mrunseen··on ET-Jekyll: Edward Tufte-inspired Jekyll theme
This have antialiasing on, while Tufte CSS doesn’t, making the text little less “bold” on my Mac. I prefer the antialiasing: auto one (browser on the right)

Licensing is a issue[0] in commercial fonts, though.

Apple is a data giant, that’s for sure but article talks mostly about location data which Apple has raw access to.
mrunseen··on Facebook still ‘secretly’ tracks your iPhone
A user can disable geo-tagging or the better(?) disable precise location in Settings.app > Privacy > Camera.

Like mentioned in the article, there a lot of EXIF strips in Appstore too but I’m not sure if a regular user would take the road of take photo > go to exif stripper > delete exif on photo > save the photo > go to facebook > upload to facebook

I don’t think so, engines on RC aircraft are quite powerful compared to their weight which isn’t a case with “real” aircraft. There’s a number of issues that can happen (and probably kill the crew) but it’s the most fundamental issue.

Only event I know of is this: https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/jmtvch/tu...

mrunseen··on 68k.news: A Netscape 1.1 makeover of Google News
Cool project! My only complain is it defaults font to Courier (monospaced) which is harder to read and takes more place. You might use ‘Georgia’ which is web safe and pretty legible. Or of course, Times New Roman (just like site on this post)

Kind of off-topic but Hoefler didn’t actually design Gotham (and scammed his business partner Frere-Jones who actually designed the Gotham)

I'm not the OP but I think IBM Plex Mono would be good companion for this typeface.
mrunseen··on Fabbrica: A sans serif typeface with a utilitarian aesthetic
Great font, it seems like IBM Plex Sans's cousin.

Also kudos to the Cinetype. I believe more foundries should offer licenses in package (1-3 user install, 10-20k web, maybe even 1 book).

mrunseen··on Launch HN: Albedo (YC W21) – Highest resolution satellite imagery
I'm not the OP but I used to track & observe satellites, my guess is mostly no.

A satellite needs appropriate angle from sun to it's solar panels[0] to create any light pollution (or satellite flare, depending on what side you're looking from). Since OP's satellites won't be first in their class (We've got Maxar, Planet etc.) I don't think they will have any considerable impact on general light pollution. Actually, there's a lot of satellites "orbiting" at anytime but very little of them generate flares.

Problem with Starlink it's number of satellites are quite high (42k planned) and they got "persistent brightness".

Wikipedia article about satellite flares (it's short) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_flare

This and sensor technology ie. MFT sized 12MP older sensors perform worse results than more recent 16MP MFT sensors which performs worse results than even more recent 20MP MFT sensors.
