Is this a cultural problem where some areas of the world tend to defer to authority even in the face of obvious error on the part of the authority? In this case the flight computer? I thought this was solved by training none-western pilots,

We’ll always need plumbers, electricians, builders, mechanics. At least until general AI becomes a thing. A lot of jobs will be eroded by automation except those above in the mean time. I don’t foresee AI becoming advanced enough to be able

I think the issue is most employers are unlikely to buy a monitor like this for anyone except video editing professionals. That leaves it on the employee to purchase it out of their own salary, even though it is almost certainly a work only

Approx 19.3% of Americans live in rural areas, and a higher proportion of rural residents are in poverty. Therefore, measures to discourage car use are likely to disproportionally adversely impact some of the poorest in society. Unless thos

So basically destroy rural populations which are also the source of all our food? Unless I’m mistaken in that cities are actually the source of all life sustaining industries.

Nationwide mandates are oppressive and don’t allow people freedom to choose their own level of acceptable risk. Regional level variations are probably more tolerable allowing people to choose what type of society they want to live in.

I think one solution is to force Amazon to charge itself seller fees on its own products and listings like Amazon basics products. That would help prevent it from anti-competitively under cutting competitor listings on price.

Fuck ups like this get me so mad as they are always such a waste of time and you never get compensated for having to resolve them yourself, e.g. waiting on hold for hours to speak to a human being or having to send a physical letter, etc.

“ They used to say if man could fly, he'd have wings. But he did fly. He discovered he had to. Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn't reached the moon, or that we hadn't gone on to Mars and then to the nearest star?

Increased surface area alone results in higher pressure losses / flow energy losses due to increased frictional losses from the higher surface area.

It’s more a function of surface area to volume ratio of the filter. More surface area to volume means more energy is lost due to flow friction between the air and filter walls. However the trade-off is that a higher surface area to volume r

That doesn’t make sense, the higher the flow rate the higher the energy each particle has so more chance of it making it through the filter.

I often try to see whether a product is reviewed on YouTube, a lot harder to fake a video review. For services such as movers, doctor’s, etc. I often use the reviews on Google maps. Word of mouth is probably best of all though. Some general

Or break up large companies and monopolies to promote more competition in the employment marketplace. In addition, bring in more regulations to protect unionisation so employees can demand fairer wages. Also, companies should be taxed on re
