There are limits. You can’t waive certain rights, and you can’t overwrite certain laws. The issue is that we haven’t made this shit against the law yet.

Yeah, but you asserted that we do not hold drivers responsible for slips in judgement. We regularly hold drivers responsible for minor infractions that are otherwise consequence free.

Government issued id with a photo is typically the requirement depending on the bank and their KYC. That can be a military id, passport, NEXUS card, DL, state ID.

You were arguing for the 100kwh derived from $5 a few comments up. Now you are arguing for low hundreds of kWh? So you are now in agreement that $5/100kwh is unrealistic? That was my whole point the entire time.

I understand that energy and instantaneous power draw aren’t the same. I’m working with the numbers given: over a megawatt of power draw, and the price of energy in kilowatt hours. I’m not saying that they are flying on 100kw. I’m saying th

If applicants for an elite college or internship program at a FAANG company were found to have colluded in this way to cheat on a test/interview, I suspect that it would be a pretty major scandal. Why should we let equivalent fraudulen

The 100kwh number was based on a rate of electricity that is 1/6th the average cost of electricity in the area they did the flight. Even the absolute cheapest rate in that region is 4x the price I used. The price I quoted was a little

The specific claim from the company is that the entire 27 min flight was done with $5 worth of power using an all electric power system with a power output exceeding one megawatt. https://www.heartaerospace.com/newsroom/

Nit: When they did the actual flight I did the math on the $5 worth of power claim, and it just doesn’t pencil out even at the lowest power rates in North America. Just to illustrate: at $.05 per kWh (which is less than half the price of el

Yup. On a 737 they can put about 8k pounds per wing. Even little planes like Cessnas have wing tanks.

It’s the same sentiment behind the weird boomer meme of getting befuddled in a coffee shop because they just want a cup of drip coffee. People will get confused about what goes where and complain about it, when the option to just put it all

This was mid-late 2000s. Probably also dependent on which office. When I got my license they told me that if I had time it would be faster to drive down to the springs than to wait at the Denver office.

You can't really identify someone by their SSN. My card is literally just a piece of cardstock paper with a name and number, and no one has ever asked to see it. There is no photo. There is no security.

It can also depend on where you are within the state. When I lived in Colorado the smart move in Denver was to start lining up about an hour before the DMV opened (for driver licenses, car registration never had much of a line). Out in the

For the aviation use case the article talks about 100m is unacceptable. Even for more mundane uses like car navigation 100m accuracy isn’t great.

Well, as long as they’re poor free market democracies, it’s a mulligan, right? Bonus points if you use special ops or intelligence agencies to kick it off so it doesn’t count as a war.

FOD applies more broadly than that, as well. Candy wrappers on the runway is also FOD. It stands for foreign object debris, and means any physical thing out of place where it may cause damage or injury. Because of the nature of jet engines,

Go read the article instead of nitpicking people doing the citations for you. If you ask a known pedophile for funding and introductions while accepting favors, you can rightly be accused of bad judgment - at best.
