This is really cool!

Only enhancement I can think of would be the option of using the FAA published (and free) sectional maps instead of the satellite view. In combination with the 3d airspace you did, would be amazing!

There are three different lenses on the iPhone 16 Pro. Which one gets used is determined by the "zoom" level you pick. The "0.5x" picks the widest angle lens, the "1x" and "2x" use the same lens, and the "5x" uses the third lens.

If you wish to reduce optical distortion and can get farther away from the subject, you'll want to pick the "5x" zoom. Think somebody else here said it was a 105mm equivalent, which sounds about right.

Intermediate values are obviously crops... although given that the 0.5x and the 1x lens are both 48mp sensors (IIRC), and the resulting image is typically 12mp, it doesn't make as big of a quality difference as one might ordinarily think.

They did say there was a windows client in the keynote.

I don't see how it would cause rent to rise, unless it somehow increased demand for housing.

Which, I suppose, it might if it made it possible for the homeless to actually be able to find homes.... of course, I fail to see how that would be a bad thing.

Why should my tax dollars subsidize businesses who don't want to provide enough incentive for people to come work for them?

I'm all for a UBI, but it should be enough to live on, and not (effectively) just the government paying wages on behalf of companies who don't want to pay for labor.

Full pension, and a gold watch I'm sure. What else?

That's a fairly psychopathic take on the situation.

The Porsche Taycan has a two speed transmission that works quite well, so while Tesla couldn't pull it off, it's clearly possible.

You mean the state with one of the lowest effective property tax rates in the country? Your property tax is pegged to 1% of the purchase price, and essentially never goes up ever again.

One of the only (if not the only) state where that happens.

The main reason not to own in CA is the insane purchase price, not the taxes.

To be fair, it's not really like Prius's out there accelerate regardless of intention.

My local whole foods in SF (Noe Valley) is very frequently sold out of produce I want. Broccoli, spinach, and onions in particular it seems.

Super frustrating.

The thing that killed ZFS on the Mac was the NetApp lawsuit over it against Sun.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I sold 14k shares (adjusted for splits) back in 2002 to buy a used car.

Didn't have nearly as much room as that house I coulda bought in SF. :-/

To be fair, _all_ of them would have closed without the massive government bailout.

If the American auto industry had totally collapsed, there wouldn't have been any cars to sell.
