Management incompetence at several levels. Apparently the CEO and his advisors choose to execute layoffs at this speed, others below that either didn't push back (could be due to the type of CEO / associated culture) or their push

> Some of those who are being asked to return were laid off by mistake, according to two people familiar with the moves. Sure, "laid off by mistake" is a way to describe incompetence...

WAAS is North America only, because that's the specific name of the local system. The generic term is SBAS, which works in Europe, Japan, India, Russia, China and soon also Australia and parts of Africa. It's used by modern airpla

That's a special one-off kind of thing. But the railway museum runs a historic train hourly from Utrecht Centraal (I think the largest station in the country) to their museum. That's also a strange sight to see passing by at cross

Similar story for my mom. She was used to windows because at work she used locked down, centrally managed, IBM thinkpads for many years. The trick is that those were secure and managed. If anything didn't work, they just got swapped by

Try a WAAS or more general an SBAS receiver, they give accurate altitude information. Accurate enough to land an aircraft with.

You can even do this with simple AM radio stations. Tune an aircraft's ADF to the radio station frequency, get a bearing to the transmitter and then do the same with another station. From both bearings you can figure out where you are

For aviation regulations there is no different between an active or passive tracker, the rules are not about takers. The rules are about there being a lithium battery in it (there is) and whether it has a radio transmitter (it does, airtags

I think this is more targeted at beginners or at hardware/electronics people that have little software experience. In those cases vscode + platform.io is probably more daunting than a simple arduino editor with a button to flash your c

In the context of that day it meant Germany not approving Nord Stream 2, which is what happened. He didn't mean blowing it up.

Can you not just make a new account? Or does Airbnb do some verification that stops that?

I think the consensus is that letting them cry is unhealthy when younger than 6 months. But when over 6 months: What we used to do is to have a simple fixed routine (e.g. drink milk, sing a short song, put them in bed) so she knows what&#x2

They make stuffed animals that play white noise or even human heart sounds. Not sure whether there is scientific data on this, but a lot of parents use them.

It's really age dependent. We didn't do it as structured as OP going back at exactly 3 minutes etc. When she was under 1 year old she would sleep within 5 minutes, so no need to go back. Now that she's older and speaking, she

We did the same and there is one big contradiction between this and the research linked: you're not holding them or walking until they sleep, you let the kids fall asleep on their own with the confidence that you'll be back. In my

Same for Tesla's Bioweapon Defense Mode. Nearly nobody ever needs it but it gets them some low cost marketing / viral clicks.

I don't understand how they call a head-up display a premium feature and then continue to describe matrix-led-projection headlights that are only on the high end models of premium German brands. Head-up displays are available in a rela

I think that very different numbering is to make sure customers don't pick up the wrong box. They seem to put very different numbers next to each other in the warehouse.

It's not a legal right in my part of Europe but it's super common here for couples that both work and have young kids. The kids go to daycare 3 days per week and each parent takes a day off to cover the rest. Having done that now

Everyone remains IFR, but visual approaches are indeed the way to get a few more flights per hour in the US. Europe decided to instead keep the separation by radar, but allows lower radar separation (less distance) compared to the US once a
