^^ This 10000x. Sure there are some nice comforts and features that will make life easier for the operator, but on the whole it's a massive step backwards in actual durability, utility and usability.

I would even go as far as saying the opposite - engineers too "competent" for their own good. I've walked in to so many code based where very talented individuals have made incredibly complex systems, using all their technica

Just a quick note - the "body" text on the page uses Alliance, also designed by the same studio I think ( https://degarism.com/Alliance ). The two fonts themselves are catered more towards headers / titles.

Yup - I've turned off slide and predictive and it seems to be exactly how it used to be - infinitely easier to get the words in to the point where you don't even need to look at the keyboard!

Going through the process to type certify the Max as anything other than a 737 would’ve been far more expensive, slow and painful for Boeing and all its customers because of how slow and difficult the FAA is. They added the MCAS because the

I think there is some context missing from this; The 5G band that was auctioned off is only one step next to the band used by radar altimeters - essentially a piece of equipment on aircraft that gives it its precise height above the ground.

I've been a member of ZipCar for well over a decade, from when they first came to London and issued the plastic NFC cards. Then it was the smaller ones that could attach to a keyring, and for the past 5 or so years - just the mobile ap

Adding to this - the i3 was a game changer in terms of materials and manufacturing. The i8 is still an excellent hybrid sports car - available long before the electrically boosted exotic cars were released. Lastly - I was happily driving an

Think about a CD or an LP spinning; the outside is going a lot faster (it’s covering a lot more distance in the same amount of time) than the inside yet the RPM for both is the same. The earth is the same :)

Nearly always in the event of an engine failure or an unrecoverable attitude; which may be a spin. Cirrus’s transition training emphasises pulling the chute - the seats and airframe are designed to absorb the vertical impact and protect the

Some more context - this the first deployment of the BRS system in their flagship; the Vision Jet. The Vision Jet is also the only turbine (jet) engine powered aircraft with such a system. It also boasts the Garmin Safe Return system; where

From my understanding - there are two main “strains” for polio; one that is “wild”; endemic to Afghanistan and Pakistan, and one derived from the oral vaccine, endemic in Africa and a lot of conflict zones, from Asia to Europe to Central &#

Working from home, or remotely is not for everyone - neither is being in an office. Some folks thrive in an office environment, they value the things it provides - a schedule, a time, a reason to get up and out, socialising with others, bei

It isn't - we should be (and a lot of larger corps are) encouraging higher standards for workers in those places, and it is significantly better compared to a decade ago. Not to mention as those workers demand better wages and conditio

Depends on the size of the firm, and how much you interact with them. A local law office with 1-2 lawyers and a few assistants; likely $1000-1500 that’s held by them to put towards any future requirements. Larger firms range from $5000-2500

So exploit workers by bringing them from overseas, and treat them differently to the local laws? You’ve just described Qatar, Bahrain, UAE etc. Maybe reconsider why local labour is expensive and why it’s worth paying for.

I absolutely adore https://www.glitch.com for low traffic, small and simple apps. It’s Joel Spolsky’s project; and he’s got Trello, StackOverflow and FogBugz as his previous companies (Fog Creek I think?). Give it a whirl! I thi

Yes, any vehicle that can be drive with a motor. Here’s an out there scenario - a few power generating aircraft or satellites in high orbit sending power down to drones at lower altitudes, and vehicles on the ground that just have inverters

Composite fuselage - and the jet engine ($$$) itself sits between the ruddervators ($$$), with the BRS ($$$) just in front - probably the worst place to hit that jet. Easily $1-1.5M. A wing or the nose would have been far easier to inspect

I’ve had a few folks use my email. This is going to prove wildly unpopular but I just reset the password using the email, go in and delete the account (or submit a ticket with support to do so). They can make a new one with their own email

Yup I see the distinction and I agree with you. It also means that you will loose that right for breaking any rules / regulations of that license; but the gray area I guess is the unwritten rules governing safety alongside written ones
