Comment This is why I went to QGIS (Score 1) 25

Google has been slowly fucking Google Earth desktop so they can push you to the less-featured web and mobile versions where you pay to have your dataset hosted online instead of on your device and have AI incorrectly interpret shit you're doing.

Google's investors and C-suite need to get placed in an octagon with a pride of lions.

Comment Re: Trading on Knowable Information (Score 2) 82

Why are we bothering to regulate something that can't be reasonably practically regulated? Open betting on anything and everything, but people need to have been sufficiently uninformed to have made the bet "fair"?

It's like banning knowing what you're talking about. We do it for businesses because there are fundamental economic mechanics that come from collectivized investment and market price discovery, and the fairness of information release has legally prescribed mechanics (e.g., quarterly reports).

What utility does Kalshi provide to the economy? What's the social and/or economic value? What are the fair mechanics for information availability?

See there is the trick, find companies out there that actually TRY to be human sounding instead of just random grouping of letters and numbers. This is usually the first sign that you're more likely to encounter legit yet cheap product. Vevor is... eh kinda easy to remember and their product listing prices look more like what an actual manufacturer would be charging to retailers buying their stock.

Comment IEEE is horribly under-informed (Score 1) 195

The company I work with can easily ramp up satellite production to the scale required. It's one of the reasons I got hired, my extensive manufacturing experience in electronics and solar and power systems pairs perfectly with the requirements.

Perhaps the IEEE should spend some actual time with the companies that already have some of this hardware in orbit, with more going up soon.

Comment Re:Dept. of War? (Score 1) 40

IANAL but I did see in the news that this was not a legal name change. The executive order itself says that Trump "determined that this Department should once again be known as the Department of War" but otherwise describes it as a "secondary designation". Given that laymen are widely aware of this, I expect high-ranking judges to be aware too.
