Hi, by coincidence, I am a camera collector, too. This is the least value collection, I could recall. It is hard to judge WHAT was guiding the person to collect these particular incarnations of no sentiment whatsoever.
As an explanation, I could share, that we, collectors, strive to either glorify the magic of exposed wood, or that of exposed brass, or sophistication, inventiveness of optics' design, possibly character of a distant period to be grasped by the observer. Essentially, none is present in this collection, thus it is up to you, to be mislead by this particular "sensation".
Jeez, nice 'better than you' comment.

I guess the deal is that its pretty nuanced honestly, there's so many players in the game of attention and they're all doing it for different reasons. Companies want to be seen to be doing the Big Good for minority groups so they can get the Money. Other folk just wanna see folk like them in the media so they can see that they aren't alone. Its hard to understand if you're not in the Queer Crew from before the Internet and even now, you were or still are alone and surrounded by people who hate you for who you are, and you had to pretend to be Them.
Submission + - Quantum Radar Has Been Demonstrated For the First Time (technologyreview.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Shabir Barzanjeh at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria and a few colleagues have used entangled microwaves to create the world’s first quantum radar. Their device, which can detect objects at a distance using only a few photons, raises the prospect of stealthy radar systems that emit little detectable electromagnetic radiation. The device is simple in essence. The researchers create pairs of entangled microwave photons using a superconducting device called a Josephson parametric converter. They beam the first photon, called the signal photon, toward the object of interest and listen for the reflection. In the meantime, they store the second photon, called the idler photon. When the reflection arrives, it interferes with this idler photon, creating a signature that reveals how far the signal photon has traveled. Voila—quantum radar!
The researchers go on to compare their quantum radar with conventional systems operating with similarly low numbers of photons and say it significantly outperforms them, albeit only over relatively short distances. That’s interesting work revealing the significant potential of quantum radar and a first application of microwave-based entanglement. But it also shows the potential application of quantum illumination more generally. A big advantage is the low levels of electromagnetic radiation required. Then there is the obvious application as a stealthy radar that is difficult for adversaries to detect over background noise. The researchers say it could be useful for short-range low-power radar for security applications in closed and populated environments.

They're more like the gig economy. You-tubers in a sense produce content that Google agrees to host, and place advertisements on. In return the youtuber will receive a portion of the revenue generated by that. Because this is a new form of labor, there's reason to change how unions are defined. Unions exist where there is an imbalance of power between two parties that have a financial relationship. Google is abruptly changing conditions based on undefined rules to the other party and depriving them of an income that they were led to believe would be stable as long as they followed its rules. Rules which google seems to be only partially disclosing.
