Until The Market™, especially in the US, starts dealing with externalities (like climate change), it should not. Something like carbon pricing (per Greenspan and Volcker):
True. But the GPS receiver doesn't know whether you are on the surface or not (and at what elevation), so it must always assume 3d space, hence a sphere.
Not wrong, but I think most folks are interested in lat-long.
If you have lat-long and place it on a pre-canned map, then it's unlikely that most people will be either underground or in the air, and so whatever the surface elevation of the lat-long on the map is, that's most likely (>99% of the time?) where the person is.
At least from a UX/responsiveness perspective, this is probably a good way to do the math. (In the background get a more accurate 3D fix.)
I think that glass is under-appreciated. Without it we would not have telescopes and microscopes (and all the scientific (and later engineering) that came from them), and later movies and photography—the latter also led to photolithography.
Would also need laters: modern communications would be much different if we still had to use copper cable (esp. over long distances), or microwave relays.
Not only his systemized thinking, but his metaphysics—especially since it got later taken up by Christianity/Catholicism. I doubt we would have gotten to Naturalism (and modern science) without his influence:
I agree. And modern Western science and political thought has followed Aristotle far more than Plato. In particular, the parts of Aristotle's science that got thrown out was the result of following out his empirical method further than he was able to. We have also followed his empirical approach to political philosophy rather than Plato's Republic.
With Asus you can use third-party firmware (e.g., Merlin): is that possible with Netgear?
