I assume the point of the simulator is to train the user to complete a similar exercise in reality, so I don't agree here - you have to write down the waypoint code in the real exercise, and it's not good for the simulator to encourage you to overlook doing that.
This is an "old man shakes fist at clouds" opinion, but I think HD video is a huge waste of time/money for living room watching. Your eyes cannot effectively resolve that resolution at normal "couch" viewing distances for common TV sizes. This is kind of like how audio quality peaked at CDish quality. Anything better is largely inaudible.
Yeah someone at Apple Music must have looked into USP / market differentiator checkboxes, where Spotify skimped out of more permissive/expensive? licensing contracts that would allow for that home use DJ use case.
In most countries you need special licensing for public reproduction of copyrighted music anyway. That use case is not covered by your private streaming subscription. It´s just a means to get the media.
Building a movie library with 1 to 4 movies a month you actually want to watch on Apple TV seems to be the better mid-term investment if you want to stay digital for the same price of an UHD enabled Netflix subscription.
I own a bunch of UHD-Blurays, but the friction to get up from the couch there is also quite large and you can't just decide to watch them on vacation.
Also Netflix bitrate for UHD is abysimal and rarely has any third party stuff.
Amazon bitrates are also good, but I lost a lot of trust in their mid/long term commitment to user needs.
Inform the opinions of the constituencies of member of congress to show them where there local support is.
Try to force special elections.
Flipping the house seems doable.
The momentum seems there.
Or just short stuff, this seems to be the most predictable market in a while[1].
But would diversify a bit an not just sit on USD cash.
Trumps next genius deal idea could as well be to cancel out the US federal debt by some rampant inflation, when he suddenly wants to make everyone a millionaire. Seriously waiting for the Fort Knox stunt.
The monocular depth cues are not lost; rather, the main issue with VR and stereoscopic images is the forced depth focus. This creates a mismatch between vergence and accommodation, which can interfere with natural depth perception. There is extensive research on this topic, particularly regarding the vergence-accommodation conflict:
Duh, commuters are just less picky with their food choices, reliably fast service trumps food quality here for obvious reasons. Tourists as mentioned in the article are not that many.
Anecdotally the worst McDonalds Burger I had was with a cold slice of cheese at the Berlin Main Station, while the Döner there was always above par.
I have a hypothesis that "popular" restaurants in tourist heavy cities like Paris, London, Tokyo have google reviews are heavily skewed by these tourists. Basically any place that has over 1-2k reviews and 4.5+ becomes a self-fulfilling cycle. Sometimes you go into a supposedly local place and everyone seated around you is American. I tend avoid places with thousands of reviews therefore or when there are barely any reviews in the local language
The point is, that quality is not the metric here; the metric is google ratings.
I would take a place with a solid 4.6 but hundreds of ratings over a low double digit 4.9 any time.
Even Google ratings are sometimes gamed nowadays. This wasn't always the case, they used to be reliable. Tripadvisor ratings on the other hand were always garbage.
I recently had some really bad experiences with some fast food places in my corner of the world, at a train station as well.
They all had 4.9 stars but lots of 1 star reviews matching my experience. But also tons and tons of eerily similar 5 star reviews with a generic photo of the counter (no faces, no food) and a random name and glowing review of who "served" them. Which is impossible at those places.
I sort ratings by worst but look at the reason. If the 1 stars are "the waitress was rude", then that's fine. I'm there to eat. I don't need them to flatter me. If the 1 stars are "the food smelled foul and I saw them mixing leftover soup back into the pot", I know to avoid it. I've seen both of these types a lot.
And I also do a quick sort by newest. If all the newest reviews are tourists, I know to steer clear. Tourists will give a convenience store egg sandwich 6 stars out of five. They'll write a full-on essay about the fine experience they had at a restaurant and saying it's obvious the chef put lots of care into the meal, not realizing it's a local chain restaurant that just pops things in the microwave. Then they'll take off 2 stars at a good place because the chef couldn't make them a gluten-free, rice-free, beef-free, soybean-free chicken burger (also, they have deadly poultry allergies so they can only eat chicken substitutes). I also see loads of these types of reviews.
I've seen this too, a lot of 1-star reviews from customers who wanted some substitution and didn't get it. Seems designed to be abused by unreasonable customers, cause one of those equates to ~3 honest customers saying "meh" with a 3-star review. I'd prefer the restaurant that doesn't have to charge extra to absorb the costs of avoiding that.
The formatting of the MRGS coords is horrible.
Just give the easting and northing is blocks please like 1234 5678.
Feels like 90 of the time is wasted on parsing this and making sure your in the right square kilometer.
