Google rolls out Street View time travel to celebrate 20 years of Google Earth


After 20 years, being able to look at any corner of the planet in Google Earth doesn't seem that impressive, but it was a revolution in 2005. Google Earth has gone through a lot of changes in that time, and Google has some more lined up for the service's 20th anniversary. Soon, Google Earth will help you travel back in time with historic Street View integration, and pro users will get some new "AI-driven insights"—of course Google can't update a product without adding at least a little AI.

Google Earth began its life as a clunky desktop client, but that didn't stop it from being downloaded 100 million times in the first week. Today, Google Earth is available on the web, in mobile apps, and in the Google Earth Pro desktop app. However you access Earth, you'll find a blast from the past.

For the service's 20th anniversary, Google was inspired by a social media trend from last year in which people shared historical images of locations in Google Maps. Now, Google Earth is getting a "time travel" interface where you can see historical Street View images from almost any location.


God, this makes me feel old. I remember when it first came out (I most likely learned about it from Ars) ... I was living with my girlfriend who would later become my first wife, and I was glued to my tower while she was at her desk on her laptop.

We showed each other the places we'd lived over the years -- like, individual buildings -- and that out of the way, we started exploring and calling each other over for interesting finds.

I'm pretty certain we lost a solid two days. It's hard to believe, now, that the post-9/11 world was "simpler times." Back then, everyone in our age bracket longed for the stability and simplicity of pre-election 2000.

in reply to Powderhorn

Me trying to hold both truths at once that Street view is an absolutely fantastic tool and that I hate google so damn much.




‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops




‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops


A new site, FuckLAPD.com, is using public records and facial recognition technology to allow anyone to identify police officers in Los Angeles they have a picture of. The tool, made by artist Kyle McDonald, is designed to help people identify cops who may otherwise try to conceal their identity, such as covering their badge or serial number.

“We deserve to know who is shooting us in the face even when they have their badge covered up,” McDonald told me when I asked if the site was made in response to police violence during the LA protests against ICE that started earlier this month. “fucklapd.com is a response to the violence of the LAPD during the recent protests against the horrific ICE raids. And more broadly—the failure of the LAPD to accomplish anything useful with over $2B in funding each year.”

“Cops covering up their badges? ID them with their faces instead,” the site, which McDonald said went live this Saturday. The tool allows users to upload an image of a police officer’s face to search over 9,000 LAPD headshots obtained via public record requests. The site says image processing happens on the device, and no photos or data are transmitted or saved on the site. “Blurry, low-resolution photos will not match,” the site says.

fucklapd.com uses data provided by the City of Los Angeles directly to the public,” McDonald told me in an email. “This data has been provided in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits. That means all of this information belongs to the public and is a matter of public record. fucklapd.com is not scraping any data.”

In addition to potentially identifying officers by name and serial number, FuckLAPD.com also pulls up a police officer’s salary.

“Surprisingly it [the domain name] only costs $10 a year to exercise my first amendment right to say fucklapd.com,” McDonald said.

I tested the tools by grabbing an image of a white and bald police officer from an LAPD press conference addressing its use of force during the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. I uploaded the image to the site, and within a few seconds the site presented me with nine headshots of officers who could be possible matches, all of them bald white men. The first correctly identified the cop in the image I uploaded.

Clicking “view profile” under the result sent me to the Watch the Watchers site by the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, a community group based in the Skid Row neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles. “All of the information on this website comes from records that were deliberately made public by the City of Los Angeles in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits,” the Watch the Watchers site says. “We plan to keep refreshing this data from new public records requests as well as to add other data.” Stop LAPD Spying Coalition is not associated with FuckLAPD.com and did not endorse the site.

McDonald told me that since the site launched, it had around 50,000 visitors, but “Because the analysis happens on-device I have no way of knowing what people are using it for, except for some people who have posted screenshots to Twitter or Instagram,” he said.

In 2018 McDonald made another tool called ICEspy which used hundreds of photos of ICE employees from LinkedIn and does much the same thing as FuckLAPD.com. “This app is designed to highlight and embarrass the organization committing atrocities against refugees and immigrants to the United States,” ICEspy’s website says. That tool originally used a Microsoft API, before Microsoft restricted access to it. McDonald said on X that he recently relaunched the tool to run locally on devices. 404 Media tested ICEspy using images of ICE employees on LinkedIn to verify if the tool worked and each result was incorrect; McDonald indicated on X he was looking for others to re-scrape LinkedIn and update the database.

