Most wealthy people are not billionaire wealthy. Billionaire wealthy pretty much manage to avoid all taxation, progressive or not, so the comparison is moot. They just trample on everyone else.

I find this logic extremely flawed. If you save half, you save half. If someone saves a lot more than you as a result, it mains they paid a lot more before, and is still paying a lot more than you now. As fair as it gets. Those that complai

Note that while you have 25% VAT on things, actual VAT accounting is fully dynamic and banking and accounting systems handle this just fine. On the incoming side, bills can come from other countries with an entirely arbitrary VAT value, so

For any radio system, receiving continuously also kills battery, just not as fast as transmitting does. Low-power requires you to turn the receiver off for extended periods of time, but what you can do there is limited by how interactive th

Not to mention flat-earthers, climate change deniers, 5G-causes-vaccines activists burning down 4G towers as they have no idea what 5G even is, etc., etc. It's all too easy for the less skeptical to be misguided. :/

That is highly dependent on the exact ESP32 model and current power state. They can use in excess of 500mA with peaks of 800mA, and can easily use >250mA constant at 3.3V. Some draw much more than that. A board with a few bits and bo

I'd agree if the phone had an appropriate focal length, but it doesn't. You can either go way too wide, or way too narrow (with a worse image sensor at that). Comparing the best the phone can sensibly do while handicapping the
