What was this in response to?

Attention spans.

Ahh, fair. I misread that.

The US went off the gold standard in 1971 and OP is talking about 10 years ago, so 2016.

Disregard. The commenter is referring to the 100 or so years ago.

I can’t say that it has broad interest, but he FAA in the US publishes weather reports from many airports in the US called “METAR”. There is a publicly-accessible API you can use and the data is updated hourly or more and it contains a date-time group so you can check freshness of the data.

I have no idea. I used a web translator.

Well, part of that is owed to the fact they were basically using a speaking code, Cockney.

That’s got to be a great photo, too!

The tide swings can get pretty large in any season on the bay; there’s also wind-effect tides as well. This photo could be nearly anywhere, my guess is just conjecture from seeing what looks like brackish water and a dilapidated covered dock.

I’m willing to bet somewhere on the Chesapeake.

The device was not an ordinary smart watch made by Apple or Samsung, but a special type that US Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) had mandated the woman wear at all times, allowing the agency to track her. The device was beeping when she entered the hospital, indicating she needed to charge it, and she worried that if the battery died, ICE agents would think she was trying to disappear, the hospital workers recalled. She told them that, just days earlier, she had been put on a deportation flight to Mexico, but the pilot refused to let her fly because she was so close to giving birth.

This situation is still fucked up.

Uh, I don’t know that

Or to Stranger in a Strange Land, at least the very beginning.

However you go about it, keep it simple. If it’s complicated or a chore to do, compliance will likely fall off and you might not maintain it.

I do the YMD thing with folders, but fail to do the text file; it’s not a deal killer for me, but there are times we have to figure out what on earth we were doing. We can get a lot of contextual clues from the photos themselves. Depending on what you’re shooting, establishing shots can be really helpful.

Folders get YYYY-MM-DD, files get whatever they get. A simple text.txt file get placed in each folder describing the photos of that day.

When you borrow $1M from the bank, it’s your problem. When you borrow $100M, it’s the bank’s problem.
