The only suprising thing here is that some journalist seem to assume these tests are 100% acurrate. Assume they are less than 100% accurate and many of these kind of headlines can be dismissed.

I was about to answer with right I know, how comes my kids have almost zero interest in it. I used to play entire afternoons with it, especially the Technic kind.

Not a contradiction. Voluntary exchange is central to Capitalism. Option to resist excessive marketing is within the framework. It's a cultural thing which some sub-cultures are better at then others.

It's the author giving you a hint that what follows is over 9000.

All the tech and theory was already out there. There was no shortage of visionaries. Take for example Engelbart's Mother of all Presentations (1968). Paik, like many artist showed that art and poetry is in that domain. In the early days there was alot of talk about abstract capabilities and not much concrete play.

Most planes use turbine bleed air to pressurize the cabin. This of course implies that the plane has a turbine and a cabin that can hold positive pressure. They are usually $500/h+ planes.

Sometimes. Speed of sound decreases with temperature. At any flight level above 300 speed of sound stays the same and the increases with altitude.

Started with CS/Space Engineering then had an intermission with two art degrees in Bay Aera and NY and then started doing open hardware projects. Initially multitouch stuff around the time the iPhone came out, then an open source laser cutter, and more recently an adaptive oxygen system for pilots.

Occasionally I also do art projects with decent sales through a NY gallery.

I have always seen art as exploratory, a frontier where you push what is thinkable and communicable. An example would be the literary pioneers that preceded space exploration. In other words playtime to widen your perception before you narrow down on a problem and solve it.

Yes, see PLA made from corn starch.

You could say the frustration of interaction is already apparent. The fact I cannot cut in right after a cow is so lame yet so familiar as a Windows user of the 90s.

Same. Although Youtube recommendations are very good at times.

True. Here is the thing that works well in Austria: the ramen stage. The standard of living you can have on little income is phenomenal. Hardly a country like it. The trick is to keep all the capital in the company, pay the 25% corporate income tax, and only cash out once you made it. Total taxes will still be in the 50% range but if you fail you will still have had a nice ride.

Hiring people in Austria is another issue. Part of the high standard of living is all the employee protections. E.g. by US standards there is an ungodly amount of holidays. If you are a core team of founders or hire people remotely this can be mitigated.

Actually counter intuitive why Austrians tend to be more risk adverse. It's really a mental block rather than a systemic issue.

The term is certainly no exaggeration if you look at what an autopilot does in a plane. Keep attitude, maybe turn to next waypoint. All in all super primitive to what a Tesla does.
