This is exactly why the takeoff clearances say “RNAV xxx, cleared for takeoff”. It’s a last confirmation, right before takeoff, of which departure procedure to use.

You can do the same thing with regular web search.

People today are more able to see people who are doing better than them economically, through social media etc., than at any time in the past. This is a huge contributor to the neg…

> in the U.S. there is basically NO safety net This is not true.

Referrals are valuable when the referrer has worked with you in the past and can vouch for your abilities, experience, work ethic, creativity, etc. with specific details. Generic r…

So these pension funds were fine with investing in Fox year after year despite all the other crap Fox News had been spewing, but somehow now they want to sue?

No, the market sets the interest rate. The government issues bonds to fund the government, and they have to offer an interest rate high enough to get buyers for all of the bonds th…

No, it was not always like this. It became an anti-tech, anti-capitalist publication some time in the last 5-7 years. I'm not sure why, but something similar also happened at other…

This article egregiously misrepresents the views and actions of the folks on the other side of the political fence from the author.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see this statement. The ACLU has really lost its way lately, shunning the principles it used to embrace and just parroting progressive talking points on…

Databricks introduced an open source data sharing feature earlier this year. I don't know Databricks well enough to comment on the other two.

The headline is a bit sensationalized. Their coverage ended on a Sunday and the new coverage started on Monday. And if anyone had denied claims on the expired insurance, they just …
