I do think this is ridiculously anti-social. Sonic booms are incredibly disruptive. This might be better, perhaps, but all odds are on this still shaking your house pretty significantly when it goes overhead.

Here’s anectodal evidence from someone who experienced this first hand and describes it very differently from “omg so antisocial, it’ll be so loud”: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48741654#48742029 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48741654#48742029
- jauntywundrkind 4mo agoIt still sounds like what I know of from sonic booms, a very pronounced hard thump. On a small model. Having your whole house shake a couple times a day seems not ideal. The fighter jets I've heard were one of the most visceral full body experiences I've ever felt, all reality vibrating from the impact of the boom. I could be wrong but it seems so so so probable that this is going to make the world quite a lot worse.
- JumpCrisscross 4mo agoI’m not seeing any real arguments in those comments. They shouldn’t be flagged. But they’re fine being downvoted for being reflexively, substancelessly critical in a cliched way.
