   This will be good for beginner pilots to make some cash. I used to attend a flight school and knew some graduates making minimum wage as entry-level flight instructors, and there are stories abound of commercial pilots not doing much better

   Aside, but can we drop the scare quotes? If something frightens you, just say it. Or choose a better word.

   Gabe was raving about the Surface even with Ballmer at MS. I guess now it's time to credit anything good happening to Nadella's chairmanship.

    One approach I've heard is to create more "engineering technology" degrees with a focus on practical, industry engineering. These would lack the coverage of theory of traditional degrees but would be cheaper and better suite

    I wonder if they'll ever get the vehicle below $200k with the 64-beam 360-degree FOV LIDAR.

    Another "stop liking what I don't like" view. You could make similar arguments against fast food and other products of convenience.

    No, you developed it. Clever marketing though, it seems so far HN is buying into it.

    As a MeFite of several years, I've gotten a lot of useless/terrible advice through Ask MeFi. Basically for any subject remotely esoteric, you'll get a lot of "subject 101" answers and ones that are totally wrong. Fo

    This is Malcolm Gladwell nonsense and not backed up by the fact that Chinese-Americans who learn English first (e.g. Nobel laureate Steven Chu) do just as well as their Chinese counterparts.

    Sure. 100 GPa is 14.5e6 psi. The pressure of an adult human standing on the ground is 1-2 psi (depending on weight, foot size). Pretty much all metals begin to yield at or less than 40e3-70e3 psi.

    Yeah, but still very limited by aspect angle to engine exhaust. Detection is ok, tracking is poor unless very close or with LoS to the tailpipes. Anything ground-based will almost never be able to stare directly at the aft end of an aircraf

    IR attenuates rapidly in the atmosphere and is only useful for very short range detection (short range missiles, TV remotes, "laser" tag guns). The artist's concept seems to show the standard flat exhaust intakes (first emplo

    Don't forget: get pilot's license at 17, and for at least senior year of high school, attend a military academy prep school.

    There's a typical trend of people underestimating the severity of dangerous situations, but also pilot bravado in thinking, "I've got five minutes of altitude left, I can save this thing!" rather than the desk jockey, hi

    Thanks for this. I don't see why people think 30 mm slugs are effective against tanks designed to resist 120 mm penetrators or shaped charges, including top armor hits. And simply enduring battle damage is insane against modern MANPA
