Understanding IP Address Whitelisting and Its Role in Geo Location IP REST APIs
Introduction:
In the realm of modern digital security, IP address whitelisting stands as a robust and indispensable safeguard. It is a potent defense mechanism used to control access to networks and resources, ensuring that only trusted entities are permitted while unauthorized access is effectively blocked. In this article, we will delve into the concept of IP address whitelisting and explore its significance, particularly in the context of Geo Location IP REST APIs.
1. IP Address Whitelisting Demystified:
IP address whitelisting is a security practice that enables organizations to specify a list of trusted IP addresses or ranges of addresses that are allowed to access their resources or services. Essentially, it creates a virtual "whitelist" of permitted entities, granting them access while denying entry to all others.
2. The Role of IP Address Whitelisting in Geo Location IP REST APIs:
Geo Location IP REST APIs rely on the principle of IP address whitelisting to enhance security and accuracy. Here's how it comes into play:
a. Enhanced Security: By whitelisting IP addresses, Geo Location IP REST APIs ensure that only authorized and reputable sources can access sensitive geographical data. This adds an extra layer of protection against potential threats.
b. Controlled Access: Geo Location APIs often provide valuable location-based information. IP address whitelisting enables organizations to tightly control who can access and utilize this data, safeguarding its integrity.
3. How Does an IP Address REST API Get an IP Address?
Geo Location IP address REST APIs retrieve a user's IP address when a request is made to the API endpoint. The API extracts the user's IP address from the request headers, allowing it to identify the user's approximate location based on this information.
4. Implementing IP Address Whitelisting for Geo Location IP REST APIs:
a. Determine Trusted Sources: Identify the IP addresses or ranges that should be whitelisted, such as known partners, trusted users, or specific devices.
b. Configure Whitelist Rules: Implement rules in your Geo Location IP REST API that restrict access to only the whitelisted IP addresses. Any request originating from a non-whitelisted IP address is automatically denied.
c. Regularly Update and Monitor: It's crucial to keep the whitelist updated as IP addresses may change. Regularly monitor access logs and review the effectiveness of your whitelisting strategy.
Conclusion:
IP address whitelisting plays a pivotal role in securing Geo Location IP REST APIs, ensuring that only trusted sources can access and utilize valuable location-based data. By implementing this robust security measure, organizations can protect their resources, maintain data integrity, and enhance the overall security of their applications and services. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, IP address whitelisting remains a vital component of a comprehensive security strategy, especially for Geo Location IP REST APIs where data accuracy and privacy are paramount.

Amazon opens up the Sidewalk network to developers for free in the US to galvanise the IoT market
On 28th of March 2023, Amazon announced its Sidewalk network project launched in early 2020, now covers 90% of the US population and is open to developers to test, build and create new IoT applications. AWS also announced Sidewalk networks integration with AWS IoT core, enabling Sidewalk-enabled partner devices to easily provision, onboard, and monitor Sidewalk devices at scale. The service is currently available only in the US and developers can use the AWS IoT core for Amazon Sidewalk for free using the AWS Free Tier(details here)
A few companies working with Amazon have also announced the launch of sidewalk-enabled devices which includes:
New Cosmos: Natural gas alarm
Primax: Woody, a smart door lock
Netvox: environmental sensor
Meshify’s: Moisture sensor
Browan: Motion and carbon monoxide sensor
OnAsset Intelligence: Sentinel 200 Asset tracker
Is Amazon Sidewalk just a connectivity network platform?
Amazon Sidewalk communication network is one of the 3 core components of the Sidewalk Device-To-Cloud (DTC) platform which includes:
Sidewalk connectivity network: The Sidewalk network is built and operated by crowdsourcing participating customers who enable the Sidewalk network using consumer bridge devices such as the Amazon Echo and Ring devices.
Sidewalk end-devices: Includes Amazon Ring devices and third-party end-devices that are embedded with Sidewalk radio chipsets running the proprietary network protocol and security certificates required to communicate on the Sidewalk network.
Sidewalk Network Server: The Sidewalk network server verifies and routes the data packets from end devices to the application servers.
The #Sidewalk platform is a Device-to-Cloud platform that is built on a crowdsourced, shared #IoT network that connects Sidewalk end devices with enterprise applications using the #AWS IoT Core. The AWS IoT core also offers developers application-level services and security among other functionalities. The application servers hosting the end devices and applications can either use AWS or third-party cloud application services.
How does Amazon monetise the Sidewalk platform when the Sidewalk network Is free?
By integrating the Sidewalk connectivity network, with the AWS cloud services, Amazon monetizes the data sent by Sidewalk-enabled devices to the AWS cloud. As enterprises use the crowd-sourced network to connect their devices, enterprise customers are charged a small fee every time a Sidewalk device transmits data to the sidewalk network server located in the AWS IoT core. In the near term, the revenues from data alone will be negligible as most of the Sidewalk end devices at the most transmit data a dozen times per day adding to a few Kbs of data per month.
However, over time as sidewalk-enabled devices generate millions of data packets that are routed via the AWS IoT core rules engine, this will help grow its opportunity pipeline for its cloud application services. Amazon Sidewalk will help drive enterprise demand and adoption of its cloud applications especially to manage (sort and query) through large volumes of small data packets sent by end devices. AWS will gain the most value as enterprises start to build applications to leverage its consumer and industrial IoT analytics services, especially advanced analytics services (machine learning and AI services) generating new revenue streams.
