I feel it somewhat obvious that humans talking to humans is a good thing for life and death split second stuff, same page there. But aren't most of the comms really rote and mundane instructions that follow a standard pattern? We trus

Why are we still doing air control with competitive real time voice radio anyway? Can we not engineer in some queued delay of planning? (I know nothing of the vagaries of air control)

Heh. I was more effusive but walked it back in an edit because I'm not a domain expert in evaluating large societal programs. But I've seen this program 'work.'

How do you measure 'actually working out'? The generalized NY Excelsior tax-cuts-in-exchange-for-jobs program [1] is much larger than one factory and is regarded by some as having a net positive impact to the state. [1]: https:&#

HL:A is a masterpiece. VR was made for that game, not the other way around. I spent like 3k buying the Index and building a new PC just to play it and it was absolutely worth it. I've never felt such a consistently visceral adrenaline

Sadly I have no access to such future technology. Like other posters on this board I believe I am trapped on this linear timeline.

Unfortunately not, it was long ago and the footage would not be my intellectual property anyway. I had a search on YouTube for equivalent footage and didn't see that angle represented.

I did some crash testing in a previous life and it's absolutely crazy to see this play out in high speed (slow-mo) videography. The camera angle from directly below a vehicle pointed upwards in a frontal collision is biblical--RWD driv

Boston's 'Big Dig' downtown highway deletion project gets a lot of coverage but the history of the Deer Island water treatment plant is just as fascinating -- In my eyes it's substantially more of a contributor to Boston

As a YouTube addict, I'm not surprised. There's a whole other advertising revenue stream that BEC is just not doing, because they have the monster viewcounts to avoid it and still make a living: in-video sponsorships. I follow a l

This happens with a lot of full time YouTubers. They optimize the facets of their performance that boost the metrics with the mainstream and it often alienates the core audience that got them off the ground. I'm not surprised Louis has
