You're ignoring one of the biggest things in the divide between the 'haves' and the 'broke': many of Gen-Z are deciding not to have kids, despite the negative effects that this pro…

Wealthy? No. Flush with rapidly devaluing cash? Yes. A family of 5 with with 2 parents and 3 kids under 6 years old got a total of $19,300 (counting the monthly child credit paymen…

Very true. A family of 5 with 3 toddlers making $50k/yr got $19,300 in stimulus and expanded child tax credit, whereas that same family would have gotten considerably less if they …

Not sure where you live, but a family of two adults and 3 kids got $13,900 in stimulus checks so far in the USA, not counting the expanded child tax credits (which would be another…

Not on the desktop...

It's different. Earth already has intelligent life. Mars and the moon do not.

If you look at the blacklists they're using, they're going to hit basically all news that even touches on politics. That's bad , because it'll prevent news companies from informing…

It was a problem with the engine, not the airframe. The 787 ships with Rolls-Royce and GE engines - the GE equipped ones are fine. Boeing manufactures the planes, and then works wi…

You don't need to. You just need to know that the module as a whole has a fault. Reboot the module and let the hot spare take over (all critical functions have a hot spare).

Curious - what do the people making > 300k/year do? According to GlassDoor, even in San Francisco you have to be a director or VP to get that. Even Software Architects seem to be i…

Aren't these salaries for new grads? I wonder if the gap between the high earners and the low earners narrows with experience.

And this is why I like Boeing's new manned capsule better than the one from SpaceX: Boeing: https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2018/08/boeing-starliner-cre... SpaceX: https://i.kinja-…

Airbus jets carry passengers and have been fly-by-wire for decades. Cables and hydraulics have been replaced with software and computers. Like it or not, the software and hardware …

"The fault occurs when bits inside the microprocessor are randomly flipped from 0 to 1 or vice versa. This is a known phenomenon that can happen due to cosmic rays striking the cir…

Airbus does it too. They have several control laws that are used to provide flight envelope protection. It was the pilot's failure to understand his plane's software that caused AF…

You clearly have absolutely no background in aerospace engineering. The 737 airframe is actually relatively stable compared to many other things that fly ... for instance, many hig…

For those who are outside of the industry, the article is probably not completely accurate. I don't know specifically about the 737 MAX, but for many of their other newer airframes…

People should also understand that a 'good investment' and a 'wealth building tool' are not necessarily the same thing. Consider a world in which housing only keeps up with inflati…

The solution here is going to be to have MCAS automatically disengage when the two sensors disagree, which will change the stall behavior automatically. Airbus has the same problem…

The article implies that the test stand was running at a fixed frequency. This makes me suspect that this has to be designed to interfere with transmission of sound at a specific f…

Also, they plan to tax ride sharing (which people have shown demand for) and use the money to improve public transit infrastructure (which people have shown distaste for). Why, why…

And based on my brief research on this specific pipeline (which appears to have been scrapped), the gas was to be used for power generation. There was also a proposal for a 320KV t…

You are correct. In fact, one cruise line did attempt to build a ship in the USA during the early 2000s for the purpose of running cruises in Hawaii. The project was a disaster. No…

This is why you also (annoyingly) can't go on a cruise between solely American ports (IE, Hawaii island tour; California->Hawaii; Washington->Alaska; eastern/southern/western seabo…

> there has to be a better way than to put protected national land at risk. Please explain where the high risk is ... explosions in the middle of nowhere aren't going to hurt much,…
