I made an app
----
I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve officially launched a new app! This journey has been an incredible masterclass in problem-solving and perseverance. I’m so excited to finally share this vision with the world and continue driving innovation in the space. #BuildingInPublic #Innovation #TechJourney #Entrepreneurship
The point the story tries to make is that the Hawk learned traffic signals. That is not necessarily the case. It could be that the hawk just sees that the cars are blocking the sight of the prey.
Still an intelligent action, only does not mean the hawk understands the signal itself.
The suggestion is that the hawk hears the signal and knows that the line of cars is about to be unusually long in a minute, so it prepares by flying into position.
the story as told outlines that the hawk will stage itself when it hears the sound of the crosswalk, in anticipation of the line of traffic getting long enough for it to use as concealment.
There are big disadvantages from choosing e g. 5th normal form: any changing in business requirements leads to a big rewrite and data conversion.
Never seen successful projects choosing beyond 3rd/BCNF.
What I missed in the piece is a description on how they did against the Dutch. Both Spanish and French were more ‘land type’ armies, as a Dutchmen I remember in the history wé were taught that the Dutch punched above their weight on sea warefare.
Indeed, if I had to wager, I would assume that the English against the Portuguese or the Dutch would do worse then against the Spanish or French, given the same firepower/size of ships etc.
(For the record, did not check ‘the mighty internet’ whether my gut feelings are supported by facts)
(Edit: but -> both)
Weren't Dutch ships much smaller but more numerous than the English? What I remember is reading that this made Dutch ships more maneuverable and more capable of piracy. They were good at harassing ports too.
Have a complete different experience. As a physical major, did a famous Millikan's oil drop experiment. Am a terrible experimentalist (went on to do my PhD in theoretical physics), so we got a charge of about 1/3 of the charge of an electron.
Now, as I did not get a Nobel prize, I did not actually measure the charge of a single quark, but still got good enough grades for this study.