Overview of the Amazon Sidewalk network technology
Amazon Sidewalk Network is a Multi-Radio Access Network(#MRAN) wireless connectivity platform used to build a crowd-sourced, community-owned, Neighbourhood Area Network (NAN). The network is powered by mostly consumer Sidewalk bridge devices that use a small fraction of the customer's internet bandwidth (~80Kbps) and share it with other sidewalk customers to create a low-bandwidth, low-power #NAN.
Amazon customers who had already set up a sidewalk gateway device (Echo Or Ring devices) at the time of the launch in early 2020, an over-the-air (#OTA) update automatically connected the edge gateway to the network. Echo or Ring customers have the option to turn off the Sidewalk network feature at any time. This OTA update route to create the Sidewalk network without customers’ prior consent is unlikely to be used in European countries with strict laws protecting customer privacy.
In return for the customer's participation, Amazon manages the network to create a city-wide network which end-users can use for free to connect their third-party sidewalk-enabled devices. The Sidewalk network is available for free to other enterprises to offer consumer and enterprise IoT solutions using Sidewalk-enabled 3rd party devices.
The Sidewalk network is built through the integration of 3 wireless connectivity technologies-
Long Range Communication: Proprietary Sub-Ghz (915 MHz ISM band) LPWAN developed on Chirp spread spectrum (CSS/LoRa) radio PHY. The LoRa Phy technology is also used in the LoRaWAN protocol, the #LPWANtechnology managed by the #LoRa Alliance. The LoRa technology is the bearer technology used for long-range communication.
Medium Range Communication: Sub-Ghz(902-928 MHz) Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) technology. This is a legacy wireless technology used in various smart home security applications such as motions sensors, contact sensors and garage door openers.
Short Range Communication: Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Phy(Bluetooth Low Energy or #BLE) operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
Identifying potential growth opportunities for the Sidewalk platform
Anchored on the Sidewalk communication network, the key strength of the Sidewalk platform is the complete integrated device-to-cloud stack. The Sidewalk platform helps enterprises easily onboard Sidewalk devices at scale and the low-cost pricing of AWS cloud services helps solution vendors reduce the overall solution TCO. A glance at the AWS IoT core price calculator will provide an indication of the cost of running devices using the Sidewalk platform.
Growth Prospects for Sidewalk Network: The Sidewalk network is currently available in the US only and covers over 90% of the population coverage. Amazon has made public its plans to expand its network footprint to other regions worldwide in the coming years. However, the success of the Sidewalk network in the US will set the pace of its network footprint growth in other regions.
Since the Sidewalk network relies on Amazon #Echo and #Ring customers, One of the recurring challenges for Amazon will be to ensure Amazon Echo and Ring customers participating in the Sidewalk programme remain high and to reduce churn.
Amazon will also need to ensure customer participation in the Sidewalk network programme remains high to ensure sufficient network redundancies are in place, in case some customers decide to turn off their Sidewalk feature from their devices. The only way Amazon can ensure the Sidewalk network continues to thrive is by ensuring participating Echo and Ring customers see immediate and recurring value in the form of new digital devices and services.
In early 2022, to address potential opportunities in the enterprise IoT market, Amazon Ring announced its #Sidewalk Bridge Pro, a ruggedised outdoor gateway. The weatherproof, enterprise-grade gateway will help Amazon expand its network coverage to public spaces such as parks, city centres, universities, businesses, and other places which are not covered by consumer echo and ring bridge devices. The Sidewalk Bridge Pro is designed to be deployed by businesses and municipalities to complement the residential network coverage.
The Sidewalk Bridge Pro will help expand the Sidewalk network by enabling:
On-demand network availability for enterprises that have an immediate demand for campus networks and are willing to host the network infrastructure.
Will help expand network coverage from existing population coverage to wider regional coverage.
The outdoor gateway devices will also help add necessary network redundancies in residential places where Amazon Ring and Echo customer participation is low or the network requires densification.
The success of the Sidewalk network will depend on the growth in the device and solution ecosystem in the US before it launches the service in other regions. The future regional network roll-out will also depend on regional privacy laws and the residential penetration of Amazon Echo and Ring bridge devices used to build the network. The Sidewalks regional network which includes LoRa and FSK technologies will operate on different sub-GHz frequency bands
Based on Amazon’s Sidewalk bridge shipment data, regional network footprint growth will likely be as follows.
Rest of North America: Canada
Europe: Western Europe followed by Eastern Europe
APAC: India, East Asia and the rest of South East Asia. No presence in China.
Rest of the world: Latin America and MEA.
As the Amazon Sidewalk network operates as a single network, when regional networks outside of the US are rolled out, Amazon can offer a roaming-free global network as long as the device's radio hardware is capable of switching to regional Sub-GHz frequency bands.
Growth Prospects for Amazon Sidewalk Devices and Applications
Amazon's Sidewalk platform strategy is focused on driving device makers’ adoption of the platform to develop sidewalk-enabled devices for enterprises and consumer applications. Amazon has announced its partnership with hardware communication module vendors including #Nordic Semiconductor, #Silicon Labs, #Semtech, Texas Instruments and #Quectel.
As the Sidewalk radio hardware matures, one of the developments to watch out for will be a single SKU global radio hardware that enterprises can embed in their devices. This would help global device OEMs and solution providers drastically reduce their design costs of having to modify their devices to operate in each region. This would also have value for enabling application verticals such as asset tracking that requires seamless connectivity across different regions.
