C949: Beijing's Supersonic Jet Enters the Race
China’s COMAC unveils C949: faster & quieter than Concorde, with 50% more range.
Jet aims to bypass bans by reducing sonic boom with a curved body.
Other projects: NASA’s X-59 (Mach 1.4) & Boom’s Overture (deal with 3 airlines).
How to assess the completeness of OSM building data
Free and open-source map data from #OpenStreetMap is an invaluable data source for research across disciplines. But how complete is the #OSM building data in your area of interest?
We have developed a flexible pipeline to evaluate OSM building data completeness worldwide using the #Overture Maps database.
A step-by-step guide and code are available on our blog and in the accompanying Jupyter notebook: https://heigit.org/osm-completeness-with-overture-maps-data/
New Overture Places Dataset
Another Festivus miracle! #Overture Places is an open dataset of over 50 million places. We’ve added this dataset to #Rapid as a read-only preview to make it easier to contribute missing businesses and points-of-interest to @openstreetmap 4/6

Pourquoi partir à l'autre bout du monde quand on peut simplement se rendre dans le massif des Bauges ?
Avec ses 14 sommets de plus de 2000 m, il est surnommé "Le Petit Himalaya", en référence aux 14 sommets de plus de 8000 m de la chaîne de
Printed a bone and a water Dragon this weekend. They came out amazing. My first time printing with Overture silk pla and I love the look.
I was going to give them to my niece and nephew but think I will keep them. They are too sharp for kids anyways.
Musical Interlude: Let's return to the concert hall for a rousing overture, the prelude to a musical adaptation of Lord Byron's Gothic poem "Manfred."
"Manfred Overture," composed by Robert Schumann, performed by the Frankfort Radio Symphony, conducted by Marek Janowski.
Normally I'm a fan of #Overture Filament but this roll of black refuses to behave like the PLA it's labeled as, and i can NOT get it dialed in.
It's flexy like PETG, long after cooling. I keep dropping the temperature but it keeps compressing under the weight of layers above it as if it's too fluid & bed temps seem too high too.
I'm going to have to go into stupid cold temperatures. Maybe leave the doors open?
I've wasted so much of this spool. Holler if you know its secrets.

The more frequent i start discussions in die #OpenstreetMap forum the more i understand #Overture Maps.
Its simply impossible to get people to agree on semantic meaning of tags.
Micromapping will kill OSM (besides a colourful visual map)

A kind #overture
scorned and despised as weakness:
Fine, you had your chance.
As the music swelled with the #overture, the Better Angels, in costumes, took their places. Then the curtain rose to cheers & applause.
"Elsa! You're late!" chastised Tutu. She was wearing a long, formal dress playing Elsa's evil-stepmother.
"I'm sorry, Mother!" implored Zaza. She was playing the cute, adorable princess Icy Elsa.
"Go to your room without dinner!" Tutu ordered. "Androids! See that she goes!"
"Beep, beep, boop," said six of the androids.
"Bebe, beep, boop," said Bebe.
Groundfog played Autumn, from Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
The notes swirled like an overture of colored leaves in air. A rumble of thunder joined in. The first drops of rain began to fall.
She heard the crows calling, causing #echoes between the buildings of her block. Autumn's #overture.
While bachelors flocked, she observed a golden leaf #cling a little longer to the aspen, before it gently tumbled to the ground. One last dance in the #fresh air that promised a clear night sky with #scintillating stars.

@TheSteve0 The names in the #Overture places data set seem to be limited to 255 characters. The entries with the longest names are some funny private profiles.

Any of my geo friends start playing with the #overture map data yet?
Wonder if there are any "places" with more than just a "name".
I am trying to find geo referenced objects that contain paragraphs (or more) of text data. I guess it could also be image data.
The hard part seems to be to either:
1. Find big text/image data that already has coords attached
2. Find geo data that has more than numbers and short strings for data
