Plus, it's a complete aerial surveillance network for wildnerness. What it doesn't prevent in fires it makes up for in policing and governance. Fire marshalls and fire codes have been used for warrantless searches on activists for decades because they have fewer restrictions than police. I once met an environmental investigator in government who was regularly brought in by regional police to do drone flyovers with FLIR/IR looking for grow ops and do paralell construction when they were more illegal as well.

Wildfire suppression is a super interesting use case for drones, and one that could scale to much larger UAVs, though the business case for them is plausibly closer to the more general enforcement case.

Companies have no shame. As long as the thing increases profit, they will use it.
I have never done bungee jumping, which many people describe as absolute joy. Therefore I haven't experienced the full spectrum of pleasure probably.

Some people who have gone through clinical death describe the experience as intensively joyous. Again, I am not doing that deliberately.

So what? Live and let live.
Compared to the US, the NL seems to have far less cops. The cops are mostly just walking around or driving around.. they never pull you over, you just get a ticket in the mail. So there’s police, doing police things. But they never get involved in your day-to-day life unless you’re doing something obviously illegal. Granted, you can do a lot of things here that is illegal in the US, like prostitution, drugs, sit in the park with some beer and wine, pee in public, etc. Things are way more civil than the US was when I last visited a year ago.
Not sure we'd need more roads. Nearly every road in my area could add a lane by simply eliminating street parking on one side.

(Pickup/dropoff might be annoying with no parking lane, but honestly, they use the bike lane for that more often than the parking lane.)
You should have a timer for how long the existing payment has been there.
Not sure how reliable it is - although I put up one of my more favorite pictures I've shot and it earned a 7.98 and was better than 97% of photos uploaded... Interesting stuff. Could you link to the AVA dataset?
I can't say if it's right or wrong, but in relation to your specific example, there are "adverse possession" laws that grant legal rights to the occupier of land in the US.[1]

I don't understand how they could conclude that their sleeping caps had any effect when they apparently went into the study with the belief that they work and decided not to have a placebo control group because it would be unethical.

As these patients were all ill, many undergoing olmesartan treatment with therapeutic intent, we decided that ethical considerations precluded the distribution of “placebo caps” without the silver threads.

And they were apparently distributed to those that requested them, likely those that already thought they would work:

Sleeping caps” were sewn and, upon informed request, distributed free of charge to members of our follow-up olmesartan cohort.

Anathem by Neal Stephenson has a great subplot about this. The information age has been a bit stunted because there's too much crap[1] on the internet. Companies sprung up selling filters that would block websites with low-quality or AI generated information. Eventually these companies realized they could drum up business by generating low quality[2] content themselves, especially if they could get it past their competitor's filters. The end result was that the internet became a convoluted morass of bullshit and lies, difficult for non-experts to extract useful knowledge

[1]: Or maybe CRAAP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRAAP_test

[2]: They quickly realized the trick is make high quality low quality content. 100 pages of gibberish is way less effective than a convincing essay that happens to include a few key falsehoods.

I've been playing The Witness recently. I've enjoyed it a lot, and had a lot of "aha moments", but I wouldn't say I altogether understand the game. It has a very elusive nature. I'm working through (what I believe to be) the "ending" at the moment, but there is still a lot of the pre-ending stuff that I haven't figured out yet.

At first glance The Witness is a puzzle game, made annoying by the fact that you have to walk everywhere instead of clicking "Next Puzzle". But then you occasionally see things in the environment that are just really pleasing. An example that springs to mind is a bunch of broken metal in a window[0], and some branches on a tree, that line up with the sun (which doesn't move) to cast a shadow of a woman sitting underneath a tree[1].

And there's loads of this stuff. And noticing it doesn't contribute anything at all to the apparent objective of the game (except where it does!), but it adds so much that you just wouldn't get if it were the simple puzzle game that it initially appears to be.

I really like this game.

> First, these altimeters are not made by Boeing.

Who cares? The comment you are responding to says "they did shoddy work on the altimeters." That doesn't mean that Boeing built the altimeters.

They specced them, procured, inspected, installed and sold it with the whole airplane. If the pilots' chair collapses, that's shoddy work on part of Boeing, and nobody would talk about how they are just buying the chairs from someone. Same with the radio altimeters.

> Third, these radars have been in operation for decades.

Ok? Sometimes corners cut bite you in the backside only after decades.

There is one question which matters: Are the 5G towers transmitting on frequencies assigned to the use of radio altimeters or not? If they are they must stop. If the radio altimeters degrade or might degrade because of transmission outside of their assigned range and guard then they are faulty.
The numbers in the survey are linked are where people want to live, not where people currently live. More urban residents want to move to the suburbs/rural areas than vice-versa.

60% of Americans prefer living a a community with larger houses and having to drive miles to get to school, stores, and restaurants versus having smaller houses and businesses within walking distance. Urban residents are divided almost evenly and 49% of them would prefer to drive miles to get to businesses if it meant that they could live in a large house. [1] I suspect the discrepancy with the previous survey is because both scenarios had the participants living in houses and if they were asked to pick a walkable apartment community or the car-dependent house community the number of people who would pick the denser community would be lower. The data is clear, more people prefer the suburban and rural car dependent lifestyles than the walkable urban lifestyle. Making arguments that people just don't know what they want is incredibly condescending and controlling.

