Might be cool, won't know, because of that full page "we are tracking you, do you consent, or do you want to go through a click adventure that'll probably take half an hour before we pretend that analytics and tracking cookies are essential site functionality and we refuse to give you the option to turn those off" notice. If you can't write your site code to do the right thing when DNT is turned on and without needin…

You can open it in the incognito mode, consent to all, and then let the browser delete everything upon closing the window.

This looks very useful and would bring electricity prices way down. The best time to start building would have been years ago, the second best is today!

I assume you’re joking, but in case you’re not - the plan would put the capital city (Prague/Praha) under 200m of water.

Yes, but 2 PWh clean energy though. Great for economic growth, and the new lake would be good for leisure and tourism.

Very nice! Obligatory and shameless self promotion everytime the topic of 3D maps comes up: I recently created a web app to visualize GPS tracking files in a 3D terrain. You can upload your GPX or FIT files and it generates the 3D Terrain using Babylon.js It's called https://cubetrek.com

I recently created a web app to visualize GPS tracking files Off topic, but since you work with GPS tracking files, perhaps you can recommend a GPS tracking device for me. Until last year, I used one I got around 2005 that was about half the size of a pack of cigarettes. You turned it on, and it would start logging waypoints at 10 minute intervals to a standard text tracking file on a microSD card. I could unload tha…

Watches appear on the reject list, but fail to match any of your explanations. If it's about not wanting something on your wrist, just replace the strap with one that is good for clipping to your backpack. Most of the cheaper Garmin don't offer an option to lower recording frequency for extreme battery runtimes, but the Instinct series should do that just fine.

What a blast for the past! I still have a functioning Wintec GPS tracker which I bought in 2007. One battery lasts for some days, I have multiple batteries… It’s barely larger than a pack of matches. Currently they sell This model here https://www.win-tec.com.tw/portfolio-item/wbt202/ , I have a WBT200.

This is very much like the one I want to replace. Unfortunately, it's not available for retail purchase anymore.

Wouldn't this put Prague underwater?

That's one of the main benefits.

One key problem I see is that Plzen is now underwater too, which means, no more Pilsner Urquell.

That would be bad.
