This is very cool, I might want to get one of those. I have a saddle cover for my Brooks saddle to keep it safe from the elements and to hide that it's a nice saddle. It goes all the way around and covers the bottom, so something like that would hide the tracker. I'm not sure I can believe most bike thieves are looking very hard for trackers, but I suppose if they are becoming more popular then they will.

Only other place I can imagine is the seat tube but that looks too big for most seat tubes and I would thick it would mess up the signal. Maybe you could find a way to discretely tape it under your handle bars with bar tape?

You are misreading the very poorly captioned table. The percentages are showing a comparison of the rent of co-ops and market rent against the average in the same category of the five cities in the study. So co-ops are being compared against the co-op average. It's just to show that rent prices of co-ops and market rentals are similarly affected by the markets in the respective cities.

Oh I see so it has a GPS module and sends the GPS data to you. I was imagining a triangulation of the signal location using other nodes but this makes a lot more sense. That's really cool. Depending on how small these things are, could you fasten it under your bike seat? Might be easier if you have a full seat cover.

Location tracking is an interesting use case, I assume it would have to be in range of other nodes to work? Do you know the precision of this?

Is there a big meshtastic community in toronto? Seems like a cool technology, but it's hard to see a use case for me personally (either than that it's neat)

This is an interesting argument that I've never heard before. Isn't the question more about whether ai generated art counts as a "derivative work" though? I don't use AI at all but from what I've read, they can generate work that includes watermarks from the source data, would that not strongly imply that these are derivative works?

I haven't been able to find any info on that either than that Anna's Archive mirrors sci-hub and that sci-hub has not been updated since 2021 so Anna's Archive has a more up to date database.

I have found Anna's Archive to be more reliable than sci-hub

There is no beginning

How often does this actually happen? The cases where this does occur stand out because they are rare. I really hate the implication that scientists are not trustworthy because some individuals acted in bad faith. Scientific fraud is real but it doesn't mean you can't trust science.

Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers might satisfy that itch. It's not for everyone because it's more of an "ideas driven" story, but I found it to be a very cozy read.

I meant stuff like that discord or the rust discourse. If you aren't having luck there your best bet is probably sending cold emails to faculty that have expertise in the field you need.
