    Careful, this might only apply to professors, not the rest of the staff.

    Geospatial anything. Geomatics, GIS, geodesy, surveying, photogrammetry, optics, whatever is related.

    Sample size of 18 and 'on average'. Scienceclickbait, you don't miss anything spectacular by skipping this article.

    How can data be retracted from a blockchain? Both those sites are also subject to laws and can easily retract information if necessary.

    You could just use any free kind of canary instead, access to traps is easy to notice without any need for a complex external dependency or wasting big amounts of money.

    So what if a story or bit of information has to be retracted by law? I second my sibling, newspapers have no interest in transparency.

    Oh, blissful unawareness of the crazy untrustworthiness of Google product longevity.

    And they track all you read, thanks to being a private, centralized service.

    And you habe not been killed by frozen poop falling from an airplane in the sky. Which would have been as likely as Bitcoin becoming a speculative hype. Celebrate that!

    It Jeans the color of the bikeshed will be decided by one strong opinion and everyone can get back to work.

    Either your input data is horrendously bad or you are doing it wrong. What do you use to ingest Shapefiles into PostGIS? Can you provide an example with files where you failed?

    I know I am days late, but the submitted page is horrible and 'stolen'. They even reference (but of course don't link) a leaner page as their source: https://www.joe.co.uk/news/sle…

    I wont believe that. Can you show some proof?
