good 'ol twitter is already spreading misinfo re: API pricing
That screenshot doing the rounds?
IT IS ***NOT*** the price list for the new paid API. it's for an *existing* paid API, specifically for full archive searches with big data limits. It has been around for YEARS. 🧵 for the record, source:
developer.twitter.com/en/pricing/sea…

click "standard" and you'll see the current prices for standard, aka "free".

this is still SO COOL to me. you can still see traces from WW2 everywhere, you just need to know where to look and what to look for for the record here's the full photo (section is on the left of the A) that shows how much of a moon landscape this place was in 1944

so we have this country-wide heightmap that completely ignores trees and, using this, you can reveal a lot of info about the landscape you normally can't see! compare this google maps screenshot with the heightmap. see anything interesting? (red = 45m blue = 35m) resolution is pretty high (error is unknown though) but from this zoom level you can very clearly see lower and higher areas. you can even see paths and tire tracks.

this tech was used to spot burial mounds through crowdsourcing. pretty darn neat!

you ever just develop a new hyperfixation out of nowhere?

Today l visited a local airbase museum, which was a German airfield in WWII and the largest in the country, at the time.
Nearby was a Luftwaffe (Lw) command center in a huge bunker, which l didn't know. The bunker itself, codenamed DIOGENES, is a 40x60x16 meter(!) concrete block with walls between 3 and 4 metres thick. From there, the Lw. controlled the entire airspace of the Netherlands and Belgium. The RAF somehow completely missed it, despite its size.