Over the last few months ICE officers have consistently worn masks, neck gaiters, sunglasses, and baseball caps to shield their identity while often refusing to provide their name or even confirm the agency they belong to. This includes while violently assaulting people, detaining U.S. citizens, and pointing weapons at bystanders, leaving little room for recourse or accountability against the individual agents or the agency.

ICE’s constant use of masks has created a climate where people cannot be sure that the heavily armed group of men coming towards them are really federal agents or not. In Philadelphia, a man pretended to be an ICE agent in order to rob an auto repair shop and zip tie an employee. In Brooklyn, a man posed as an immigration officer before attempting to rape a woman.

ICE claims that assaults against its officers have increased by 413 percent, and use this as the justification for covering their faces. But as Philip Bump showed in the Washington Postthere are still plenty of questions about those numbers and their accuracy. ICE says its officers’ family members have been doxed too.

Neither the LAPD or ICE responded to a request for comment.

Any suggestions?

The "big" ones either cost or are shit.



Fired Justice Department lawyer accuses agency of planning to defy court orders


A longtime government lawyer told Congress that Justice Department leaders planned to knowingly defy court orders and withhold information from judges to advance the Trump administration's aggressive deportation goals, according to a newly published whistleblower complaint.

The lawyer, Erez Reuveni, previously won awards and commendations over nearly 15 years at the Justice Department, including from Republican appointees in the first Trump administration. But he was put on leave and then fired in April after he told a federal judge an immigrant had been deported in error.

Reuveni ultimately decided to blow the whistle to lawmakers and watchdogs at the Justice Department and the Office of Special Counsel, detailing what he called defiance and noncompliance in three separate immigration cases this year. His accusations add to broader concern about the Trump administration's repeated clashes with the judiciary over immigration and other policies.



'Alligator Alcatraz': Florida building migrant detention centre in Everglades, funded in large part by FEMA


Florida has begun building a detention centre - dubbed the 'Alligator Alcatraz' - to temporarily hold migrants on an air strip in the Everglades.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the facility would be funded "in large part" by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's shelter and services programme, which was previously used to provide accommodation and other aid for undocumented migrants.

The mayor of Miami-Dade County, Daniela Levine Cava, a Democrat, criticised the plan, saying "the impacts to the Everglades ecosystem could be devastating".

The Florida Everglades are a unique environmental region comprising marshes, prairies, forests, mangroves and estuaries. Uthmeier said the facility would not be located within Everglades National Park.

JD Vance suggests Iran’s uranium stockpile is still intact despite US strikes


JD Vance has suggested Iran’s estimated 400kg (882lb) stockpile of enriched uranium, which is just short of weapons-grade, remains intact despite the recent US bombing campaign against Iran.

On Monday, the vice-president told Fox News that the location of the uranium “is not the question before us”, and said the relevant question was: “Can Iran enrich the uranium to weapons-grade level and can they convert that fuel into a nuclear weapon?”

The Iranian stockpile of uranium was believed to have been located mainly at Isfahan, which houses a conversion facility that turns uranium into the form that can be fed into centrifuges for enrichment.




Clinton’s Endorsement of Cuomo Is Grotesque but Predictable


Bill Clinton’s last-minute endorsement of Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s mayoral race is all too fitting: both men represent the corporate Democratic establishment, opposed by socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani, that has abandoned the working class.










A glimpse of the future of aviation


Compared to the whine and roar of the planes that came before, when the plane I had come to see appeared, the first thing I noticed was the lack of noise. As the plane circled back, and glided overhead on its second pass, the plane’s electric motor gave off a soft hum.

The several hundred aviation enthusiasts who lined the taxiway with me at San Carlos Airport, heads craned towards the sky, had likely come to see that morning’s finale: an acrobatics display featuring the Sukhoi West Demo Team.

I had come to see the B23 Energic. The plane’s diminutive size – it measures just under 22 feet from nose to tail and a little more than 30 feet wide at the wings – belies its outsized role in the future of aviation.

Airports are already busy reducing emissions from operations on the ground and at the gate. Emissions from planes in flight account for a much larger share of the sector’s overall carbon footprint and will be commensurately difficult to clean up.

Travelers alive today may never fly across and between continents on fully electric planes. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a role for battery electric planes today.

In fact, the B23 Energic will be used to train the next generation of European pilots beginning next year.


H55 is targeting the B23 Energic at flight schools, aero clubs, military academies, and private pilots. The 100-kilowatt electric motor and 49 kilowatt-hour battery pack allows for around 70 minutes of flight time. One hour of charging yields one hour of flight time.

For flight schools, the big selling points are the low operating costs and quiet operation.

