Lay flat seems pretty common internationally, United Polaris for example...

I spent some time on this a while ago and it's not quite as simple as I'd hoped. People typically need to be facing/laying along the axis of flight for the seatbelt to work. If you're laying at 90 degrees and there'

Saw one of these the other day and proved that it used OpenStreetMap data, couldn't find any attribution anywhere but I didn't have the device for long. ... so it's violating the ODbL too.

Try EMDR? I met an EMDR person once who I think roughly accurately describes CBT as how to deal with issues, and EMDR solves them so you don't have to deal with them in the first place. Worth a try.

Dr Fung has been doing this for a long time, and it's not dangerous at all. My longest fast was for 14 days just water, though I wasn't diabetic. Fung has lots of articles on Medium and /r/fasting is a great resource. Fu

Maybe we could use John Boyd spinning in his grave as a kind of power source to reduce costs?

I just read a book about Henry Ford. They evolved the model T rapidly so models coming off the line weeks or months apart had significant differences. They kept evolving it for years Reminded me of the model 3. So, I don't have a ton

Yeah it worked great when we had 100 data points. Another thing to fix :-)

Ha. Well right now a) we most likely have no idea where an ip address is and b) even if we do, it's nearest-city accuracy.... which is exactly what everyone else does. Denying browser location doesn't stop the app or website from

I've been working on and off on a system to build this data for free - https://www.open-geo-ip.com/ It uses your browser location to build the data, bootstrapped with Mechanical Turk workers around the world. It has on

Unless someone has ever used an auto pilot in something like a Cessna, that person would probably have a wildly overoptimistic idea of what an autopilot does. Even on a passenger jet it's really not that smart, there's just lots m

It reminds me of when an airliner crashes (a rare thing now). The airline, the manufacturer, the engine manufacturer, the part(s) suppliers, the pilots... will all point at each other. Usually the pilots lose because they don't have an

And the big problem with open systems is that there are so many of them and nobody will pay to market and implement any of them to make one a standard.

It was actually by design, so you know you have the wrong place. We already have systems like postcodes where small changes result in small geographic offsets and they have major downsides too. Geocoding seems really simple until you have t

I'm the DRI for most of these problems. Random thoughts: I think David Ogilvy said something like "Search all the parks in your city, you'll find no statues of committees". Everyone was super keen to make OSM in to a web

I started to build a thing (maybe an OpenAlexa) for this reason (glider5.com) - the goal was to eventually hook it up to STT and TTS and have it answer queries, with all the code being open. Right now it kind of looks like a dysfunctional w

Yeah, sure. Let's say Phoenix and Denver. Or, Colorado Springs and Oakland. Or, Gatwick and Midway.

At a lower $/passenger/mile. Why fly one 747 from NY to London and make people connect to it, when you can fly one 787 from Denver and one 787 from Chicago?

I've done neurofeedback and have the hardware. It's amazing what you can achieve. It's amazing it works at all. There's a decent book on the popular history of it - 'a symphony in the brain' I think it's c

Yes, and this is obvious when you think about it. Sugar causes both inflammation (actually any carbohydrate will eventually) and sugar is why you brush your teeth. Fascinating books on this include "pure, white and deadly" and &qu

There are circular-ish arrays of mirrors which reflect light to a tower with a water tank. The water turns to steam which turns a generator. There's at least one of these on the flight path from phoenix to SF somewhere. Anyway, I read
