This "research" has a glaring statistical error, principally that the researchers assumed that UAV locations are either uniformly distributed or follow the same distributions as birds. The problem, especially for small aircraft,

My bad.. I was just basing my comment off the readme. In general, I love what you guys are doing and my team is looking closely at Rust and Leaf.

Good point, this is where Rust's flexible enums are an advantage relative to C-style. If you'll forgive the Haskell syntax, you can have something like: data StatusCoode = Ok200 | Missing404 | Error500

Creating USDS/18F may be one of the most under appreciated, impactful changes of the Obama administration in the years and decades to come. Keep up the good work!

In which case, I absolutely agree. I've made the mistake of sharing my thoughts on these issues before. "But once you’ve won a culture war, free speech is a nuisance, and “eliminating” language becomes a necessity." - http

I don't think the comment meant that dispassionately and sensibly pointing out the double standard is problematic but that one runs the risk of facing a large, internet backlash for pointing out certain classes of double standards of w

She isn't harassing anyone. When a woman suggests something horribly violent "set yourself on fire" its cute and funny and empowering. Its only threatening and harassment if the source is male.
