Their old number 1/number 2/etc was incredibly efficient and swept through the entire fast food industry.

Has anyone seen a report or analysis or similar on why they abandoned that incredibly fast and effective system and replaced it with a purchase UX (both kiosk and at the counter signage) which looks pretty incompetent to the casual observer.

This sort of problem is also an issue with things like the Neuralink chip and other brain implant technologies.

The problem is the regulatory environment on two fronts. First ( in Canada) the pesticides I'd like to use are not registered for drone application, even if they are registered for application from helicopter or plane.

Second, I don't have priority airspace rights. Which means I have to have a person watching both the drone and surrounding airspace for crop dusters or personal low flying aircraft. Even if I file a flight plan weeks ahead of time and a NOTAM [notice to all airmen] i am required to ground my drone if an aircraft with a person is nearby. Even if they have failed to file NOTAMs, which in the case of my local spray dudes is 100% of the time. This makes completing a scouting or spraying job more labour intensive than using a tractor because I often require a spotter at the far end of a field.

Until the regulatory issues are sorted out, and drones can be operated with Beyond Visual Line of Sight rules, you won't see massa adoption of this tech.

My drone fleet is sitting and collecting dust at the moment, which is a shame because they do provide valuable information.

I'd find it so much easier to trust claims that something had been built with screen readers in mind if those claims were accompanied by video evidence of the core flows working with those tools!

They aren't "aligned" past the first step. They are aligned on "not the current US-dominated world order". Past that, they aren't aligned at all.

And they aren't friends. They are interested in using each other to help with the first step, and that is all.
