Honestly, there’s something very Eastern European about your comment. You own two unnecessarily powerful SUVs, driving waay over the speed limit in Bulgaria seems somehow relevant to you and you still wonder why you should be inconvenienced

The fact that gasoline is significantly more energy dense than batteries is so easy to grasp that a monkey could probably understand it. Do you honestly believe that this is the missing piece that EV fans don’t get? That teaching them 6th g

There was also the Soviet nuclear fireworks project in the 80s that didn’t help much.

Not sure about your app, but simulators like Liftoff or Velocidrone are really great if you don't want start by crashing your expensive drone A LOT. Flying an FPV drone (in proper Acro mode) is objectively pretty difficult and requires

Just like the maps, you can purchase high quality planes where you can follow IRL checklists and procedures. You probably know this, but someone not into simming might not.

You're right, I must've missed that on the first read. Shame, could've been a bit more badass. Now I'm wondering what the scientists do throughout the flight. Observe, obviously, but also if they have any signalling goin

I don’t thing you got the naming right. A powered paraglider with a trike (so you don’t have to run) is still PPG, not a PPC. PPC is a different, distinct category. The main difference between PPCs and PPGs is that you steer a PPG using you

The original Surface was unveiled a few months (May 30, 2007) after the iPhone (January 9, 2007). Not sure who implemented the idea first in the lab, but probably neither of them.

Wow, that culture page reads like something from Black Mirror. But I guess I'd also endure a lot of stuff for a year of outrageous salary, then peace out to a beach somewhere.

You need to read the message again, they said nothing like that.

Oh, that makes sense. I assumed there was a hardcoded list of possible paywalls and how to recognize them, but I guess there could also be some kind of heuristic that might not work for different languages.

In my experience Merlin can recognize known calls in very busy environments, like on a street with cars running, people talking and four different bird species screaming at once.

Why does everyone assume it was a Live photo? Could’ve been night mode, which comes on automatically in low light scenarios, and does the same thing (takes multiple exposures over a longer timeframe).

Because they’re photos, with a bit of video added for effect when you’re scrolling through them.
