I know that DNA encodes proteins. Truthfully, everything besides that (including ‘what are proteins’) mostly wooshes over my head, but that’s not relevant because whenever I search this question I never even find it addressed anywhere....
The correct way to use the tool is to lay the continent over the US.
Typical American, declaring that the US is the default country to compare every other country to!
On a more serious note, putting things side by side is the same as putting them over each other. Difference in height are not the same though, as closer to the equator size shrinks. The best way to compare is take two things and put them side by side on the equator - that’s where there’s least distortion.
Soldering is easy like writing is easy. Meaning it’s pretty tricky actually, but after you’ve been doing it every day for years you forget how hard it was to learn.
Source: I’m actually pretty terrible at it, I have soldered stuff over the years but very rarely and never developed the skill. I got good enough to be able to say “I can solder” and I am confident enough to make attempts at tricky stuff, but I expect many failures along the way. Still, even with that it’s easy to feel how more regular practice makes it feel like second nature.
“The comments on my post were a plethora of opinions from — ‘don’t choose a female avatar, it’s a simple fix.’, to ‘don’t be stupid, it wasn’t real’, ‘a pathetic cry for attention’, ‘avatars don’t have lower bodies to assault’,’ you’ve obviously never played Fortnite, ‘I’m truly sorry you had to experience this’ and ‘this must stop’.”
A missed opportunity to use the rare phrase ‘in a very particular order’.
Alright, fair point. Clearly there are merits to both systems (see other answers). If there’s a floor -1 and a floor 1 I’d expect there to be a floor 0 between them, and I don’t think anyone would propose that floor 0 would have you climb down from street level to reach. That’s why it makes sense to have ground floor at 0 to me.
It also might help to call them floor 1, floor 2 etc. instead of first floor, second floor, etc… It’s kind of like how the 20th century is the one going 19xx. So the 20th floor being floor 19 isn’t too farfetched.
I see this as a positive: when both sides have AI unmanned planes, we get cool dogfights without human risk! Ideally over ocean or desert and with Hollywood cameras capturing every second in exquisite detail.
I think even the imperfect sensor data is enough to beat a human. My main argument for why self-driving cars will eventually be objectively safer than the best human drivers (no comment about whether that point has already done) is this:
A human can only look at one thing at a time. Compared to a computer, we see allow, think slow, react show, move slow. A computer can look in all directions all the time, and react to danger coming from any of those directions faster than a human driver would even if they were lucky enough to be looking in the right direction. Add to that the fact that they can take in much more sensor data that isn’t available to the driver or take away from precious looking-at-the-road time for the driver to know, such as wind resistance, engine RPM, or what have you (I’m actually not a car guy so my examples aren’t the best). Bottom line: the AI has a direct connection to more data, can take more of it in at once and make faster decisions based on all of it. It’s inherently better. The “only” hurdles are making it actually interpret its sensors effectively (i.e. understand what cameras are seeing) and make good decisions based on this data. We can argue about how well either of those are in the current state of the technology, but IMO they’re both good enough today to massively outperform a human in most scenarios.
All of this applies to an AI plane as well. So my money is on the AI.
Kind of an update from my previous post. The Proton Drive app on Android utterly failed to back up my photos and videos. I’ve now got a glimpse to a possible reason why....
If you don’t want all your camera photos backed up, I think you can select a different album (or multiple albums) to be backed up instead. Albums are just subfolders of the DCIM folders.
If you do that, you can back up specific photos by moving/copying them to the album that gets backed up.
I never tried it though so perhaps it’s not as straightforward.
By the way, regarding the issues of this post, I’m in contact with Proton support. They haven’t been able to replicate the issue but they sent me a version of the app that can save debug logs. When I get anything conclusive I’ll post an update.

Why do cameras call it "Macro Lens" if it zooms in and is used to capture tiny objects? Shouldn't it be "Micro Lens"?