The Sidewalk platform operates on 3 business models to target consumer and enterprise markets:
Business to consumer: Consumer IoT(Smart Home)
Ring acquired by Amazon in 2018 provides consumer home security and smart home devices. The sidewalk network supports Amazon Echo and Ring customers to connect Ring devices including doorbells, outdoor cameras, outdoor lights, and Alarm systems that are beyond the range of the home Wi-Fi network and other Personal Area Networks (PANs). The Sidewalk network's extended range capabilities will also help Ring offer new consumer devices such as pet trackers, asset trackers, outdoor irrigation systems, motion sensors and other connected devices.
Business to Business to Consumer :Consumer IoT(Smart home, asset track and trace)
The sidewalk platform is open to other enterprises that want to develop IoT devices and services for end consumers. Some examples of enterprises using the Sidewalk platform to offer consumer IoT services are as follows.
Tile, a leading consumer track and trace solution provider is one of the early adopters of the Sidewalk platform.
Speciality insurer HSB has also announced its IoT subsidiary, Meshify will connect its proprietary water leak sensors for homeowners through the Amazon Sidewalk platform.
Careband, a wearable device for elderly care, has announced plans to test the Sidewalk platform to offer services to its CareBand customers.
Amazon announced the Fetch pet tracker in early 2020 and has since been developing its cloud-geolocation service to enable more consumer asset track and trace use cases.
Business to Business: Enterprise IoT: (Smart City, Industrial IoT, Asset visibility)
Amazon Sidewalk offers system integrators and solution providers a fully integrated DTC platform to cost-efficiently test, build and operate enterprise IoT applications and services. Utilities and city municipalities deploying smart city applications such as streetlights, water meters, parking sensors, air quality sensors, and other environmental monitoring sensors will benefit from an integrated DTC platform service in reducing its solution time to market and cost. Enterprises benefit from Amazon’s vast partner network which includes software partners, hardware partners, service and consulting partners, system integrators, and distributor partners. The AWS Partner Network has more than 100,000 partners from more than 150 countries, with almost 1/3rd or 30,000 partners based in the US.
In 2022, Amazon announced a collaboration with Arizona state university and Thingy to connect environmental sensors such as sunlight sensors, air quality indicators, and moisture sensors in places like commercial centres, parks, and wilderness areas.
Asset Visibility(Location tracking and condition monitoring): Asset track and trace applications have been a key vertical use case for the sidewalk network. Amazon has been partnering with solution vendors to develop its platform capabilities to offer more seamless and accurate geolocation services. In November 2022, Semtech announced a strategic agreement with AWS to license its LoRa cloud geolocation services to help AWS IoT core offer indoor and outdoor geolocation capability.
On March 28, 2023, Amazon announced its Sidewalk solution partner, #OnAssetintelligence, introduce its Sentinel 200, a Sidewalk-enabled asset tracker for logistics use cases. The Sentinel 200, is a multi-year battery life device with temperature, humidity, light, shock and motion sensors that provide timely and granular data on the location, status and chain-of-custody of shipments and assets moving through the global supply chain.
The sidewalk platform in its current form lacks several key network requirements to succeed in the B2B segment. One of the key network capabilities missing today is the Sidewalk Networks ability to guarantee network quality of service (QoS). However, The Sidewalk platform with its free communication network offers enterprises an opportunity to test proofs-of-concept at a minimal cost and examine the financial feasibility of digital transformation programmes.
Analyst view: “A rising tide lifts all boats��but those unable to change and adapt will fail”
With Sidewalk, Amazon integrates device-to-cloud data management capabilities with a communication network to offer simplicity to the enterprise's digital transformation programs. Device-to-cloud platforms that integrate multi-RAN technologies is a solution to reduce technology complexity. That said, the success of the Sidewalk platform will depend on how quickly the technology's adopted by device makers and enterprises to develop innovative new applications and services.
A cautionary tale: Sigfox, an early pioneer of the low-cost Device to Cloud platform using a proprietary LPWA network technology.
To give credit where it's due, #Sigfox was an early pioneer and strong advocate of a low-cost device-to-cloud (DTC) platform to address the market demand for massive IoT applications. Sigfox believed for enterprises to adopt massive IoT applications which may require deploying 100sK or millions of battery-operated sensor devices, it's crucial to drastically simplify the process and cost of transporting data from the device to the cloud. Sigfox was an advocate of the need for very low network TCO to encourage enterprise digital transformation.
To achieve this, Sigfox built its own DTC platform from the ground up based on its proprietary LPWA network also called Sigfox. Sigfox built and operated its cloud services located in Toulouse, France and only in 2021 had migrated its Sigfox network server to Google IoT core(which also shut down in 2022).
Sigfox launched its device-to-cloud platform services at around $1-$7 per annum per device. The cost varied depending on the volume of end-point connections but included regional sigfox connectivity service and sigfox cloud services. Sigfox as a disruptive technology faced severe criticism for its extremely low device-to-cloud connectivity pricing strategy and lack of financial viability to continue operating several of its large nationwide and citywide networks in Europe and the US respectively.
Sigfox witnessed some early success in smart home, smart metering and asset tracking use cases connecting almost 20 million end-points on its network within a span of 5 years. However, due several factors including financial difficulties due to slow revenue growth and the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic led to Sigfox filing for bankruptcy in early 2022.
