If you've ever tried to hire a developer its pretty clear why they're paid so well. Very good ones are a huge boost to your business and hard to find.

This is a completely reasonable take. You don't have a right to live in a city that requires $50/hr to live comfortably. $21/hr is an amazing pay rate for what is essentially unskilled labor

A version of the gold standard with the dollar pegged to gold for international trade partners was reintroduced in 1945 post WWII and that's what's Nixon suspended. Just like a true gold standard, it put a check on how much dollars the government could print

Makes you pine for Bitcoin

Bitcoin takes just as long to settle and costs money per transaction. Also you can't reverse a fraudulent Bitcoin transaction.

Between the two ACH is clearly better.

In this case the eletric current creates the magentism though. Turn off power and poof, gravity is back

Only half of the setup are electro magnets. The other half are permanent. If the elevator falls the permanent magnets will induce the coils.

I'm guessing there is a mechanical failsafe in place, but I want to see test data proving it works before I get in one of these

The following command will allow you to pin (ie. seed/mirror) the site on your local IPFS node if you'd like to contribute to keeping the site up:

ipfs pin add QmT5NvUtoM5nWFfrQdVrFtvGfKFmG7AHE8P34isapyhCxX

I also recommend the `--progress` flag to get a bit of feedback.

This whole time I had no idea vim could autocomplete

This is classic "string-based" autocomplete. It completes based on strings it knows about but doesn't take into account the context. I've used for years but yesterday I realized that since Vim version 7 there's a more intelligent kind of autocomplete triggered by C-x C-o that is context-aware. It can complete object methods, HTML tag attribtes, CSS properties, etc. For info:

    :help new-omni-completion

I think it must take into account some level of context because I've noticed that it tends to give me exactly what I want the first time I press it.

To clarify, the emergency spillway is 30 ft below the top of the dam, not 30 ft high

The emergency spillway has never been needed before, so it's never had a chance to be tested by the looks of it

The rule for backups is that if you haven't successfully performed a complete restoration from backup, then you have no backup.

Same principle seems to apply to spillways.
