What camera needs: fast "boot", stability, reliability, ability to run offline for decades.

And no, I don't want all software being developed the way a social.media app for a phone is.

It shows that smartphones use small, and crappy, sensors behind even smaller, and crappier, lenses. Phone got a long way, and there is a reason they replaced point-and-shoots. They are still a far cry from "real" cameras.

General sanctions so, well, trickey isn't it?

Sanctions can be necessary, and usefull, but incredibly hard to do right and target them correctly. Sanctions also suck at changing whomever is target for whatever.

And one could call it a scam, when tuh product you sell has nothing to do with the product you show (and no, mock-ups at airshows don't count at all), and the product you sell has, so far, no clear timeline until certification. The aerospace version of vaporware. Whether or not it amounts to an actual scam woupd be for courts to decide. Right now it looks a lot like Nikola, without the option to use a hill to fake the product demo.

As a sidenote regarding test flights: last time I checked, those were unmanned, with a demonstrator and not a prototype and no longer than 6 minutes. Which is as far from what serious people in the field call a test flight of it could be. Good for PR and investors so, it looks cool.

Also, one can make everything fly, if you put enough thrust to it. Doesn't mean you have product that can sustain a business.

That bog tech gets away with, is not necessarily because it is legal, but rather that people don't care, law makers only start to care and even if people would care, it is nigh impossible to successfully litigate.

None of the above is written in stone, nor should it stop us from doing something about it.

By the way, not everything is about money. Convincing people it is, is even a better trick than the devil convincing people he doesn't exist (that is assuming one believes in such things, and then considers the devil to be evil instead of the people ending up in hell, but I digress).

And considering how little social.places like the US have, wel... Are you sure things a different today?

Only measuring leadership, as im the Ted x(!) talk, with achievement of a stated, and up to then impossible, goals and ignoring a leader who saves everyone from death is at best short sighted, at worst ignorant. Did I mention the guy in the talk is a business professor with a book on leadership?

And he achieved imoressive things in his life.

One can so easily set-up a company without it so. 90% of what you read about companies and how to run and set them up im Germany on HN is wrong.