There is a third party involved here. As an advertiser I do not want my ads shown for someone that don't want to see them, that is wasted money.

well, that's a weird thing to put in a white paper
It looks like a practical use-case for drones even if the dropping of suppressive poke-balls probably needs improvement.

Rough numbers:
3 million acres of forest in USA, one drone could ultimately cover 500 sq km (13 km radius)
6000ish drones call it 10k for redundancy

Even at 10k per drone including base station that’s roughly $100M in hardware to cover the entirety of US forestland.

PG&E is your first customer.

edit: Even if I’m low by an order of magnitude on costs, PG&E is your first customer:

Indeed he is, from comp.lang.c++!
It's a nice effort, but not terribly practical. They can't have the drones performing surveillance over wild lands for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that a crashed drone could start a fire. They also make noise that can disturb wildlife and humans enjoying the wilderness.

Plus, they're a ready made platform for dropping stuff from the drone, so immediate military and terrorist uses.
"Enterprise code" can be written in any language. My employer invented an entire web framework in golang and we routinely see stack traces up to 80 lines or more even. A lot of the need to write such a framework was from golang's shortcomings.
You can see it in action here: https://data.releng.team/dev/-/ddd/dashboard/project-metrics...

A lot of inspiration was taken from https://github.com/rclement/datasette-dashboards. I started out by trying to extend that project. I ended up abandoning that idea and started fresh once I realized how much my requirements diverged from the capabilities and direction of rclement's plugin.

Thanks for making such a remarkably extensible architecture and especially for the great documentation. It's been a real pleasure working with datasette and I look forward to doing some more work on datasette plugins in the future.
There is no way to build a perfect filter. 5G equipment will emit outside of its assigned spectrum and radar altimeters will receive signals from outside their spectrum. The next important variables are the power of the transmitters and the effectiveness of the receiver's filters (and the sensitivity of the receiver). Radar altimeters have been doing their thing for decades because the previous uses of that band had much lower power.

Your analogy is a great demonstration why reasoning-by-analogy fails, by the way.
Ok apple does call history syncing via iCloud. That doesn’t hold up your claim at all. For your claim to be valid Apple would need to upload the data even if your had iCloud disabled, and would then need to process the data for some purpose unrelated to a product feature you’re using.

None of your links indicate that’s happening.
It's probably not good to nitpick but with the land analogy you have zoning (the lack of zoning that led to the West Texas disaster comes to mind) and animals (bees etc) tend to cross land boundaries so it's not quite that clear cut.

It all does sound a bit silly though. I will say I wish the FCC was as happy handing spectrum/power to unlicensed users as it is to what are nearly exclusively Qualcomm customers.
We do, but it's easy for whimsy to go too far. Googly eyes on a poster is cute. Graffiti everywhere isn't.

When one person does it, it's a clever surprise. When many people do it, it quickly becomes tedious and repetitious. It's interesting only when it's done judiciously. It's even worse when it escalates, such as with vandalism, or cruelty, or shock. And one person's "whimsy" can easily become "what, can't you take a joke?"

So I can see why an HR department would want to say, "Yes, the was very cute, the first time. Please don't turn it into a problem".
> Just using a GPG key to represent your identity or something along those lines would be a much better way to handle it.

This is something the web3 world is moving towards a user-friendly solution for[1]. A web3 wallet (something like metamask which is a browser extension) actually holds a public/private key pair. Websites can authenticate by asking the user to "connect their wallet"[2] which actually means signing a message which the site can validate. To do this, the browser extension shows a popup showing the relevant bits of the request with "Approve" and "Reject" buttons. Once signed you are able to use the facilities of whatever website even though you don't have any sort of account. If at a later stage I want to revoke my approval I can just do that in my wallet - I don't even need to go to the site and there is of course no account to delete there. You can easily maintain multiple distinct personas because a wallet can contain multiple "accounts".[3]

Something similar might presumably work for the fediverse. No accounts just an identity service/API that allows sites to get your public key and ask you to verify things by signing with the private key.

[1] I say moving towards because there are plenty of rough edges, but the basic idea is pretty good and the UX is already streets ahead of the normal GPG verification/signing type workflows

[2] There is an API called "walletConnect" and as long as wallets and sites implement that, they are able to interoperate fairly seamlessly (in theory). In practise it doesn't always work that great. https://docs.walletconnect.com/

[3] These are actually an address and a keypair. The address is used to perform transactions on the blockchain so wouldn't be relevant to the fediverse I wouldn't think.

Just so we are clear, the customer pays our salaries.

Client-issued UUIDs seem fine in theory but then start to impose haunting dread when you consider the total space of all possible client devices, operating systems and browsers. At least some of those scenarios are going to have shitty rng implementation or use the wrong type of UUID. At least one of those problematic scenarios will have multiple concurrent users.

What do you reach for when your client-controlled supposedly un-collideable identities begin colliding? Why even take the chance?

