I’d say the tech isn’t there yet. Remember we’re still pretty early in the history of aviation.

If that was the case, most nonstop flights between non-major cities would not exist at all.

Most employers book the most convenient flight for their employees, and not really care much but saving a few hundred dollars.

Have you ever picked a slightly more expensive nonstop flight instead of one with a layover for a vacation? This is similar. 3.5 hours vs 7 hours is a pretty good difference. You can take a 3.5 hours flight in the morning and have energy to

I'd stick to first order thinking, thanks. It's easy to get things wrong trying to do second order thinking, or just make things up. There's no reason to believe companies would do as you say. There are several other options,

You are missing an important factor in the baseline here, the cost of time. Right now, a cheap 7 hour each way round trip between NYC and London is ~500$. Halve it to 3.5 hours each way with a supersonic plane, saving a total of 7 hours. No

The amount of government effort wasted in implementing this will be more than what users will get out of it in current savings interest rates.

Where will the planes land?

Yeah I imagine we’ll see a cottage industry of small countries with nukes in ten-fifteen years. Plenty of places have uranium and unless they are being watched like Iran they can just set up clandestine enrichment operations.

US pays people to go to college, but just the outliers. It's an interesting tradeoff, make the outliers the best in the world at what they do, or make the average person slightly more competent. I think it's difficult to design a

No, what the Linux kernel does instead is randomly kill user processes :) It's kinda infamous for that, and had held up Linux adoption for a decade or so. But you sort of missed the point, I think. The comment chain was about speculati

Yes, KDE aggressively caches and indexes things by default whenever you have free RAM unless you disable this behavior in multiple places in multiple applications. For example, in Okular you can tune it to choose how much of a pdf you want

You know what else has a dozen crash related bugs in the bug tracker per day? Literally any piece of complex software. See LLVM for example. LLVM is the backbone of most compiler work in the world right now. https://github.com&#x

When you say "cannot be written", what do you mean? You are free to write one, and it works. I have a few internal tools that do not touch QML or the XML ui system, and it still builds just fine with then latest libraries on Arch.

Huh interesting, didn't realize this was effectively a rebranding of fxtec. Enough for me to avoid them as they seem to have spent some effort hiding that association.
