Perspectives can differ. One of the greatest soaring sites in Europe (Aspres in the French Alps) is fighting for survival against a solar farm. An irreplaceable loss, given the topology in the area. Which is also why a flat plateau at the

What is the source of this information? In Estonia corporate income tax is essentially 0% - all re-invested income is tax-free, you only pay taxes when you eventually decide to pay out dividends (or salary). Which can be years, decades or n

Wonderful story! There seems to be a healthy number of other pilots / aviation enthusiasts here, so I'll ask - did they really use the OVER & OUT in aviation phraseology back then? Modern aviation RT omits these, so I wonder i

Also from the world of aviation, seems the captain had developed a classic case of get-there-itis. The symptoms are there, the prognosis is never good.

This is a dark pattern akin to booking.com, to create time pressure for you, not provide actual value. If the latter were true, then sometimes it should say "You are the only one looking at this hotel. Take your time!" But no. Tra

Genes are the data, epigenetics talks about the program instructions, notably proteins called transcription factors. The latter are of course also encoded for in genes. The similarities to Von Neumann architecture are .. unsettling.

> Also, autonomy in the sky seems easier than autonomy on the ground. This is debatable. A car has only 1 degree of freedom. An aircraft typically has 3 degrees of freedom. A car rests on solid ground. An aircraft is submerged in a fluid

I agree. People talking about flying cars sound a lot like people demanding faster horses. Or flying horses. I do not think the American dream of a private car scales too well to the future, be it with rubber wheels or tiny propellers. Espe

I think it being autonomous is integral to it being a "success". Energy density is still a major limitation and doing away with the pilot can be one way to make the numbers work economy wise. A flesh and bone pilot will come at a

This is very much our experience as well. As complexity increases, the marginal utility goes down, as operating concerns skyrocket. You really need pretty special operational needs to run multi master relational databases. It is am engineer

In my experience it did indeed remove a lot of deadlocks when we went from multi master writing to electing a single "writable" node. So in the end it is pretty much the same as deploying some read only slaves, plus automatic mast

I agree with you, the way people will inevitably use them makes them unsafe to be used in the vast majority of the US urban scene. In Europe, for example Amsterdam or Berlin, it would be a different story, however. They fit very well to the
