The U.S.’s decision to ban the sale of new foreign-made drones will have far wider-reaching implications than its effect on pilots’ ability to access new models and parts

My company @SpexiGeospatial was in @sciam to discuss the US ban on foreign-made drones (70-90% of drones). This affects first responders, agriculture, infrastructure, and inspection. 80% of consumer drones are effectively cutoff with no domestic alternatives.

Our thoughts are with everyone in Abbotsford and across the Fraser Valley who have been impacted by the ongoing flooding this December. Days of heavy rainfall overwhelmed rivers and drainage systems, flooding homes, closing critical roads, and forcing many families to evacuate

How old were you when you realized Star Trek's Starfleet badge and a Oujia board planchette are identical, tear-shaped dropped symbol that are used for communicating across the void.

I haven't publicly worked on a "web3" project for nearly a decade, but that's about to change.
Tomorrow’s greatest networks will do more than pay contributors—they’ll empower them to shape the network and share in its success. Stay tuned to see what comes next... 👀

Does Jack Daniels make vodka now? If not, fantastic bit of satire in an otherwise terrible post, councilor.

A good metaphor for modern life is this city councilor making a inflammatory and factually untrue statement about international trade. It is, of course, accompanied by a fake image.
The LCBO’s decision to pull American liquor from its shelves is yet another example of government incompetence at its finest. The liquor has already been purchased, meaning taxpayers have already footed the bill. Instead of recouping that money by selling the stock to consumers,

This Stripe report is the first time I've seen real numbers tied to real revenue for AI companies, and my lord. Outpacing 2018 SaaS in 66% of the time is wild. (Note that this tracks the top 100 companies in AI/SaaS, and AI may be particularly top-heavy in terms of revenue.)
Growth rates for AI companies are a have-to-be-seen-to-be-believed phenomenon. The letter benchmarks them against a prior cohort of SaaS companies. That is also the obvious comparison for me, and at all levels of the industry, the numbers confound many years of SaaSy intuitions.
