No, not just cost. Take a cessna columbus. An 8 seater executive jet. They chose to put fly by wire only on flaps. Is it because of cost? I doubt it. Pilots like "fly by wire" and people would gladly pay a 100k more for it on a $2

And that is why I think it is absolutely, mind bogglingly bonkers that Tesla is currently using "drive by wire" in a mass production car when this technology is not common in aviation at all. Only the huge airliners that benefit f

There was no smartphones back then :-) I think I had a blue Ericsson phone that had a tiny one color lcd display and no camera. Now, things are different, but my argument is specifically that taking photos is does not have to be in contrast

Pawpaw is just a papaya, right? If so and you decide to give it another try, try putting some fresh lime/lemon juice (half by half, not either/or) into the crater left by removing the seeds. I also didn't like them, but now I

Putting the entirety of Europe into one basket of "farmland practices" is really not a correct way to approach this. There are countries that have lots of tiny farmers, there are countries that have small number of huge farms. Pra

I'm the opposite, 20+ years ago I visited places with people that are long dead by now. I can barely remember their faces. I'd love to have some photos from that time.