Sigfox assets were subsequently acquired by Unabiz, a Sigfox network operator and system integrator. Unabiz in collaboration with over 60 Sigfox network operators is managing the sigfox technology and developing integrated solutions for enterprise Digital transformation.
Amazon Sidewalk in many ways has a similar business model to Sigfox. Similar to Sigfox, the Amazon sidewalk platform offers very low-cost device-to-cloud connectivity, but with several strengths to ensure longer-term sustainability of the business.
By crowd-sourcing the network, majority of the network infrastructure costs required to build and operate the Sidewalk network (except for the Sidewalk Network server) are borne by its Amazon Echo and Ring customers.
The sidewalk network integrates 3 established network technologies ie. LoRa, FSK and BLE. These technologies are backed by a global ecosystem of hardware and solution vendors.
The sidewalk platform has a strong anchor business use case in its successful smart home business. Amazon Ring uses the Sidewalk network to expand its connectivity coverage for security sensors, lights, cameras and other sensor devices in the periphery of the customer's home and beyond.
The total cost of ownership (TCO) for solutions built on the Sidewalk platform will be a fraction of similar existing solutions using cellular or other LPWAN solutions in the market. The cost of BLE and LoRa connectivity hardware is sub $1 at scale. With free connectivity and the cost of the device to cloud platform service at a few 10s of US$ cents per device per annum, the Sidewalk platform drastically helps reduce the TCO for digital products and services.
AWS partner network consists of over 100,000 partners globally consisting of solution developers, system integrators, hardware partners, consultants and distributors.
The Sidewalk platform is integrated with the AWS IoT core which has over 200 services including machine learning and advanced analytics services.
Will Sidewalk complement or compete with other LoraWAN operators in the US?
There are several existing LoRaWAN service providers in the US including:
Public network operators: #Comcast #MachineQ, Senet and more recently Everynet.
Community networks: LoRiot, Things network and #Helium.
Private networks: #Senet, Comcast, Link Labs, and other enterprise customers.
Senet and Everynet two established LoRaWAN operators have deployed regional network infrastructure and offer it to enterprises in a Network as a Service (NaaS) model. Amazon Sidewalk network will compete with public network service providers but will potentially complement system integrators, solution vendors and other enterprise private networks. As the Sidewalk network footprint grows, it will become difficult for these public network operators to justify their connectivity costs compared to a free network. That said, Amazon Sidewalk which uses LoRa for long-range connectivity could benefit from partnering with LoRaWAN-managed network operators such as Senet and Everynet to densify its city-wide network and expand its geographical network footprint, especially in rural and industrial areas.
Nova Labs, Helium Network is one of the largest community-owned LoRaWAN networks in the US(coverage map-https://explorer.helium.com/iot/cities) and will directly compete with Amazon's Sidewalk Network. The Helium network has nearly a million hotspots running the LoRaWAN and is available in over 163 countries. Helium operates its LoRaWAN by rewarding its hotspot owners with blockchain-powered tokens that are generated for transferring device data to the cloud. Today Helium network has nearly 100 device makers and solution providers using the Helium network to offer IoT solutions.
System integrators such as Comcast MachineQ will benefit from leveraging the Sidewalk network by minimizing its network infrastructure costs and using its resources to develop vertical IoT applications and services for end customers.
Will Amazon Sidewalk complement or compete with Telcos Cellular LPWAN services in the US?
AT&T, #Verizon and #tmobile : Cellular LPWA network (#LTEM & #NBIoT) with nationwide coverage since early 2018. Teclos in the US has been monetizing its NB-IoT and LTE-M networks by offering connectivity services and several end-to-end solutions for enterprise customers. Today, Telcos cellular LPWAN connectivity services vary from $12-$36/device/annum and are calculated based on the end device’s data usage. Telcos have struggled to monetize their LPWA network infrastructure with connectivity service alone and have developed a three-pronged monetization strategy. Telcos in the US today offer enterprises a choice of IoT connectivity and/or software platform and/or end-to-end IoT solutions built through an ecosystem of hardware and solution partners.
Amazon Sidewalk will directly compete with telcos’ LTE-M and NB-IoT networks and their consumer smart home(B2C and B2B2C) offerings with the Sidewalk network. Furthermore, with Sidewalk Bridge Pro, Amazon will also be able to target enterprise IoT(B2B) applications such as smart buildings, smart parking, environmental monitoring etc where telcos offer connectivity services and/or end-to-end solutions.
That said, a heterogeneous network architecture that integrates cellular networks and the Sidewalk network will further augment the Sidewalk platform in addressing a broad range of enterprise IoT solution requirements. Cellular LPWA network's nationwide coverage will also help the sidewalk platform address applications such as outdoor asset-tracking requiring broader geographical coverage, lower latency and frequent data transmissions.
Will Amazon Sidewalk complement or compete with Mesh networking technologies used in smart city applications in the US?
Mesh networking technologies based on IEEE 802.15.4(#Zigbee, #Thread) and #Zwave are two dominant connectivity technologies used in smart home applications. Proprietary LPWAN technologies such as LoRa and Sigfox are more energy efficient and hence have gained market share in the smart home market replacing mesh technologies to connect battery-operated sensor devices. The extended range of capabilities of LPWAN technologies has an advantage over Wi-Fi and mesh network technologies that require additional gateway or bridge devices to extend the network range to basements or the periphery of the homes.
