Cool video of the upper stage breakup from Turks and Caicos

tin foil hat, that's the only way :)

Treason doth never prosper, what’s the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it Treason.

My $0.02: - The stick-and-rudder skills aren’t hard and not the main reason people die. It’s the decision making that kills. - The “faster to fly” than drive for me starts at about…

With 10+% annual inflation in US in the last 2-3 years, 20+ P/E doesn’t look bad at all. Actually anything under 40 or so should be a strong buy.

Thanks for explanation. I will read the code to see how sharing works.

That’s not what I saw in the code but I didn’t spend much time so I might be wrong. I’ll check it more carefully later. But if this indeed is whole DB then it’s very limited use ca…

Does the server reads specific rows from spam numbers DB or the whole database?

Evil server stores BOTH encrypted and plain text phone number in the same db row

Exactly, plain text phone number in the same db row

If we assume that server is “evil” then the server can store both PIR encrypted and plain text phone number in the same row in the database and when this row is read, simply log pl…

Since for telescope what matters is the surface size of the mirror (light collected is proportional to surface which is proportional to r^2), the 9m telescope is ~1.9x better than …

Not sure what exactly are you looking for. Bunch of info is on FAA website, for example: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/aim_html... https://www.faa.gov/air_tra…

DME (distance measuring equipment) is much simpler than LORAN. However, navigation computers can use multiple VOR / DME signals to compute position similar to LORAN or GPS. The pro…

Botched go around killed many pilots. May be trimmed too much up for landing with flaps and didn’t push nose down hard enough. In general, touch and goes in a high performance plan…

AI history starts from Newton gradient descent ;)

WhatsApp works for me

"You know nothing, Jon Snow"

I also got my license around that time with eb6, paper charts, VORs, NDB approaches, … and I don’t miss it a bit. Nostalgia - yes. But not missing it. I like to fly direct, I like …

Same is true for aviation nav aids: VOR, ILS, … stations transmit their name in Morse code for identification.

I fly ifr nearly all the time with exception of local flights like a test flight after picking up the plane from annual (even then I am talking to tower or approach just in case). …

The purpose of initial training is to teach the pilot how to fly a plane “by feel”. The best PC simulators still lack the details: How does wind sound change with airspeed and AOA?…

1/ Visual vs instrument approach. The main difference in this case is separation requirements that ATC must provide. Specifically, under IFR rules ATC mus provide 3 miles / 500 fee…
