Thanks for releasing, I've been looking for something exactly like this to help plan out my PCT hike. Google Earth Pro for linux has become less usable with each release.

They were extinct in the wild in the late 80s. There's under 500 in the wild now. Of all the things that might trigger people, I suppose condor extinction is pretty understandable.

I've been reading about this roach backpack for ~25 years - is this approach (connecting to antennae) a dead end? A version is commercially available as a type of learning toy. https://backyardbrains.com/products/r

Similar story. Was in a caravan with friends on a road trip and apple maps had us going onto a dirt road to save time. We go overlanding a lot, so dirt roads aren't weird, but we decided to stop and double check before proceeding too f

Agreed - but if they're no longer able to effectively testify in court, they'd presumably no longer be able to do real police work - at best they'd be put in some administrative duty.

True enough - and sadly this complexity and subtlety is sometimes taken advantage of in order to create propaganda, such as to create sympathy for various issues.

I wonder why this mentality doesn't apply to other parts of society, like our police forces (i.e. shut a department down when an officer kills an innocent), or corporations that cause death/disaster? Is it because in those situati

you'd still be exposing the database system itself to the public regardless of the credentials you were using for the email service, as opposed to keeping it all within a VPC which seems to be what most guides recommend. I assume the d

How do you define mass emails though? I don't think the people who are sending out a hundred emails are really a problem as far as spam is concerned. On my other account here I have my email listed, and I expect to be contacted every n

Automatically signing you up for a newsletter is lame, but I've emailed people here in the past asking for opinions on new projects - I don't consider that spam. I'm talking like 20-30 emails maybe - no scraping involved.

People paddle with the Orcas every day in the PNW - they have plenty of opportunities to attack humans.

3500 sounds low IMO when you look at some of the drone videos in SoCal of the people tracking these (mostly juveniles in SoCal). Also they don't often confuse Sea Lions for humans, but it's still a good explanation for the few att
