Absolutely true if you're renting a home, but I feel like people never address that most people are renting apartments. These have substantially lower operating costs. Home buying/rental is a totally fair comparison, but I know se

I don't think the statistics would bear out there being any way to make driving safer per passenger mile than public transport. I get what you're saying. The empirical evidence just doesn't agree AFAIK.

This is the same attitude as people who are afraid of commercial flying despite it being the single safest form of transport. I get it. But it's irrational. You might not get stabbed, but driving is incredibly dangerous. Even just in t

I am not aware of any data that supports the claim that there are more incidents in recent history. The safest years were, of course, the COVID-19 shutdown years, when air-travel was greatly reduced. But besides that the last couple of year

I think this is a good idea. The only negative I can think of is that it will generally involve accepting and responding to clearances on short final. I think adding more tasks to that critical stage of flight probably increases danger a li

Anybody know what those of us in the remaining states can do to help push this forward? I've never contacted my local representatives before, but this is the kind of no-brainer change that I would love for us to finally enact.

There are many factors that could have contributed to this (airspace restrictions, turbulence, etc...), but usually altitudes are selected based on the prevailing winds. You want as strong of a tailwind, or at least as weak of a headwind as

Don't have personal experience with these devices, but a passthrough EDID emulator might solve this. I expect it would make the TV unable to recognize the specific device you have plugged in. Something like this: https://a.c

About the same as a transponder, I think. According to the FAA many weather balloons operate their transponders (if equipped at all) intermittently to preserve battery.

47 CFR 87.107 requires that radios transmitters in aircraft broadcast an identification number, and the allowed forms of identification aren't permissive enough for non-registered aircraft. ADS-B out is still relatively new (especially

This article [1] indicates that they burn up at altitudes between 37-50 miles above the surface. If so, that's well above the 40,000' that planes normally fly. [1] https://www.space.com/spacex-starlink-reentry-poll

I've also been on flights where they asked us to hurry, and then we (flight attendants included) sat and waited for other things to be completed. Not saying that was what you experienced, of course! Nor am I complaining. My understandi

I'm a _somewhat_ frequent flyer (5-8 trips a year). I've never experienced a plane being delayed by the time it take passengers to enter/exit the plane. I have, however, experienced delays because the baggage handlers are sti

This "blog post" appears to just be copy-pasted content from the NASA article [1]. I give credit for the source being cited, but it's still plagiarism. [1] https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/VirtualAe

Cheap, ubiquitous plastics have revolutionized every industry (tools, food, automotive, etc...). We wouldn't be able to consume anywhere close to current level without them. Not saying that's a good thing. But giving up plastics (

There is pretty much a hard limit on how much protein you need to intake. Often you'll hear one gram per pound of bodyweight as a rule of thumb, but in reality that is actually the ceiling. At the very most you need one gram per pound

There is something deeply disturbing to me about these "conversations". Reminds me of a Philip K. Dick short story titled Progeny . In its universe children are raised exclusively by robots. Unlike humans, they never make mistake

The best feature of my purpose-built static site generator is that it automatically builds (mostly) optimized WEBPs from any source image [1]. Not only does it reduce the image size, but it outputs many sizes of the image so that I can use

In addition to the ones people already mentioned: In Copenhagen it was very rare for people to cross on red. I never got and dirty looks when I did it, but it was definitely not the norm.

This is what "op": "test" is for. You can use it at the beginning of a patch to verify that the server's object hasn't drifted from your own.

I find it odd that they force you to sit with other people. I walked into a nearly empty Empire Builder dining car and was still forced to sit with people. Why not ask for people's preferences? During that trip, the company at breakfas

I've not used either, but it appears to be similar to JOI, yes. The main distinction is that ZOD allows you to extract a TypeScript type from your schema. This means you get both compile-time and run-time type checking.

War and Peace was my first introduction to the translation debate as well. I read and loved the Anthony Briggs translation, but I also read a few samples from the Maude translation and didn't think it was much different. In general, I

Also reminds me of the huge shortcoming that these "simple" serialization libraries have. In most use-cases you're eventually going to need some way to add/remove fields from the payloads. JSON and protobuf make that eas
