What is coming into view from the top center at 08:26:25 [0], right after the commentator says, "the weather conditions remain go"? It stays visible for more than seven minutes before disappearing behind the horizon.

The Moon.


Interesting.


Nice work! One minor point for me: it wasn’t immediately clear that you need to press Compile before Play gets enabled (e.g. Arduino IDE let's you upload right away and compiles if needed)


Good point.I’ll improve that. Thanks!


Sidenote: unlike in Tagalog, Kita means “day-care facility for children” in German, so names like Kita Capture and Kita Credit Agent could carry unintended connotations.


In Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian, kita is a derogatory word...


Luckily Germany is not an emerging market :)


Since when did Germany victimize itself into emerging market category?

I would be even more worried by the fact that it resembles Keeta, a delivery brand owned by Meituan, which actually operates in a bunch of large emerging markets.


Germany (~5% of SMEs underfunded [0]) isn’t underbanked; it’s just bureaucratically annoying; so more of an UX problem (which Kita helps address) with a somewhat similar outcome.

The US ("63M underbanked businesses") are already targeted: "Automate document review for business loan applications so you can fund more enterprises without scaling your back office." https://www.usekita.com/united-states

Street View cars added Velodyne LiDAR around 2017 [0][1], but it's optional. I found no data on 'LiDAR vs image only'-percentage.

It's safe to assume street view cars capture way more data than the stuff that ends up on the street view product.

Writing system [0]: "In a talk at the Oxford University Society of Bibliophiles on 11 May 2009 [1], Serafini stated that there is no meaning behind the Codex's script, which is asemic; that his experience in writing it was similar to automatic writing [2]; and that what he wanted his alphabet to convey was the sensation children feel with books they cannot yet understand, although they see that the writing makes sense for adults. However, the book's page-numbering system was decoded by Allan C. Wechsler and Bulgarian linguist Ivan Derzhanski, as being a variation of base 21."

[1] I could not find a source for that talk

[2] Automatic writing, also called psychography, is a claimed psychic ability allowing a person to produce written words without consciously writing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_writing


Wow, weird to see it's a documented phenomenon. I thought it was just me. At times I can talk, write or make sounds in a manner that is not intentional nor voluntary. Though it's nothing psychic, it's just a weird crossover of my ADHD and dissocation.

Also, files that are added to .gitignore after they’ve already been committed will still appear as modified. To stop tracking them, you need to remove them from the index (staging area):

    git rm --cached <file>


They mention it in the article:

> Microsoft began to build on their work in 2017. Although Kazansky’s approach maximizes durability and the density of data, in the latest work, Microsoft has gone for practicality. They explore a method that enables data to be written faster and decoded more reliably than did Project Silica’s previous iterations, says Black, and it uses cheaper borosilicate glass, rather than harder-to-make fused silica.
