Another way to think about it is cars allow people who live further from the campus along routes not served by transit (either at all or in a timely and convenient manner) to still work for the company. A multi-story parking structure would also have reduced the amount of surface area dedicated to vehicles.


I admit I have no idea how it's actually working, but Apple does have experience keeping audio in sync: AirPods. I suspect video's a similar process.


Didn’t ForeFlight just come out with something similar recently? https://blog.foreflight.com/2024/05/07/smooth-skies/ They don’t mention ML specifically, but I imagine their install base is a tad larger and can therefore gather more real data. Is your solution different?


We have a partnership with Jeppesen, a Boeing company, for their Flight Deck Pro product. With this collaboration, users can access our data layer and predictions, and also report real-time turbulence within their app. While I'm not extensively familiar with the inner workings of ForeFlight, based on what I've heard, it relies on an external hardware solution, and its coverage and quality are not comparable


Note that Foreflight is a Boeing product. Therefore they could potentially have access to actual real-time aircraft data that this product would not.


Our solution is compatible with Airbus, Boeing, or any other aircraft. It's important to note that connecting to the aircraft systems can be more expensive and add maintenance and complexity costs for the airline.


In 2016, Julian Assange intentionally timed the release of Hillary Clinton's emails in an attempt to harm her presidential campaign, after she condemned the diplomatic cable releases during her tenure of Secretary of State.

Whether directly or otherwise, even if only the smallest amount, his vendetta led to her loss, and Trump's subsequent win. In 2016, the NYT wrote, "First, citing his 'personal perspective,' Mr. Assange accused Mrs. Clinton of having been among those pushing to indict him after WikiLeaks disseminated a quarter of a million diplomatic cables during her tenure as secretary of state. 'We do see her as a bit of a problem for freedom of the press more generally,' Mr. Assange said." (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/27/us/politics/assange-timed...)

Is there any evidence that he's shown a reconsideration for that position?


That is not the view of the European press. Even the Guardian, which obviously generally supports the Democrats, cites economic and a host of other reasons:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/09/hillary-clin...

I think what is also missing often is that Hilary Clinton is not a particularly likable character who has made any number of unwise statements:

So she would not sail through like charismatic Obama, but the Democrats kind of took her win for granted, which is always a mistake.


Only her campaign chief John Podesta's emails were ever actually leaked (after he fell for a trivial phishing attack)


I don't get the accusation at all.

If anyone here remembers 2016, the vast majority of people, especially in Europe, believed that Trump's chances of winning were miniscule and that he was a joke candidate who only ran to satisfy his ego, not because he even wanted to become president.

If Assange, like basically every other journalist, believed that sabotaging Clinton's campaign was essentially impossible, then it provided a great opportunity to showcase corruption and gain support for his cause.

Additionally sitting on documents and dropping them closely before elections is a very common tactic. In the same way you would have to condemn the top AfD candidate being confronted with allegations, which the leakers had known for months, very shortly before the EU election. Certainly not any coincidence.


I’m not saying Assange is fully responsible for the outcome of the 2016 election. But when you directly attack one party of a two party race, you’re actively giving the edge to the other. He clearly held a grudge against Clinton (https://wikileaks.org/hillary-war/) and continued to act upon it.

Now that this multi-decade saga is coming to an end, and we have the benefit of hindsight, I’m wondering if he still thinks that the blast radius of his actions were acceptable, or if perhaps he thinks he should have been more cautious before standing for his principles and acting upon that grudge. From what I know, I’d be remorseful and regret having done it, but I am not him.


> But when you directly attack one party of a two party race, you’re actively giving the edge to the other. He clearly held a grudge against Clinton (https://wikileaks.org/hillary-war/) and continued to act upon it.

So you also agree that the German press publishing damaging allegations directly before the European election against the top AfD candidate was also unacceptable?

This is just a very common tactic in journalism. Leaking stuff directly before the election is just normal and happens all the time.


Why is this important?


Isn't it obvious why it's important?

It hints at motivation behind the actions.

Motivation is perhaps not as important as defending the principle, but it's not nothing either.


I also think it’s a bad look when the purported mission of your organization is transparency. Assange comes across as playing favorites.


Yeah ... because the 2016 presidential election was completely one-sided.

(rolls eyes)

[from the UK by the way... wouldn't want to vote either Clinton or Trump. Despite this I can be reasonable towards them without the emotional attachment.]


Just undo that Brexit thing and we'll talk.


Brexit or no Brexit, I know my country is falling apart.

Does not change my original post. Stop being a "lefty" or "righty" then we'll talk.

| Clinton conspired with CNN anchor and democratic chairperson to rig screen time in favor of Trump, believing she could beat him easier than his conservative rivals.

That makes zero sense. Most people who watch CNN are center-left. She would have no influence over the republican primaries, considering most of that constituency watches Fox or gets their news from talk radio.

The email leak directly led to Comey's last minute announcement that Clinton was under investigation, which was only a week before the election and seriously hurt her campaign.


I combined one of those cheap breakouts with this variable voltage power supply - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0861LGM15 - and a 3d printed enclosure to make a benchtop power supply pretty affordably. Just use your laptop's power supply and now you can have any voltage and limited amperage.


I am waiting for an updated version that does PD 3.1, so it can go to 48V/5A.


That's 240W. You could charge an e-Bike via USB-C with that. Insane.


Yep. That's exactly what I am looking for. Use USB-PD to charge small electric vehicles in a standardised way ;) See https://jan.wildeboer.net/2024/06/Charging-SEVs-A-Modest-Pro... where I describe the concept and https://github.com/manuelbl/usb-pd-arduino/wiki where there is Open Source code (and schematics) to do PD sniffing and sink negotiation.


This one’s been on my wishlist for a bit:

Flying Blind: The 737 MAX Tragedy and the Fall of Boeing


Yeah - I've been waiting to see what this release would entail as I kinda want to build a SFF PC. But now that I know what's in it, and since they didn't come out with anything really special chipset-wise, I'll probably just see if I can get some current-get stuff at discounted prices during the usual summer sales.



No, that’s not the only way. “STOP” is a keyword that most carriers/providers will respect and handle automatically. “You have the wrong number” requires all that human involvement.


Anecdotally, I recently rented a Jeep Wrangler PHEV. Didn’t choose that model specifically; was expecting a Prius but it’s what the rental counter gave me.

The battery was dead when I picked it up. It was dead when I returned it, despite me actually looking for a L2 charger just to see what it would be like to drive fully on battery. It did drive as a hybrid (I could feel the ICE stop and start) but it wasn’t nearly as efficient as it could have been, especially considering my entire rental was probably under 100 miles.
