<p>I love GeoJSON :) You can bring any Geo/GIS from 0 to visualization by just parsing it into GeoJSON.<p>geojson.io is a great editor/viewer by Mapbox. Also <a href="https://kepler.gl/demo" rel="nofollow">https://kepler.gl/demo</a> is great for additional filtering, visualizations like heatmaps, arcs etc.<p>A extension to GeoJSON that works with JSONL-like semantics would be great for huge files, but this could also be solved by tiling.</p>

<p>fyi: modern vehicles are required to have a e(mergency)Call function (UNECE UN-R 144), therefore all of these cars have a modem with a unique IMEI (that is typically bound to a VIN), therefore you can track the movements of every car pretty precisely.<p>Disabling the eCall is not possible, and doing so (in the EU) would void your car's registration.</p>

<p>TIL: Generally all plastics exposed to UV start to photodegrade.

<p>Hi,
I wrote a low-level HTTP/2 web crawler in Go, which can scrape partial content to save traffic.<p>Tl;dr e.g. the HTML of a YouTube video contains the video description, views, likes etc. in its first 600KB, the remaining 900KB are of no use for me, but I have to pay my proxies by the gigabyte.<p>My crawler receives packet per packet, and if I got everything I needed I reset the request, and only pay-for-what-i-crawled.<p>This is also potentially useful for large-scale crawling operations, where duplicates matter. You could compute a simHash on the fly, and reset on-the-fly before crawling the entire document (again).</p>

<p>The most interesting takeaway from this project and the Mac touchpad actually measuring it's pressure in grams[1] is how Apple seems to prioritise it's ability to deliver new features in later software releases rather than their BOM.<p>I work in the automotive industry, and for volume products the price-cutting is really brutal. If you can save a cent somewhere you will, because that cent multiplied by 8 million cars a year is a sizeable amount of money.<p>This seems to be generally true for most OEMs of hardware products, but not for Apple. Apple could have cut costs by just using a magnet and a reed switch/hall effect sensor, because it is not using the exact angle of the screen anyway (afaik?), but they chose not to.<p>They could have implemented their "3d Touch" by using a simpler circuit which just indicates if the press was really hard or soft. But again they chose not too.<p>And they sell over 20 million Macs per year, so they really sacrifice a sizeable amount of profit<p>[1] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44635808">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44635808</a></p>

<p>I dislike tech monopolies but Chrome leaving Google would be most terrible thing ever, security wise.<p>Google has become the benevolent dictator of the web, if you like it or not. We get secure browsers, performance improvements, stable implementations at the cost of one bad feature being shipped a year (like Manifest V3).<p>Mozilla/FOSS community has fucked up Firefox, big time, which is not even their fault as they cannot hire thousands of six-figure developers.</p>
