Indeed, the AAIB report I had in mind is purely hypothetical. There are other organizations better-positioned to publish a visually appealing, well-written preliminary report of a non-aircraft accident. But I like the AAIB style of having

Oh wow, it posts your cleartext email credentials to an API endpoint called “/ows/beta/ShadowService/getShadowToken”. But it least it calls the password string a “Secret” in the JSON payload so you can REST assured knowi

I’d love to read an AAIB report for that accident! It sounds like there were some significant eye injuries.

Even with the lights operating at half throttle, there is also a significant amount of energy in the non-visible spectrum from 6 of them focused on a small area for 5 hours. It’s amazing the acrylic windows didn’t melt, only the foam seal a

The studio lamps were placed much closer to the aircraft windows than the minimum safe distance of 10m, and there were a lot of them. According to the spec sheet for the Maxibrute 12 lamp head [1], it has 12 1000W PAR64 halogen lamps and th

Leucine and Isoleucine are both branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) that are found in cheese, eggs, most meats, seeds, and nuts. These foods are common in the western adult human diet, and may be more prevalent in certain protein-rich diets.

What a trip down memory lane (no pun intended)! Rest in peace, my WYSIWYG friend. It was a rough ride bringing VB to the web. There was VB Active Server Pages, then VB.NET Webforms, which did not always produce the most performant or secure

Tesla was artificially subsidized by selling carbon offset credits to traditional manufacturers, for example Ford. Otherwise they would not have been able to sell cars at such a huge loss. I don’t have a citation for this, but it was report

The study looked at almost 40 years worth of observational data from multiple correlated sources. That is one of its contributions relative to similar studies that looked at fewer sources of measurements, or used different methods.

I’m really grateful to the HN community for bringing quality research (like this study and others) to my attention. If there are old habits and behaviors, like indoor fires in this case, that can be easily avoided (by me) in exchange for a

I use a screenshot of the payment barcode from the Starbucks app when I’m in the store to pay. I do not want it on my phone. It seems to be constantly bombarding my wife’s phone with trivial prompts and notifications.

This was quite a big mess! Let’s see if there is a way to break it down in a Safety II fashion. 1. Airline human resources deviated from the traditional practice of hiring experienced rudder and stick pilots. 1. Overly permissive company at

I didn’t install the plug-in, but made a mental substitution and reread the thread. Now I am chuckling like a grade schooler over some madlibs and dribbled coffee down my shirt.

I haven’t followed the legal contours of this case very closely so perhaps these are not interesting questions. Who would go to jail if _no_ driver was in the car? From what I recall, the vehicle was a Volvo and its pedestrian detection and

There was a bit of a 180 in FL during 2021. One week the governor was announcing mass vaccinations at retirement communities, and the next week he was with volunteers giving shots of monoclonal antibodies at libraries and nurses protesting

There’s probably a relationship between the severity of a pathogen’s disfigurement and uptake of vaccines among the people who don’t get routine medical care.

Malware is defined many industry standard places, like NIST 800-61 which is the Computer Incident Response Guide, US-CERT, and EU-CERT. From what is your understanding of the term malware derived? Fundamentally, malware is about destructive

Was about to write a similar comment, but it seems like parents’ experience (rather than science) is the thing of real value at work here. As a scientist with no kid in the game whose opinion carries no weight though, I would concur with bo
