It's their land. What more should be required to stop people from dumping their crap on it?

By which I mean, not "what would have stopped them?", as fences, armed guards and tanks may have stopped them.

I mean, "what is the minimum requirement to ensure land isn't filled with other people's, or companies, stuff?"

For me, if they want to store stuff on some land, they should make sure they own it first.

I'm struggling to remember where I heard it, but the phrase "west side of the east midlands" is a perfectly cromulant description in the UK.

Jsonb in postgres is fine, I've been using it for years. Much better than letting mongodb anywhere near the stack.

That's exactly the point of the video

Interesting that they note that the installation and upkeep are expensive. I wonder if they've factored the upkeep into the energy expenditure. Flat roofing is far worse than a pitched room for needing replacement etc.

Basically, it sounds good, but the research needs to consider the full lifecycle of these projects.

It's not DNS.
There's no way it's DNS.
It was DNS

Quite an emotive title for "domain name not renewed"

Ok sure, there's limitations. So what percentage of their current deliveries are actually possible with drones? If it's above 0%, then there's an opportunity.

Beyond that it's a finance/ risk/ reward/ regulation issue.

Imagine a van which drives into a suburban housing estate and instead of parking individually at different houses for 5-10 mins each, spends less than 5 mins prepping a set of drones which take off from the roof of the van and return in minutes.

It saves time and fuel. It doesn't work everywhere, but it doesn't need to.

In fact it could be the same van. Do deliveries exactly as normal, and use a drone for the last half mile when convenient. It's not either/or.

I know of 4 people who have had it within the last 2 months. We're still in the COVID years.