Mesh networking technologies also have a growing market share in several smart city applications such as smart metering, parking and smart street lighting. These applications’ network requirements are currently addressed through the deployment of private networks. The sidewalk network is likely to have little to no impact in these segments until it can guarantee network QoS which is a critical application and business requirement

There was information circulating on the Internet that Falconer was in the bad blood group not by choice. I don’t know how true it is, but I decided to write a fanfic that tells how this could happen
I want to warn you that I am not a native English speaker and do not count myself among the group of good writers, but I hope this will be readable
Warning
maybe Berserker/Falconer
I never thought that in pursuit of freedom I would end up like a bird in a cageSince childhood, I believed that I was different from my relatives, while others were eager to fight, I paved the way to the unknown, to what seemed alien and meaningless to others, expanding my range with new knowledge, studying foreign cultures and behavior. Striving for perfection, you begin to understand that no matter how graceful a hunter you are, you can always be beaten, covered with self-confidence, you lose your vigilance, excessive emotionality always loses to a cold mind.
I have devoted most of my life to the study of space and living organisms. Having become a pathfinder, this became my full-time task, preserving the newly acquired information. Developments in technology have opened new paths for me. improving weapons, updating systems, bringing everything to the edge of what is possible and permitted. There were also borders, there was no chance of conducting our own production for a variety of weapons and additional amenities. borders had their inconveniences, and every time attempts to get around them ended in refusal and pointlessly wasted time. Without approval there were no resources, the idea of hidden production made no sense in this case. It was not possible to travel through space without permission, constantly asking for permission for this or that expedition. The only thing that was approved as a single copy was a wrist reconnaissance device that imitated the flying creatures I loved.
That day, I conducted a successful test of its performance and efficiency in completing assigned tasks on a planet that was part of a dense jungle. Until some moment it seemed to me that I was alone here, it seemed.
a demonstrative crash of a figure landing several pounds away. An unfamiliar hunter was slowly approaching me. There was no threat coming from him, but it seemed to me that I had never seen him before; the red tassels on his dreadlocks stood out against the background of the rest. he offered me a deal where everyone can get what they want. At the time it seemed like a harmless proposal, but I should have thought twice about what I was doing.
firmware equipment, disabling geolocation, this should already have aroused suspicion, but my new acquaintance sounded quite convincing, convincing me that there was nothing wrong with this, or that I was too naive then. in return, I was given my own shuttle, the supply of the necessary resources and complete freedom of action to carry out my instructions. At the slightest doubt, Berserker rubbed into my gained trust. This was his plan, I was deceived and I myself let him get away with everything. I understood that what I was doing was against the rules, but I didn’t realize their seriousness until it went too far.
It all started small, supplying prey from different parts of the galaxy. Our hunt did not go anywhere near the code. The berserker did not disdain any method of elimination, starting with shooting a plasma gun at an unarmed victim, ending with torturing prey with traps, bringing him to exhaustion and suffering until death for his own pleasure. and if the prey managed to give a worthy rebuff, there can be no question of any fair fight.he can play with her at first, performing in hand-to-hand combat, but in the event of the slightest defeat, under the pressure of his emotionality and impulsiveness, he deals with her in the most dishonest and vile way, it is impossible to win, he dictates the rules and they are constantly changing. but the peak was what I saw in the trophy camp. Then it became obvious that I had not only fallen into the clutches of a heretic, but had also become part of it. Fratricide. I didn't want to be a part of this, but it was too late.
The metal door opened and the young hunter climbed aboard the ship. he was behind Berserker, a slight tension hung in the air. Heretic was distracted from polishing the skull, paying attention to the figure standing behind him - Why such a defensive position? - The falconer glared at him with an incredulous, condemning look, nevertheless raising his voice - Atturi is in the camp, did you know about this? “He still wanted to believe that it was some kind of mistake.” A grin broke out on the heretic’s face, something like a smile; there was not a drop of regret in his gazehe indifferently took a couple of steps to the side, turning over a human skull in his hands, already polished to perfection - Are you talking about that pathetic hunter? “Berserker asked a rhetorical question with some arrogance, after which he turned towards his companion. — In my opinion, everyone here does their own thingresponsibilities - He took several decisive steps towards the falconer, standing in front of him at a distance of one meter - Other work should not concern you - There was a distinct hint of threat in his voice. The falconer face burned with disgust and condemnation, which amused the Berserker.It’s clear that there’s nothing left to talk about - I’m not going to have anything to do with this, I’m leaving. - He turned around demonstratively and headed towards the exit - No one is keeping you here - Falconer slowed down, listening to the elder’s words. The berserker followed him, standing behind the hunter. “But do you really think that they will take you back?” His clawed paw rested on the falcon neck at shoulder level. His words cast doubt on what had previously been floating around in Falconer's thoughts. his sudden disappearance could cause a lot of suspicion, without proper alebi his deeds could be revealed, and then what? Serve the rest of your life at the lowest level of caste or be sentenced to death, one option is better than the other. he raised his incredulous gaze towards Berserker, his doubt was visible in it, the stabbing truth still kept him here. - Do you want to go back to where you will become nobody again? - He walked forward, standing between the exit and Falcon, bending slightly to meet his gaze, his palmshe fingered the ranger's dreadlocks, pulling one of them towards her, still holding it in her hands. - Be realistic, birdie

One night this past February, over drinks and moody bar lighting in Brooklyn, Eric Green and his friends were swapping stories of their recent hookups when one mentioned they’d used the app Sniffies to have public sex. A 30-year-old tattoo artist who works in Bushwick, Brooklyn, Green identifies as a bottom, is a frequent user of dating apps, and has an active sex life—only, he’d never heard of Sniffies.
