The eHang 184 looks like a device to decapitate many people quickly, or capping kneecaps while on the ground.

The Volocopter (with 18 rotors above instead of 8 below) looks like a much more reasonable and fault tolerant concept (that has actually had manned flights for years).

EDIT to add: lazy journalists - "World’s First Passenger Drone Unveiled In China" in 2018, while the Volocopter had its first manned flight in 2016 [1] and been flying around in Dubai 2017 [2]... Ignorance is excusable, but not doing even a cursory internet check isn't really.

How do you plan to handle the social interactions? I expect they're going to be skipped on lots of invites / activities organised on platforms which are phone-only. Not a criticism of the idea - just curious what's your approach here.
> not mainly for the music (which I like mostly), but for the atmosphere

He for me it's actually the other way around. Well, sort of: I really go for the music or more specifically for dancing hours in row. It does get me in a trance and that is the main aspect which makes me return home more happy and enthusiastic as you call it (too bad that effect doesn't last long but that's something else). But this wouldn't be possible without the atmosphere: I can only dance like a maniac because it feels ok there, exactly because no one cares and/or does what I do. The feeling of unity is very strong at goa parties, possibly the strongest of all genres I've been to. Even if I barely talked to anyone for a whole night, I exchanged smiles with many strangers and felt like we all wanted the same thing. It's a pity this only exists for more underground parties; other genres have this as well (punk and all subgenres, acidcore and the likes, some techno but definitely not all/everywhere). Society would be a better place if people would behave like this always and everywhere including daily life. So it's a pity not everyone experiences this.

Note I wouldn't be too fast blaming alcohol for problems at other parties i.e. I'm not convinced there's a causal relationship. There's quite a lot of drinking at trance/... parties as well, and I yet have to see parties where apart from alcohol no other drugs get used. I think it's more of a correlation between the type of people and their general mindset and the use of alcohol and the abberant behavior and those people not going to trance parties.
Mid forties? I used to go to acid house clubs in 1988/9 (I think) and to Goa parties around 1992-4. I was surprised it's still a thing in 2019 apparently when I noticed a poster for an event in rural north/east Germany very similar to the flyers I knew from the early/mid '90s.

Though I have to agree with what others said: the taxonomy doesn't look representative of what was actually played, at all. For example, there was a label in my home town (Spirit Zone, with upbeat/dirty and sometimes dark Goa sound) not being mentioned, nor is the 1990's Dub scene, though another genre is described as originating from Hamburg I've never heard of. Also, I think the Berlin scene really ought to be mentioned, not only the legendary 90s tresor and e-werk clubs, but also the mid-90s ambient and drum+bass scene which had strong influence on what today is called psytrance I guess. Some of the better-known artists (live musicians more than DJs) are still in business as techno grandaddies eg https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9v-dRr2T6us .
But why does the music at the party have to be so specific?
That's pretty much what my parents did, and I have mixed feelings about it. I do think it was good up to high school age. I would have said some dumb things when I was twelve I would probably regret today. But, as a teenager, it felt like just another way my parents were trying to control me. I would say that if you block phones, you have to counterbalance it with some other way your teenager can have agency. It doesn't matter too much what it is, just let your teenager have some freedom.

When storing personal data outside of the organization, you need to have a proper agreement with data processor that handles all the GDPR-related issues, handles responsiblities and liability, verifies issues such as will the data be transferred outside EU jurisdiction to USA servers, etc. In general, organizations have these legal issues already settled with Microsoft due to their other contracts for e.g. Office and Azure and such.

For any new vendor you can't put the same data unless/until you have all these legal arrangements in place; and if that vendor says "ah, we're in USA, we don't care about GDPR" then you simply can't use them for such data.
'Tolerance Isn’t Easy' is okay, freely translated. The trouble with translating it literally is that you lose the wordplay. 'Einfach' means both 'easy' and 'simple'. 'Tolerance: Easy and Difficult' is even more exact, but sounds kind of stupid in English, so I would prefer the original.
Not sure if you're responding to me or someone else but I did work at an Enron pipeline subsidiary back in the day and heard all the stories of slapped together wellhead gas collection that was literally plumbed with household-grade PVC pipe. It really came up in the context of operators looking to break out of those contracts because at the time gas was getting expensive enough they wanted to sell direct rather than through the aggregator who had plumbed up all the wellheads and locked them in to some low-paying contracts.

And as I mentioned in the linked article now folks are flaring because it's cheaper than connection even if there's one available. From their perspective breaking contacts back then and flaring off now are just good business, so yes I 100% believe they'll do what's in their own economic self-interest.

If you happen to believe in global warming, then whether flaring that gas is in their own long term self interest is a separate conversation.

The social ostracism and inability to interact with their peers will not strengthen your children socially nor given them a value system for dealing with the challenges of the culture around them. It will simply delay when they have to grapple with it from a time in their lives when mistakes are understood and expected by the world to a time when the world will expect them to already be experienced with how to manage it. A rule like you describe is not for the benefit of your children. It is a crutch designed to help you avoid the hard work of having to teach proper values around difficult things. Charting a path through social media is part of parenting. You haven't found a secret hack that makes it easy. You have created a fantasy that you can simply get away with not doing so.
Oaky's Goa Mix (the original version, not the one used with all of the cleared material) was pretty much legendary stuff in the UK in the '90s and I do think he helped make trance fairly mainstream. The knock on effect was that when it went mainstream it got kind-of boring. Gatecrasher was also popular in the UK at the tail end of the '90s. I can remember psytrance breaking through, but it just didn't sound amazing after Goa, etc. Not sure if you remember the harsh joke about trance - there was one original trance record and everything else afterwards was just a rehash of it :) I thought the track in question was "Age of Love". I agree with it, but Donna Summer's I Feel Love predates it by a few decades and that is a pretty trance-y record.

