Yes, yes they did. The vertical part of the hockey stick is EVERYWHERE. Homework: go on zillow and find the most depressing row house in urban Detroit/Cleveland/wherever with enough pricing history to have a graph. You will see

Wow I just had the exact same thing happen to me. Problem was they tried to wait me out through inspections to avoid agreeing to concessions. The place was nice but turned out to need a full roof and hvac replacement immediately.

I haven't heard of any deaths as a result but I'm sure there are a few. Usually it's just a hull loss. That said, this looks like another Icon A5 situation...

Because it allows you to skip the entire aerospace engineering portion of the design process. Airframe design is complex and requires a lot of domain knowledge in fluid dynamics. Quads just muscle their way along and only require simple c

The official number is 400ft but I've heard anecdotes that there have been successful deployments lower. That said, I see this being operated in the "dead mans curve", ie well below any effective height, for a significant po

Can confirm [1], am building an aircraft in my garage. It's the only segment of general aviation that's growing as it does away with a lot of the arduous approval process for inconsequential modifications/maintenance. I don

It's also important as most long range airliners take off with more fuel than they can safely land with. The air frames are very heavily optimized as every pound matters. If you always landed with the same weight you took off with, y

Yeah looks like they're generating vortices to mix high and low velocity air better. The problem here is this will decrease the efficiency of the engines as it's adding drag to the flow coming through the nozzle.

This brings up a good point. Most (all?) people get complacent to some degree or another. When you have a big event come along and disrupt, in particular, low paying jobs, suddenly the inertia of complacency is gone and people start looki

Do you have a source for this? The Virginia shares many more features with the Seawolf that the LA class. The Virginia is basically a scaled down Seawolf hull with a different weapons arrangement.

Probably due to its predecessor, the Seawolf, from which it was derived ended up being wildly cost ineffective.

jw.org appears to be the kind of modern web design this is trying to avoid. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the cult.

Not the worst idea really. There's far more worrisome stuff than silicone, like a small can of black spray-paint which would simultaneously obscure the optics and solar panels while also degrading thermals causing the sat to overheat

I'm not sure what you mean. ESD is a big deal with sensors, namely optical FPAs and ADCs for radios. Their voltage tolerance is well established and the ESD generated by humans is easily measured. It's not that this stuff isn&#x

Space is only ~14 psi of pressure differential from sea level, far less than in your car tires. Nothing is exploding. The issue is mostly off gassing contamination of critical surfaces like optics and sensitive circuit boards.

This article is missing some big details. Dust is a concern for sure, but it's way more complicated than that. Basically most satellites fall into three camps, communication, optical imaging, and radar imaging. The most sensitive of t

Assuming you are very mechanically inclined but not particularly well versed to traditional construction, what does one do to learn more about this process?

This. Corporations are cya machines. Also liability may not be prevented but meaningful punishment always seems to be avoided.

You're not wrong, though it's worth noting there are two different things going on there. In terms of operations (flying aircraft) the honor system makes sense. You want everyone learning from each others mistakes so you need to

Can second this. A couple decades ago the FAA was pretty tyrannical in their approach to compliance. Among other things they'd commonly stick inspectors at random airports and run through everyone's paperwork as they came in, ha

Agreed, I really wish Lemmy and similar would get more love. There are so many awesome federated projects. Maybe ot but it seems like the federated services are doing a really good job of keeping the crazies away. Nobody will link with ha

At least as I propose it and it's implemented in the respective specs, the clear-text ID requirement would still stay. If you weren't ID-ing then it would be just like any other enforcement action. As it stands, there are enough

Apologies, I was trying to point at a mentality rather than an age but obviously the wording could be better. There are plenty of 20-30 somethings that hold the same beliefs and plenty of older ones that agree with me. The amateur radio c

Found one Bandwidth negotiation - you can already interfere in the same way without it. This is also true of any radio communication, ELF or EHF Spread spectrum - yes but has the ability to not significantly interfere with any single other
