What this really does is remove the ICC's authority. It's one of those things -- if you make up rules and then can't enforce them, pretty soon no one cares what you say about anything.

I've dragged multiple MBPs all over the world, they're the sturdiest thing you can get short of a getac or a tough book.

You'd be amazed what the executive branch is legally allowed to do. They don't have to spend a dime. Now no executive in my lifetime has ever shied away from spending every dime they could squeeze out of Congress, but maybe this

That's definitely not what happened and not what the report says. Also, this is a STOVL aircraft, and I suspect the procedures are completely different.

He's certainly a highly trained Naval Aviator, but he had very little time in the F35.

That's what everybody in the military gets fired for. It's just boilerplate for public consumption. We don't know why he was fired, but the logical conclusion is that it was this incident.

he was at very low altitude, struck by lightning, in a completely glass cockpit plane. You don't "call your wingman" in that situation, you decide and you do. He didn't believe the plane was flyable, and in those condit

I don't think it says exactly that. It says he still had backup instruments and good flight controls and ejected from a flyable plane. If that were strictly true, they'd be well within standards to fire him. I'm not sure I

I can do all of those things, I do them regularly, except replace broken parts as that's not something I really have had to deal with much.

I went from an i9 MBP to an M1 Max earlier this year. I can't even describe it. Blows my mind.

Only if you do 20 years. That's the thing people don't understand about all that -- those fake numbers are including a pension that for the majority of people who are in the military will never exist. BRS was an attempt to give th

Anduril doesn't generally sell hours to the government like most defense contractors.

13 is basically the max unless you get into management. There are a very few 14 positions and nearly no 15s. Almost no one in tech gets into SES, and they wouldn't want to -- SESs don't write software.

Most federal employees are limited by the amount paid to a member of congress. The SES doesn't have a lot of people in it and they mostly run a bureaucracy, they're not doing real work.

We've recalled retirees, most recently in the mid 2000s. There were a lot of them recalled in the gulf war in the 90s. So a bit more likely than the draft. I'm technically also subject to the UCMJ for the rest of my life as well.

That retirement plan no longer exists just for the record. The "total compensation" numbers that military recruiters tout are not actually real. I know, I lived it for 23 years.

Japanese is a relatively difficult language to learn.

Pis are basically toys. They have a function, but it isn't running servers. I use an old Mac mini.

They have Apple, Google, Goldman Sachs, Rakuten, and others. They have a very large economy of their own.

Interestingly, Japanese "learn" English in high school. Most of them can read and write it passably, but can't speak it confidently and as per culture, if they can't do it perfectly they don't want to do it at all.

by jki275 2y ago
Indians speak English. Japanese in general do not. There is also a massive culture gap between Japan and the rest of the world. It's hard to explain if you haven't lived there.

The government is unserious about this stuff in their own networks, this really sounds like somebody got a bee under their bonnet and is trying to make an example. You need antivirus on security research laptops? How does that work exactly

I think you will definitely hear the pilot and copilot communicating, and they split up tasking between them -- one flies and one monitors equipment and makes system entries. They're also way way more qualified and educated than SN Ti

As I recall, you still input rudder orders with a wheel on these. Maybe you can enter a rudder setting? The system actually can fully automatically drive the ship. You can just enter a navigation plan and it will do the whole thing. Th
