Yeah, but this is really only applicable to VFR-only airplanes (mostly trainers). I doubt there are many people really traveling in airplanes without any sort of precision nav equipment. Practically, it doesn't matter which direction

How do you know you prefer unregulated markets? I'm coming up on 45 and through my whole life, markets have been regulated in favor of corporate officers and the government agencies and officials paid to represent them.

I'm surprised no one asks themselves how much of a stretch it would be for Facebook to lie about ad revenue when it repeatedly lies to advertisers about ad metrics.

Not true, even the lowly rental C172 with 3 shades of paint and carpet at any raggedy flight school will have a gyro based indicator. Magnetic course calculation is only taught at the initial license level and to instructors. Anyone else i

It is not a service, if it's a link to a download and a bunch of community-developed plugins. When you take away the motivation to mitm all of the users' chats, there's nothing left.

It seemed apparent to me when I did that Strapi had contracted development of what they had and we’re not very keen on fixing it themselves. Basic 1st project setup things didn’t work, etc.

I think you’re assuming people are incapable of determining scope on their own, just like you’re assuming that programmatic testing is a magic bullet for finding software regressions / bugs. Both assumptions are wrong. You are aware th

I love it, have used it for lots of little things over the years. Suggestion: when I last used it, loops was a third party add on, you should look at getting that into the core, maybe hire the dev of the add on?

Helicopters don’t generally have autopilots but for fixed wing, most autopilots have a serial service port that can fly the device. It’s not a stretch to go from there to a Bluetooth -> serial adapter. I remember years ago one android ap

No, but there are signs of distress, IMO. I think their decline in usage has resulted in a decline in port maintainers, which is a bigger deal now that systemd is the default on Linux for so many things. In the 32 bit days it wasn’t hard t

Bullshit. How many minimum wage employees does Google have in the Bay Area? We’re talking about a class of six figure employees here. Like he said, you’re a storm trooper, just own it.

Is it nonsense? For a tech company to tell the news press that it isn’t allowed to talk about a pres candidate’s crackhead son two weeks before an election? When crackhead son mysteriously had a 400k/yr job from a foreign corporation?

That in itself requires clarification. There have been years in which Facebook is caught lying about as metrics in all 12 months. Do ad agencies care if x number of units sell, or do they care that a report cause the commission check to cle

I also remember. The previous generation DRM tool (macrovision) only needed a simple ~5 dollar filter to defeat. You could buy aftermarket boxes that would strip it in-line, plug and play style, for about 10-20 dollars in the early 90s. Th
