I find it so odd to have such an extreme response to Apple all-of-the-sudden. Like they've been so great all of these years and only just now you're deciding to make such an extrem…

It is a pedantic but meaningful distinction that I'd only point out on a sorta geeky site like this, but actually, FL180 (or, flight level one-eight-zero) is the altitude at which …

The cones aren't to alert the pedestrians the the crane. The cones are to mark out a path in the road for pedestrians and to alert auto drivers to that path. As an American I get t…

Is there a good light under which to view this? It's corrupt. Isn't that far worse than whatever benefit you presume "HN" would be cheering?

What do you mean by "the short window when the labor to do so was affordable"? Other cities in the world seem to be able to build underground railways just fine and they have simil…

How would you imagine one could make driving better, aside from making public transit better? The best thing you could hope for if you feel like you need to drive within SF is to h…

There used to be a neighborhood around it that had architecture similar to what the neighboring North End still has, which is very distinct among the entirety of the Americas. The …

And at least there's this there now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cop_slide

Aside from silly "sales-tax-holidays" I've never heard of the sales tax rates changing so frequently. I'm curious to know where this is happening "multiple times per year". Here in…

Why did you expect a foreigner who is not from China to realize that they'd be inhibited by the local authorities from doing work they were invited to do by those same local author…

"Never" is a really long time. It would take a severe lack of vision to not be able to imagine that the following will -never- improve: charging infrastructure, charging technology…

A lot of folks aren't great with numeracy, so I think it's good to use examples to help people understand how much tax Apple didn't have to pay that they themselves would have had …

Wow, I feel like you have to have incredibly thin skin to be offended by the one or two sentences acknowledging the legacy of what these ships were principally used for. Bach's mus…

For monthly donations, the minimum is actually 3 EUR. And it's super easy to do from the US - just enter a CC number and billing address. What would be a lower bar? For smaller amo…

femou, are you affiliated with Zen? Do you know if there are any plans to add support for ARM users running Windows or Linux?

The reason for diverting is more about rules than simply the distance. If the weather was marginal at Tampa and the pilots were worried that another failed attempt would lead them …

I imagine there are innumerable 300 year old houses being preserved in Japan and that crossing the ocean wasn't needed to preserve this particular one. But this will be able to be …

I don't think the drivers are the issue. The infrastructure, including the signage and road markings are vastly more sane and regular in SF than in Boston. And have you seen the ro…

WSL is still very broken on Windows on ARM for any cpu intensive workloads. With the push to popularize this platform, I really hope some attention finally gets paid to the various…

Check out the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire or the Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont. I've heard it's also legal in CT State Forests but haven't actually …

Don't most of the airfare searching sites let you include your baggage situation into your query? Kayak does, at least. I just assumed the rest did as well.

Americans doing various "fitbit" challenges need to actually "try" to complete 10,000 steps in a day. People in 1909 would have had to try hard _not_ to complete this number of ste…

Sure you can, and they likely did start descending before contacting ATC. But before they did any of that, they had to spend some time donning their oxygen masks and doing a few ot…

United Airlines used to have this back in the days where your seat had an audio jack and a few channels of music to listen to. Channel 9 was the audio from the cockpit. Nowadays yo…

I think you're getting your aircraft manufacturers mixed up. On all modern Airbus airliners, there is no physical link between the two pilots' controls at all. On Boeing aircraft, …
