The concrete houses reminded me of the George Eastman (founder of Eastman Kodak camera company) [estate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Eastman_Museum) which is now a museum in Rochester.

Built in 1905 of reinforced concrete.

Worth a visit.

Are the Navy pilots actual eye witnesses to seeing these crafts or are they eye witnesses to whatever is electronically displayed to their HUDS/Helmets/lenses?

It seems every video I've come across, it was all electronic so it has me thinking just a software error.

I think it’s more regional.

I know in my city visitors find it weird when local strangers just start including them in conversations. I know I’d frequent places a line and be fine striking up conversations with whoever was also there.

But me visiting other cities and trying the same, I’d be met with wired looks and asked why I’m talking to them.

NYTimes is reporting that this is actually the fifth balloon to cross into our airspace. First four were seemingly ignored, three times under the Trump administration and once before during Biden’s.

My first as well.

With a family move to a new city during summer break, purchased an '85 and spent the entirety of the last summer month just programming things in it.

Haven't stopped programing since.

Tesla was found to be deactivating the autopilot mode at the second before a crash [0]. I think it's for a dubious reason so that Tesla could declare none of their cars were in autopilot/FSD mode when involved in a crash.

"The agency’s analysis of these sixteen subject first responder and road maintenance vehicle crashes indicated that Forward Collision Warnings (FCW) activated in the majority of incidents immediately prior to impact and that subsequent Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) intervened in approximately half of the collisions. On average in these crashes, Autopilot aborted vehicle control less than one second prior to the first impact."

The article mentioned the company sharing birthdates which is why I used it myself.

I'm just failing to understand why China using whatever data TikTok has on me to understand my tastes and personality is a national security issue for the United States.

The fear seems to be that China could tweak a US citizen's feed, based on their profiling, to inject Chinese propaganda?

So I'm an American who uses TikTok for entertainment.

I don't think it's utterly ridiculous to allow TikTok to continue. Even hearing these threats that China is possibly surveilling me - what do they get that other social media apps like Instagram get from me? From the FBI it sounds like the national security threat is that China may use it alter my feed to influence me or take over the control of my Apple phone? Has Apple warned users that TikTok will take control of their phone?

As far as I'm concerned, I'm just watching short 60 second videos and could not care less if China has my birthdate.

I use Home Depot's Wiz lightbulbs for this around my home. $10 a full-color bulb or so and each one individually connects to the home's wifi so there's no need for a hub or anything. The app works fine on my iPhone.

To add a sarcastic comment, the US could just increase its military spending to outspend the interest payment then to solve the issue.

Brought back a fond memory. Growing up my family's computer was a Mac with system 6 and Jurassic Park was released. I'd make some park control user interfaces in the paint program - trying to replicate the Mac menu and button designs - then play some Jurassic Park trying to save the park.

Italics.

Editor settings can assign italic characters, if the font has them, to keywords or word type (like comments).

Okay, I liked your idea of the window moving left and right and I tried to parse what you said and how to set it up as I haven't done shortcuts like this before.

In every app's menu bar (so like Safari or Chrome), there is the Window menu item. If you open that then press and hold the Option key on the keyboard, you'll see some alternative commands - two of them being:

    Move Window to Left Side of Screen
    Move Window to Right Side of Screen

You'll need those exact command names when you open Apple -> System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts tab. Then under App Shortcuts you can add some new shortcuts, where you can assign the Ctrl+Option+Left to the command title "Move Window to Left Side of Screen"

Once added, as you've said - once they are bound they will appear in the Window menu now as well.

The article cites Buffalo as paying for the stadium, but isn't the public portion ($1B) coming from New York State and not the city itself?

The stadium isn't even located in the city of Buffalo but well outside of it.
