Yes the method is nothing new. The novelty is FPV, considerably longer range (15km+) and relatively low cost.

TOW missiles were, believe it or not, FPV..

Optical tracking isnt fpv

That is not true. Annual number of prescribed burn acres had been stable since the 70s with a sharp increase in the last two-three years.

The main issues are sprawl and aging, above the ground electrical infra

The number of burns isn’t as important as much as how much ground is covered by burns and where. Has anyone studied it in greater detail?

I am not sure what sprawl matters, but I agree electrical infrastructure that is surrounded by fuel or can be affected by winds is problematic. But that still comes down to local and state leadership doing their job. It’s incredible that such large budgets and large numbers of public employees fail to produce outcomes that are any better than other states.


The parent says number of burn acres, not burns.

without sprawl forest fire is just forest fire. August Complex fire was 10x larger than Camp Fire which caused 80x deaths and 50x damages.


No code at all even - just use excel

In practice, using async insert with wait means you need batching/retries implemented on the client side or else you may find you have thousands of threads stuck in wait. If you need to replay bc you messed something up you're also SOL. I generally appreciate not having to run kafka but that comes at a cost.

Very good point.

Can't be done until Wasm Components are widely supported by browsers and everything in wasmland moves at turtlespeed for various reasons...

Better price and better lead time, if achieved, seems like enough differentiation to me, at least to enter the market successfully

Aside from the ones you mentioned, DoubleClick is probably their biggest success story. ITA (google flights) also pretty good

Same here except Motorola circa 2007. The build took hours and compiler was licensed from Windriver. We had to schedule time to do builds and test runs using some Rational pos software and we had a dedicated eng in charge of doing merges on release branch

I also heard they replace k8s etcd with a shim [0] similar to kine because their clusters are so large.

Operators that just render a config are a waste of resources. Operators that manage state of other operators (e.g Deployment) or external resources (e.g Crossplane) are a really convenient, developer-friendly way of solving infra automation challenges.
