With the new default ObscureKeystrokeTiming setting, a single typed character now causes hundreds of packets on the wire instead of 3.

Yes, it's worth making special travel plans _just_ to go to the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, even if one is not a motorcycle fan.

The museum presentation, architecture, and surrounding landscaping -- it's world class.

I heartily recommend the documentary Pretty Dyana, which follows a Roma community in Belgrade.

Try zooming ALL the way in on some color -- it shows field-level data.

I've read a first person account of early automobiles and automobile racing, Charles Jarrott's 1906 book "Ten Years of Motors and Motor Racing" https://books.google.com/books?id=iPRKAAAAYAAJ

Does anyone know if there is a similar, first person, written in the period, book about early aviation?

Joe Sutter, lead engineer and PM for the 747, wrote a nice autobiography "747: Creating the World's First Jumbo Jet"

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0060882425/

The considerations for redundancy, safety, and testing for these huge passenger jets is quite striking compared to, say, the Skunkworks book.

Recommended.

Were you aware that Google Earth has a "History" icon that opens a slider for historic aerial data? It's pretty fantastic.

One of my pasttimes is to compare different map sources/times for the same location.

I wrote a python2 tool that parses any URL like the one you gave, and outputs links to the geo location at many map providers:

But more interesting is that the fingerprint in the normal window and the incognito window ends up being the same.

- Enter word in normal browser window - In an incognito window, go to the URL and retrieve your word.
