I have trouble following your line of argument. One is not allowed to ask questions using the pronoun "you" as in "How you are doing?" And I don't see it as a rhetorical device, but effectively asking the question &

What's so personal about the very legitimate question?

The difference there is that in that case KitSplit compensated the owner. They declined to compensate here presumably because they didn't think that he can raise a stink - the original piece was on petapixel which is really popular wit

It's voluntary on part of the owner. They understood the risk of handing off the goods. A lot of the law is based on intent - did you want to kill Jack or you didn't see him when you reversed with your forklift? So the intent ther

Considering that they brag about blocking 99.99% of frauds, and still there are so many cases of stolen property happening on their site - it seems that the 99.99% number is an exaggeration. As such, they are obviously deceiving the owners

From the reply: > I want to be clear that there are no insurance providers or rental platforms that we know of that do offer coverage for voluntary parting. It takes some guts to put this in the reply when the article specifically mentio

I guess with a high profile link from HN to Medium indexed by Google, and future owner will see the red flags from a mile away... KitSplit is as good as dead right now.

Besides the amazing project, the presentation page blew me away - the sticky text on the side, the progressive loading of images, the tasteful white of the background, the subtle coloring - all of it shows a lot of care and attention, I lov

The plane attitude (what you can sense with gyros) and angle of attack are very different things. They only coincide in level flight with no wind (the attitude is measured to the earth frame of reference (transposed by gyros) and the AoA is

Why would they be skewed? Stats are stats. I'd imagine say we have a sampling bias if there are less than 1000 flights in total, as in the kinks haven't been worked out, but this is a production aircraft, with 1000s of takeoffs e
