The Acme bankruptcy has hit Wile E. Coyote hard
Not too related, but I wonder how many sites/algorithms were written in a lazy way, making that "I'm not telling you where I am" circle centred perfectly around their address. So while it is designed to look like your address could be anywhere within the circle, I bet that with most of them you just have to put a pin into their exact geometric centre.
I bet you there's at least one that adds an offset to the user's address, but, like, a random one every time you load the page, so you could get their address by averaging. And at least one other one that adds a fixed random offset, but does so in the frontend.
Wow, that's somewhat better, I guess.

Aaaah, interesting, thanks! Notes taken as well: put a fuzzinator on your distance function, as well.
For $1000, I wonder if someone could rig together a very shitty way of making low quality anvils out of garbage like aluminum or very shitty steel/cast iron and pass it off as a "real anvil" that I found in the dump or something.
That would be a lot of work of course but in today's economy and job market, a huge amount of effort just to get $1000 isn't necessarily a waste of time especially if you can do it multiple times before they find out.
talking to blacksmithy friends - that's kinda what amazon / harbor freight are doing with their shitty anvils already.
You absolutely could but anyone who has ever used an anvil would know instantly. It would sound wrong.
not only that but an anvil made of aluminum would dent and deform with just the slightest blow from a steel hammer, it's really soft stuff. not too mention the weight difference or even a simple magnet test
I think they say $4 per pound of steel is reasonable so you could probably run a harbor freight scheme and clear them out.
