"It's understood that many before and after pictures will not include the patients' faces." What kind of pointless statement is this? What is "many"? And does that imply that "many," "most,"

You realize that with the drive-by-wire systems in (most) modern cars, when you press the accelerator, you are sending an electronic message that "asks" a computer to increase the speed of the car - there's no mechanical link

Strongly disagree - the D850 is probably the best all-around DSLR ever made, certainly for landscape shooters.

Exactly. Employee: "If you don't fire my manager and give me a $1M bonus, I'm resigning, date to be confirmed." Company: "Ummmm, no. Thanks for resigning, let's make that date today."

So it sounds like the regulators should focus on forcing every web property to give equal access to all crawlers. Why steal Google's investment and hard work and innovation?

By comparison to Apple, Sennheiser is both small and undercapitalized. And the more "boutique" suppliers are much more so. In Apple's fiscal 4th quarter alone: 4Q 2020 revenue: $64.7B 4Q 2020 capital returned to shareholders:

That ('we have 60" flat screen TVs that are better quality and cost a fraction of what a similar TV cost 10 years ago') is not the standard / typical meaning of a race to the bottom. TVs don't have effectively zero

In a competitive industry with high fixed costs and low _marginal_ costs, a race to the bottom often leads to pricing less than _average_ costs and a reduction in service quality (or inability for providers to replace infrastructure consume

It's not just about bragfests. The box office revenue generated is a key input variable in downstream licensing prices (that is, for premium Pay TV, cable channels, syndication, etc.) So, the bigger the box office, the more the movie g

Well, if you're not going to consider about power consumption, Fugaku (and its 28MW consumption) would like a word with you. https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/311995-japans-new-arm-ba... I think his point about

And also (if relevant to you), regulations for children's car seats have appeared and increased so that, if you need to carry three kids, you pretty much need an SUV (or minivan) to do it.

Agreed. I did a 1,500 mile (2,400 km) round-trip drive from Los Angeles to Utah a couple weeks ago using these same features in my Tesla Model 3 and it's a very different experience from previous trips in other cars.

These days, 15GB of photos is pretty close to nothing. If I go on a trip for a week to take pictures, I can easily shoot 50-100GB of images. (Using my full-frame DSLR, shooting in raw, average image size is over 50MB, meaning < 20 images