It wasn’t long after that night out, Green was overtaken by “complete and total horniness” while at home, and decided to sign up himself. When he opened the app he was reminded of Google Maps, only instead of restaurants and shopping recommendations, he was inundated with nudes and suggestions for the nearest pump-and-dump. “I expected it to be like Grindr and Jack’d, but after I checked it out I realized it was super accessible,” Green says, referencing two other popular queer hookup platforms. “More accessible than any other app.”
Access is Sniffies’ main selling point. A map-based cruising platform for men of all sexual identifications (gay, bi, DL, and straight-curious—yes, you read that right), Sniffies has become something like an adults-only Disneyland for queer men interested in sex-positive, no-strings-attached casual encounters. “We really focus on in-the-moment connections,” says Eli Martin, the company’s chief marketing officer and creative director. “On other apps, it’s not always clear what people’s intentions are—some people want to find a boyfriend, others just want to look around—but on Sniffies, we try to make it clear that people are fulfilling their sexual desires and fetishes.”
Sniffies is not your typical dating app, or a dating app at all, really. In lieu of the typical song and dance on Tinder or Bumble, where conversations are bogged down in endless chatter that often never materializes into an IRL meeting, on Sniffies you can anonymously browse a map of guys looking for sex with other guys. Along with web-apps BKDR (short for backdoor), Motto, and Doublelist (think a more streamlined Craigslist personals), it has reignited an appeal in cruising culture that for so long had been taboo, even among certain queer circles, for fear of acceptance or health concerns.
“Destigmatizing casual sex has been our biggest hurdle in general,” says Martin. “It’s been ingrained in us to be monogamous, but we should have this sexual freedom. Cruising doesn’t have to be seedy or something that only happens in back alleys.” Thankfully, he says, that’s changing. “In the last couple of years, we’ve been able to enjoy it more without as much judgment, but it was still hard on day one, because I was like, how do we create an app that’s [not only cool] but going to continually push people to engage in?”
Launched in 2018, Sniffies was the brainchild of former Seattle-based architect Blake Gallagher. A problem-solver by nature, Gallagher was fascinated by the way urban environments influence sexual interactions. He wanted to better augment natural human connection in public spaces, and decided to implement a map feature and geolocation technology as the basis for Sniffies—tapping into what author Jack Parlett calls “the democratic potential of cruising.” Gallagher first tested his idea in Seattle and, with the help of his brother Grant, a programmer, slowly built Sniffies into what it is today—a “cruising app for the curious” with an increasing global reach.
“We really push for the physical aspect of getting off your phone and out and about,” Martin says. And it’s paying off. According to data shared with WIRED, the US cities that see the most action—that is, the horniest cities—are Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Chicago, and Atlanta. (These figures are based on the highest number of sessions within a geographic area.) London saw a 475 percent growth in usership from 2022 to 2023, and Vancouver is Sniffies’ most discreet city.
Green says he uses the app twice a week “if I’m actually going to meet up with somebody, but I will go on there and scroll every so often.” (His last name was changed to protect his privacy.) According to the company, the average Sniffies user identifies as vers (25.6 percent of total users), has a penis size of 6.67 inches, prefers to cruise a park, restroom, or a residential tower of some sort, is into edging and cum play, and is most likely having sex on Mondays. Since joining, Green describes his time on Sniffies as “kinda calm,” compared to his friends. The encounters he has had, he says, have been “from apartment to apartment, nothing outside or in the gym.”
BKDR is another rising player among the burgeoning world of queer cruising apps. Eric Silverberg says users on Scruff and Jack’d—sister apps to BKDR (all three are owned by Perry Street Software)—were identifying “a clear desire for a platform that prioritized sexual expression and sex.” Cruising has occurred for centuries, he says, and an app like BKDR is a “direct, no-nonsense product that allows people to get on and get off in a very literal sense.”
The demand certainly seems to be there—and the potential for such apps is only growing. Although BKDR launched less than a year ago, it has already expanded to Latin America and Europe. “It’s early days for us, but over 1 million people have visited BKDR in the past month,” Silverberg tells me, adding, “We think it will be the biggest product in our portfolio.”
Growth brings its own set of problems, however. A recent Reddit post detailed how a more conservative kind of user now inhabits the Sniffies. “Now that [the app] is getting really popular in some places there are a ton of guys on the map in my area and most of them are just there to waste your time. I'm looking for [a] hookup right now,” user @curiousFriend2 wrote. “Sniffies used to cater to lowkey guys and even some cumdumps and the more sleezy side, but now the Grindr crowd [has] come in and a lot of them are not even into those things and publicly announce it.”
Sniffies took off following the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020, and Martin believes the isolation of the pandemic led to users being more open-minded about cruising. “People’s mindset changed to realize that they want to take advantage of the moment,” he says.
