The phone doesn't make noise, and cannot fly everywhere around in a 2km radius. The phone owner has to walk there. So if you go hiking in places where fewer people go, then you get fewer tourists. Probably you don't want to get drones there (I don't).
Tldr: this is completely inconsequential.

To combine a few other comments: in 250m years, we are unrecognizable by today's humans, and easily have the technologies to inhabit other planets. That's assuming we haven't already destroyed ourselves many times over by them.
Now that's a money quote. The following sentence, which says that "If star tracking has not commenced before takeoff, it should start at an altitude where cloud cover and sky brightness conditions have improved.", leads one to believe that it was possible for the sky to be too bright to track stars from the ground sometimes (since it basically says exactly that), but it now seems clear ground tracking during the day was possible. Maybe it depended on the latitude, time of day, and position of the Sun relative to the stars (low latitude in the middle of the day without sufficiently bright stars far enough away from the Sun = sky too bright, higher latitude early or late in the day with sufficiently bright stars far enough away from the Sun = track from the ground, any other combination = results may vary). Actually, I just saw that the bottom of page 42 describes how to handle situations where the sky was too bright for specific stars.

Thanks, 25 years in and I'm still learning new things. But I don't think I was specifically shouting out the Unix philosophy. My comment was more in response to the OP article, that rather than "trying" to optimize in the sense that you already know what you need to optimize for and towards, instead thinking of self-improvement as being a by-product of being able to think new thoughts, thus the upfront emphasis on the acquisition of new language (with a big nod to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis). This could be through collecting good terminology, best practise and patterns, and learning the philosophies of systems such as Unix and languages like Go and Python. However, with aliases and scripts, it becomes something you can actually "speak" in an effective sense, which ultimately can lead to improvements over earlier capabilities that go beyond what you could have envisioned as possible from the start.

I took a handful of math courses in school, and what I didn't realize till later was that learning how to rigourously prove things mathematically had dramatically reshaped my mind. I am left wondering what it must be like for the minds of those who have traversed that tower far higher than I ever have or will.

>You're describing totally different modes of dining. That said, this is probably the direction we're heading: servers will make more. And dining out (actual dining out, not fast casual) will become more expensive.

I'm also describing how the high (and getting higher) cost of dining in America is partly a function of American expectations. In other countries, dining is much cheaper, but from what I see, there's far less labor involved. Here in Japan, eating out is pretty cheap usually. (It's similar in Europe.) But there's less service: you have to actually yell for a server sometimes, or otherwise get their attention, because they're busy serving other tables or doing other tasks. They don't have time to come check on you, and in fact it would be considered rude if they interrupted your conversation just to ask you how the food tastes, but this is perfectly normal in America.

If American restaurants adopted a different service model and standards, costs would be lower, it's pretty simple. No one really needs servers hovering over them and chit-chatting with them and acting like their best friend.

I don't like to use TSA as an example because it's a government service, which doesn't operate under market pressure the same way as private business. My point is there's a lot of unnecessary labor even in privately-run businesses.
Times are depending on priority and payments. I.e. If you don't pay anything then you are seen in either FIFO or depending how serious it is. Your family doctor also has a say on priorities. If you pay about 15$ a month then you can have 3 appointments a year with every private doctor you want. Also, you have priorities in private surgeries. If you don't have premium insurance and you want a private doctor then it can cost about 150$ for 1 appointment. So everyone practically pays the 15$.

Plus, children up to 18 don't have to pay the premium they automatically insured in premium. Children have full dental free care up to 18 years. No problems with appointments if you have priority (like immediate pain or something).

The specialized doctors (heart brain etc...) are all encouraged to do a post doctoral for a year in Canada or US so they are pretty good.
They're not men pretending to be women, they are women.

Interesting that this is enough evidence to the contrary for you.

It is just a few easy examples. I've used Unity for a decade, visited the offices, worked with ex-Unity employees. They aren't maximizing shareholder value, they are very bloated, and they are trying to survive and avoid bankruptcy.

at the expense of the public.

What does that even mean? There is no expense to the public. They give their product to 90% of developers for free. Unity used to charge every seat.
The most obvious reason -- to me, at least -- would be that they tried to block it from generating images of real people, and didn't think to make an exception for long-dead Roman dictators.
This is all a matter of balancing constraints. I wrote "you know that when you will need it you probably won't have time to invest into migrating this component.". I didn't wrote "always go for the more scalable".

