So what kind of printer do you buy then?

That's why they do that legally. Why do you think you have the famous "Intel inside" logo or sound or animation in ads? Because Intel pays you to display that... Or at least it was not too long ago. https://www-tec

It was cutting edge and in a way the Franco-British Apollo program in terms of engineering. I mean not only in terms of speed, but engines, material, fly by wire, anti skid (aka abs), carbon brakes, CoG adjustment to reduce drag, even the n

But do you fly in first class? Because for cheaper than Concorde, that's what you could get (and that's what Concorde was competing against) and usually in first, they don't wake you up for breakfast or whatever before you la

Not at all, the magic was in the intake which slowed down the air so the turbojet engine could use it. And that's why it was so efficient when flying at VMAX. Wiki again: Forces from the internal airflow on the intake structure are rea

Same with Air France, Concorde got profitable with all the special flights (supersonic loops, world tours and all these).

Concorde engines were actually some of the most efficient ones while cruising above Mach 1.7 (because afterburners were only used to take off and to go transonic until M1.7). So it was efficient but only when flying fast. Wiki says: The ove

You could add: - Concorde didn't work flying east because with the time zone thing, you might be flying real fast, you still arrive super late. Meaning you could as well pay less and fly the red eye...

Except the kind of radar used in a Tesla cannot do that for you hence while the AP ignores static objects and crashes happily into parked cars, fire trucks, ... Here's an explanation of why written on here a long time ago by @chowells:

There was a B version on the drawing board which would have dropped the afterburner... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde#Range And you're right, the ballpark fuel consumption for Concorde says your hourly rat

Autopilot can actually land an aircraft and has been doing so for a long time (like since the 60s). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoland The only non automatic thing is taking off but there were demos by Airbus sho

He died from complications of it. So yes, he died from it. If we didn't do it like that, pretty much no one would die from AIDS, people would just die of, let's say, pneumonia or some other opportunistic infections. I agree with y

Regarding your pay question, here in France it's random people, you and me, who are election workers (I explained the process in another reply): it's definitely not paid. And the counting is done in polling stations after the voti

You can't do that either because the way it works here is you're being given a sealed bag with all envelopes coming straight for the ballot boxes and that process was supervised by multiple persons. And then you have: - one person

Right but it seems some machines are connected to the internet (seriously). And it's probably easy in the firmware to check if you're being tested (ask Volkswagen). And even if it's not, you could write a firmware you could t

So machines are still sealed at the polling place? If so that'd be a good start but same shit really. What if they had a firmware which had a special counting mode you could trigger with a special ballot? The only way to make sure it&#

So the voter would not only "print" his own ballot but check the consistency? That's not what I call audit. Audit is supposed to be multiple pair of eyes during counting. Plus you'd possibly lose the anonymity of the vot

Here it's almost impossible to slip an anonymous ballot. The ballot box is made of transparent plastic (something like [1]), and you don't slide the envelope in it yourself. The slot is blocked until an official pulls a lever to l

The way it's done here in France is it's just random voters who offer to do the recount (usually after being asked because it's pretty boring haha). And you don't count alone, there are people with you who count with you

But does the digital count ever get verified in the real world? If it is every time, it means at the end of the day you don't really trust the machine. You could announce results early but they wouldn't be official so what's
