Yup, came here to say pretty much that. I've been self-hosting email for decades, first from a box on my home network (back when that was possible) and later from a VPS. It's not nearly as hard as folks make it out to be. At the v

There are a limited number of known failure modes when working with physical materials. We know the properties of materials and we know the physics. The equivalent to fizzbuzz would be something like a free body diagram.

That's not that long from now. Most people will have lived through the present day. Aside from the obvious "get rich quick schemes," I'd probably ask, "What do you think I should know?"

Those are pressurized turboprops. They're turbine-powered and have the same performance as the SF50, including service ceiling, but with more range. The SF50 is what we call a "near jet"—it's technically a jet, but its p

As someone who is prone to obsessing over gear I really appreciate Tom Morello's approach to it as an antidote. Way back in the '80s(?) his stuff got stolen out of his car, and since he had a gig that night he had to scramble to j

It does, which is famously why certain newspapers are/were loathe to use the word "lie" in connection with certain politicians. They knew certain utterances were untrue, but they had no evidence of intent. Without intent it&#

If you're trying to come up with something that lies beyond challenge and debate right now, you're missing the point.

Just want to point out that there are ways to protest that do not prevent the other person from speaking. Standing silently in the back of the room with signs, for example. I would wholeheartedly support such a protest.

No one is making a surprise attack on one airplane over Sunnyvale. Just look at this from a risk management perspective. Chance of aircraft being surprise-attacked in extremely well-defended airspace during peacetime: essentially zero. Cons

Maybe. I honestly don't know. But I can't help but wonder what's going to happen at a toll gate, at a railroad crossing with the arms down, after a storm and a branch is half-broken and suspended over the road, etc. Doubtful

You may not view it that way, but Florida lawmakers do. They've come right out and said that this is punishment. And "poking the eye of the government" is precisely the right guaranteed by first amendment free speech protecti

Can't imagine why. The range on those things is pitiful. A TBM or a PC-12 seems like a much better choice if that's the class of aircraft you're buying.

Radar can see wherever it's pointed. Point it up and it'll see up.

This is a shockingly explicit attack by the government on the right to free speech. Florida has come right out and said that they are doing this to punish Disney for expressing a position on legislation. If the constitutional right to free

There's probably a less specific crime he could be charged with. Even the FAA reg he violated—"careless and reckless operation"—is a catch-all the FAA uses to say, "we don't have a specific rule against what you did

There are very, very few things that get my goat like a willfully irresponsible pilot. What really bothers me though are the CFIs who keep signing these guys' flight reviews. I trained pilots for years and it is in-your-face, flashing-

That would, at best, get you a 709 ride (reexamination by the FAA to see if you really do qualify to hold your pilot certificate) or mandatory re-training. There is no universe in which the FAA would hear that and just say, "lol, tot

Without commenting on the role of society in this particular issue, I'll note that you have to know and understand the risks in order to accept them. And in my experience (aerospace) people are exceptionally bad at both identifying and

I don't think everyone who engages in crypto is evil. Some are, to be sure (as some are in any human endeavor), but for the most part I think they're just credulous. I think that's a belief shared by a lot of anti-crypto peop

They don't recover stage two. That's a much different problem from recovering stage one, which has a ballistic trajectory; stage two goes into orbit.
