It's supposed to detect the automation / not real browser from other signals. They're deliberately vague about what those other signals are.

Same here. Glassdoor keeps saying everywhere that companies have no influence on the reviews. But they absolutely allow removal of bad reviews, even going as far as contacting our HR team offering it as a paid service.

Near-field being as big as 2 meters from the charger can be quite relevant for use in aircraft. Since on a narrow-body aircraft passengers can easily be within 2 meters of some of the VHF antennae. On the other hand, aviation voice radios a

But if the work can be done fully remote, why does the person need a visum to be in the US? Why not work remote from abroad without visa requirements and probably with lower cost of living?

This is roughly what we have now. Twice a month we organise a company wide update/demo session on Friday afternoon with drinks and food afterwards. Most work in the office that day and use the day for larger in-person meetings. Some pe

This is completely false. You need permission for any data you store on a user device or retrieve from a user device if that is not strictly needed for the execution of the service the user requested. Nowhere in the law is the word "co

There are millions of houses like that over here. An 8 kW heatpump is enough to heat the house, and with the high COP that would electrically only be a 2 to 3 kW load.

No, it's 35A single phase at 230V or you get a three phase connection which would have 3x 25A and the possibility to get 380V if using multiple phases. But those are getting rarer in newly built houses.

Civilian planes don't normally land with snow or ice on the runway, because directional control becomes very risky at low speeds. At landing speed you initially have control via the rudder, but once you're down tot taxi speed you

Also going straight up is a much higher risk operation than having some forward speed. The timeframe to eject in case of a problem is very very short when you're "hovering" while with forward speed the jet has much more stabi

The "airtight hatch" story is not fully applicable here. Executing VScode instead of a random exploit payload could be considered an increase in privilege, because you're going from an unsigned and unknown binary to one that

There was a malfunction according to most reports. There are many possible failures where the jet could fly but ejection was still the best choice. For example total loss of fight instruments in IMC (no / low visibility). It could then

The flight control system isn't aware of the ejection nor any navigation settings. It's not an autopilot, only a stability system that remains perfectly stable if nobody provides inputs. On autopilot it would be different. If the

They talk about it as some kind of feature to save pilots, but what they're describing is just how a normal fly by wire system works. If you are in straight and level flight and don't provide any inputs, it will remain in straight

In many European houses the main power line into the house has a 35A fuse at 230V, so that's only 8kW maximum load. Heating (and water) comes from natural gas, or a high efficiency electric heatpump.

Depends on your definition of expensive. In comparison with other military hardware, inertial navigation systems aren't that expensive. They're also used in large numbers in civil aviation.

They use the ADEXP to determine which part of the route is in the UK. Because the auto generated points are ATC area handover points. So this data is the best way so see which part of the route is within the UK airspace. Then it needs to fi

Only theoretically. In practice the only thing that usually matches is from which other ATC unit the plane is coming. But it could be on a different route and will almost always be at a different time due to operational variation. That does
