Yes, I understand they changed it before GNIS, but it's updated now: https://edits.nationalmap.gov/apps/gaz-domestic/public/searc...

So again, it looks like they changed it to align to an upcoming change to official sources. They probably should not have claimed it was wholly dependent on USGS.

It's in USGS now: https://www.usgs.gov/news/featured-story/directed-president-...

Idk what timeline you're looking at, but if they knew it was changing anyway, might as well.

Also, the President in many ways has a lot of control over all three branches of government. Do they really want to risk contracts because USGS hasn't technically been updated yet?

I worked at MS when they were putting out win 8, so I'm maybe biased. I enjoyed the touch interface laptops but I'll fully acknowledge that in my case they were making up for a bad touchpad experience.

Yeah, and I appreciate that but I think I need air or better.

I do think they should offer that for iMacs as well.

I wish they would put these colors on laptops.

Yeah, at least in the pre-AI times I was writing way less code than in my startup days. but like 10 to 1000x people actually interacted with them.

OP might have been stuck in a dept that is winding down to prep for a layoff or something. I probably would have stuck around unless I found a different role. Who knows, you might just get some severance.

we only had a black and white printer, I don't think they would spring for color. Also, iirc he had a script he had us run to print it, so it' not like we were printing straight from the editor.

I had a professor who asked us to print source code for our projects for him to read. Looks like he's still at it. I'm sure he's being driven insane in these AI times.

Unfortunately, it would actually probably matter a lot if you can afford a good attorney.

Glad to see you're doing well now.

You could have separate drones bring the gear.

er, but it's also being propelled. Maybe they are able to ease off the thrusters so it's a soft landing.

I do think that this could only work for a short timespan and getting it to work perfectly each time with variances in weight would be hard. I'd imagine the thrusters and the tank would would wear out over time too, would be a nasty landing if only some of the thrusters worked.

yeah... I want to see the crash test videos. If someone is driving around with this in their trunk I'm staying away.
