The US Navy has a very high risk of losing facilities to sea level rise. They have been making contingency plans for coastal bases for decades.

OsmAnd won’t get there without live traffic data, but for that to work the users have to accept live location tracking. Magic Earth’s traffic data depends on active users allowing the app to collect location, direction and speed in order to create a real-time traffic flow estimate, exactly the same way that Google Maps does it. I seriously doubt that this feature will be added to OsmAnd anytime soon.

Considering how many users osm has businesses have an incentive to keep it up to date.

It’s really not enough incentive. The difference in scale is massive.

“1. More than a billion people use Google Maps every month. (Google Cloud)
2. 5 million active apps and websites use Google Maps Platform core products weekly. (Google Cloud)”

By comparison, OSM doesn’t even register, it’s a rounding error.

But they simply don’t know about it.

Knowing that should be giving you a clue about how much market penetration there actually is.

They would add it if they would know about it.

Doubtful. The businesses that benefit the most from having things like operating hours easily accessible are small retail storefronts and restaurants (e.g. not places with dedicated IT teams). For a small business owner, they’re probably going to ask “how is this worth my time?”

Magic Earth implements OpenStreetMap but is freeware, not open source. Unfortunately it’s the only option I know of that has real-time traffic information.

For finding businesses I would not expect much… there seems to be no good answer that isn’t Yelp or Google Maps, and of course that kinda goes by the nature of crowd sourced reviews and information.

This is really true. Businesses have a lot of incentive to add their own information to Google Maps and keep it up to date, not so much with OpenStreetMap.

That entire bit is one of my favorite scenes in all of Star Trek. It’s so well cut in to the original episode footage, it’s great.

That’s not the right line.

What happened? Some kind of genetic engineering?

Questions at the end of the episode:

1. Are we going to address the moral issue of Ortegas just stealing from the Gorn? No, OK cool.

2. Why did the shuttle collapse into the ground at that exact moment? or, at all? We saw no other instances of things just falling into the ground on this planetoid.

3. Are we going to address the moral issue of Uhura putting 400 lives at risk for the sake of her personal feelings? No, OK cool. That little conversation with Pike doesn’t count. The moral at the end of the story is “It’s OK to lie and put everyone at risk to make yourself feel better.”

2. Also, as noted in the episode, we have shuttles… even if it’s slower, you can reduce risk by sending the slower ship with the critical McGuffin toward the rendezvous, and ask the other ship to speed up to compensate. If you’re able to finish the rescue then you can just overtake the shuttle and pick it up on your way to the rendezvous. Either way the critical McGuffin gets delivered. Problem solved.

so it’s an airport

Just, ah, be careful with DIY laser cosmetic devices, and don’t trust safety goggles that come in the box with them.

That’s ok we’ll just refactor it with AI.

I fail to see the problem.

Well shit, yeah, that “MUST be accepted and parsed” is pretty explicit. That sucks. What is even the point of revising standards? How the fuck do we ever get rid of some of these bad ideas?

#18 seems really bad, like no-one-has-ever-sanity-checked-this bad.

Yeah I feel like the correct answer for anything obsoleted by a more recent RFC should be “Invalid”.

Minority Report here we come…
