Meteors fall through the atmosphere, burning the whole time. If they are big enough they may leave a meteorite, and a crater.

The FAA document says "sensor-based" but every installation I have seen in the US uses radar.

Definitely GPS. Other methods have been used in the past--I remember reading operating reports from a wind farm nearly 20 years ago that slowly brought all its lights in line with each other over several months--but these days you can buy m

Radar, called Aircraft Detection Lighting Systems (ADLS). The requirements are summarized in the FAA Advisory Circular covering aviation marking and lighting.

It's so pilots see the entire wind farm as a single entity and can interpret what they see and understand the extent of the wind farm easily. There is a pretty good study you can read on this: https://www.airporttech.tc.faa.

GNSS (GPS) is the typical standard used.

When it's on purpose it's typically done through GPS driven clocks. This is how wind farms manage it, where all towers are required to blink together.

Incorrect. And hilarious that every fake marketing photo they use looks like your stereotypical movie prison visitor scene.

In my experience systemd is good, actually. But to each their own.

DNG is well supported by the typical raw libraries in my experience. My Ricoh records DNG natively, and I work with the results in rawtherapee and darktable. I am less sure about ffmpeg or imagemagick as I don't really automate raw pro

Jumping on the "everything will be AI" and "AI will change everything" and "AI will replace all your workers" bandwagon? Absolutely. And it's ruining everything.

I believe KDE did something similar. I don't mind this kind of thing, if its done well. We should support the tools we use if we can, particularly when they are truly open source.

No, they don't. No future timeline or cost prediction like this from Musk has ever been correct.

Why is this written as an advertisement? Also it's just another MVNO, big deal. "Disrupting telecom" by using T-mobile's network. Good one.

Wind is extremely reliable. And it is relatively predictable, particularly on a short time scale. What it is is intermittent, which is a very different thing.

That is the dumbest side profile I have ever seen. The camera bump and camera together are thicker than the rest of this thing. By its design it now demands a massive case or just won't ever sit even reasonably flat on a table. Ridicul

Zero people enjoy QR codes to get menus. If you own a restaurant just print the menu. If you have a rotating tap list or daily menu just get a laser printer and print on plain paper or send someone to a copy store to print them out. Your cu

Energy storage yes, electricity storage no. Very limited utility and questionable use of solar PV, which has about a 20% conversion efficiency of solar energy to electricity. Seems like a lot of extra steps to make heat.

Garmin is my typical recommendation for decent fitness watches with good battery life. The venue and vivoactive have bright high res screens with raise to wake or always on (with a big battery life hit). There are also things like the lily

This post/example/thing completely misses the point of Markdown. Yes it's clever in stringing together edge cases to try to claim it can identify specific parsers. But it's also pointless. Markdown is for writers. Markdo

I knew it was "Half 1" and "Half 2", but didn't know the rest. And now that the season bias is pointed out it seems obvious, but I never thought about it before.

"Sell used items with fake photos that don't accurately show the condition of the item." Is that the play here? It sure looks like it.

Commuting from the Springs to Denver every day, so 22-23 days a month, 60-70 miles one way... Is that worth $500? Quick math: $4/gallon, 35 mpg, 120 miles a day, so $14/day in gas, plus extra maintenance, and the 3 hours a day of
