Extra satellites only have the potential to help a little bit in urban environments by increasing the odds of having a satellite directly overhead. Dense urban environments will have high multipath(longer time for signal to get to the receiver due to bouncing off buildings) which causes the position to be inaccurate.
They hand waved over a lot of it. The improvements in the urban canyon are not coming from GPS, but from things like wifi and 3d mapping, probably including cellular triangulations.
At my company, we have increasingly been experiencing interns reneging on their offers. Students will accept multiple offers and then bail on the one they don't want last minute which prevents us from replacing them with someone else. We bring in hundreds of interns every summer and the reneg rate is approaching 20%. It sucks because it prevents people from getting an internship(and us getting the intern).
Low trust society. Due to how recruiting works nowadays I guess what they are doing is rational. Do they fear their main choice of employer bailing on their offer?
It sounds like they are using a smart strategy for their outcome optimization: Not putting all eggs in one basket, or staking all hopes on one employer.
You do the same by accepting a bigger pool of applicants than you plan to hire - so what makes you feel entitled to a privileged position in such negotiations?
I was simply providing an anecdote to a post about students not being able to find internships, not claiming entitlement. My point being some students take multiple offers, reducing availability.
He sells his books anytime he gives a talk. I got an autographed copy ~5 years ago when he was a speaker at the museum of flight in Seattle during the seafair airshow.
I've made his 'fastpack' a couple times and really like how it turned out! I will say, I found the written instructions difficult to follow(for me) and stuck pretty much exclusively to his videos that accompany the pattern which were much better.
I think it depends on the niche of the particular video. I've found channels like woodworking/machining have insightful comments from professionals in that field which may have alternate solutions or point out why something is done a certain way.
Seconding this -- the comments on machining and electronics videos tend to be great, comments on gaming videos are usually just jokes. This makes intuitive sense to me; different viewer bases who want to see different things.
This makes no sense. It's incredibly clear at this point that vaccinated people with covid spread it just the same as an unvaccinated person with covid.
IIRC vaccinated people spread smaller quantities of the virus, and the viral droplets they do spread tend to include antigens since their body is actively fighting the infection while they spread it... you know, because their system was primed for the fight thanks to the vaccine.
I think this Fridman podcast interview explored such things, either way it was quite informative on the subject:
Yeah, and a car crash does the same damage regardless of Blood Alcohol Concentration. We should still punish a drunk driver for irresponsible behavior.
