The perfect camera autofocus when object distance changed quickly, especially since it's "macro" distance at times. No real camera auto focus is that good.

Also, some things are too perfect/lacking imperfections. The lamp shade texture for instance is too even & perfect


This is roughly the same as teaching Esperanto to child as his / her first language.


I am surprised that no one mentioned ITA Matrix, the search engine behind Google flights.

https://matrix.itasoftware.com/search

The results will show the raw codes, eg. ticket class, fare construction & other airline codes.

Use the result you like to book with an agent, or https://bookwithmatrix.com


What's the advantage of this? Whenever I tried, the UX seems so much worse than any other service. If it's the same data anyway, why not consume it from an easier to use service?


For most, none.

For power users, you can force specific fare classes/connections/combinations etc. regular sites won't. You can create some zany things for example, getting United to sell you an American connection. Ticketing it may require an actual travel agent though.


Embraer was a smaller manufacturer, much smaller than Boeing. The had some success, but it was tough for them to compete with Boeing, especially because Boeing bullied them through regulators. They outmanoeuvred Boeing by letting Airbus buy them for 1 dollar. Now Embraer planes are rebranded as Airbus 200 series


That was Bombardier, not Embraer.

It's also not clear at all that that was a win for Bombardier, other than giving a free win to Airbus to spite Boeing. Given up the project that they were relying on for the future direction of the company for a nominal sum?

Airbus made out like bandits, and the government of Quebec cut their losses, but Bombardier almost certainly lost as badly as Boeing in the C-Series/A200 outcome.


Ah yes, Bombardier. I got it mixed up in my head. Thanks for the correction and a perspective on the deal


This is a good opportunity for BOOM aerospace too


How is Flowpilot compared to OpenPilot? Is it better in some ways?


Could you put some screenshots of the app?


The landing page for the app has live demo (in the header) that you can play-around.


It doesn't appear to be visible on a phone


You have to turn your phone into landscape mode. It doesn‘t work in portrait.


Good point to show screenshots on mobile.


metal blocks RF


The iPhone 7 and earlier all had an aluminium back no issue. Changed to glass from the 8/X onwards for wireless charging.


iPhone 7 placed the antenna on the rim, the area where there is a bit of plastic. For years iPhone wireless & wifi connections are somewhat weaker than other phones, I suspect it's because the metal back.

Wireless charging is also RF btw.


Typing this on Zenfone 10. I agree with this article completely


Norway is one


Incidentally, Norway appears among the countries with the lowest perception of corruption in the world: #4 among 180 countries (0). It would be interesting to look if there is any correlation with other countries where income records are publicly available.

0: https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/corruption-rank


All* US government salaries are public record. If you know your neighbors name and department/agency, there’s a good chance you can look them up.


Salaries are not the entire income. Corruption is usually some income in addition to a salary, but it may still be reflected in the tax record (that is, it's usually some service, board position, etc, not a suitcase full if cash).

Thus public tax records give a better transparency picture than salary records.


But you can't look it up anonymously. You have to authenticate with your national ID number, and the person will be notified about who looked up their income.


The way they get around this in Sweden at least is that you pay a company to do the look up for you and then no one knows who looked up what or why.


Can you pay someone to look up this data for you?


Norway is the only one. And you can't look up salary, just their total income, which could include say renting out a vacation home or whatever.


I thought Sweden did the same thing?


Total taxable income, which depending on your family/health/debt situation can be different from the same base income.


The only one? Source?


Finland is another.


Do you run it on a cloud provider, if so how do you store it, ie.: mounted volume?


I rent a dedicated server on Hetzner with additional storage volumes and back it up to Tarsnap (with other files).
