You are missing the point, it's obvious that a cockpit needs to account for stress or a crisis. Extending this to CAD software for example is nonsense.

I do not care about your opinion of acceptable language. Attempting to insert your off topic opinion is a character flaw. Keep it to yourself.

Horrible advice for expert tools. If you can make the assumption that the end user is going to learn the tool you can design it for peak effectiveness after a learning curve. If yo…

It's the implication of virtue signalling that it's a facade? If Steve the megarapist is writing articles about the latest popular injustice, does that make Steve virtuous?

Not inherently true, there is not really a path from manual sheet metal work to CNC for example.

Mostly the viability studies in the French reactor program. It heaviy depends on how you set up the comparison. If you look at most current energy markets and say "how can I make m…

The part I hate about the math used in this argument, is that really we should be working with a goal of much cheaper energy production, to enable other green technology. Yeah, if …

Generally you get less than 1/3 of ideal conditions during rain. Overcast less than 2/3 of ideal.

I suspect that you will have to get add in cards or drive caddies that also do power conversion, but these already exist (although expensive). More than 2-4 drives is starting to h…

Is the overlap between terrace and apartment renters and new car buyers all that high anyway?

They are trialing a radar again in the S, but from their marketing it doesn't look like it's a clear benifit yet

No, there was controversy over mistreated patients in a number of asylums. There were campaigns to close the asylums based on this, but no real plan for what to replace them with.

I feel like a focus on minimum wages is misplaced, it's hiding the real problem that is the value of labour has been diluted. The minimum wage should be set based on determining th…

Its a problem of metrics, if you look at the conditions of the middle third of the population, then historically less migration is better as a rule. If you look at GDP then it's mo…

The way a country gets crowded has less to do with the actual land, and more to do with the rate of growth and investment in infrastructure. The Netherlands had a similar populatio…

Soldering a crimp is not good practice, a correctly done crimp will not come loose (OEM connections are mostly crimped), and you risk making a brittle section if the solder wicks p…

Wikipedia is the marketing face of Wikimedia. People donate to the first, but the money gets used by the second, and Wikimedia grows to use all of the money it receives. Wikimedia …

The highest yield current mining and enriching processes beat that by about a factor of 10; there are a few sites globally that achieve that, Canada would be the most relevant. Don…

Americans tied up so much of their image of a "good person" with not being racist, that when in environments with no way to demonstrate that they are not racist, they had to invent…

The whole point is that the defund the police movement is a signal taken up by people not directly effected by the issue; not a comment on the details or potential effectiveness of…

This kind of thing is similar to fortune telling... There are some vague tales that occasionally coincidentally align with geological record, (or can be massaged to resemble anothe…

The worst encounters I have had with nurses have been with older ones filtering information and using out of date practices because they think they have seen it all and now know be…

I've seen plenty that go $100-350k, especially when it looks like a company is hiring a few people... Useless to a candidate, but not dodgy or malicious.

Because the CEO is managing a company that is either 40% bigger or 40% more profitable. The worker is likely doing similar work...

Have you experienced any of the current driverless taxi services? Personally i see the current limits to rollout as ones of hardware cost, but this is steadily declining.
