Sounds like a very good person to have in that position. Being a single pilot in an aircraft, she would not only have years of experience relying on automation, but also risk-reward decision making involving life or death. Self-driving cars

This is a plea deal, no one is going to plea to the maximum, which in this case is 20 years. The punishment can also be a fine [1], which may be fitting if the goal was profit from a YouTube video. When news articles mention the maximum, e

Since it's a plea deal I wouldn't expect anywhere near the maximum. Additionally, it looks like a fine and/or prison. Since the goal was to make money on a YouTube video, I could see the plea being more on the fine side, wit

They also say my $60/yr is essential so I can’t see NPR saying $3 million as non-essential.

Seems like the US Air Force got it pretty right to me. They were instructed to shoot down the unidentified flying object and they did.

No, it doesn't take "far more resources." All pilots, military or civilian, need to accumulate hours to stay current. Flying to investigate or shootdown a balloon isn't going to take more resources than ordinary traini

What an arrogant hack. It's hard to believe Google engineers would find that a reasonable approach. If I'd have seen that during a code review, I would have called it out and explained that you shouldn't abuse someone else&#x

Sad but true, I've grown to realize that it's important to highlight the applications that just work or were easy to extend because of a little foresight, otherwise it's too easy to forget. As I've done this more, I real

Couldn't agree more, and one of the more frustrating aspects of the job. I especially for situations where I find out that someone fixed a problem for x, even though they knew at the time the problem existed for y and z, but "no o

C'mon, there is a huge difference between an airline selling a seat they don't have and not having it due to an equipment issue.

It seems to me that the actual Pluralsight created courses were high quality, but I think their acquisitions diluted that.

The guy is a an actual airline pilot. He's showing the same stuff that NTSB would be analyzing in their investigation. You're oddly barking up the wrong tree by complaining about a genuine pilot's non-sponsored youtube channe

The first couple of responses seemed a bit dismissive and impolite to me. Quickly remedied by a courteous and professional response by Richard Hipp. I'm talking about things like, "You should not expect this to get a lot of atten

The Blancolirio channel is pretty respected when it comes to covering aviation incidents. (Seriously, the first article of the site linked in the parent comment was just talking about most expensive airports for Christmas car parking.)

Yeah, clearly only Americans do this. Ignore the fact that monarchs have been christening ships for thousands of years.

Considering Little Rock is a C130 airlift base it's pretty easy to rule that out without looking at stars.

It's not criminal to be cautious about approving drugs. Remember the people affected have purposely eaten a wild mushroom -- they risked their own lives first.

That seems pretty unsafe without running it through some sanitizer. Trying not to judge too hard, but I would be concerned about the implementation of showHtmlPage by the same author that didn't handle non-json responses.

The morale (semi-official) or unofficial ones certainly usually have an element of humor or ridiculousness. The official ones must follow guidelines and must be approved, so that has taken a bit of the fun out of it. Some info on the offic
