Based on the reddit thread, this does appear to be a legitimate issue. Conspiracy theories aside, it seems to be a search quality issue. I do wonder why that support thread was deleted though. It's unfortunate that Matt Cutts (former h

What worries me more is state sponsored info ops that foment further divisions within the US, which is more divided than ever before. If I was a foreign power that considers the US an enemy, where my goal is to weaken them, that is where I’

Yeah there are missing lights in Oregon and WA too. This is way off.

First light I checked, and have verified in real life, is missing. Patos Island light on the Canadian border in the San Juan island group. Cute, but inaccurate. https://keepersofthepatoslight.org/about-patos-island

This isn’t a crash in historical terms. It’s simply repeating previous patterns. If we do have a true crash that wipes out most of the stored value and takes a decade to recover, like the dot-com crash, the effect on tech sector wealth in p

Remember when you heard a Linux install called a Linux “Box” for the first time?

That’s actually pretty cool. Wish I found an excuse to need to do that.

It’s really odd. If they use the 09 runways and the 27 runways (depending on wind on any given day) then you have left traffic in the pattern on the north or south side. It could be some weird compromise with the neighbors about only having

See my comment about parallel runway traffic patterns at this airport.

Yeah as far as I’m aware there is no public reporting of conflicts. (Loss of separation minima, also called a “deal” in ATC speak) It’s feasible to build this using ADS-B data.

The thing that’s unique about this airport is that it has parallel runways, which is very common, but the R runways (right side on approach) do not have right traffic. They also have a left traffic pattern. So two planes taking off at the s

Yeah that was great. I think we all felt like we had a secret superpower few others knew about.

“Igor has chosen to step back from NGINX and F5 in order to spend more time with his friends and family” I wonder what this is really about. Either way Nginx is the reason myself and many others were able to survive without raising venture

As a reminder, Turkish Airlines flight 1951 crashed in 2009 due to a faulty radio altimeter which set the autothrottle to idle before they touched down. This isn’t hot air or some sort of power struggle between FCC and FAA. Radio altimeter

Those breakthroughs had gatekeepers, for better or worse. Publishing house owners, newspaper owners/editors, radio station supervisors and owners. For the first time in all of history we can all publish instantly to everyone else at no

Self-censorship is the other half of this problem. How many of us here have self censored our writing out of fear of painting a bullseye on our backs? The more you have to lose, the more cautious you are. If you’ve spent a lifetime studying

Ever wondered why modern digital film is still shot at 24fps and a shutter speed of 1/48th of a second when a faster shutter and higher frame rate would produce a technically superior product? It’s because audiences are enamored with t

You still need the data. And most pro film and still shooters shoot raw which is either pre debayering or partially debayered as is the case with BMD.

Newsgroups got pretty crazy with some of the uuencoded files people would post. That’s definitely an improvement. For a while there were warez groups with massive files split across a lot of posts. Telnet text based muds are one of my favor

Good. It’s a scam. It is a horrifically inefficient knowledge delivery system enabled by predatory loans, with tremendous societal pressure to participate, and a tribal mentality that causes former participants to pressure their kids and fr

Administrations change and you better be ok with future executives inheriting powers that you create. One person’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter, especially domestically. Nelson Mandela is a fine example of one of the greatest huma

Wonder how the Biden admin will feel if he isn’t re-elected and the next administration inherits the domestic terrorism unit.

What I find most dangerous about the United States bending to the will of China via their corporations is that it's affecting our story telling. The stories we tell define how we remember history, who our heroes are and what we think i

Yeah I got into that nasty habit in sims using pilotedge because it’s easier to switch to departure/approach on the climb. Had to break that for real life. (I’m also a GA PPL)

Setting autopilot immediately on takeoff is very tempting because it massively reduces workload vs hand flying during a critical flight stage (high workload). So there’s a strong temptation to do this. But if you miss a few checklist items
