Perhaps more appropriately aircraft automation needs to continue to advance. Planes have had the ability to fly through almost every phase of flight on their own for some time now, but there has been relative slow advancement in automating

Your second point is utterly infuriating. That an institution whose mission is to educate people would refuse to allow the observations of a person to refute the obviously incorrect observations of a machine is astounding to me.

FM receivers have a limiter circuit, which cuts off any source of amplitude change from the original signal. I'm studying to become a ham right now, and this bit is fresh in my mind.

Yeah, I got two plagues and was able to do extraordinarily well. Not sure my subjects would entirely agree thought because, you know, plagues.

On the surface, it means SSH tried, and failed, to initiate an interactive session. In context, it means that either the developer has disabled new users, or this is simply broken at the moment.

There hasn't been any official word, as far as I know, but the rumor has been that the pad abort originally intended for November might happen in January sometime.

I remember paying for Angry Birds to remove the ads, then one day sitting down to play only to find that the ads had returned. Hit game or not, too many moves like that point to cultural problems not easily fixed with money alone.

PDFs? Range values? If I had to guess, I'd say they really don't want us to have this information.

Why do states love to promote rent seeking behavior? Because they receive the rent. Rather, the individuals in government receive the rent.

Snyder gets a lot of money from Ford, GM, et. al. The United Auto Workers gave the DGA about $1 million, according to MCFN. The union was the largest donor from Michigan, followed by the Service Employees International Union, the Michigan

1Password dropped support for Dropbox synching of the main vault some time ago. Wat? Not only is it still supported, but they recently squished a bug that caused Dropbox syncing to get disabled. Does your copy of the app not allow Dropbox

This. Trends are far more important for diagnosis than individual results most of the time . Trends in body temperature, blood pressure, blood sugar, etc usually tell a better story than one outlying result.

Don't you think the act of creating the legislation is itself part of the peoples' changing hearts and minds? To me it seems like you have the cause and effect reversed.

This feels like pie-in-the-sky sort of thinking. Sure, you can make certain kinds of decision making processes illegal, but it doesn't change the hearts and minds of the people making those decisions. As has been said here already, thi

It's probably trivial for congress to classify your rocket technology as a weapons system and forbid export.

We can argue all day about the use of scroll for navigation, but that would be sad because this is seriously cool.

I guess "resolved" is in the eye of the beholder, considering Google's mistake still cost them thousands of dollars that as yet remains unrefunded.

The article reads like a straw man argument in favor of begrudgingly accepting password auth for the time being. It's disappointing that he has omitted mention of things like Persona, browser certificates, or even the Google Authentica

I wonder what this will actually look like in practice. Will they be sending subscribers restaurant-branded ingredients to make named dishes from their menus, will they be marketed as approximations, or just generic recipes?

I think it disfavors new distilleries.

I wonder if this is the market reacting to a difficult regulatory environment. When you consider the laws pertaining to production, distribution, and sales of spirits, It seems like it would be darn near impossible to bootstrap such a busin

Netflix takes down content when they fail or decline to renew licensing terms with the content owner. In this case EA is the content owner. It will be interesting to see if they introduce their own artificial scarcity when they control bo

My current pet project is a Diplomacy adjudicator API. There are some dated web apps out there where you can play the game online, but I'd like for there to be well-tested and refactored backend as the basis for more modern web and mob

I've upvoted this because I want to see what really smart people have to say about it. That said, I've always been of mind that if someone gains unauthorized root access to my box, then nothing on it can ever be trusted again. Thi

I watched a few different cabs and they all seemed to generate around $600 in a 24 hour period. Am I the only person who thinks this is astonishingly low?

It isn't higher gravity they're overcoming with the first stage, but rather the much higher atmospheric pressure near the surface. Gravity in orbit is almost identical to gravity at the surface.

Yes, the first stage has landing legs. They're planning to deploy the landing legs over water and attempt to hover the booster just before it hits the surface.

If this baseline were so easily quantifiable, then there would be volumes written about it and the community would have settled on one long ago. The apparent risk is different for everyone, and weather is highly unpredictable.