That’s mainly what Green is after most days, though he says he tries not to use Sniffies as a crutch. “It’s cool to go on during my downtime—late at night or early in the morning,” he says, “because I actually have stuff to do, and I don’t want to throw my day looking for dudes,” he says, before adding that “if you’re solely looking for fun,” it’s unbeatable.

The weird thing about hsr is that it is a space setting story. And not every powerful character can fly. It's not like in marvel, where iron man can literally show up flying, or dr strange can open portals.
Hoolay is a menace, but can he FLY. Is he good at mechanics? How good is geolocation technology is the hsr verse?
Forget throwing the guy into a star, what's stopping the xianzhou from putting him on a random planet and just leaving him there? It's not like he can superjump himself a few light years away.
#so hoolay#abomination of the abundance#is coming towards the xianzhou in a ship#and they disable the ships motors somehow#and now he is just floating in a tin can#like?#it feels a bit goofy to think about the mechanics of space warfare deeper#why are there still foot soldiers?#is it a viable strategy for the xz ships to just move away from attacking fleets?#wish powerscaling and technology were more consistent#hsr

Shadowfax Rolls Out AI-Backed Address Intelligence System For Seamless Deliveries
SUMMARY
Shadowfax launches SF Maps, an AI-powered address intelligence system for accurate deliveries.
2. The new system predicts customer locations with over 90% accuracy within 100 meters, reducing cancellations by 10%.
3. SF Maps uses artificial neural networks and real-time data integration to navigate India’s complex addressing system.
Shadowfax, India’s leading provider of cutting-edge e-commerce logistics solutions, proudly introduces SF Maps, an advanced AI-based address intelligence system designed to enhance delivery accuracy and efficiency. This innovative tool predicts customer locations with unparalleled precision, setting a new industry standard with over 90% accuracy within 100 meters of the intended destination. SF Maps greatly improves navigation for delivery partners, thereby assisting e-commerce platforms and Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) brands in reducing cancellations due to address inaccuracies on their platforms.
In contrast to standardized address formats prevalent in Western countries, Indian addresses often lack structure, are susceptible to language and understanding-based gaps, and are highly prone to input error posing challenges in pinpointing exact locations during delivery. SF Maps addresses these complexities by leveraging a sophisticated AI/ML model trained on a vast dataset of Shadowfax’s past deliveries and pickups exceeding 1.5 billion data points. This model adeptly handles incomplete addresses, ambiguous area names, reliance on distant landmarks, and inaccurate pincodes, ensuring smoother operations. Further, precise navigation to customer addresses enables seamless deliveries without the need for additional calls, effectively reducing instances of missed deliveries and improving overall efficiency. Since the introduction of SF Maps, Shadowfax has achieved a significant reduction in customer cancellations or RTOs (Return to Origin) by almost 10% and boosted customer Net Promoter Score (NPS) by 25%.
Vaibhav Khandelwal, Chief Technology Officer at Shadowfax, “SF Maps represents a significant leap forward in our mission to optimize the delivery speed and elevate customer experience while solving fundamental problems in last-mile logistics. This innovative AI model trained on our vast set of historical delivery data drives significant operational efficiencies for us. We deeply understand the problems that arise due to incomplete addresses and how it hinders further innovation and hence we aim to make this AI model generally available for research in the future.”
Under the hood, SF Maps uses an in-house Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based embedding model, trained using a Siamese Network architecture. The generated embeddings are fed into VectorDB and the extracted locations are passed through H3 geospatial indexing, further fine-tuning location intelligence. This custom-built model captures complex contextual relationships between address components and their geographical associations, leveraging deep learning algorithms to discern intricate patterns for more accurate location-based intelligence. The underlying algorithms and design architecture allow SF Maps to be a self-correcting engine that captures changing ground operations realities. The feedback loop is powered by real-time delivery partner geolocations that Shadowfax captures every 5 seconds while they are on their platform. Shadowfax also deploys a WhatsApp-based conversational bot that interacts with customers and gathers address information for improved results and error correction.

New lunar distress system could safeguard future astronauts
A team of international scientists has taken a significant step towards making lunar exploration safer, proposing a distress monitoring and rescue system designed for the moon's unique and challenging environment.
As NASA's Artemis program aims to establish a long-term human presence on the moon, astronauts will be exposed to high-risk situations in remote areas like the lunar south pole.
A project led by the University of South Australia (UniSA), addresses the critical need for an emergency system capable of providing safety alerts, incident reporting, and location tracking of astronauts in distress.
Researchers from Adelaide and the US are designing a satellite constellation that prioritizes communication and geolocation on the moon's surface. Using this system, astronauts will be able to send distress signals to a network of satellites that will relay the information back to Earth or other lunar bases.
The system is based on the COSPAS-SARSAT technology already used for search and rescue on Earth, adapted for lunar conditions.
Dr. Mark Rice, a UniSA adjunct researcher and founder of Safety from Space, says the distress system could allow continuous communication with astronauts for up to 10 hours, even in the most challenging terrain, such as craters or mountains.
"Our team has also developed a waveform that supports low-power emergency beacons, ensuring that communication remains possible with minimal infrastructure and energy consumption," Dr. Rice says.
"This innovation is a critical advancement for space exploration. As humans venture further into space, the ability to quickly locate and rescue individuals in distress is vital. By creating a robust search and rescue system for the moon, this research sets the foundation for similar systems on other planets, potentially revolutionizing how we approach human safety in space exploration."
