Tomatoes are a terrible example. Ripe tomatoes damage very easily so tomatoes going to grocers are picked green and then reddened by exposing them to ethylene gas. This minimally affects flavor but causes the tomato to appear "ripe&q

Call Delta and tell them you need to send 3-5 people a month from SFO to PVG in business class for the next 3-5 years. You won't pay $6-$11k per ticket.

>>it also just doesn't make sense from a business point of view - save a few thousand on a flight, but the extra fatigue makes good decision-making harder. I can vouch for this. It makes good decision making almost impossible.

So the "damaged" class is not really damaged. It's what you'll wind up with if you started with a small rails project and you had to scale it as it got popular? hmmm.

I don't know that gist just seems contrived. I'm totally not a rails guy so I have to ask: is that the only way you can implement that in rails land? In (most)JS and/or python I would just monkey patch the save method and&#x

In the early-aughts I worked for a small web software company that used Microsoft systems for development and production. We got bought out by a larger "professional" dev house (that also developed on MS products) and a new edict

this can be used to get around some forms of antivirus checkers/content inspectors.

Do you also pass the abuse notice on down to the tunneler's ISP? Eg: if you are notified, notify the abuse@ for the ISP of the endpoint's IP.

this is the lingering problem: it's terribly ineffective if you go to the doctor with flu symptoms. Seriously. Tamiflu blocks the channels used to multiply the influenza virus. By the time you recognise you have the flu Tamiflu loo

None of that applies here. Range at 35,000 feet for primary radar systems is over 100NM (~190km). It was a clear night over open ocean using a country's primary early warning and defense mechanism situated along the coast. The US loc

"What we have done is actually look into the recording on the radar that we have and we realised there is a possibility the aircraft did make a turnback," Rodzali Daud, the Royal Malaysian Air Force chief, told reporters at a news

I have to sadly agree that it seems like Malaysia had neither military nor civilian radar watching. Either that or they didn't have it recording. They have made vague statements about military radar but nothing conclusive.

He was found a year later not decades later. To be clear though: I was talking commercial operations which generally operate above the radar plane. I'm not even sure how/if Fosset's plane would appear on radar as he had no A

Aside from Alaska (which has some radar limitations due to the terrain) I'm pretty sure none of those accidents occurred after coast-to-coast radar coverage came in to force in the continental US. Believe it or not until 1973! there we

Agreed. And ADS is mandated in commercial aircraft. It's part of the system that prevents aircraft from colliding with each other in the air (TCAS/ACAS). But as I understand in this situation they were not out of ADS-B range nor

Did you plead guilty? A lot of countries ask if you have ever been convicted of a crime and you'd have to answer yes to that question (no matter how ridiculous the 'crime')

Tragic. I still don't get the objective of the person pulling these scams: it doesn't seem they want money or fame or any of the 'normal' drivers. Are the scammers typically lonely individuals or are they suffering fro

Number 3 is the reason we moved our last PHP "backend" to Java ages ago (2006). I'm surprised it's the first mention I've seen of it here.

you're probably right though it astounds me that this relationship would be bidirectional eg: web servers can make requests to individual stores. Security implications aside if it was engineered that way it would make for highly variab

I'm a little late to this game but I've heard similar stories years before (maybe California and Germany?) Does anyone know if utilities are changing their installation design books? To me that would be the first place to start.
