The FAA still requires ashtrays in bathrooms interestingly. To avoid those who do smoke there using the trash and causing a fire:

  Regardless of whether smoking is allowed in any other part of the airplane, lavatories must have self-contained, removable ashtrays located conspicuously on or near the entry side of each lavatory door, except that one ashtray may serve more than one lavatory door if the ashtray can be seen readily from the cabin side of each lavatory served

What are the black dots around the map when you zoom in? For instance South-East Wales / Bristol, I see a few black dots that look like they cover shaded areas or something. They also show up at the sites for wind farms, possibly they're the turbines themselves?

Looks great. Interesting to see that a lot of stations are included but without prices.

Note, in brave on linux I can't see the map. Console has a lot of 401 on stadiamaps. But works great in chrome.

Some vague info here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fuel-finder-enfor...

> From 2 February 2026, you must submit fuel price updates within 30 minutes of any change.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/report-your-fuel-prices-and-fore...

So looks as though the requirement to report was only just introduced, hence the considerable missing data.

Edit: BBC reporting here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp80dpzdg37o

I happened to be looking at ski boot fitting this morning and came across a web app from fischersports that allows you to measure your feet using your phones camera. Surprise surprise it uses a sheet of A4 paper.

App is about halfway down this page, https://www.fischersports.com/rc4-podium-rd-worldcup-strd/U0... under 'find your size' and is powered by https://volumental.com/

Some context: https://archive.ph/Apfdv

Autostore ended up paying Ocado? How did Ocado abuse them?

They were supposedly invented in Scotland, and I've not seen them sold in an English fish and chip shop. Go to Scotland however and they're not uncommon.

Seems like it would be pretty useful to forecast the supply of renewables (wind, solar, maybe some hydro).

The OCR -> schema.org pipeline would be useful, I've been doing it manually prior to importing to Mealie.

Amusingly this appears to block access from the UK. https://archive.ph/pBmlV

A lot of Cyrillic characters: https://apps.timwhitlock.info/unicode/inspect?s=I+%CF%B2%D0%...

I don't think that's true, however doordash surely know that some users might think twice if they saw that number separated out.

It hosts user uploaded content I would guess, so presumably the OSA could apply to them.

Sure, it's a different part of the product, but still worrying that it may have happened at all.

Looking at it further though, you're right, this probably wasn't apple's fault.

They did have a bug that corrupted images on import I think? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45274277

So maybe don't fully trust it.

I started out using anki to improve my Spanish vocabulary. Eventually discovered Mochi [0] here on HN. Far better designed and executed, well worth a look if you're interested in Anki.
