The cabin cross section wouldn't change so if the Concorde was designed today.

Which would actually make a lot of sense, now that I think about it...

Why would you use ML to develop well understood formulas from first principle, if you can also have a properly developed program for the same purpose?

Appertures, well, those f2.8 Nikkor telephotos from that period still demand high prices for a reason. And f4.5 isn't that slow, even compared to modern zooms. Or those old 50/1.4 (agreed, the 1.8 versions seem to be tad better) a

They do get replaced by (converted) B777s and cargo A350s so. The 747 still will have a place, especially for long and heavy loads so.

Depends on the lenses, of course. There are still enough crappy new lenses on the market so. Color rendition is also impacted by the sensor, assuming digital cameras. Since I don't know which lenses you talk about, hard to tell. I do h

Yeah, we did! Using the other person's viewfinder on the other hand... Well, I trust AF in those cases!

Yeah sure. I'd sell them my bridge, but I guess they don't need it...

Easily. And aerospace began to move fast again since the A380, B777, B787, A350 and such. The decades before were a lot slower. At least now ypu don't have to mix people pulled back from retirement with new grads to get a team that h

Really? Never had the problem, and I print up to A3, even have a A1 sized print from a D70 and a old 18-85 (?) kit Nikkor, which is sharp enough, with enough resolution, at the edges and corners. If you take a 100% crop from a corner so, we

If I take two extreme, Munich Airport Terminal 3 and the small local airport nearby, we have: MUC: - 10-20 minutes from parking to baggage drop off, depending on where ypu park, can be almost 30 minutes for the parking you ise for vacation

My dad is giving photography lessons, and one of the constants are people realizing during session one that they, in fact, do need glasses when the autofocus does not agree with their eyes. When I borrow my dads camera for the odd shot at t

Concorde was ine of the precusers of modern day Airbus so. As an aircraft, despite being gorgeous and an engineering marvel, it was kind of pointless, I agree.

Thing is so, good vintage lenses, and I mean lenses from the 70s, are actually incredibly sharp, and perform great optically. To this very day, if you get a good sample. Improvements are mainly in terms of coating (reflections, ghosts and

What people always underestimate is the amount of time, and money, it takes to get anything developed, built and certified in aerospace. And that is for even small modifications done on existing design by the major players. Starting from

True, in German it is called "Rechtssicherheit", the presence of a clear, agreed understanding of a law and its application. The idea being, some not 110% defined legal questions get litigated once, and then most follow the outcom

But it does provide clarified opinion on how to apply tge law in similar cases, and that will be followed in future cases. That's how it works in Germany, and in principle our systems are similar enough.

Slavery is a difficult topic in that regard, and not kust because it is slavery. My yard stick was contemporary poeple and movements seeing the thing as universally bad, not just some rare individuals here and there. With slavery, we have a

That is basically the B2C version of Zara. The start-up doesn't exist anymore, the Zara founder is one of the richest people on earth now. This particular problem is bot about production of clothing, it is about everything else: design

Where exactly did I say Roman interests were pure and valid? They were interests, empire building and such. Not sure if rape was a stated goal... Never heard that.
321.
by hef19898 3y ago
Basically all your points? Because the "Germans" didn't exist at the time. It was a mix of various tribes, some loosly allied with Rome. Heck, the German leader even was a former Roman officer. So it was much less about &quot

Ok, in historical context, killing and enslaving was pretty much accepted, and respected, behaviour. Back in ancient times that is, up to, I'd say, early 16th century? Killing, depending on the contexr, still is today. Rape and enslavi

One thing we absolutely should not do, is evaluating history based in modern day morals. Gets you nowhere, even worse it carrys the risk of rewriting history. The moral standard to measure historical actions against are contemporary (the st

No, I did not. After all we already had heated front seatsvas subscription from BMW, so no, no surprise VW would do something similar. Also, none of this has anything to do with the article, does it?

Ypur idea would become even better so if you read the book yourself ... You might even learn something new along the way.

One could also just pick the books used in the corresponding university courses.

Not sure how you conclude that the guy is on the spectrum: all I read is a guy using AI to create stuff with the goal of making a quick buco, no matter what. Whether or not he's on the spectrum is as relevant as wether or not he is Sco

As a side note, can we please stop using being on the spectrum as an excuse for everything?