Closer to home, the technology—called Beagle—has been described as a "game changer" for two-way emergency communications when applied to Earth-based search and rescue operations. This would enhance emergency response efforts in remote and hazardous locations, potentially saving countless lives, the researchers say.
The work was presented to the International Communications and Satellite Systems conference.

How Artificial Intelligence Will Change the Future of Marketing
Businesses have used artificial intelligence in several operations, and marketing is no exception to this phenomenon. Corporations want to know the impact of AI on marketing research outsourcing to evaluate whether to invest research budgets in artificial intelligence applications. This post will summarize the different aspects of the future of AI in marketing.
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Marketing?
Artificial intelligence integrates extensive machine learning models to facilitate the engineering and deployment of self-aware technologies. Therefore, market intelligence firms explore the use cases of AI in marketing.
How is AI used in advanced marketing techniques? Adaptation intelligence can help you identify customer segments more efficiently and anonymously. AI solutions save your time and company resources by identifying new opportunities through market research outsourcing.
Besides, AI systems become smarter with time and usage. So, corporations increasingly rely on them for cost optimization and budget projection. Both paid and organic marketing techniques benefit from AI. Likewise, you can develop multiple marketing campaigns targeting precise geolocation. Companies can also offer personalization services without exposing personal data.
Impact of AI on Marketing
1| Automated Moderation in Community Marketing
Community-based marketing involves creating online spaces where consumers, employees, and other stakeholders can interact proactively. You can often create invitation-only communities for different customer tiers. Consider market research outsourcing to discover trends and strategies in community marketing.
The exclusivity of private or restricted communities helps you review the content without being overwhelmed. After all, customers pay for the membership indirectly when purchasing a product or service from you. However, many brands have publicly available online communities that act as consumer education platforms.
The effectiveness of community marketing relies on creating a healthy environment to make different customer segments feel welcome and appreciated. Simultaneously, uncivilized behaviors threaten the appeal of online communities. Therefore, market intelligence firms recommend using AI-powered content moderation tools for community marketing. E.g., protecting community members from online harassment and spam.
2| AI Used in Chatbot Marketing
Conversational AI chatbots recreate social media messaging experience for website visitors and virtual helpdesks. These techniques, used by market intelligence firms, combine natural language processing (NLP) capabilities with intuitive user interfaces.
Therefore, you feel like you are talking to an actual human. Meanwhile, an algorithm interacts with you from beyond the screen. Moreover, the AI responses are less formulaic or predictable, unlike the scripted chatbots. So, you get contextual messages and a more organic feel. Modern chatbots highlight the future of AI in marketing, where any company can use always-on, lead nourishing interactions.
AI chatbots can also improve market research outsourcing by converting online customer surveys into more personable messages. For example, AI chatbot marketing can collect data on a consumer’s profession via exciting conversations instead of an empty form field accompanied by boring instructions.
3| How is AI Used in Targeted Marketing?
Online marketing is no longer an optional activity, but it is a highly competitive landscape. Therefore, all corporations must leverage market intelligence firms to explore and implement AI-powered targeted bid optimization.
Keyword research and bidding for targeted marketing slots on a website or a video are important considerations in digital marketing management. Artificial intelligence firms streamline these processes by facilitating automated bid adjustments for increased exposure in paid marketing techniques.
Targeted marketing helps you create memorable customer experiences using personal or demographic characteristics data.
Consider how a young medical student has different priorities than a married person with two kids who is about to retire. So, AI-enabled targeted marketing will adjust your bids to achieve a greater impact. This facility prevents inefficient spending on irrelevant ad impressions.
Conclusion
The future of AI in marketing is promising on multiple fronts. AI chatbots enhance consumer engagement while making market research outsourcing surveys more dynamic. Artificial intelligence also helps you maximize the effectiveness of your marketing campaign via smart auto-bidding.
AI is crucial to increasing the reliability of automated content moderation tools used in community marketing. Besides, reputable firms utilize artificial intelligence to validate consumer responses in market research.

I love Other!Darbys because they can take on so many different ways and forms and basically act as the gateway for, well, the others around them.
Speaking of which, what will freak out Cybertronians more? Sentient guardian statues, portraits with trapped souls (both the willing and the not), or strange metal beings of brass and bronze and beautiful, fantastical creatures within their exposed ribcage of gold and glass?
Or perhaps these technological aliens with inbuilt navigation tools would be far more terrified by liminal spaces? Cybertronians would be used to repetitive scenery, but not when their internal geolocation completely stops working and communication systems malfunction. To wander aimlessly without end in the woods, in the desert, on the street, within a warehouse, near the train station with only silence and yourself as company.
Perhaps they fear nature as humans do or perhaps more intensely? Cybertron has been wholly tamed and reconfigured to meet its main inhabitants' specs. The greater predators hunted to extinction or domesticated to their needs. Cybertron doesn't have wild, tempestuous weather phenomena; their climate can be controlled to a certain extent, especially with mecha with sigma abilities. But what do they know of tornados and tsunami, avalanches and earthquakes, and wild storms that indiscriminately break or consume everything in its pathway?
Did you know there are plants that use fire in their life cycle, comments a human ally. From smoke and char and heat to activate their seed dispersal from wildfire. It's one of the adaptations of pyrophytes.
No. I didn't, says a Cybertronian and thinks it's absolutely strange that the living organic matter thrives off its own destruction but still sits to learn more of fire ecology.
