You could also argue that the web has failed and poisoning it into irrelevance is a vital service, motivating humans to collect knowledge into immutable sources. We‘ll call them ‘libraries.’
Bubble of protection is 3000 feet laterally and 1000 feet vertically. From the article:
“Unlike traditional Temporary Flight Restrictions, the NOTAM does not provide geographic coordinates, activation times, or public notification when the restriction is in effect near a specific location. Instead, the restricted airspace moves with DHS assets, meaning the no-fly zone can appear wherever ICE or other DHS units operate.”
“In practical terms, a drone operator flying legally in a public area could unknowingly enter restricted airspace if an ICE convoy passes within the protected radius.”
The engineering is not stellar either. 96% of the line's crossings are at grade. Those intersections are undersignaled with barriers that are easy to drive around.
If you know anything about Florida drivers you won't be surprised to hear there have been 180 fatalities on Brightline since its inception in 2017.
My experience is that cars manufactured in the past 10 years can withstand salty rust belt winters with little or no corrosion. I'm sure metallurgy varies between manufacturers but I think you're underestimating how much practices have improved.
Some of the site's infrastructure is using an expired cert referencing letsencrypt R3 and other bits are serving a working cert at letsencrypt R10. Broken ACME updates maybe.
This can be so hard to get right! But I guess an automation oopsie is a step up from the need for spreadsheets, NMS checks, calendar reminders, and still having things expire once turnover erodes institutional knowledge.
I appreciate an abstract that doesn't beat about the bush:
The collapse time is estimated between 2037-2064 (10-90% CI) with a mean of 2050 and the probability of an AMOC collapse before the year 2050 is estimated to be 59 +/- 17%.
