That seems a bit harsh. People can independently become experts without being familiar with the terminology used by existing experts. Further, if intended for a non-expert audience, it may even be deliberate to loosen definitions of terms u

I think you make a good point. But here's my counterargument: if I buy someone a ticket to a concert, then are they bound to the terms I agreed, including in relation to harm to them caused by (alleged) supplier negligence? I'd ar

I'm not keen on the network config being scattered across a dozen tiny files. It makes it hard to see what's going on, or to spot a configuration error.

Indeed, although our fear is that something unrelated will fail, so it's a bit of a risk on the capital expenditure.

For my 2015 Leaf, 80% means about 15 kWh. Sometimes I need more than that to get home, or even to the next charger. Percentage charge is not the best measure here. I appreciate that charge rates slow down after around 80% regardless of capa

Businesses already charge as much as the market will bear. If they could charge more money and provide nothing extra in return, they would. They don't need an excuse. That's how the free market works. It follows that competition i

It allows those who care to be charged for caring, and thus subsidize the tickets of those who don't care, as well as to lower the headline price of tickets which helps with marketing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

Ubuntu uses grub recordfail and has done so for years. Userspace records if the boot was successful and the bootloader can use this to change it's behaviour (eg. boot a previous kernel). I think by default it stops at the boot menu for

That's a good point. But if you're 50nm from a DME, I think you're unlikely to be able to get a lock in practice.

One thing I have yet to understand is why DME-DME is preferred over VOR-VOR. Because the latter can support unlimited aircraft, unlike DME.
