the glass on this one looks to be really high quality/low iron. I know it's window wall based on the installation, but it looks so uniform, I actually thought it might be curtain wall from some angles

I really hope I don't jinx it by saying this, but I'm really impressed with how well the panels are aligned in relation to each other. Given all the creases, that's no easy task! From what I've seen thus far, the panel gaps are remarkably uniform! Also, I'm really excited to see the...

"I judge people with different opinions" is a weird take. People are allowed to evaluate based on what they've seen so far. I've already given objective rationale for why I think this is being handled less than ideal; the exposed fasteners, and poor corner handling being the most obvious signs...

looking great! this one really surpassed my expectations

I avoid any condo with wrap-around balconies. The clutter, trash, cigarette butts, bird poop is a lot. Not to mention I rarely use the balcony, yet it blocks my view 24/7. Above the ~15th floor, balconies are useless. I'm glad we're getting more curtain wall "floor to ceiling" window buildings...

I like this building/design, but the attention to detail is seriously disappointing. Exposed fasteners, clunky corner handling, poor window/cladding transitions. Comparing this to The One is wild to me. The difference in execution is appreciable even from a distance; up close, it's not even...

wrap-around balconies are the worst, laziest design choice IMO

it's kind of a shame that the corners aren't handled any better :/

My biggest concern is the exposed fasteners. I was wishfully hoping we'd see the panels tack welded to the frame, but there's no way they could've done that at scale. Another solution would've been to have the panels manufactured with mounts that could be fastened from behind or something like...

It's funny how much better that building looks better in person than it does in that pdf

No it isn't. Rigid rules are useful when your safety margins are razor thin; that would make sense for launching people into space, but not for the regular airline industry that has to move around thousands of people per day. Imagine grounding a flight because 1 passenger ate an extra donut...

Ya, this is a really unfortunate situation, and IMO, having rigid rules with no tolerance makes no sense in the real world. The Mini 5 Pro has a listed weight of 249.9g, but there will obviously be variances. I'm sure that was the case for the 4 Pro, and any other drone. I'm certainly not...

I got one too! I got the Fly More Plus bundle, so I actually have to apply for a certificate (regardless of the weight uncertainty). First impressions is that this thing is incredible compared to my Phantom 4, which has a 1/2.3" sensor; less than half the size of this one in a much bigger and...

I think I saw you say that this was taken with the DJI Mini 5 Pro? The low light performance is insane! I just picked one up too, coming from a Phantom 4 that I got back in 2016. This has more than double the sensor size in such a tiny package!

It's so sad that this didn't get the height increase to make it more uniform (3 groups of floors per stack) :(
