Would be interesting to see how the guy who claimed "he was too smart to read books" would learn programming.

RIP project ARA.

Yet some local retailers somewhat insist on doing their own app.

One instead of a website where I could look at their course catalog and book had App Store/Google Play apps. They were terrible, and wouldn't install on a still-supported Google Pixel phone, a friend with an iPhone tried the Apple version and said it was horrendous and uninstalled it immediately.

I don't understand why they went with terrible custom apps, a responsive website would have been so much more convenient and easier to maintain! Also, call me old-fashioned but some things I just prefer doing from the comfort of my desktop with a nice big screen, keyboard, and mouse.

Or in some countries, alleviate the pressure on an overloaded public transport system. Which in turn cuts emissions.

That was a data center, not a cloud. The sort of place they are moving to from the cloud.

With a cloud solution, you make sure to use services that are redundant. AWS and Azure build each region (geographical location) with **multiple **interconnected independent data centers (availability zones). High durability is one of the strong use cases for public clouds.

200g *if * they are interpreting what they see correctly. A sensor artifact doesn't need to respect any flight characteristics.

Being experts in one field doesn't make them experts in whatever may be causing the tic tac.

You're missing his point. It's not not knowing, it's "current empirical evidence points to X conclusion".

Science is always open to changing their conclusion based on new evidence. People take that as doubt while con-men bring them absolute answers with absolute confidence and mistake this for facts.

It's likely even more boring than that. These grainy, blurry, IR images are artifacts, birds, balloons, the Moon, commercial aircraft, stars, satellites, and other common things that can look weird from certain angles/perspectives/lenses/sensors.

I'd be super happy to be proven wrong but people really want to believe there's more out there and it's visiting us but I'm going to need more solid proof than some noisy and blurry images and some silly-looking chimera mummies in a box.
