I wonder if it is because Tailwind is the target, and it's reflecting default Tailwind font stack. Brackets notation is often used for size values but probably pretty rare to use for a font stack, as this kind of thing typically goes in config.

Policy impediments to use are real! Your data gap-filler approach is interesting though.

Along this line… occasionally there is official but obviously-wrong data from even WMO accredited providers whose automatic weather stations ('AWS') are busted. Perhaps your approach would help provide a widely validated bound-check? The trouble is often that kind of undetected, obviously-wrong data, is also a symptom of 'we have no money to fix it'…


As anyone who’s been near government data publishing or asset tracking works attest - That’s a sure fire way to either publish stale/wrong information or simply lose trees.

I’m not in London but surely there is more than 100k in public policy good to be had in promoting trees as assets that are worth stewarding well. Is population scale care for trees with a month of arborist days?

Urban forests make air conditioning work. Consider it an indirect investment in power grid resistance.

They also help surface drainage. Consider it an investment in roads and stormwater.


I'm glad this site exists. What doesn't get measured doesn't get managed, so I'm all for.

Regarding drainage, there is so little soil left in London that surface drainage of the kind you seem to be thinking of is non-existent. We had to build the supersewer to deal with it, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_Tideway_Scheme


That feels sensible to me. Facebook (used to?) do similar.

The risk here is different but you could imagine someone trying to migrate password managers and pasting a script they found on GitHub that purported to help.


With an optical muzzle flash companion to wake it / circumvent the speed of sound, it could even complain about being shot at! https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6685317


Or fire back if mounted on an autonomous drone


Yes! Do people still use it for EDMs? Or did responsive email kill this use case too?


To be fair TV ratings did this, just on a very slow inference cycle!


TV ratings did this as an aggregate of estimated viewer preferences. Doing that immediately on an individual level is wholly different.


Ditto. I can’t see this being used portably so do wonder if the 2 hour battery life is a clue on how fatiguing the experience might be.

2 hours I guess covers a commute, but it’s hardly handheld form factor - how much bigger would it need to be to get “all day wear” battery life? It doesn’t feel like a real spatial constraint, so can only presume >2hrs is not required in actual use.


As a believer - thanks for the insight! Normative acceptance of bizarre claims must feel odd. I guess there is a passing familiarity with some of these stories in some of these communities that means they are either unexceptional or at least, not the “main game” as supernatural beliefs go — but that must have felt strange!

Most faith communities I’ve been part of have had some form of space for questions and encouraged discussion about stories they have heard. I’ve found probably 1 in 10 people would start a discussion about this and maybe half would engage with it, suggesting community is a big part of the draw but also that for a significant minority, community is centred on some of these “big if they were to happen today” events.

I do think wrestling with our reality to understand the nature of the world is a pretty powerful force for creating meaningful relationships! But this depth can also be uncomfortable or abstract at times.
