I should have hit Fort Bragg by now but I'm not seeing that on https://www.noyocenter.org/live-web-cam

The earthquake was real but it is probably really hard to predict if that leads to a tsunami.

I was watching the crescent city webcam and watched the fishing boats rushing out of the harbor after the quake. The webcam is now down, so I hope they made it.

Crescent city has a long history of being devastated by norcal quakes due the the bathymetry and costline profile.

Is that webcam guaranteed to be a live/up to date feed? regardless I'd imagine there to be some confirmation by now.

There's a timestamp in the top right, so yes. Looks like no tsunami

Cool to see that Google Docs gives me this warning too https://imgur.com/a/B6qSboV

That's it? "Tsunami Warning", no context? no advice on what to do to avoid panic?

I would suggest that this is based on location of the IP address. I'm not getting it on the other side of the world.

Presumably a person receiving such an alert would have a heightened sense of self preservation and would investigate further..

Congrats on launching Oege!

This is the best article on the problems of airborne wind energy. It is 10 years old but I think Michael Barnard did a great job explaining all the variants and why it is hard https://czmphorfqgktmzxu.quora.com/Airborne-wind-energy-a-co...

You were not kidding. That article really covered a lot of the obvious questions I had (and was the single best thing I've ever read on Quora).

HugOps to the Drew, the rest of the Sourcehut crew, and anyone else working on this. Compliments on the clear blog post.

'Inmiced' lol! Thanks for keeping the titles accurate, so important especially with cancer research results. Happy holidays and I really enjoyed reading the quote on your profile https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=dang

It's the least of your accomplishments but thanks for being such a great HN contributor over the years!

Congrats on all your accomplishments Mitchell and looking forward to what you'll create next.

They already do I think. See https://salsa.debian.org/public and https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2023/09/19/debian-customizes-c...

For the source code yeah, but not for the issue tracker. Debian's issue tracker is very archaic and annoying to use when needed.

I'm glad it's not just me. I've given up on bug reporting to Debian on at least ~two occasions because the email sent via reportbug simply wouldn't go through without any indication as to why. Fortunately somebody else was more successful and all got fixed.

I never understood why it has to be so clunky. Some people might like this old style e-mail workflow, but I find it irritating.

Very cool idea. It is similar to an auto gyro copter, causing the rotor to pull the tower instead of a traditional wind turbine where it is pushing it sideways. This is way more efficient. If winds get high the rotor pulls the construction upright, causing the plane of the rotor to be horizontal, which reduces its wind capture area and speed.

Totally, it uses the materials in a much more efficient way, we can get way more turbines per unit of steel, etc.

I think GoDot will become very popular as an alternative and started a company around it. Ramatak released the first pre-release of their mobile studio for GoDot two weeks ago https://twitter.com/RamatakInc/status/1696914278861656397

"GoDot"? Isn't it named after Beckett's play, Waiting for Godot?

Oh, certainly. (The uppercase D is a typo, only the G is uppercase.)

From Wikipedia:
