I've been curious lately about how various devices and software use ultrasonics in their operations.
For example, Zoom uses my laptop's microphone (and presumably speaker) when syncing up with a conference room.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Which is worse?
Take too long on something because you're spending so much time getting it right before calling it finished?
OR
Getting something out the door quickly but then you have to pull it back because it was released in a broken state?
