No way. Looking out the window is one of the joys of flying. Picking out my house, seeing tiny cars on a remote highway, etc. Even 100+ MP cameras and high resolution screens won't…

Agreed - it is very similar to Google Maps.

The article is from 2023. I wouldn't be too hard on the author as it was still a novelty back then.

Similar experience with my Pixel 5 but different outcome. My SIM tray crumbled and they sent me a new phone under warranty.

This is fun. Like a cross between Bananagrams and a crossword. Scored 26 today but I'll be back tomorrow to do better.

You can still visit Sizewell B, the plant in the article. I visited last year. Two very knowledgeable guides led our group of 4 on a 3-4 hour tour of the facility, including the tu…

Saffron is 94 USD per gram at major Australian grocery stores. When I went earlier today, this locally-grown product was the only saffron available. https://i.imgur.com/q8z9MBF.jpe…

The bracing provided by the backing sheet makes all the difference. Some of the simple desks the sell are nothing more than a tabletop and four screw in legs. With no bracing the d…

London prices have been high for a long time but growth has been more reasonable since the flat construction boom. Eyeballing from a chart here ( https://www.plumplot.co.uk/London-…

I've found it's best to use a combination of written and spoken word, when trying to communicate more, but less frequently. i.e. - Write a set of concise, clear, well-structured di…

Stop signs are blank on the back. Could you hide the text instead?

This is great. It's beautiful, and you've explained the field of tidy tree generation really well. I wish I had this to refer to last year when implementing something similar in VB…

I'd happily pay 5x the price of the cheapest product available, if I knew I was getting a higher quality product with a longer lifetime. However, I can never tell if this 5x premiu…

For anyone who finds this interesting, I recommend reading Underground Maps Unravelled, by Robert J Maxwell: http://www.tubemapcentral.com/writing/umu.html It covers the history of…

I've been working on an Excel tool to procedurally generate Powerpoint value driver tree graphics from spreadsheets. https://aaronbrooker.com/vdttool Most corporates only have MS O…

I think you are talking about Blendle which up until a few years ago let you pay by the article for many major newspapers and magazines. I miss it.

Does the Netherlands even have hills and valleys?

The issue with the MAX8 is that it is fundamentally imbalanced. The larger heavier engines are tacked on to an airframe similar to the existing 737, constantly causing the plane to…

I have the below address bookmarked - easier than digging through menus! chrome://settings/content/notifications

Earlier this year I worked in the finance department for a major airline with significant B737 Australian operations. As much as I would have liked these numbers to be false, they …

A typical 737 pilot earns 200-250k AUD and can work no more than 72 hours per month, including training, admin, etc. If a pilot needs so much sleep that they can only safely work 1…

The hotels are not allowed to offer a lower price than booking.com. To undercut, or offer bonuses, risks then getting pulled from one of their largest sales channels.

I just ran it at 1% instead of $1. On only 5% of days was the spread greater than 80 -> 120.
