Boston has bike lanes, so... that would usually work.

Except that it's not. In the UK you can go to prison for pot, which is less dangerous than (for example) horseback riding. Its the situation which is absurd, not the comparison.

Yes, it can be dangerous, but it's a risk you can manage yourself. Probably what Michael Schumacher thought to himself, back when he could still think.

As do I, but he's a poster on HN and not on a flight with me, and I have considerations for the value of my time and the integrity of my sanity when dealing with people who think that "intentionally obtuse" is a position in a

What do you use for the encryption?

Torque. It must be a low-range, diesel beast . It probably can't go that fast, but it's probably harder to stop than a single locomotive. Young me does want.

I think we've reached that point at which I'd be happy to buckle my seatbelt and let you walk around the cabin to your heart's content. I am not your parent.

I have to ask, do you have anything to say regarding the content, or just the style? You seem so passionate about that content, but you never address it, just lament that it was hard done by. That strikes me as either myopic, or dishonest.

That's pretty disgusting, and the kind of "sneaky" you'd expect from an overly precocious child. Then again, it actually does match the combination of passive aggression and thwarted control-freak that I've come to

That's both true, and misleading. It is accurate in our universe to certain limits, which is true for literally every theory we have.

I don't know about that. I think mostly it has to do with having the power to pick and choose critical service providers, bully them, etc. If Michael Jackson and Steve Jobs had not been as wealthy and powerful as they had been, they wo

"According to information The Aviation Herald received on March 4th 2017 the CL-604 passed 1000 feet below an Airbus A380-800 while enroute over the Arabian Sea, when a short time later (1-2 minutes)" They saw the plane, and 1-2 m

I mean you say that, but wasn't this an accident predicated on not being aware of the positions of other planes? You're basically saying that we should plan for accidents, because wearing a seatbelt is somehow... what? Cumbersom

In the 1-2 minutes between this thing booming past them, and being sent into a spin... you want them telling people to buckle up? That doesn't seem like the easier solution; it mostly sounds like a way to have people still hurrying in

There's a reason that people with money and power don't always experience good outcomes. Sure, you can do what you like on your jet, and therefore expose yourself to risk that most people never experience. Likewise skiing off-pist

When I was in single digits, my mother and I were coming home from an international flight and the plane was struck by lightning. We lost a bit of altitude (felt like a TON of altitude subjectively), and yeah... it was a damned good thing w

That's a website promoting a new NatGeo/DiCaprio film.

It talks about it, but it's based on a series of links to issues that were specific to psychology/psychiatry/brain-imaging. I'm not saying that the broader point isn't valid, but it's certainly not supported.

Even better, add settings the user can tweak for which heuristic setup you want. Put it behind enough layers of dashboards that it doesn't terrify the average user.

The trick then is just find the key word or phrase they all share, - it out, and you're back in business. Searching has always taken some work on the searcher's part, and Google is selling a product, not offering a charitable serv

I think it doesn't matter that much to most people... only the results matter. You can really hear that in the blog we're responding to here. There's no need to worry about motives and all of the other bullshit, they just nee

The question is how it works, and whether or not it works as advertised. In that sense, no it does not work.

Yeah, presumably you're not going to get into trouble if a pigeon divebombs your drone, although, you know... you'd want to naturally avoid that anyway. I would hope the other restrictions would apply to "other than takeoff a

You've taken nothing at all from the argument. If human civilization fails, then it's just a matter of time before the species does as well. More importantly, what value would there be in a handful of devastated humans scratching

I have to applaud them for what appear to me, to be fairly reasonable rules. Some altitude restrictions, and apparently people need to be told to stay away from areas where emergency operations are taking place... nothing burdensome.
