(Disclaimer: I left Amazon about 6 months ago) Petitioning isn't a process in AWS, but you can ask your manager for a raise if your projected total compensation isn't to your satis…

The "your X has been replaced" pop-up doesn't handle the situation where an attacker knows your passcode. I think you might also be failing to account for situations where you aren…

This depends on how much regular income the employee has, how much cash would be required to exercise the options and personal risk tolerance, but it could potentially be a way to …

Regarding your 2nd answer, taking off quickly after another aircraft has departed is difficult because of wake turbulence. The most hazardous part of wake turbulence is the spirali…

Engine failure is the most important thing you are trained for when you transition from flying single-engine airplanes to multi-engine. Most multi-engine airplanes can even take-of…

Doesn't the equivalent Technogym treadmill also have the same risk of pulling a child under it though? The design looks very similar to the Peloton treadmill: https://www.technogym…

Lots of general aviation cockpits are moving to touch screens too. For example Garmin just got the G3X Touch approved for certified aircraft: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/6822…

People are forgetting that you usually have to return your accessories (charger brick and cable) when you trade-in an old iPhone. So it's not like people have that many chargers la…

My interpretation of this is a junior SDE position where you mostly update system configuration parameters all day instead of writing code or designing systems. People in these pos…

You should take an intro flight lesson at a flight school. There's no way the majority of people could safely fly a personal aircraft in all weather conditions. Flying cars will ha…

This is how quite a few high school football teams work... It's usually done through booster clubs.

If the airplane isn't in the clouds and is below 18,000 feet MSL the pilots are still responsible for seeing and avoiding other traffic. There are a lot of places in the USA that d…

Some restaurants just raise their prices to compensate for delivery fees. One extreme example is a burger restaurant in SW Seattle that charges $6.80 for a burger if you buy it in …

It looks like GE sells a bypass kit for $20 now: https://www.amazon.com/GENERAL-ELECTRIC-Plug-Bypass-WR17X236...

The FAA and ICAO regulation for flights above 18,000 feet is that you need to have enough fuel to reach your destination, an appropriate alternate airport, and cruise for an additi…

The engines were mounted above the wings on that airplane, so they wouldn't have scraped the ground during the touch-and-go.

Some companies will allow this, but only if it's a covered call or protected put on an investment that you own. The idea is that you're limiting your risk while also limiting the p…

The Mac Pro starts at $6,000. You can build a better PC for less than half that. In my opinion, the Mac Pro and its relevant accessories are targeting a luxury customer that doesn'…

My theory is that this will un-block Apple from making an OS that runs the same apps on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. If they start to sell Macs with custom ARM processor…

I assume they are launching this due to the recent news about WebKit removing support for progressive web apps (PWAs) in the future. This is also probably a move to compete directl…

This is really cool! It's more of a specification sheet than a user guide or operation manual though. This is what a pilot's operating handbook looks like for an aircraft like a Ce…

Apologies for the apparent astroturfing. I do work for Amazon but everything I post on social media is 100% my personal opinion. Nobody from work has ever asked me to do anything o…
