I doubt that wind turbines are the only power source that kills birds. Marginal bird deaths per unit of power production is the interesting statistic. This MIT post [1] links to a 2009 study [2] which provides that comparison: Wind&#x

It looks like the war in Ukraine should be beneficial to the United States. We send some surplus equipment and ramp up ammo production (jobs!) while weakening a prominent geopolitical adversary all without spilling American blood. Letting

Deploying the US army on US soil against US citizens would essentially be the end of the country. Whatever the outcome is would be a fundamentally different place. The military is an effective mechanism for pacifying the masses through em

UBI isn’t meant to fully fund consumption. It’s “basic” income such as rent or groceries. I will accept that consumption data doesn’t cover consumption and that the value is already priced in but I don’t accept that it has no value or tha

While it does appear that Facebook used pirated books for training in this case I’m not sure what to think about copyright as it applies to AI in general. People read books to learn and then use that knowledge with no contribution or even r

I’m not a rocket scientist but my assumption is that it would be internally guided and only take external inputs in the form of GPS and “land on the ship” or “don’t land on the ship”. Saturn V was manned and had a an internal guidance comp

An M3 is a BMW. If you are talking about Teslas the car is called a Model 3. You can’t shorten it to M3 because that’s already a car. This is why a Musk didn’t get to call it Model E like he wanted to. It sounds too much like a Ford.

Yeah this is a much better initial dev experience but you still have a schema, even if you ignore it. When your objects are inconsistently shaped something has to fix them. That something is going to take the shape of custom code that w

Very cool. This scratches several itches. What data is this displaying? Are you tailing syslog and writing it to a serial output? Do you have some status monitor that assigns meaning to the lights?
