Oh, it goes so much further down than that.

It's all just fluctuating fields in the vacuum?

Turtles all the way down.

Until you're working on a project where the turtles eat the errors...

Funny story, that's how I've been describing the issue with how errors have been handled on the project I'm working on, where there are SO many areas where errors are just ignored... so they don't propagate up the chain/stack... doubly annoying in a node environment where it's all supposed to be error first (as in the first thing you think about and check for).

I was describing the problem as "turtles all the way down, except the turtles are eating all the errors, and the rabbits can't find them"

Those two example pictures aren't imaged in the same spectrum, I think.

Agreed but NASA's pictures are also pretty interesting for 6/30/16 (http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/latest/latest_1024_1600....) vs other days.

I think this is the exact picture they were using from that site : http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/latest/latest_1024_HMIIC...

Spotless is weird, so I don't know if I should trust my eyes, but I too have doubts about these images being shot in the same way.

Well, on the other hand you hopefully have a deeper appreciation of all the assumptions and approximations that make up the implementation of boolean logic underlying our computers.

Throw in a couple of gotchas and no-nos and see how the subject responds!

Where do the normal cars park?

Here is an example of such a street: https://www.google.de/maps/@51.2310008,7.0720156,3a,75y,127....

You bascially park your car somewhere half on the street, half on the curb. The sidewalk is just wide enough for people to walk there.

By the side of the street. In between the street and pedestrians passage. Or between street and bicycle path. Sometimes diagonally.

The only possible charging would be some stuff that's underground and comes out of the ground right next to the car. Hopefully attaches to the bottom of the car, so there're no hoses/wires flinging around.

And some cars are parked at grey-legal spots blocking other cars. People just leave their phone numbers if someone needs to get out earlier. That is super common when you know people around and can expect to drive away sooner than your neighbour.

Or overhead?

Except in the real world where said metrics wouldn't integrate meaningfully with the dozens of other devices that collect similar "useful" data into their own proprietary little gardens of infrastructure.

Obsolesence and device defects - I can imagine a saddle has a useful life of a couple of decades.

What are you really going to measure here beyond GPS and accelerometer data? The temperature and humidity of the saddle/horse interface? The strain and weight on the saddle? That'll allow you to report useful stuff like "your horse is tired and about to overheat", "you are to fat ride this horse", and the ever popular "this saddle is the wrong size for current horse/rider combo, please contact a sales representative". All the while taking in the views through the new and improved augmented reality interface on your smartphone, or hmd.

I mean why even have a horse at that point, it seems if you don't want to pick up on the communication from the live animal your riding, why not get a mud-bike.

I never said "very useful". I just wanted to highlight how an otherwise throw away idea might have some merit and wasn't the most stupid idea ever.

Yup. And we've already been tagging locations with adresses for years through that captcha.

That isn't exactly needed for this. The GPS location will give you a street address close enough for the metrics used by this.

All it would take is a button that says NO!

More useful is perhaps a function to "cut" the proposed route. I cannot pass this point kind of deal.

shim also works

This seems to result in every plane leaving either empty or delayed.

Realistically it would have to be done with an interval of boarding. Whether this interval is known to the passengers or not I don't think matter.

So boarding is between 10:00 and 10:30. The first passenger to arrive after boarding starts will be the first to board, since they would be at the end of the line at that time. And so would the next one, and so on.
