<p>The coverage area it promises is up to 5 acres. But with only five minutes of flight time and 30 minutes for every recharge, I don't know how long will it take it to actually do the work it promises.<p>The solution is definitely cool though. I could pay another small drone to track the movement of tornyol's drone and show me how it tracks and kills the mosquitoes.</p>

<p>Thanks for creating it. I love maths, and this was very pleasing to play. Have you published any other projects similar to this one? I mean, the ones that would be relevant for non-schoolers as well?</p>

<p>Relationships are of various kinds that extend in various dimensions. What the Author has talked about definitely sounds more like a "work-friend" relationship, but is not entirely separate from a "friend-friend" that you define.<p>> It’s deeply believing that a rising tide lifts all boats.<p>This is true, but with context. "Growth" and "Comfort" are two different elements of a <i>good friendship</i>. We can replace "rising" with "happy", and the same quote works for comfort.<p>Are both necessary? Depends on how you define "friendship". If comfort is the only thing, you dog can be a comfortable companion. But for a human friendship to last longer, both must enjoy each other company for longer time horizon, and that needs growth in both. This growth needs not be only in career, but mental too.<p>With such growth, envy can't come in and corrode the bond.</p>

<p>In the army, competitions are not as much of an issue because the goal is not to make more money or mere promotion, but to serve the country. "Dying in the act of war" is not frowned upon but celebrated as a badge.<p>Opposite to contrary belief, higher rank individuals (except the topmost levels) are at the front line leading the pack. Army personnel have families, but they kill others who also have families — this is not normal for most people. They get desensitised after practice and war in difficult terrains.<p>I was told by an army lad, his father had instructions to always move forward. If you turn, your own men can shoot you, mistaking you for an enemy.</p>

<p>Why don't devs use React Native like tech stack that allows development across platforms at the same time, especially for simple apps like this when they probably don't have to use all native capabilities different platforms provide.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.<p>BTW if I may clarify, by <i>thought leader</i>, I mean people who are leaders or popular figures in a particular industry, whose voices matter and shapes up that domain.<p>Think of Sam Altman for AI, Marc Andreessen for VC, Andrew Huberman for Mental Health, and figures like Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, Naval Ravikant, etc.</p>

<p>Makes sense. What other platforms do you know where we can get access to the network of entrepreneurs, thought-leaders, governments, and authors? I am considering text-based social apps only.</p>

<p>I mentioned some global accounts that are very generic, but I do follow some folks from my country (India) who share valuable content for my field of work.<p>Such content doesn't seem possible on other platforms. FB is dead here. Insta is only images/videos. Threads is a no-no. I don't know any alternatives as of yet where my network is active.</p>

<p>“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.” ― Friedrich W. Nietzsche<p>Elon's proclamation that he is fighting "them" (deep state/democrats/...) has turned around and he is the same now. He is the USAID-ish funding for his cause. The cause could be different but the tools are the same, albeit in different names.</p>
