You can be arrested for speech offenses, like a Facebook or Twitter post. Plenty of solid examples on Internet.

A paramotor is an ultralight in Europe and requires license, I completed the flying school for that category (fast-tracked as I already have a license for airplanes), but I never moved to take the exam, still I am aware of the regulations.

I am doing code reviews for a large manufacturing company with dozens of plants; that code is supposed to be deployed everywhere, so the entire company is at stake. I insist on doing code review in areas where static analysis tools are comp

You can easily build capacities, but it requires will and money, both are missing.

I read somewhere that more than 50% of London population is immigrants. The immigrants bear no guilt for what English people did in the past, if they live in a house built with money coming from colonialism, they paid money for that, did no

When people describe the UK situation like these, they are cancelled, downvoted to hell and called right wing extremists. I am positively surprised you were not downvoted or flagged. What is UK trying to achieve? To maintain, as much as pos

15k feet is not G class airspace (uncontrolled) in most of the world, that means you need radio contact with FIR, radio license, training etc. This is not your regular ultralight.

They are the only thing an old pilot can continue to fly after they can no longer pass a strict medical check. For this purpose, they are perfect. For random people trying to fly without training they are a natural selection tool.

You can bet that people that fly these planes without a license also don't spend the time and money to get a radio license; that automatically prevents from flying to or from a towered airport. These ultra-light planes are practically

No, in Europe you are not allowed to fly anything without a license.

That is the least concern. Spatial disorientation is the reason.

What is qualified: trained or certified? There is a small difference between the 2 in terms of knowledge and experience, but a big one in legalities.

Here in Romania the instructors usually teach you a bit about flying only with instruments, exactly because it is so dangerous if you don't know how to do it. All the pilots that I know personally (statistically irelevant, I agree) wit

NTSB conclusion released a few days ago practically calls the crew incompetent (with nice words: "crew's ineffective crew resource management, high workload and stress").

As an outsider (European), I don't understand the reasoning for the dissenting opinion; I read it as: "you have a right, granted by the US Constitution (1A), but if the state has an interest that is in conflict with that right the

I heard about commercial pilots making mistakes, but not to be plain incompetent. Reading the article, even the transcription of the radio conversation is one example - I don't need the author of the article explain what is wrong there

I read the article in disbelief. It sounds more like a dumb-and-dumber situation than a real situation in a cockpit with decently competent pilots, especially the captain is depicted as totally incompetent, from the initial radio communicat

"No true Scotsman" ... But then you do it again, based on what? Why the first is sane and why the second is not? Who decides that?

Using pronouns on business cards in 1999 or 1976 was also inappropriate. If you did that in 1976, people would consider you are a lunatic, according to my parents that did have business cards at that time.

No, there is no problem with tolerance. I grew up in 2 cultures with 3 different religions and I am extremely supportive with people having whatever religion they want, but not tolerant at all with either them trying to convert me or trying

Is "referred in the third person" something flexible, like a preference? If yes, where is the limit, if any limit exists? Or is it like a nickname, where you can chose anything? Then it is no longer a pronoun, but a nickname or al

2 places: 1. family and extended family. Not everyone, but some are great. 2. Communities based on your hobbies or passions; for example, I ride motorcycles and I built a small team that go on tours across Europe and I am in progress to do

One reason is complexity: with a computer it is easy to go more and more complex, while with electronics it is not - one is very limited in what you can build without going to pay a lot on parts and equipment and even then you are still lim

Computers like Commodore 64 or Sinclair Spectrum were relatively affordable and available in the 80's. They disappeared in the early 90's (replaced by PC compatibles), that answer is only a few years off.

Kuryer was a movie that impressed me much when I saw it first, back in ~ 1988. I searched for it for 30 years and I found it on Internet a few years ago, I saw it again and I got the same hit in the head as in '88. It is not a light mo

Having these movies, and many others, on YouTube is a net positive. I already saw most of Tarkovsky's movies, but I found on Mosfilm's account on YT a few more good movies, it will be a good way to spend the nights during this sum

I worked in an airport in Europe for several years: it depends on the country, the airport and the flight (some commercial flights had special security requirements, extremely strict).

US taxes used to be zero most of the existence of US. Compared to most countries, US taxes are high. California has total taxes higher than a few European countries, so when we talk about high taxes this is the context(perspective) for me.

You are saying this started 3-400 years ago? Then why is it visible just now?
