Not exactly. In cities more towers are placed together to give better coverage (for 5G this is a must). Triangulation can then be as accurate as 30 meters. If you then have a dataset of lets say 100 points around a location you can estimate

Better wellbeing is so important. Less health cost, less safety service costs (police for example), better performing people, less sick people at work, and so on. It is unfortunate most countries today are reigned by short term money while

There are many great ideas in his OS and programming language. One idea I miss very often while programming: embed info like pictures in your code (as comment). It would be great to add flowcharts, diagrams, screenshots into code as comment

I'm also glad we have a WHO as central point of information and knowledge. But the WHO could have been more careful with how they put out information. For example: "...no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission,..." .

It's not only filesize it's also what the browser must parse. Parsing huge files is not a great experience on mobile.

Which should be done because it helps the user very much. Sharing filtered links or storing filtered links in your favorites becomes impossible when the query parameters don't change.

Leaking data is one of the issues with all those CRUD framework tutorials. It is nice marketing: look how easy it is to output entities with our framework! The problem is: you almost never want to output complete entities. You want to outpu

Margins on electronic components like resistors are huge. But you have to sell loads of them to make some money. So a 60-100% margin tells us nothing.

Side note: depth of field blur is not a gaussian blur but a bokeh blur. Most software uses gaussian blur to fake depth of field but this always looks unnatural. Bokeh blur looks more like a lot of circles. If you compare the iPhone 11 blur
