m43 is a strategic mistake. There's not enough differentiation from smartphones.
Sony is the new king for enthusiasts who spend their time watching youtube videos of pixel peepers trying to see which lens has the highest resolution or which sensor works best at ISO 12800.
for pros, the ruggedness, battery life, support, autofocus of dslrs are still important.
If that is the case, then why are people in the same culture not equally fat?
>I don't agree with Most of our behaviour is based on instinct. We allow perfect strangers into our homes to fix the plumbing.
And we stay in the house to keep watch on them.
>A baby can learn to enjoy the company of a Malamute. Even our instinct to avoid being eaten by wolves,
You have to first establish that we have an instinct to avoid being eaten by wolves. And how that would work in humans that don't live where there are wolves for thousands of years.....
> Selenium came out as a side-project for another internal system we needed.
What kind of system? I had thought that selenium was created to TDD web development front-end.
Except in this analogy doesn't account for the fact that a mindful person can simply wait for the tiger to disappear.
>In a society truth is less important than relationships
Then he should have create a relationship of honesty. it's good to know that somebody wont lie to you, even to make you happy.
So why shouldn't grubhub get the fee for making it easier for restaurants to sell food?
I don't see how that could work. Clearly some mosquitoes are going to be resistant to the modification and will survive.
Releasing sterile mosquitoes wouldn't eliminate the ones that carry disease. that's basically the opposite of natural selection.
>You could say that none of it was "wasted", people earned their salary there (I assume) and learned something,
ah, the good ole broken windows fallacy strikes again.
Not like if we had spent that 2.4B on something else, those people who worked on that something else wouldnt learn anything, or earned any salary.
>we could drive the mosquitoes that cause malaria/yellow fever/dengue/etc to extinction.
How?
>Furthermore, while accidents are rare, they have enduring impact in the locations where they occur.
And coal emission, gas spill, oil spill, dam burst, dam construction dont?
>but it is a fact that our society has great difficulty dealing with nuclear waste.
France has no problem.
there would be if some people had their way
>and the victor could have forgiven the debt.
That would be equivalent to burning $500,000.
>I wouldn’t even make my friend pay me back for lunch if they forgot their wallet — let alone put them through financial hardship for such a trivial, low-effort event as a game of RPS.
What is the minimum amount of effort required to make a bet of $500,000 valid?
unfortunately, humans cannot play one million hands simulataneously and must experience each hand individually.
>We shouldn't treat those born in poverty differently than those born into wealth - and it seems like a tiny step to require cruise ships to treat their workers well.
And neither do they. Their offer of employment is valid for rich people too.
>Basically have some empathy
Why doesn't the person im supposed to empathise with instead empathise with his opponent and not throw a tantrum?
Germany had a war goal of occupying europe. France wasn't occupied at the end of the war, therefore france won.
Same applied to japan and china.
ventilators don't just pump air. they also monitor and control the amount of air, and beep when something is wrong. plus a bunch of other features...
