Break out the pocket book and pay Planet Labs to do it. You could do it with much less frequent visits than this probably the search area for it every 2 hours isn't very large and image recognition systems are pretty good. The big thre

Commercial operations like Planet Labs currently cover most of the Earth multiple times a day.

They wouldn't if you switched just Urban water use from natural sources to desalination. To do that you need to replace the ~5 million acre feet of water, ~6,167,400,000 m3, that goes into the Urban bucket which is all of the water use

Which to scale back up and complete the comparison to the state of the art in lab "batch reverse osmosis" systems I was originally talking about that's ~12.7 kWh/m3.

I bet you could do it with a big enough expense account with Planet Labs and the compute power to process the images these days. Track it forwards from the last public port of call or *INT leak like this strava data. 3.7m accuracy seems lik

If they have ships in the area sure but picking it out of the ocean if you don't already know where it is on satellite data is a lot harder. Until the last decade or so satellite tracking of ships visually was essentially the domain of

Correct it's massively energy intensive to filter the salt out the newest best ideas still use ~2 KWh/m3 of water and that's a lab system in perdue that batches the process instead of having it run continuously which is why c

Just summarizing the apps below it seems to mostly be banking/payment and government apps specifically outside the US that break under developer mode and sometimes even accessibility access. I wonder what makes them less trustful of An

by rtkwe 7mo ago
It is interesting that most of these are coming from apps outside the US including the fully developer mode lock outs. US companies seem more comfortable with the mode being enabled which explains why I've never really run into issues

Yep Kalshi is at best only shrinking the scale of things a farmer could bet on instead of getting proper old style crop insurance (either yield or revenue). It's just cloaking a weather slot machine in "we're helping farmers&

If they said that and you believed it kinda. There are already markets and insurance schemes to allow farmers to do that though through crop insurance, it's a very old and even government subsidized to keep the prices down in many coun

Doesn't need to be, the default license for SCP Wiki is Creative Commons BY-SA so you only have to attribute the source and distribute under the same license. I don't see that mentioned so it might technically violate the license

It was probably to deal with the transposition [0] out of the SCP universe into a new one. SCP is vaguely 'set' in the US because that's how a majority of the contributors naturally write and spell things, which sets the voic

At least with sports betting it's limited in scope. Polymarket applies the same warping influence to the whole of politics and daily life. That's the biggest problem and difference to me, yes it sucks if teams are throwing or play

Geostationary is easier to hit than a LEO constellation like Starlink. With an LEO target you need to switch at least every 2-4 minutes, Starlink ground stations can switch multiple times per minute but that's for obstacle avoidance in

Yup, Louisianna has the highest combined state and local sales tax rates on average of ~10% which is no where near the VAT standard which seems to be around 20% for most of Europe? https://taxfoundation.org/data/all&#x2

Taking the German price of 699 Eur and accounting for the extra VAT in Denmark (25%) vs Germany (19%) I get 853 USD which means you're basically in line with the price for Germany which I expect is close to the price for the rest of th

That's only a little more than the EU price of 699 Euro or approx $813. Part of that is VAT which is included the price (right?) instead of being added at checkout like the US. That would bring the USD price up to $713. IDK where the r

You can see an unofficial tracker [0] of the Starlink downlink network and see how outside of some rural areas your data is only moving a few tens of miles away most of the time before it's sent down to a ground system. Their sats have

Truly baffling, you're voluntarily disabling a critical piece of how websites expect to function and then act shocked when web sites don't cater to the >>0.0001% of users who decline to allow their site to work.
