Are you plugging them in for permanent use? Or are you using them as mobile security cameras?

I live in a suburb near a county airport. I cannot fathom a life with Tesla owners flying over where my kids and I bbq. This idea is great, but people should still be licensed for the real safety protocols e.g. radio and not crashing into others.

>Facebook: global daily active users 2023.

>Statista https://www.statista.com › statistics › facebook-global-dau Feb 9, 2024 — During the fourth quarter of 2023, the number of daily active users on Facebook reached 2.1 billion, a minor increase on the previous quarter.

So roughly 28% of the planet.

I get the sense that you're trying to mask the simplicity of predicting the next-most-likely-word after training your app, ala markov chains, under the guise of "magical AI." Providing an error threshold when it spits out the wrong response to a phrase seems to be worsening its natural ability as well.

Nice. Thanks. I saw the light saber version is in ASCII in the source for usds.gov, I figured there was a meaningful back story.

One more observation: If I were to want to work for the USDS, there aren't job listings (that I saw) nor would I know what I was applying for by clicking the "Apply Now" button.

I have been out of Fed. Gov. for about a decade, but the hiring process was very complex and confusing back then, the "rule of thumb" was for people to apply to as many as thirty jobs, and expect to wait a month for a response. I'd recommend explaining how (if) USDS is different. I certainly wouldn't fill out the "Apply Now" form not knowing what I'd be interviewed for, in DC, with a response sometime in the next month.

There's a good chance I'm wrong here, but isn't directing your traffic overseas the exact thing that makes it fair game to state-level inspection?

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but aren't ACH transactions just an SFTP upload?

>So?

So, there's a huge lesson when an organization starts blaming every one else for scale problems; if everywhere you go there are issues, it's you.
