I don't think this administration has any appetite for doing anything remotely pro-consumer.

And larger slower moving blades would be less dangerous too? Not to mention that wind power kills far less birds than the pollution from other types of energy production does.
Domestic cats are much more of a danger to birds than wind turbines.
It has also been shown that painting wind turbine blades can mitigate bird kills.
Thanks, those are very interesting links with solid information.
Thatâ(TM)s something your parents would say!
According to the article, the hit rate of drones isn't all that amazing, either.
Artillery pretty much works by saturating the area with explosions until some of them hit something. So a low hit rate is expected. Maybe a decade after the war ends we'll get some actual numbers to compare to other theaters.
And yet, Ukraine took out half of Russia's bombers, deep in Russian territory, with drones. They could not have done that with conventional artillery.
That is correct, though it doesn't seem to have affected the course of the war noticeably.
Something like 80% of all causalities in the war right now are coming from drones.

That's a bold claim.
There are many ways around jamming
The article I linked to speaks about that. Essentially: Yes. But: Not the cheap stuff used, and stuff like fiber optics come with their own drawbacks.
(unsure which "cheaper" weapons you believe exist...drones are dirt cheap)
The article I linked to includes prices.
according to the Wall Street Journal
Meanwhile, some reports from the frontlines indicate that while drones are ubiquituous, they aren't the game-changer the tech-industry wants them to be.
tl;dr essential bits: a) most drone strikes could have been done by other, cheaper weapons. b) drones are an unreliable weapon due to jamming, dependency on weather and light and many technical failures.
Simply doing a blackboard calculation isn't enough, you need to look at some empirical facts as well. These show that 97% of Scotland's electricity already comes from renewables.
Build up to a thousand of these and the Jocks can declare independence from those barbarians in England.
Scotland already produces about 97% of its energy from renewable sources.
Also...why in fuck's sake is there an ACM conference about "fairness"?
Because the ACM has more people who think John Rawls has something to say about society than Ayn Rand?
Should we not open the door to more Darwinism?
That would be the discredited political movement called "Social Darwinism", nothing to do with the theory of evolution.
I have an AVP and I agree with this comment. Sports and weight are areas of focus. But the device is already doing just fine. There are plenty of reasons to iterate it.
MoonPlayer justifies the entire price of the Apple Vision Pro. There you go, a single app makes the whole thing worthwhile. Another one would be the YouTube safari extension enabling you to watch YouTube on a 20 foot screen. Itâ(TM)s knock your socks off amazing. Spatial photos in the Apple Photos app are incredible. The environments are pretty phenomenal too.
Ridiculous argument. Absolutely nobody uses HoloLens. And the fov of HoloLens was useless.Vision Pro has a wide fov by comparison and FoV is certainly not a weak spot. Vision Pro has an active user base and itâ(TM)s selling fast enough to be profitable this year⦠paying for 8 years of development in just a year or two.
