In which municipality? In most cities and states in the US, it is illegal to obstruct a roadway. Taxis may get some carve-outs for loading and unloading disabled people, but usually, even taxis are supposed to pull over before stopping for a passenger.

It's one of the more abusive uses of click-through agreements - in order to get paid, you have to login and setup your payroll information, and in order to login, you have to click through and agree to these terms, and there is no way to opt out during or after the process.

One fly food was 8% glucose (.308 kcal/g) and the other was 8% glucose + 20% coconut oil (.308 kcal/g + .7136 kcal/g = 1.0216 kcal/g) leaving the high-fat arm with 332% of the caloric density of the standard fly food diet. The discrepancy clouds how much of the observed effect is due to the coconut oil, and how much is due to the difference in caloric density.

I looked into how well fruit flies self-regulate caloric consumption, but all that I could find was related to carbohydrates and protein. It would seem that fruit flies don't typically eat much in the way of fats, presenting another confounder in the results.

Using Florida as an example, if your contract was signed in Florida, your former employer is in Florida, and your case is tried in Florida, the courts aren’t going to pay any regard to California law, and you can be found liable for breach of contract and damages. Correct me if I’m wrong.

For people who would like to get their DNA sequenced but are actually concerned about privacy, are there any better options?

You’re not going to get per-request billing, but shared hosting is typically as cheap as you’re going to get for “always-on” web hosting.

Uh, when was GPT-4o made open source?

My experience with them is that although I wouldn't trust these to diagnose a medical condition, the trends are correct and correlate to cuff readings - they're not just random number generators.

I just wish there were a way to export the data from the H Band app. Apparently, the data is stored in SQLite files.

Those cars come with “run flat” tires, which supposedly allow you to drive a few miles without damaging the wheel when the tire is flat. After which, instead of patching the tire, it must be discarded. Quite the advancement.

That’s more than what I paid for university.

“Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks”

So you as a taxpayer will not have to fund this bailout, unless you’re the kind of taxpayer with a bank account, in which case you’re going to be paying for it.

Yes, TaskGroups are a recent addition. If you can't use Python 3.11 for whatever reason, there is also the clearly written code sample at the bottom of the create_task documentation, which the author did not bother to mention. Probably didn't make it that far.
