gleapsite··on Drug cartel assassinates its enemies with bomb-toting drones
> violate both a personal code and what I imagine to be the spirit of HN.

Thanks for throwing up the Ethics flag.

Discussing/brainstorming this in a public forum is volunteering your brainpower in support of murderers.

gleapsite··on Launch HN: Quell (YC S20) – Immersive gaming and combat workout
I'd love to see your interpretation of rails shooter like "The House of the Dead."

I'm imagining a branching "storyline"/exercise routine. One path might have many very weak enemies that take somewhat precise combos where another might have stronger minibosses where its a slugfest.

gleapsite··on Pirate Act: what the law says and how it threatens pirate radio stations
A long time ago I used an rtlsdr hooked up via usb-otg in order to track aircraft [1].

I'd be really interested in a minified version that didnt need the otg dongle. Or even a stand alone battery operated sdr that could be controlled with bluetooth? I dunno how big that market is, especially absent a network like you propose.

gleapsite··on I hate living in my tiny house
I assume you're using hyperbole, but there are zones you can build dormitories in.

There are also a few places without zoning regulations.

gleapsite··on Time to Get Serious about Tick-Borne Diseases
Opossums and guinea fowl are both great at finding and eating large volumes of ticks.
gleapsite··on The Sinister Brutalism of Shipping Container Architecture
I believe most of the structural strength of a container is in the box frame rather than the skin.
gleapsite··on Soil Erosion: Why soil is disappearing from farms
Certainly prevalent forms of argiculture are akin to surface mining. My property is surrounded on three sides by a rotated field (corn, wheat, soy etc) and there's a 12-18" drop along those edges of my property line, persumably as the soil was extracted in plant form.

However I believe there are forms of soil agriculture that aren't surface mining such as a short rotation coppice. The primary molecular structures being extracted are lignin and cellulose, which are comprised of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (that is, water and air sources).
