Fun idea of a metric, but if I'm reading this correctly, we get roughly one apocalypse warning per year?

> Level 5 is calibrated so only the highest daily peak in the trailing year should exceed it.

The starting cost for a drone show is around $20k USD, so it wouldn't be hard to fake what they are doing. It's hard to say if this a functioning system that can take down drone swarms, or someone is testing the market for a system that can.

This would be pretty nice to carry around during oncall shifts, albeit, probably not the most productive device to have in the event you get paged.

Save you some time, this post never answers the question in the title.

I find this building's title of cottage preposterous, this is a mere hovel if I've ever seen one.

Pretty neat, but I wish they would have emphasized safety a bit more and put up a full sheet of plywood behind the target.

This would have been perfect if it ended a paragraph earlier.

It's unfortunate that he went back to work instead of quitting and filing patents on the device.

The deer lobby must be strong in Wisconsin.

Does a swat team have to show up for it to be swatting?

After working with declarative systems for some time now (terraform, kubernetes), I've concluded that things will generally be declarative, but you're bound to run into edge cases where the imperative nature of the underlying system bleeds through and shows up as a gotcha for some reason or other. For kubernetes, I've found that people tend to have to name YAML files in the order in which they should be applied for things to work properly. A more devious case involves kubernetes ConfigMaps getting updated in place via apply while the deployment fails to recognize that the environment variables for the pod have now changed and need to be restated. I suppose this could be chalked up to the idea that all declarative systems need to be functional and each resource should be immutable, however, that's never how it evolves in practice. In short, it's all been quite a disillusioning journey through the general promise of not needing to worry about ordering that eventually results in ordering being the hardest problem that the system faces.

You sure there isn't someone there doing A/B experiments for motivating the pickers and having to choose whether or not to try motivating them with the message "how would you feel if you have to tell your children they don't get to eat because you didn't pick enough items."
