Interesting. Do you have any thoughts on composite-based aircraft like a Cirrus and flutter? A few times I've had a Cirrus SR22 into a pretty steep descent with poor controller sequencing for an approach into busy terminal space and h

When I was getting my pilots license I stumbled into a really cool video NASA did showing exactly what happens when you reach a fluttering condition like what you described. This is a link to the NASA recording if anyone is interested. ht

From your short message, it seems our experience with alcohol is similar. I've been struggling with my level of alcohol consumption, about 7-8 months ago I read an article on the Atlantic[1] that detailed the effectiveness of naltrexo

If you built out a project to the level of maturity I'm seeing, with 0 customers, you absolutely are doing it wrong. I've had a couple of market successes, mostly in the B2B2C/LeadGen space and every time it has been built wi

There was another incident like that too, a guy tried to make it to Hawaii and calculated he'd not make it because of headwinds and had to ditch. He deployed his airframe parachute in the plane and was picked up by a life boat from a

Ya, I have had to ballast my cirrus when I had a very heavy passenger up front with me to keep the plane from being too heavy in the front. The problem when a plane is out of balance if you get into a stall, it could be unrecoverable. I&#

iMessages for is a big deal for me too. Almost everything else is manageable for me on windows for the most part. For me, this is the one thing that is annoying to not have.

I've owned my Volt for about a year now, it's frankly been the best car i've ever owned. I'm -shocked- that these things aren't selling better, on the used market it's probably one of the best values on the ve

I visited a friend, and he showed me his goofy car, a Chevrolet Volt. This person is someone I'd met at a flying safety conference (I'm a pilot/aircraft owner) as was he and we became friends. He'd made his money in th

One of my closest strikes was taking off from RW9 at Keywest one morning. Scared the daylights out of me. Flying out of there at night is not only daunting because of the darkness over the water after turning north but not knowing if the

I have only flown past what I believe seemed to have maybe been a drone (honestly, it could of been a bird but I swear it looked like a drone to me). I was taking off out of the Tampa airspace at about 1k feet AGL. If the drone did have A

In my experience flying, when you have one that is in your vision it's usually too late to make drastic changes. Birds in our area tend to dive when we are approaching them, if you see a bird above you it makes me very nervous. It ne

Sadly though, this is move 3-5 years too late. WebOS was great in its day, but I can't imagine there has been a lot of R&D invested in the progress of the tools or OS.

Not to be overly nit-picky, you obviously know ASEL referencing the Cirrus but maybe I can add a little more of my own experience. I own a Cirrus SR20, and I'm lucky at cruise to get more than 12-14mpg running 8.5gph lean of peak at a

It seems this could have application in conceptual interior design. Think room makeovers.

Google had corporate/cross platform messaging before it was cool. Gmail, Google Talk was a killer combo for our small teams. Dumb dumb dumb.

I'm a private pilot as of 1 year this month, having only 250 hours. Of those hours many of which are spent traveling "cross country" out of Tampa Airspace into New Orleans, Miami and Orlando areas... arguably some pretty bus

I've been running ads for a bit now on Facebook. Compared to googles ad stack, Facebook's feels definitely more unrefined, to say the least, than Google's. Sometimes basic things on Facebook's platform simply do not wo

As much as it might feel like selling out to the founders of this product, providing the tech in white-label or licensing to travel groups such as Kayak for example could of been a way to at least keep the doors open.

Oh cool, thanks for sharing that. I was curious why I kept seeing the same FlightAware page when i land in almost any small airport.

Sad to see companies like this go. The founder stated in the article above that the cost of the data being expensive was part of the demise, I wonder if croud-sourced solutions such as https://flightaware.com/commercial&#x2

Yeah, I keep seeing this complaint come up. Interesting that so many people don't realize you can run bash scripts from another shell without fanfare.

I agree that this is better than parachutes , but not because of the cost of the plane. If your engine is failing, your plane failed you and isn't worth saving. that's what insurance is for : ) the moment you pull a parachute (f

So we have been using Geckoboard for our dashboarding needs for almost 3 years now with great success. I think we spend $19 a month and we have enterprise wide visibility to things that matter to us. 80% of the widgets we just use interna

Yup, I agree 100% on the Aeropress. I never thought i'd enjoy such a simple and in-expensive coffee making device as much as I do my Aeropress. I bought one to keep at my office too =D

Sorry if this is obvious somewhere, but i have to ask: Will this allow me on windows to pull a linux-based image (ubuntu for example) and run it on the windows platform or pull a windows based image and run it on the linux docker platform

Their pricing models make even less sense when you’re using docker containers for deployments. With that said, I’ve used their services for years and without question for my group the monitoring pays for itself in improved efficiency of dev

Does anyone know what happens to the pod after a shuttle-craft docks and delivers cargo? Do they push it back to earth? Into space, leave it in orbit?

Yeah, it read like a BBQ sauce commercial. Sweet Baby Rays - big bold taste.
