Sure Comcast's "X1 Entertainment Operating System" is technically just a suite of applications that run on top of an actual OS, but at least it comprises everything an end user will interact with. It's much closer to an

Yeah, I don't know what button he would have told you to push, but it definitely wouldn't have landed the plane. I don't think there were even automatic wing-leveling systems that far back.

Believe it or not, weight and balance calculations are not automatic even in the most advanced airliners. The airlines have algorithms they use which spit out numbers that are provided to the pilots, which they enter into the aircraft'

Helicopters can fly wherever they want, barring the same restrictions that apply to fixed-wing planes. For the most part, there aren't really any helicopter-specific restrictions.

You're expecting our politicians to actually understand the laws they vote on? That's just insane. What's next? Banning bills that are thousands of pages long and include countless things that are entirely unrelated to the

When people say "privacy and freedom are more important than security" it's in regards to privacy and freedom being curtailed by the government in order for the government to provide security. Don't be absurd.

Garmin's is literally "oh shit the pilot passed out!" and an entirely inexperienced passenger can push a single button, ending up with the plane stopped on the nearest appropriate runway with the engine off. The autoland syst

It's funny that you bring up sports, because one of the hot topics in the sports world right now is that there should be less whites in many positions, from coaching to ownership. It's supposed to be accepted as fact that if the

Most commercial airliners have the same system. It's mainly used in bad weather when the visibility is below minimums for a manual landing. CAT IIIc autoland (the highest/most advanced) is certified for zero-visibility landings.

Garmin's got a relatively new system called Autoland that is designed for this exact situation. It allows a plane to land simply by pushing one button. It will pick the nearest appropriate airport, communicate with ATC, and land the pl

It's very clearly implied in the "A modern entitlement/billing architecture" section: > The requests should go to the entitlement system > You may be thinking “isn’t this causing a single point of failure?” – and y

I'm not understanding how people imported from abroad could be US citizens.

Because all else being equal, that skew shouldn't exist. There is nothing inherent to Indian people (or any other people) making them better at these jobs, so there is value to understanding why their numbers are so high. And by value,

The entire reason we have this system is so that the country can remain competitive, which is an important and valid reason. But it was never meant to be what it has become, which is just a way to import cheap labor. It needs to get back to

I, personally, have zero fear of being replaced by cheap labor. I've climbed high enough in what I do and I know how valuable my skillset is. But I see it all over the place, and it still concerns me. > You should be asking yourself

The US government is supposed to first and foremost take care of US citizens, not just allow them to be pushed out of jobs because corporations would rather import cheap labor.

I'll flip your question on its head: why are the people filling these roles so heavily skewed to one country?

This legislation means the EC gets to decide what is allowed and what's not in private communications. It always starts with child pornography, because everybody finds it abhorrent. But once you open that door...

But none of those things you listed are numbers. The isNaN output is exactly what I want in pretty much every case.

Just to be clear, because your comment made no sense to me: what IE11 doesn't support is Number.isNaN(). It definitely does support (and has since IE3) plain isNaN(): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W

It sounds like the Standard plan was always tied to being under warranty, and they haven't actually changed what's included with the Standard plan? Am I misreading something here?

I understand that, and agree with putting out an editor's note about it. I just think that the second sentence in the example editor's note provided should not be necessary, and the simple explanation of what happened should be su

This word, in this context, should not matter. It is essentially a random word, inserted far in advance, that happens to relate to current events. The fact that it matters to anyone here is a symptom of the severe societal illness that publ

Many cars (worldwide) already have the ability to configure a speed limit (among other settings) based on which key is used. So you could configure a speed limit for your son's key, while your key would be unlimited.

What a bunch of absolute trash. Especially when it's inevitably mandated to be permanently enabled in a few years. Amazing how the EU constantly finds new ways to run their subjects lives.

I don't have to prove you wrong, I'm not making an assertion. It's on you to prove that your assertion is correct, and you have nothing more than your opinion backing you up.
