I think Google Earth has two options - you can keep the "camera" fixed and change the direction it's looking, or - you can rotate around a point on earth. I can't remember the details but this is accomplished using diffe

This really needs examples. There's a single one on the homepage but that's all I could find.

This is very interesting (and well written) but I'm trying to imagine a real-life use case for this. Are there any you can think of?

Are you saying QGiS has a similar feature? I'd love to know more.

Well, here's your previous quote: >Even with the knowledge that the doxxing is leading to stalkers endangering not just the wealthy target but also his young child, you would fund the doxxer? That’s pretty monstrous. If there is a k

Very, very cool. I know little about the subject matter but expected to see higher density around the equator. Unless I'm mistaken, geo-stationary satelites need to remain there(?)

Incredible that I'm only learning about hidutil today... thank you. To your knowledge, is there any cli way to assign key combinations to menu items as seen in system preferences -> keyboard shortcuts?

Making personal copies of articles you read is certainly covered by fair use. Just as photocopies and vcr recordings are. YouTube DL was alleged to be bypassing copyright protections which doesn’t apply to media without any protections like

Apple's hidden emails aren't free. They are tied to a credit card and a phone number. It seems to me they are less likely to be abused than gmail.

True, but Apple's hidden emails are tied to a real credit card (not free) and can't be generated in bulk (AFAIK). I'm not inclined to give any service the benefit of the doubt here until there is some evidence that Apple emai

Whistleblowers, by definition, blow the whistle on something that otherwise would not have been discovered. But, Caroline was complicit in the scam even as the whole thing was blowing up. Remember - she offered to buy Binance's FTT sta

Lots of events are already "priced in" before they happen. That is, investors have anticipated the upcoming event (eg Ethereum upgrade) and the stock/token price has already moved accordingly. https://obliviousin

One more cool feature I just remembered - it can intermittently send your location to a website (optionally password protected) so someone can track your progress. If you fall and get knocked out you won't be able to send an SOS - but
