So, let's say I think I am depressed. Should I seek out a psychiatrist, a psychologist, or a clinical social worker? I sort of think psychiatrist is someone who treats personality disorders like schizophrenia, bipolar, borderline, etc.

Only piston-engined aircraft use leaded gas. That rules out almost 100% of commercial passenger and military aviation. Unlikely that there's enough of this type of exposure to be a real factor. Even this study finds that it affects chi

Preventing that kind of street crime requires Guilani-style "stop and frisk" police work that I would guess most people in San Francisco would not tolerate for a day.

Prime's 2-day shipping often took more than two days for me anyway. And there's nothing more than an apology "sorry, your package is taking longer than expected" when that happens.

I guess, having thought about it some more, my argument would be more that a physical business benefits from community-provided resources. Streets, sidewalks, perhaps public transit, parking, services such as police and fire protection, etc

That's interesting, I have always seen the three dots as the first line in a YAML file, my exposure to YAML being almost exclusively Ansible configurations.

If there's no CSS then there is no color. It's up to the user's browser how to display it, what fonts to use, and what colors.

I think JSON is almost always better than YAML, except for very simple cases.

Took Amtrak from Chicago to Las Vegas once. Worst travel experience of my life. Hit a car, had a breakdown in the mountains, and they lost my checked luggage. Over 24 hours late. Never again. If you are ever tempted, just fly. It's che

I'm just sort of amazed that people felt it was worth that much apparent expense and infrastructure to have synchronized public clocks. One central clock tower with a bell would tell people what time it is.

One wonders, when the prior flight landed with the stab trim system switched off, who switched it back on before the next departure? And was there no question raised as to why it was off? It's not normal to have that system switched of

I'd be pretty surprised if this issue isn't present in any older city with tall buildings. I see rooftop water tanks in many cities.

It's easy to be cynical and think this (and not without some good reason) but we have a lot of examples of drugs that are absolute cures. Antibiotics come to mind, as well as vaccines (preemptive cure). I'm sure there are other ex

You're correct, however without MCAS it could be easier for the pilot to accidentally pitch into a stall when flying manually. That is why the requirement for consistent feedback, as you say. So the people who say the MAX engine placem

I live in the country. I get mice in the house every winter. They can get in through the smallest crevice and they are attracted to the warmth. Traps baited with peanut butter are effective. Mice are quite dumb.

Well, honestly that's because a lot of employees in jobs like that do steal stuff ("a lot" meaning enough that it's noticed and is a problem). Sure, everyone should have the presumption of innocence, but these things

More and more of this has been delegated to the manufacturers themselves. They simply assert to the FAA that the aircraft meets the type requirements. Boeing showed the FAA their test results, said that with MCAS the aircraft meets requirem

Yes, any Unix-like system will almost certainly have vi available. I'm a emacs use for 3 decades but I know enough vi to make small changes to config files. Was never able to adopt it as my main editor. The bifurcated input/comman

N.B. no American carriers have crashed a MAX, and they are flying quite a few of them.

Guessing that changing the tail might also go beyond what would be allowed to stay within the 737 type rating?

It means "the aircraft design met applicable requirements at the time it was certified." It's similar to how I can continue to drive an old car that doesn't have ABS, since ABS wasn't required or invented when the c

Doesn't necessarily take much of a budget to do these sorts if things. I've seen this for example in towns where the traffic light control boxes are colorfully painted by local artists.

Yeah I don't disagree. I don't fly, but have sort of been following this out of curiosity. One comment I've seen from some pilots is basically "ehh, runaway trim isn't a new thing, we train for it in the sim, and th

This isn't exactly right. The aircraft has two sensors, but the system in question (MCAS) is only ever looking at one of them. That is part of what the software fix is reportedly going to address.

I had a Pyrex baking pan crack in the oven once. I was baking some chicken breasts that I hadn't thawed, they were still frozen solid. The pan didn't explode though, just cracked into a couple of large pieces.

I've had the same experience. Whenever I have a misbehaving server, out of memory, slow performance, it almost always traces back to Java. However I don't think Java sucks necessarily. I think the sorts of software that people dev
