I don't think the average person has much choice in term of whether they use ad-based products or not. Where do you go to pay for a search engine? Even paid newspapers and paid cable TV is serving us ads.

Reading NTSB reports on (fatal) GA airplane accidents, most of them involve the plane burning down on impact. I'd say the current state of affairs isn't very glorious in term of fire risk, for planes using AVGAS.

There's evidence that accident rates and health issues increase by a significant margin right after the clock change that causes a reduction of night sleep by 1h. The book "Why We Sleep" makes a really good argument about it

This doesn't matter if the goal is just to sneak them into Ukrainian airspace to an airfield. The goal isn't to fight or engage AA, it's just to move them from NATO airspace into Ukrainian hands without being noticed.

If they fly low enough, I don't think radar will catch them. But I'm not an expert.

I'm gonna guess that this is only true for the higher altitudes, simply due to the curvature of the earth and the inability of radars to target below a certain angle above the horizon.

I think this feeling goes away over time as you gain more experience and see how others are doing in the industry. There's a never ending tension between not breaking prod (having bugs) and shipping. In most places, you can't stop

Russian forces are mostly conscripts, so it's not that much better. They probably have marginally better training, but they're less motivated. Also, there's military service in Ukraine. The average civilian probably has a dec

What are the odds that enough of them would spontaneously self organize in an unexpectedly coordinated attack, randomly located within the same region, in a long term persistent manner... just for fun?

It seems to me that the whole gas debacle between Germany and Russia has been foretold for the last 20 years. That'd have been a good time to start booking the contractor. And I'm really baffled as to why Germany is shutting down

Russia isn't a credible long term strategic threat to the US in the way that China is. Russia is a declining belligerent power attacking a country of lesser importance (to the US) than Taiwan. China is a much more dynamic country that&

In a cold blooded way, staying out of Ukraine is a way for the US to remain focused and available for Taiwan. Which realistically is a more important entity than Ukraine for the US.

There's plenty of techies in Ottawa with the means, motives and opportunities to perform this action. People over there are quite annoyed at the truckers, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's someone related who's annoyed

A lot of composite artifacts are fairly easy to repair already, assuming you accept some degradation of performance since the newly bonded media and resin won't be chemically attached, but mechanically instead.

My understanding was that most GA accidents occur in the 50 to 350 flight hours of pilots. By this, perhaps the issue isn't of handpicking the best of the best, but more that they, by definition, survived the early filter.

Then why did Lyft and Uber, Dropbox and Box, come from SV, from the same time period? I just pulled these from my brain with little recall, which tells me your argument probably has a lot of contradictory examples.

I think you're out of touch with the shear amount of base knowledge you had to accumulate to get to the point where all this seems like 8th grader level. It _is_ simple in the end, most of the time, but it's a freaking mile high p

Not a pro but AFAIK the threshold for anyone saying "yup we found life" would be very high and probably that the instruments currently deployed on Mars wouldn't possibly suffice to convince someone at NASA to make that call.

Are you heating up your house with 16.6KWh per day? Seems low for an electrically heated home. The other problem with using cars to feed the grid is that you need inverters large enough to do so in each house. That's not a cheap soluti
