A little flask app to write and validate haikus. It's definitely not perfect and makes some mistakes. It uses the syllables python library to estimate how many syllables are in each word.
You can check the override list at https://haikuvalidator.com/overrides and if you have any suggestions feel free to let me know any words that are broken.
This is my first time making a web app. Hoping that someone finds it fun / useful.
How many times is Ticketmaster going to be slapped on the wrist before something is actually done? They are clearly corrupt and colluding with scalpers and every 4 years or so the FTC says "hey now don't do that" and Ticketmaster goes back to their old schtick. It's immensely frustrating because they are also a monopoly and no one can feasibly compete with them because they also control the event venues. I guess this is end-stage capitalism though..
This is one of the most surface-level understandings of national economics that I have seen. Sure, all of that would be great, if not for two things a) these tariffs are not targeted and b) your country could produce everything that it is tariffing. What is the plan for cocoa beans? bananas? aluminum and steel?
These thinly veiled pro-trump people are much too common the internet and I'm getting tired of it.
They sure do, but not enough to be self sustaining, and tariffs aren't going to magically produce more aluminum and steel. https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R47294. Canadian aluminum is critical to the US supply.
Bananas may not matter (to you), but coffee certainly will.
Thanks for this comment. Duty? Customs? On a 10 dollar part? Especially for agricultural purposes - this guy is a little off his rocker. It seems like he tried to buy a part, found out shipping was expensive and the seller wanted to use a broker (probably $20), neither of which have anything to do with regulations.
There are options to paying the custom broker, but none of them are really great.
He is allowed to do the custom clearance himself instead of using the shipper's broker. He just needs to get the paperwork and take them physically into his local CBSA office, then get the CBSA paperwork back to the shipping company.
He could also have the item sent to a mailbox in the US and then pick it up from there.
Of course, the person has a business to run, so it probably would make more sense to just pay the broker ($20 + percentage of the Tax for fronting the money) to do rather than to spend an hour on handling paperwork and lining up at the office on one item or drive to the US and back.
I have to agree - the amount of self-importance in this is hilarious. I would really like someone to be able to point to something definitive that Sam has actually built. In my view, he was a classic techbro who built one MVP and immediately went on an Regulation World Tour to secure his market cap. It seemed pretty transparent, but I guess people must like that?
