Nitpick: the model is 100m x 100m roughly, so 10,000m^2 which is 0.01km^2

You have the same issue with LEB128 though, right?

Here's a representative example that my father in law (in his 70s) shared with me the other day: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=puRg-4ZvNYs

I made it back to the surface and started feeling that familiar dizziness / light headed sensation. Not sure how to explain. Similar to when you stand up too quickly sometimes and feel like you're going to pass out.

I started swimming towards shore, pulled myself on the rocks there and rested. It felt weirdly wonderful. Warm rocks heating up my body, and a great sensation of calm. Only after a few minutes did I understand the gravity of what had just happened.

I love freediving. But I almost blacked out and drowned once when I was doing it alone, hours hike away from anyone. Sure enough, I was using hyperventilation, which I didn't know back then was a big mistake.

When I think back about it, it's crazy how close I was to death. Learned my lesson that day. As she says in the article, don't do it alone.

The point is that if you have to say it's made with real cheese, the food is complete junk. Even though the cheese may technically be real.

I suspect it's this part:

"This ticket was priced in GBP, not INR. Because the journey originated in Manchester, the fare is denominated in the currency of the origin country: the United Kingdom."

So: the currency is the one for the country of origin.

I've been reading No Mud, No Lotus recently (https://www.parallax.org/product/no-mud-no-lotus/) by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and this is very much the same advice.

This book has brought me immense joy, I'd recommend it to anyone.

It's fascinating how much Buddhism has gotten "right".

From the post:

"Having been able to attend these events by hoarding airline miles and schmoozing certain cybersecurity vendors, Gal Nagli, Sam Curry, and I thought it would be fun to try and hack some of the different supporting websites for the Formula 1 events."

I know you're being facetious but I wanted to say, a friend of mine's kid recently got diagnosed with elevated lead levels in his blood, likely caused by eating contaminated dirt from their backyard. So... test before you try it, I guess?

As far as I know you only get a ticket if you're actually parked there when the sweeper comes by. There's a parking cop car following the sweeper and ticketing the cars. You're allowed to re-park in the street after the sweeper has done its job, even if it's still technically street sweeping time.

So if you've got a ticket, there almost certainly was a sweeper that came by at that time.

You could. The fix is easy. The problem was the painfully long debugging in order to find the root cause of the issue.

Not necessarily. Youtube makes extensive use of third-party CDNs. A lot of the videos aren't coming from their servers at all. I believe that's also why it's so hard for them to embed the ad directly in the video. They instead having to rely on splicing the ads client-side, which makes it possible to block.

Disclaimer: I work at Google but not at Youtube and have no idea how things work really. This is just based on some info I read online.

I'm a big fan of Everything (and recently donated to the developer). I tried this Google app and was pleased to see that it seems just as fast as Everything for local file search. Presumably they use the same underlying mechanism for searching files (something about hooking into the NTFS index). I might give it a shot.

(disclaimer: I work at Google, but nothing related to this app)

But one could have said the same thing of Whatsapp when they got acquired by Facebook, no? Just a messaging app, anyone can replicate.
