Do you know if Tesla or Pascal came first?
Yes I do.
But perhaps only because I studied all three: Math, Physics and Computer Science :P

You have some funny examples, lol.

Well,
my point is simple: I doubt this is happening in the relation between birds and windmills.
And: you can not proof it does.

So we are even.

Natural selection means: there is a filter that prevents/reduces "unfit" members of the population to breed.

There is nothing particular unfit in a bird behaviour to crash into a windmill. And there is nothing particular more fit, to not crash into one. There is no "magic gene" that would favour one and kill the other one.

As I pointed out in previous posts, perhaps not to you: the amount of birds dying to OFFSHORE wind mills is basically zero. I did not check onshore wind mills, though.

There is most likely a "data center bubble".
But not an AI bubble.

As soon as the data center builders realize they can buy optical processors, this "hype" is gone.

Yes, I know about those studies.
And as I gave you some rough numbers: it does not make any sense.

You neither have enough birds nor enough cats for the ca(t)rnage for such numbers

You would need some (some squared or cubed) monster cats that kill a thousand birds a year to compensate for all the cats who are to lazy to even try.

I did not feel attacked.

Well, we do not have MD here.
And if I write "BigDecimal", someone comes up and asks: what are you quoting here.
As plenty of people are not aware about the various usages of "quotes".

By complete coincidence I recently purchased this cordless angle grinder kit after watching a glowing review from one of my regular channels and wondering how good it could be for $75. It's not as good as a Milwaukee but I've been using it around the house and I'm going to modify a shoe rack with it this evening.

Of course this has nothing to do with the story and surely these aren't the types of arms the Framers envisioned when they set the foundation of upholding the Constitution upon the duties of the Citizenry.

That's how it happened here... the City Council saw how angry people were and realized if they didn't act we'd use the ballot measure, and forcing us to do that would probably get them replaced so they cancelled the contract. Half of them had to do a 180 for that, but nobody cares that their first statements were on the wrong side, since in fact they did the right thing when the vote came up.

Ballot measures are by far the strongest tool for Democracy. And in a Republic, it keeps those "Democratic Traditions" alive.

"An istory" is bad enough, but you really say "an opper?" For real?

I am not a lawyer, but bagging them to interfere with the signal might actually be just as federal a charge as a jammer, whereas cutting them down is likely only a State charge.

Usually federal charges are a lot worse. The food might be better, but you'll be there a lot longer...

Finally, after all these years, the tinfoil hats finally finally finally can protect our freedom from a giant evil conspiracy.

Tin foil brigade, call up all your friends, mobilize, your day has come!

It's not about where they put the cameras, it's about access to the data.

The police won't have it again in my city, because we forced the City Council to cancel the contract.

If they replace a contract that the City Council forced them to cancel with a similar contract, without going to the City Council for permission, we'll end up with the new Chief of Police, and that contract also cancelled.

My advice: If your city government doesn't respond to community demands... elect different people.

Another point is that in my State we have a functioning and effective Ballot Measure system of Direct Democracy, and if the City Council refuses to implement the Will of the People, we'll pass an ordinance using Direct Democracy to get our way. And when that happens against the will of the politicians, those politicians almost always get replaced (at the primary stage!) in the next election.

All the places in the US where the People have no local power are places that lack Direct Democracy as a backup, or that let the politicians hobble that system.

You are, intentionally or not, playing the role of "useful idiot." (I suspect that you do know, and it's intentional, based on your long history of commenting in support of all things horrible)

It wasn't my point, I simply saw it happening and spoke up, falsely thinking that would clue you in.

For the former, it's not useful for that. The file metadata already serves that role. The testimony of the person claiming it already will be the only evidence. Opposing council can say, "nu uh," and the Court is going to weigh "testimony by the creator" against "nothing." Testimony wins against nothing. Futhermore, "some guy made an app that has a database that I claim proves I took the picture" isn't actually different than "I claim I took the picture." You uploaded the picture first, that doesn't prove you took it, and the person or company that made the app is going to have to show and give testimony, or else it's not worth anything.

For the latter, it's the same; "I uploaded it first" doesn't prove anything.

If you want to prove you took a picture, use a camera and shoot in RAW, and never share the RAW file. This is a case where the "solution" is less robust that than the existing practice.

They do especially good in the cold down to -30C.
