If you're talking civilian, then about all I could recommend is to take your time and let the experience build instead of trying to do too much at once. Most civilian pilots I know that have learned to fly fast jets tend to have to cr

Well, I've hit birds with wingspans around a dozen feet (didn't go measure). They make a mess, and have killed people I knew, but that was mostly because of their size and the penetration of the windscreen. Hitting a smaller obj

Choosing might be the wrong word, but I would say "accepting", as I sincerely doubt the CEO is unknowledgeable of product delivered vs (expensive) rework required and demanded. One monkey on their back is the ever short-sighted d

Amazon took nearly a decade to become profitable, and seven years after its IPO, and that was during the crazy growth of the dotcom era. The article seems to try to make something of the company being around since 2009, ignoring that they
