MOSAIC is Done!
>> Ninety days from now, about three-quarters of the general aviation fleet will be accessible to sport pilots and those exercising sport pilot privileges. One year from now, new and modern aircraft will begin entering the fleet with minimal certification costs.
In this particular case it was just a proof-of-concept, albeit at scale. We did not run a proper ground-truthing process but people actually running that type of data model in production could have ground-truthed the analytic model if they wanted to.
However, it turns out that thousands of people like to talk about their flights on social media, so we scraped that as a spot check and it mostly lined up perfectly. Good enough for a demo and it would have been difficult to come up with an alternative explanation for the patterns in the data.
The purpose of the PoC was to sell the data analysis infrastructure that made that type analysis possible at scale, it wasn't about the data per se. It was a compelling demo we invented given the data that happened to be available. Startup life.

For fun edge cases, there's always Antarctica, where you can travel from a US base (which looks like you're in the US) to a NZ base (which looks like you're in NZ) in a couple of minutes: https://brr.fyi/posts/credit-card-shenanigans
i don't have any special knowledge in this area, but just thinking about it idly while sitting here, "robbing their homes while they are away" comes to mind as a good proxy.
Reminds me of this news story of footballer John Terry who's house was robbed because he posted a picture of him on holiday. The insurance company tried to use a 'reasonable care' clause of home insurance to deny his insurance claim.
FYI the source you posted never claimed that John Terry's insurance tried to deny the claim, only mentioning that "some" insurance companies warn of it. However even that claim is questionable, because it isn't even from an insurance company, it's from a content marketing piece by an insurance comparison website.
Wouldn’t that mean all celebrities are uninsurable? If politician/singer/athlete has a public away event, there is little they can do to obscure that fact.
Basically a plot line on the show “Black List”. Had an inside guy at the post office who would forward people stopping mail delivery on vacation. Then used homes as safe houses.
That didn’t make the strike or its messaging any less valid. Employers frequently strongarm politicians to make strikes and organized action illegal, at which point a dangerous precedence is set and violence is often the ultimate outcome.
If your job is so important that a strike should be illegal, then that job should also compensate you and your colleagues so well that a strike isn’t even a remote consideration. ATC was being treated like shit, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to strike.
And now in 2025, literally everything they struck against (outdated tech, short staffing, high burnout, low wages) is still here, and still causing harm.
a) They won't use AI to fact check reports submitted when those reports stand to make them money.
b) They can't/wont use the dragnet for daily petty revenue enforcement because then people will complain about it and it'll get reigned in and they won't be able to use it for that and all the other things people don't want them using it for.
