Over 200,000 homes were damaged or destroyed in Katrina:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction_of_New_Orleans

Not sure how that is a "tiny fraction" of homes. $125 billion in damage (2005).


Moving the goalposts from destroyed to damaged gives different results.

The issue is most to the city only sustained water damage, a solid chunk of the city is above the water level and was absolutely fine. Moving outside the city most homes in Louisiana, Texas, Alabama etc don’t need to worry about flooding.


I had not seen this claim before, but upon checking it out it appears to be true:

I'm guessing that is what they are talking about.


us-east-2 seeing tons of S3 errors.


Not sure what they use but I've used Speedtest CLI:

works good.


Yep!

  speedtest -f json -I eth0
I also test the WISP connection on eth1


Thanks for the tip!


Great, thanks!


Honestly based on the photos this looks like they are hoarders.


They do have at least a webshop; and judging by the look of it, it's pretty old. But maybe poor SEO? I have an affection for old phones, and have window shopped on the interwebs from time to time, but I don't recall seeing this shop before.

I picked up my vintage phones at antique shops and thrift stores though, because internet prices are too high. Unfortunately, I can't get my rotary phone to work with my ATAs, even the ones that are supposed to; it works on POTS, but local POTS runs $60/month. I'm just not that committed, also not willing to pay for a pulse to tone converter. My newer old phone has tone dialing, but only on jacks with proper polarity; I might be willing to buy one of the components they made to rectify (hah) the situation, that's missing in my phone even though the model label indicates its there.


How so? Other than some of their trailers their inventory seems well organized and relevant to the business. Piles of old cars is not an unusual thing in rural areas, especially for older people. Nothing there appears to be outright trash.


Do you have a link to one that shows A/C? I'm only seeing C/C (I'm A/C so curious). Thanks!

This seems to be the original paper. I don't find this paper particularly meaningful, but the effects they did observe showed A/C and C/C to be about the same, and both different than A/A.

This is based on a 5 hour after caffeine ingestion blood test in smokers. They found no differences in the non-smokers, but those were urine tests taken at variable times (whenever they peed), which seems sketchy to me.

Based on this study, subsequent studies (e.g. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16522833/) seem to group A/C and C/C together, and not look at them independently. C/C is rare enough that studies have trouble getting many individuals from that group.


I don't know how accurate this list is, but it sure seems like most of the high crime cities in the US are NOT in the west:

This article cites an LA Times article as justification that “New York is one of the most violent cities in America,” but that cited LA Times article states that NYC is safer than the next six most populous cities and that the situation is far worse in other cities - and therefore, by their own logic, NYC isn’t one of the most violent cities in America. I wouldn’t put too much stock in it.


I suspect the majority of mac owners still have intel based macs so they want to highlight the performance improvement to those users - since they may be most likely to upgrade?


Yeah this is what you do - "restart in offline mode". I have my kids do this and we can all play whenever.


Gitea works really well for this - just choose "new migration" and set the remote up as a mirror - super easy.