The electricity cost for 1-hour of flight is just $7 (at 20 cents/kWh), according to Bristell.




finestraica pigrizia con del rendering schifatico.


Non inizia per davvero una nuova settimana in termini lavorativi personali, se non esce fuori un nuovo esterrefacente bug sul mio assolutamente meraviglioso apprezzatissimo Windows 10… e anche stavolta non è qualcosa che vedo per la prima volta, ma adesso ho avuto modo di filmare (talmente che son rognosi codesti troiai).

finestraica pigrizia con del rendering schifatico.


Non inizia per davvero una nuova settimana in termini lavorativi personali, se non esce fuori un nuovo esterrefacente bug sul mio assolutamente meraviglioso apprezzatissimo Windows 10… e anche stavolta non è qualcosa che vedo per la prima volta, ma adesso ho avuto modo di filmare (talmente che son rognosi codesti troiai). Ed è tutto assurdo come al solito… 😭

Quello che è successo stavolta, e che ovviamente succede solo a momenti alterni in base a nessun criterio logicamente discernibile, è che alcune finestre (di explorer, nello specifico… non mi sembra di averlo mai notato con altre finestre che tengo non massimizzate) magari prendono e smettono di renderizzare le zone che sono al di fuori dell’area dello schermo, nel mio caso perché spostate troppo verso destra. Normalmente non succede nulla di strano mettendo le finestre in fuori, mentre in certi casi la finestra finisce in questo stato semi-glitchato, in cui si osservano due distinte merdate: 💩

  • Guardando dalla vista Alt+Tab, si vede che la finestra ha effettivamente il contenuto aggiornato nella parte per cui questa è visibile a schermo, mentre per la parte in cui è oltre si vedono o i pixel precedenti al momento in cui è scattato il glitch (e stavolta questo è il caso), oppure proprio del nero (probabilmente bit di memoria resettati a zero, quindi pixel #000). 🕳️
  • Trascinando la finestra da fuori a più in dentro l’area dello schermo, sul bordo limitrofo si vedono apparire per delle frazioni di tempo i pixel lì rimasti non aggiornati, esattamente come visibili dall’Alt+Tab (quindi in questo caso colorati, altrimenti neri), mentre contemporaneamente quella parte di finestra si aggiorna e si sbugga. Il resto che rimane oltre lo schermo rimane glitchato, mentre ciò che è stato spostato in dentro rimane sglitchato (almeno fin quando la maledizione non colpisce di nuovo la finestra). 🎃



Anche stavolta, un problema molto stupido, ma guardate che cazzo di roba! (E guardate come nel mentre fa la sua guest appearance un altro glitch che postai mesi fa…) Come minchia si fa ad introdurre un problema simile in un sistema operativo?! Pensare che io faccio sempre gli aggiornamenti (ho liberato spazio da quell’ultima volta, eh…), ma questi bug continuano a rimanere. Anzi, molti di quelli che io ho qui sopra pare ci siano ancora anche su Windows 11, dopo anni e anni… E che cazzo, cioè, è da un trentennio che in un modo o nell’altro la shell di Windows è completamente rotta, e non cambia mai niente in questo senso… e allora mi spiegate a che minchia servono tutti gli infiniti aggiornamenti, se non risolvono mai i veri problemi che si incontrano? Vaffanculo!!! ☄️💣🔪👹

Un incidente a luci rosse per Chris Robinson durante la gara dei 400 metri ostacoli




Jury orders man to pay $500K for assaulting police officer who killed himself after Capitol riot


The jury ordered chiropractor David Walls-Kaufman, 69, to pay damages to Erin Smith for assaulting her husband, Metropolitan Police Officer Jeffrey Smith, on Jan. 6, 2021.

A federal jury on Monday awarded $500,000 to the widow and estate of a police officer who killed himself nine days after he helped defend the U.S. Capitol from a mob of rioters, including a man who scuffled with the officer during the attack.

The eight-member jury ordered that man, 69-year-old chiropractor David Walls-Kaufman, to pay $380,000 in punitive damages and $60,000 in compensatory damages to Erin Smith for assaulting her husband, Metropolitan Police Officer Jeffrey Smith, inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. They awarded an additional $60,000 to compensate Jeffrey Smith’s estate for his pain and suffering.

The judge presiding over the civil trial dismissed Erin Smith’s wrongful-death claim against Walls-Kaufman before jurors began deliberating last week. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes said no reasonable juror could conclude that Walls-Kaufman’s actions were capable of causing a traumatic brain injury leading to Smith’s death.
