I don’t know. This obsession with Musk’s whereabouts strikes me as a little dicey. I get it — there are safety rules. And Musk could charter a jet. But I don’t think making the guy a martyr is a good look.

Making your movements 1:1 with a particular, trackable (for good reason!) aircraft isn't martyrdom.

He can fly coach like the rest of us if he actually cares.

How does this make Musk a martyr? Any attempt on his life solely based on ADS-B data would require apparatuses that will get law enforcement involved long before it becomes a tangible risk.

You don't think there could be a starry-eyed kid tracking Elon's jet because when he grows up he wants to be just like him? I have a relative that listened to aircraft radio when planes flew over his house. He became a pilot. But kids today don't have radios. They have cellphones.

It would be much easier to have sympathy if he wasn’t the one creating the situation himself.

Maybe because I’m the older brother, but I’ve never been a big fan of the “I’m not touching you” game.

For me, on safari, ~70% of the viewable page was google advertisements. That’s usually a good sign that they’re trying to make money.

Jack, if you see this, you should fix this before the big G suspends your AdSense account (definitely a ToS violation)

[HWR_14 → ops]

Why is having a website designed to make money an AdSense ToS violation?

[ops → HWR_14]

There are limits (in their ToS) to the amount of ads you can have on a page, and this was way beyond that limit.

I’ve made this mistake myself :)

“Fixing it” here just means removing some of the ads. I suspect he’ll actually make more money after removing most of the ads.

[HWR_14 → ops]

Thanks.

I suppose the "more money" is that you would expect more conversions as people spend longer on the site and less time clicking away from the ads?

[ops → HWR_14]

Correct

Why not extended to every vehicle on the planet including classified army ones.

I guess they are called private jets for a reason.

Like this Boeing C-17A Globemaster that flew around the bay area today at 03:21Z? https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae1461&lat=38.237&lon=-...

Military planes fly with transponders on when they're sharing airspace with civilian aviation.

[ddmma → alright2565]

Thanks for sharing, then someone should get a fighter jet instead.
