I believe your biggest hurdle will be developing the sender reputation for your IP address so that you don't have an issue with email delivery.

(It has been a while since I looked in to this, so things may have changed)

A good example happened to me yesterday. I brought my MacBook and charger to my partner’s family’s place along with my USB-C SSD that has some files I thought I might need on it; however, I managed to forget the USB-C charging cable for my computer. I ended up using the USB-C cable that came with my SSD. It’s not charging at full speed, but it’s working!

I’ve been thinking more about the navigation of their little helicopter.

On earth were used to being able to use GPS for route planning. If you could use this process in reverse to constantly determine ones position in 3D space above the surface using stored satellite imagery with a downward facing camera cross referenced with whatever gyro / accelerometer based positioning they’re using I wonder if there’d be any benefit. Maybe what they’ve got already is sufficient for anything you’d want to do in the near future.

Something worth reading into are the Nile Water Treaties put into place under British rule of the area, which strongly favour Egypt.

This has come up due to Ethiopia’s Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and the plans being made on how quickly to fill up its reservoir.

I mention this as making forests in the desert is going to end up being a political issue and will likely be used in arguments over water rights in the region, even if its total draw is inconsequential.

Now, which email clients does this render properly in! I'm looking forwards to diving through this.

That derives from the system they’re operating in though. In a capitalist society the notion that unless compelled by government intervention people and corporations will act in their own self interest is exactly what I’d expect.

If a company is filling a role and 2 similar applicants get matching offers and one accepts the first and the other negotiates I wouldn’t expect the company to go back to the first person and offer him more to bring them to parity.

“If [auto makers] don’t accept software companies writing the code for their cars, they’re going to end up like the phone companies that didn't accept Android,” Mr. Hotz said.

An interesting comparison, but I'm not buying it.
