“Even under optimistic scenarios for the pace of physical reconstruction, the scale of destruction in Gaza has been such that, simply from the narrow perspective of moving in building materials, it would still take until 2040 and probably longer to restore the housing units destroyed since the start of the war,” the researchers concluded.

Article explains the reasoning. They chose the metric of moving building materials into devastated areas

This shit can destroy companies and tank its value

Leaving hundreds of contacts in limbo with no resolution has the potential to cost more than $17 million in legal fees and termination clauses.

Where the fuck is the board of directors and why are none of the shareholders revolting?

Cameras are (generally) passive systems. They do not send out light and analyze the returns. They just absorb light and reconstruct a scene.

Radar systems are active. They send out pulses or continuous waves of EM energy at different frequencies than light (much lower) and analyze the returns. They do not need existing light to do their jobs because they're sending out and receiving their own specific emissions. Because they run at lower frequencies than light, they are able to "see" through certain weather phenomena like fog and are relatively unfazed by darkness.

That all being said, you can measure things passively and actively. Radar is pretty damn good at measuring distances, as that's the entire reason behind its invention. I'd say its much more reliable and accurate compared to optical systems.

Imagine how quickly legislators would enact change if the trades unions to include HVAC joined the protest and began striking. You can only sit inside of a 90f building for so long.

“I saw photos of Caitlyn obtaining her scuba diving licence at age 10 in the Philippines, playing tennis in Scotland, modelling in Singapore, camping in Wales, riding helicopters in New Zealand, skiing across Japan, honing rifle marksmanship in Birmingham, driving at age 13 at Mercedes Brooklands, and hiking the Great Wall of China.”

She’s done more things than I have, and I’m probably an adult.

It’s interesting to see these posts in contrast with posts showing that debt is soaring and that young people aren’t saving for retirement.

If median millennial wealth has greatly improved, then it’s not necessarily a “rich vs average and poor” scenario, but more likely “rich and average vs poor.” Add to that surveys that most people aren’t saving and now the data doesn’t agree with what people are saying.

We have plenty of things to be old grumpy grouches about.

“Those banks ruined the American dream and we bailed them out!”

“Fossil fuel companies successfully lobbied the government to allow them to poison our planet in the name of profit!”

“Those Disney crooks consolidated all media and destroyed independent creative ventures!”

“Back in my day we could afford a house if we saved 10 years of earnings for a down payment and then took out a loan eventually totaling twice the value of the purchase price. You kids have it easy with your rental sleeping pods and low-monthly rate outdoors park subscriptions. You don’t even contribute to furniture or clothing industries because you don’t own a place to put any!”
