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.
This is such a common argument for everything NIMBY. Your point remains valid, but the argument you've presented comes across uninspired.
What if you had no way to stop or from happening; what do you think might be reasonable mitigation steps that regulators could take to minimize the risk to your BBQ?
If something becomes an inevitability, you probably should be prepared with an argument that is accepting of that inevitability while still addressing your worries/concerns.
Just because the argument is "common" or "uninspired" doesn't make it wrong.
Certainly different "NIMBY" complaints can have differing levels consequences based on whether we're talking about sweeping changes to the skill level of most GA pilots vs. do we build this new apartment building here or not.

The same kinds of people who speed, watch videos, and do dangerous stunts while they drive are going to speed, watch videos, and do dangerous stunts while they fly.
Uber made everyone an amateur taxi driver. AirBnb made everyone an amateur innkeeper. Now the "tech" industry wants to make everyone an amateur pilot?
If someone's a bad amateur innkeeper, what's the worst that could happen? Their guests might have a poor experience, or at worst get bedbugs or something (which happens commonly at real hotels a lot these days anyway). At the very worst, their "inn" could burn down, but that's a risk with any building, including whatever home the guests normally live in.
Amateurs flying aircraft have the potential to cause far more havoc than this, or even the havoc that a bad driver could cause.
A CIWS probably doesn’t have enough stopping power for a GA aircraft so the burning wreckage will still crash into you. Need to go full AA gun, 12 DD stamps included with your purchase.

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.
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.
So we have a logo that's a shield with wings: https://www.usds.gov/assets/img/usds-logo-horizontal.png . For an off-site last year in the Chesapeake Bay, our designer Ellen Butters came up with a crab made out of the logo. Ellen named the crab Mollie in honor of Mollie Ruskin, the designer who came up with the original USDS logo.
It might sound silly, but we actually got an application from that Slate article. A little whimsy can go a long way in government. We have a lot of crab-themed decorations around the USDS townhouse in DC. I even have a crab drawing my nephew made hanging right next to my desk.
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.
That's good feedback--thanks. We use a special hiring authority, which allows us to avoid a lot of the complex and confusing bits of the Federal hiring process.
The bottom line is that we are always looking for strong designers, engineers, and product managers and we can hire them quickly (in government terms).
Glad you noticed the easter egg in the source code! You know that means you have to apply now. :)
Legally maybe, probably, who knows. Personally I don't feel protected legally anymore with regards to privacy. It's a good thing I don't really do anything illegal, even if it both saddens and angers me that the world is letting this happen.
Technically I'm assuming without some serious cooperation with Digital Ocean it's going to be hard. Sure, if someone gives the authorities (or the hackers get) root, then my OpenVPN software will be more Open than "VPN."
