To expand a little, I think the biggest issue that Chelsea has with a grand jury is that the entire process is sealed. If it were a public hearing then she would be much more likely to testify, because we would know what was asked, what wa

I don't think it's about that. Chelsea already served a prison term for stealing classified documents. President Obama commuted the sentence, but did not pardon her, so she's already been convicted and served her entire sen

Then I suppose that with really bad visibility someone could probably fake an ILS and cause the plane to crash without the pilots having the chance to recover. After looking around, it seems that several large airports,.and even a few medi

by throw20102010 7y ago
Possibly, but the pilots would have to screw up as well. You typically tune in the ILS when you're expecting to pick up the approach. It's not like you set the ILS frequency hours before landing and just follow the first signal

Following up here. For a new jet (new type certificate), there is a minimum amount of required flying to get rated- in this case, you can put many pilots through a $15 million simulator and not put any wear and tear on your shiny new jets.

The simulators are certified training devices, which means that you can do part of your legally required training in them (and not have to fly an actual jet). To be certified as a training device it has to be accredited to act similar to th

First, I am not a lawyer. Yes, negligence can be tried as a criminal act, but there's no way this situation would pass the Justice Department's sniff test. Any negligence that would have happened almost certainly happened on US

I think their general idea is to make 10nm CPUs on very small dies, so that they can get a reasonable acceptance rate. Then push as many ancillary functions as possible onto 14nm silicon. Bam! A tiny 10nm part surrounded by a bunch of 14nm

I really hope that's listed in chronological order, because otherwise he's throwing serious shade at the Royal Society. Edit: I checked it out- Matlab has been around since 1984, and Prof Trefethen was made FRS in 2005. Safe.

There would not be a fight over extradition, at least as long as the executives stay in the USA. The USA does not have an extradition treaty with either Ethiopia or Indonesia, and the USA won't even consider extradition if they are co

No, I was including it. Adding 150 lbs to a 1,200 lb battery only reduces the overall energy density by 11%. Adding 360 lbs to a 120 lb tank of gas reduces energy density by 75%. Where gas originally appeared to have a density advantage

I suspect that the number of people that have to travel long distances (or across a lake) to get something from USPS are pretty rare, so Amazon's just eating the cost. Also, the number of people that actually call/IM customer supp

Some generals would certainly think that. To them, they are thinking of battle rattle as a knapsack problem where soldiers have demonstrated the ability to carry 80+ lbs of weight and 80+ liters of pack size. 10 more lbs of bullets means

Just to continue the discussion: 4,500 Wh/kg is still a 10x improvement on this new state of the art, and over a 20x improvement in current popular battery chemistries. Gas looks pretty good. Another thing to consider is the weight o

Yes, both countries absolutely still do this, but it's possible that they've lowered their readiness a little since tensions have decreased. As Mitch Hedberg said, "I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too."

Python is used more than Mathematica, but you never read a blog by Guido van Rossum claiming that he changed the world. It's the messiah complex that people find off-putting, not that he has put together a good product. Mathematica&#x

That's what I meant when I said "wardrive" around the neighborhood and look for where the signal strength peaks. It's easy in theory, but I'd guess you'd probably only narrow it down to plus/minus two hou

I'll say your sentiment is mostly correct, but it probably wasn't a matter of minutes. To use an existing DF setup on 315 MHz means changing your LO (local oscillator, aka your frequency source) and filters at a minimum. If you&

There is such a thing as a generalized inverse, in which you can invert non-square or non-full rank matrices and the generalized inverse meets many (but not all) of the properties of an inverse. The tough part is that the agreed upon set
