If you are already installing RTKs why not do UWB or something that way you don't have to rely on GPS.
UWB has a max range of, like, 200 meters.
Do you know how big Iowa cornfields are?
Does this mean that the ad purchaser is paying Google or whomever for not real clicks?
Yes.
Isn't this a risk for Google and their ilk if ad purchasers decide to cut their spending by 22%?
The ad space is sold by auction. If you decline to buy, the next highest bidder buys the space.
The click fraud rate is already built into the price.
If the fraud rate was zero, advertisers would bid more than they do now.
Advertisers are buying clicks but are really paying for results. As long as the click-throughs are profitable, they will continue to bid.
I have a lot of trouble believing that claimed increase in active uses is real. The quality has dropped.
A rapid increase in users generally results in a drop in quality.
There is no such thing as gravity. It's just space-time curved by the presence of mass.
We have observed gravity waves propagating across billions of light-years. So gravity appears to be more than just bent space.
Dark matter could also be tiny black holes
There are plenty of reasons to believe that is not true.
Tiny black holes are not stable.
If tiny black holes are stable (because physics doesn't work the way we think), then some of them would merge or grow into medium-sized black holes. Yet there are ZERO observed black holes below 3.3 solar masses, the minimum size from collapsed stars.
If there were trillions or quadrillions of tiny black holes in our galaxy, 30 times the mass of all the stars, we would see signs of them everywhere, yet we see them nowhere.
MOND is a hack.
WIMPs are also a hack.
The problem with MOND is not its hackery but its failure to explain observed reality.
How would your hypothesis be tested?
What predictions can it make?
The big problem with MOND is that it can't explain why some galaxies have a dark matter halo, and some don't. MOND predicts the same distortion for all galaxies, and that isn't reality.
WIMPs are the best explanation so far.
In the USA, we require that doctors and lawyer be managed by doctors and lawyers.
Citation needed.
My healthcare provider is Kaiser. Here's the bio of the CEO. Guess what? He's not a doctor.
A prosecution requires a prosecutor.
The prosecutors work for the government.
Government fingerprints are all over this fiasco.
Nobody will be prosecuted. Nobody will go to jail.
Criminal negligence is a thing. That seems to apply in this case.
It was an open process, and lots of people were involved. Some of them expressed second thoughts, but the bottom line is that the FAA signed off on these decisions.
Should someone go to jail? That's a matter of opinion.
WILL someone go to jail? No.
Who'll go to jail?
Nobody.
If you want to put people in jail for stupidity and incompetence, you'll need to build a lot more jails.
The decisions that killed people were the lack of redundant sensors on the 737MAX and skimping on pilot training, both of which were approved by the FAA.
Battery electric vehicles have a 0.025% chance of catching fire, compared to 1.5% for internal combustion engine.
An ICE is 61 times more likely to catch on fire than an EV.
Hearing is a curse in this world half the time.
My dad turns off his hearing aid when he wants some peace and quiet.
Does this mean that we are finally on the cusp of having practical fusion for large-scale power generation?
No. We are getting close to sustained energy breakeven.
But economic breakeven is what matters, and we are nowhere near that.
Function reject.