I hadn't considered conversion, but it looks like under some statutes this still requires knowledge and/or intent. [1] It also appears that the 'unclean hands' doctrine could be invoked as a defense, and a thief who seeks return of his laptop that he stashed in your car that he stole would most certainly have unclean hands!

There is one wrinkle in the intent issue, which is that you may not have had intent to take the item when you drove off, but if you later discover it and didn't give it back, you might form the requisite intent at that time. All in all, this sounds like a good law school exam question!

Ohhh is this why in American cities you see so many free standing restaurants with parking all around them? I always find them a bit weird, we don't have many like that here in Melbourne.

Usual pattern here if driving to restaurant is spending a long time looking for a park then a long walk. It's good to get the exercise afterwards
The reviews are positive.

I quickly looked at the author's personality and think it's a guy with the heart in a good place ( he had a role against Monsanto!), but a disturbed view of the world.

I then looked at Faucci's response and he mentioned something similar as my first thoughts.

I then looked at some of the examples and they are just wack and couldn't find proof of it.

> Fauci repeatedly violated federal laws to allow his Pharma partners to use impoverished and dark-skinned children as lab rats in deadly experiments with toxic AIDS and cancer chemotherapies.

It's a heated conspiracy book of a smart person of a well known family with a somewhat turbulent personal life, who benefits from funding money against anti-vaccine measures through his foundation.

The difference is, that he's also trying to do good for the environment, which sounds kinda contradicting and hard to grasp for me. I've never seen that combination before.
Sidewalks went out of fashion because developers thought they took away property sq footage. So a 5000sqft SFH lot became 4800 sqft. But then homeowners realized if kids don’t have sidewalks they’ll play in the streets.

If they could get away with it developers would drop sidewalks completely. It’s only because cities and towns started mandating it that they became fashionable again.
Satellite fire detection can find ignitions pretty darn quick -- much quicker than I would expect.

Also, some ignitions come from known sources (e.g. powerline downing), and monitoring and localization already exists in some cases (PG&E).

AI might mine cryptocurrencies on their own, and then buy keys from desperate humans, and post as if they were the owner of the keys.
I just find this strange, someone who liters the environment is clearly an ignorant person, but if scientists come together and are harmful it is ok because it was reviewed by a bio-ethics comity that did some cost benefit analysis and was like yea I guess this is alright otherwise we're out of a job.
Really interesting. I think it's very cool that it only cost $20M to develop a next generation board that had 10x the power of a consumer device at the time in an attempt to keep arcades relevant. It seemed to have worked well until dedicated 3D cards and the Internet became more consumer friendly, but that still gave them a good 15 years of lead time it seems.
and yet when benchmarking, exceptions are often faster. cross-posting a comment I just made on r/programming: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/sz86fl/comment...
What is the evidence that it's "in vogue"?

The only major events in the fediverse from the last several years to have any cultural impact is the rise of federated porn after the Tumblr exodus, and the rise in federated white nationalist forums after Trump got banned from Twitter. The fact that federation is becoming popular among pornographers and fascists is certainly not backing up the assertion that federation is "in vogue".
Also consider that many places in the US aren't conducive to pervasive, year-round cycling. I know there are some places in the world where people cycle in 85F and 30F weather alike, but I don't think most Americans (especially if they are visiting a city with a different climate than they're used to) would be interested in a freezing cold trip, or one where they have to take a shower when they arrive.
Well, you have asked for it and I wrote initially “speculations” without citing this. The idea that complex protein molecules may absorb 5-50 GHz radiation via proposed mechanism in the paper is at least plausible and the calculations from the paper does not look like totally unsound. So this should be investigated.
Satellites do that.

I think what you're missing is that assigning blame isn't especially helpful. those altimeters are already in the airplanes. those planes are serving an important purpose, and grounding them until they can be fitted with altimeters that only operate in their allowed spectrum would be more harmful than disallowing 5G equipment from operating in that spectrum.

a rancher allowing his cattle to graze outside of his allowed land doesn't result in a fiery crash that kills hundreds of people.

you're right, the planes are in the wrong and they should be fixed. but that's kind of not the point.
Interesting observation! Reading this , I felt this happened where I work. The extra reward for going beyond the job description , role expectations was reduced and people began to work with a 'coasting' mentality.

I recently bought a 100$ android waiting for my phone to be repaired and the size of modern apps on older hardware render them completely unusable. It's a shame that the amount of bloat creeping into everything in the name of "developer productivity". Do we have to wait until we hit some limitation in storage size before we decide that it's simply dog shit software?
Samsungs "notes" application is almost 100mb in order for me to keep track of a few kb of grocery lists and restaurant suggestions.
Storage needs don't affect pointer size though. To need bigger pointers, you must need an addressable space this big.

That said, how to you make your calculation about DNA's information density? Without counting water, I've arrived at 720g for one “mole of bits”, which is a bunch of orders of magnitude higher than your figure: 2 amino-acids (262g/mole) [1], 2 Deoxyribose (135g/mole each) and 2 Phosphate (94g/mole each).

[1]: and it's the same value be it A-T or G-C, that's interesting