For a starter "the most scalable component is always the most difficult to integrate and use" isn't true, and "whatever your team knows or don't know, the challenges tied to integrating then exploiting a given component are always the same". There are many parameters. In some contexts taking into account the team's subjective preferences is crucial.

There is no universal rule, à la "always go for the most scalable, neglecting any other consideration" or "the minimal immediate effort is always the best option".

Puberty blockers don't make you dumber, they could affect fertility sometimes but it's not a huge issue if the eventual goal is a transition anyway (which it must be for them to be given). As fully transitioned people can't conceive naturally. It's a good tradeoff.

As a former Googler who worked on some Android things I can say that this is untrue. There are many other reasons why Android devices don't keep up with iOS but a lack of Googlers using them is not one of them. There are many thousands of Googlers using outdated Android devices and there is a rich internal bug reporting culture.

In Holland it's forbidden under 18, I don't know about the US. But 776 people is obviously not a lot on the population of the US. That's one in half a million. Don't forget a transgender transition isn't the only reason people have genital reassignment surgery. Some people are simply born intersex and have corrective surgery for this earlier. Dysphoria can be quoted as a reason there too, but there are also more pressing medical concerns.

Edit: According to this article linked below, it's not allowed in the US either under the age of 18: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/mar/05/viral-imag...

Exactly. It also reduces pharma waste since you only get as many pills as the doctor prescribes. In Japan, where I currently live, I have barely any leftover medicaments in my drawers (where my prescriptions usually are packaged in individual sachets).

There were tons of leftovers in the EU, where I lived before - that's wasteful. Not a little bit of plastic.

It drives me insane that, when ordering medication from my HMO, it is no longer able to tell me the price of the pills ahead of time. It's worse than "lobster of the day, market rate", at least you can ask the server what the rate is.

I think we're only a few steps away from patients having to place limit orders on medication like they're on ETrade.

Edit: I double-checked and now at least it gives you an "estimated price". But.. what is there to estimate? Why is there a real-time market rate for perfectly generic prescription pills? https://imgur.com/a/grNPBUB

You end up having to place the order and the charge shows up a little while later. It's never 2x or anything of the sort, but it's also bewildering that they can't tell you what it will cost.

In that case the losers are people paid in cash, which is most employees.

There is no "software you install for playing CDs." Your CD-ROM drive streamed audio directly from the disc to your sound card. Some drives actually had a Play button on the front to start it up without even talking to the OS. If you wanted more control, you used the CD player app that came with your OS.

Occasionally you'd get a fancy album with a music video on a data track, or something. But other than that, there was never any legitimate reason for inserting a music CD to install anything.

At the relative bottom (Servelet API level) it works that way, servlets have a direct access to input/output stream, and they have to write plain byte[] (or string via Writer).

As for java syntax, it's not great for string manipulation, encoding (you will need some functions for all the html/javascript escaping).

If you see url's containing ".do" extensions - that was the standard for calling servlets w/o anything, it has changed, of course.

I have not tried that yet, no. For me the goal isn't just about shortening often repeated commands, as though the limitation were purely about character input speed, it's more of a contemplative practise of learning how to notice and respond to that internal prompt that says "I wish I could say that more succinctly" or "There has to be a better way to do this". And then either telling my mind work on those questions, or being open and receptive to coming across something relevant on the topic, or seizing a moment of inspiration to write a time-saving script or come up with a meaningful (to me) alias.
For fast "data-oriented" parsers of other formats which contain numbers (which to be fair are uncommon), number parsing is often the slowest part. For fast data transformations in the genre of jq (but not jq specifically), parsing is often the bulk of the runtime.

> In technology/autonomy? Skydio beat them years ago (https://www.skydio.com/).

In technology, hell no.

Admittedly, Skydio had this pretty good VSLAM a few years ago. Still their drone was pretty useless in most use-cases where you would have taken a DJI. In many situations you don't really need more than "sense-and-avoid". Don't under-estimate DJI. The day VSLAM is important, they may have it much faster than you think.

It's a common mistake in the West to think that "we are better at technology than China". In the drone industry, we are years behind. And because of the technology, not because of the production cost.

> I've never been so wrong.

Well they have been struggling like the rest of the Western drone industry, it's not exactly a serious competitor to DJI. I would say that back in the days, Parrot was more successful than Skydio ever was. Since then I would think that the Anafi competes with Skydio (again they don't have the Skydio VSLAM, but who most use-cases don't need that).