Indeed, most large CDNs will ship you, for free, hardware to install at your ISP PoP in order to reduce both theirs and your bandwidth costs. Google does it, Akamai does it, Netflix does it. Assuming a decent cache hit ratio, this drastically reduces bandwidth on expensive, percentile-billed Tier 1 upstreams that most ISPs still depend on - especially in the US, where truly neutral internet exchange points are rare.

Interestingly, the 1TB cap is exactly what ISPs use to plan for and calculate their percentile-billed upstream commitments, as a 1TB cap corresponds to a sustained 3Mbps usage.

This stock went from $54 in Aug 2004 to $1196 today. Just for me to understand, is that "underperformance"? Is your claim that other stocks that have a traditional voting structure have outperformed GOOGL over the same time period or that GOOGL itself could have achieved much higher highs, say 30x instead of a mere 22x? Either way, those are tall claims and it's on you to prove it.
Huge losses, no profitability in sight, pre-IPO founder cash-out

...yip to the moon!
My source is bitter experience designing and testing counter-rotating electric ducted fans for distributed propulsion drone applications.

You have to consider specific failure modes. You might have an object strike, like a bird. You might lose sealing and get water in somewhere, frying anything electronic inside. You might have a loose bolt, a fatigued bracket, or a frayed wire. When you start considering scenarios rather than parts lists, it becomes clear that consolidating things together spatially costs you most of the advantage of redundancy.

This is especially true in the case of props. In point of fact, if a prop breaks the net force is upwards, because that's the direction it was pushing in when it failed. However it's basically irrelevant - unless you perfectly and flawlessly detach the blades symmetrically with explosive bolts, with impeccable timing such that no detached blade hits the airframe, so much energy is released with a moving-part failure that anything in the vicinity is pretty well destroyed. Experience you might have with normal-sized drones is not applicable if you scale it up even a little - big props make a big mess, and you're lucky if the airframe survives at all. You certainly won't be able to count on that shared pod.

We can only guess at why they chose to design it this way - personally I think they're a bunch of cowboys who will kill someone the way they're going. I suspect it's because they want to keep the footprint small, and because it's kind of uncool to have to pick your way through a dense ring of props to get to the cockpit (if you look at some of their videos you'll see that they've experimented with non-coaxial x8 configurations in the past). But stacking the props two-by-two like that only costs you reliability.
There’s no such thing as unlimited anything. If you use more, you pay more. If you find this notion ridiculous, imagine for a moment that a company offered unlimited gasoline for your car, or if your rental property advertised an unlimited number of occupants per bedroom. That’s bananas!

As a side note, I’m horrified by the idea that there are people whose Netflix watching habit runs afoul of their ISP’s data cap. Isn’t that sort of existence depressing as all hell? Imagine the degree of brain rot caused by this quantity of video content.
Can confirm, metered and capped services were the norm, even after ADSL became mainstream.
I don't agree really, psydub is quite distinct. Though it is a rather small genre.

Electric motors with fixed pitch rotors are much simpler mechanically than piston/turbine engines and fully articulated rotor blades.

Furthermore, with the drones, you have fly by wire, with control inputs translated into manoeuvring in a simple manner, so pilots will require much less skill.

For example, one has to log a certain number of landings in a helicopter. In a Volocopter, you'd literally just slide a button on the control stick up to take off, then slide it down to land, and do that N times, and you've passed that part of the requirements.

Introversion / Extroversion refers to the way someone recharges one's "batteries". My girlfriend and I are prime examples. Once Friday rolls around, I want to put 40 miles on my bicycle, and play guitar all weekend. She, on the other hand, wants to see friends, go to an event, etc. We try to compromise.

The social aspect, in terms of one's anxiety around it, or the ability to be social, doesn't factor in. At least not in the sense that introverts are bad at being social. And vice versa.

In fact, my girlfriend is quite a bit more socially awkward then I am. Especially in new situations, and around new people. She gets anxious about it, worries how she's going to be perceived, and either clams up or talks too much. I'm the one who breaks her in to these situations. Which, considering how most people define these two terms, is ironic.

Both linked articles include the original question, vote percentages and how the Telegraph got to it's percentage, more than enough for an informed if not rational debate.

Most of them are much smaller, meaning there is significantly less distance to cover. Of course you can get fiber to the home every where when you have a small nation. Let's look at larger nations:

Canada has worse broadband but better mobile [0][1]. I'd attribute this to population density: most of their population is fairly close to our border because the rest is a frozen wasteland.

Russia has worse speeds by far, and the certain things simply are not accessible due to being blocked.

No, we're not South Korea, but S. Korea is small with most people living in a very concentrated area. Again, no other nation has companies with excellent chances of setting up satellite network infrastructure, which is a good solution for a nation as big and spread-out as America.
