Basic … that kind of word give me nightmare in my mind when you talked about maths … still remember a book called “elementary set theory” …

My favorite example is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Number_Theory

"The title is the same as that of a very well-known book by Professor L. E. Dickson (with which ours has little in common). We proposed at one time to change it to 'An introduction to arithmetic', a more novel and in some ways a more appropriate title; but it was pointed out that this might lead to misunderstandings about the content of the book."

            G.H. Hardy and E. M. Wright "An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers"

"The word `basic’ in the title is closer in meaning to `foundational’ rather than `elementary’ [...]" (quoted from that same wikipedia page).

The one math majors joke about is Serra’s A Course in Arithmetic, which is definitely not for young children.

I remember a joke along the lines of "elementary" meaning that someone somewhere has solved it before.

"Any question in maths is either unsolved or obvious."

Not all. But some may. And in case you were shut down someone else can continue and one day it may be resurfaced perhaps even in USA.

Hi there, I have updated the webpage to include all countries/all years. It will give you a warning that the PDF is large. https://cia-factbook-archive.fly.dev/export

Only 100 years. Less than even Leica ? Wow!

Wonder about power usage.

Because not everyone can read the source. Hence might be better to say let us have better summary or take, not just post to the source guy.

Concerned but given the use can it be stopped ?

Yes. If one knows that someone has their identifiable data without consent it is a problem.

While they are pictures on the internet it is one thing, when you gather them all and put a label with a number then it is problematic.

Remember that FaceApp to make you older, younger etc? Imagine how much data those guys collected?

I know someone who submitted the face of a member of my family without consent. You could not even complain without agreeing with the TOS first

Unfortunately we will see this kind of cases more and more with AI rise. I don't believe it is the only app that could do relevant labeled searching in faces etc.

Not hobby. Taking photo is always key to life for many.

Before phone for major event like graduation, wedding and baby birth people do buy one camera with one lens for the occasion and keep it as a family heirloom like. And even students gala and performances. Whilst a lot of point and shot, slr and later dslr are common. The key it is not a hobby to them but a life even to record.

Unlike people like us canon and nikon found it hard to sell the second lens or even second body.

Olympus is one of the few camera (I literally have hundreds as this is my side hobby) I love to use. Until every time I want to change anything. As a guy who can do 8x10, gfx, 907x, z9 etc I still find the menu system totally confusing.

It is not the hardware, it is the software …

I don't know, man. They're very customizable, and some models have memory banks. I never need to go in the menus of my pen-f. And The OM-1 has a much improved menu system, with a customizable "my menu" page, which opens directly, on which you can stick your most used menu items (but, sadly, it's not included in the saved memory banks).

Furthermore, I find the physical buttons on the om1 are so customizable and can do so many things, that I never go in the menu, either. I haven't tried new models from the other makers, but the olympus models I have are much nicer to use than my old canon 40d and nikon d80.

I had to think about this a while since my Olympus is my go to camera just because I love using it but I agree some of the menus are mildly confusing....though leaps ahead of sony

Let us say Star Wars. Until someone has a daughter and suddenly found out there is no nothing between them and then he should we say now we have one then very annoying girl Jedi forced onto the team.
