait a limited time for a better match though; better to wait a minute for a better match than to start right away and play many minutes of a terrible match. The wait time might vary based on the quality of the match... but you don't want to have someone stuck waiting if they keep getting matched, but the partner finds a better match.

I see FreeBSD was mentioned in a different comment, but I’ll cast a vote for NetBSD.

The kernel abstractions that allow for portability make the code quite easy to read. Back in the day, I was able to write a file system from scratch by just reading the code of other file systems. The build system is also pretty amazing (allowing you to cross build the whole OS for any hardware target from many other OSes) and not too hard to follow. The source tree is structured in a way that makes a lot of sense (IMHO better than FreeBSD).

I learned this when my company leased the floor of a big office building in Philly. You can do almost anything you want, except for with plumbing. Especially bathrooms. Despite having almost 150 desks there is a limit of 3 sinks, 6 stalls, 2 urinals, and 6 hand washing sinks. Full stop.
Laser cutters are pretty cheap nowadays. There are diode lasers that can be retrofitted onto 3D printers, as well as the Chinese K40 laser cutter that uses CO2 laser tubes. There are even DIY projects to make your own laser cutter using a CO2 tube, these can have a very large cutting area (eg. 8x4ft).

A word of warning about the K40, make sure that you know about proper laser safety. I believe that many of the machines available don't even have a proper door interlock that stops the laser if the door is open.
But why would you want the distraction on desktop?
Huh, interesting. In the ML and CS theory literature I’ve only ever seen “adversarial example” used to mean an input explicitly designed to produce a specific unexpected output, not just a worst-case output that isn’t what you want.

That looks cool, but $45/year is pricey! When I saw that amount I assumed it would be a one-time IAP, but it's the annual cost (discounted from $84/year that you'd pay if you subscribed monthly). Expensive surprises like this are why you shouldn't give your kid your icloud password!
