That's cool but it sounds like this tool is way oversold. It namedrops DFW and other great authors then shows examples of it correcting spacing and "brb." This isn't stylistic revising that takes you closer to those writ

This is similar to rock climbing and skiing. The commonality that I see is that they all require taking what comes at you, a random natural environment, and handling it as well as you can. They require an outward focus and quick adaptabilit

What is your point? No one should build expensive weapons because attacking them is so cheap? If anything, that strengthens the case for more expensive and sophisticated weapons. Canopy glass needs to block lasers, more RF shielding. Or y

A $5 bullet probably took down a $40 million F-117 Nighthawk over Serbia in the late 90s. You can always fill the sky with lead. No aircraft is impervious to the "quantity" argument. The F-35 would have a better chance at evading

Some people have successfully bought cars just to rent out via Turo (formerly RelayRides). It's not hard to make well over the monthly payment if you live near a major airport. Most insurers don't like this though and I wouldn&#x2

> I hope one day basic psychological check ups for children become as routine as a dentist visits. Agreed. Everyone should have a mental health professional. I think a huge step to reduce the stigma would be for a US president to mention

Same coziness goes on with EASA certifying Airbus aircraft. And then EASA gives Boeing a harder time with this understanding. This is why countries/regions have their own aviation regulators that perform their own independent evaluatio

I really hate to see web and app developers comparing to themselves to doctors. That seems far more egregious.

Yeah it's really not about inequality at all, but about the bad things. If there were zero inequality, with everyone in equal poverty, we should attempt to fix poverty. Likewise with non-zero inequality.

If you're interested in Buddhist meditation but in a more laid back environment, I highly recommend the retreats at the Thich Nhat Hanh affiliated monasteries in the US (Deer Park in San Diego, Blue Cliff in NY). It's only a coupl

Are you seriously suggesting Airbus aircraft are more dangerous than Boeing due to automation? The (public) accident data show that they have comparable safety records across the board. Carriers aren't clamoring to Airbus for less aut

Human safety adds massive overhead to any mechanical engineering project. I worked in aerospace. In probably 1-2 days, we could conceivably change a part drawing, send it to the shop, then have it start being manufactured en masse. Why don&
