Typically, the manufacturer's diagnostic tool can download data from the fast stop recorder. An accident investigator should be able to access it for you.

Despite Don mentioning gravity along with deltaV he is obviously attempting to describe the classic rocket equation without scaring people away with the math.

Right, if you attempt to smuggle a listed banned item through. If you get there and say, "crap it says no ulus (knives)" no problem. Happens at ANC all day long.

Those innocuous items are banned because they are supposedly, either directly dangerous, or just too difficult to verify as safe (liquids). But you'll find TSA has no problem with you choosing to leave the airport with your oversized s

It is absolutely true that 'the rocket equation' doesn't account for thrust. It also doesn't account for gravity gradients, aerodynamic drag, relativity, solar wind, the cosmological constant... It's very accurate w

Bias toward moderation is a trade-off. Attempting to minimize it seems naive. At the extreme end, a legislature consisting of communists, anarchists, facists, theocrats, and hippies wouldn't accomplish anything but igniting civil war.

I don't know it. Laws get written and enforced for lots of reasons, enforcing morality and protecting the population are among them.

If people don't like it, they are free to direct their governments to enact and enforce anti-trust laws that address these platforms.

It also marked the end of a major multi-year project. With Deepmind moving that team to focus on other problems I wouldn't expect immediate results.

This renderer wouldn't really help with that problem though would it? It sounds like what you could use is software to transform that curved path into a straight line so you can look at it end on.

Pretty sure this project is dead: http://groups.csail.mit.edu/cag/biostream/ But it has some pretty neat examples, not doing computation, but a programmable system for moving, storing, and mixing samples.
