Unfortunately there are many counterexamples, large animals that live long in the wild tend to have shorter lives in zoos, like elephants, hippos, and monkeys.

Most consumers are familiar with the 802.11 standards

Lol, no. Not in any way.

Anyone have an recent example of FDC Willard being thanked in a paper? I couldn’t find any, sadly

Christian Horner?

Yeah, F1 driver Max Verstappen is in a similar situation. Clearly insanely talented, but probably got there by having a childhood which was pretty fucked up (left at gas station by father in Italy if he lost a karting race, etc.).

Maybe we miss out on a couple of savants without this kind of treatement, but it is a pretty good tradeoff, especially if you think about all the kids that did not make it to the top, and just had a abusive childhood without anything to show for it.

Wikipedia actually has an article about it. They are mainly bothered by the unreadability of it. Editors can indeed bundle citations as you suggest, but it takes some manual effort.

Citation overkill is also a bit of a red flag for edit wars, or barely-notable things that someone really wants to have on a wiki page.

Uhh, yes they do. This does not take much googling to find out. Capitalist companies produce spices in the east too.

Bullshit. I can use docker without the docker hub very easily. Anyone can host docker images, and docker allows this, no weird hacks needed.

Docker does not lock you in with the docker hub though. So no hostage taking.

They will shame you, for your messy code. People suck sometimes.

Moissanite is chemically different to diamond (SiC vs C), has a different crystal structure, and is less hard. You can also get actual lab-grown diamond, but they are quite expensive. But you probabaly won’t be able to tell the difference anyway.

I mean, yeah, basically. It’s really not very complicated.

When doing stuff, my grandfather would sometimes say:

“Even small things help”, said the fly, and she pissed into the sea.

Always made me laugh.

German also does this. I think a good 20% of all verbs are just variations of “ziehen” (to pull).

No (or very limited) editing in Okular…

Miracast is basically just wireless HDMI

The micro USB standard was also an EU thing, just voluntary, and not just for Apple.

Yes, but under treath of lawmakers mandating a single standard. And the EU has now forced a single standard anyway on smartphones, tablets, etc.

Although I agree that there are quite a few examples of a “naturally emerging” single standards without lawmaker intervention, but this is not really one of them…

Yes

Don’t underestimate a pi! If you have a 3 or up, it can easily handle a few more things.
