Good for you! Then you must know that the internet connection in Iran is not back to normal [1]. [1] https://x.com/netblocks/status/2015695423000756250?s=20

Good points! I’m not an expert, so I’ll wait for people who know more to weigh in. But as far as I know: (1) they still need to import basic necessities like food and medicine, and…

Hard to make it airtight without tanking the economy. Since the economy is already tanked, I guess they don’t care anymore.

Astroturfing much? I haven’t been able to talk to my family for three weeks. Friends who manage to connect are hopping from one workaround to another because IPs are routinely bloc…

Well, even Blake knows that Overture is highly unlikely to survive as a product. Best of luck to him with this pivot. I really wish him success. He has spent more than a decade of …

What is exactly the point of this post? How is related to HN? Wish you best of luck in your surgery but this post if off topic.

There isn’t much value in gravity assists from Uranus or Neptune since they move much more slowly than Jupiter and Saturn.

No, don't use it to fix your grammar, or for translations, or for whatever else you think you are incapable of doing. Make the mistake. Feel embarrassed. Learn from it. Why? Becaus…

Again, it doesn't matter. You could apply for 100 candidates hoping to get one candidate accepted. For these firms, individual candidates don't matter. They want to get X number of…

Unfortunately that doesn't work in practice since the consulting firms submit multiple applications for multiple candidates to get one candidate in. I believe charging extra for ea…

The largest and the most regressive tax since it impacts mostly the lower economic class that's already struggling with the cost of living.

That was the point of TPP which the US withdrew from in 2018.

I still have my T61 thinkpad from 2007. Other than the dead battery, it works great.

True but on the way down, two out of 15 Raptors didn't fire. And of course the Raptor on the Starship failed too.

It’s a poor design. When you have 33 engines, the failure rate is 33 times higher. Although I’m not sure what’s the absolute minimum number of engines for a successful mission. Reg…

You understand that USPS is not sending you junk mail but some advertiser pays them to do so, right? So perhaps you are suggesting that USPS should increase the rates? Because othe…

Indeed although it wasn’t a fighter; it was a reconnaissance aircraft.

And they have not! Both F22 and F33 are significantly slower than say F4, F104, or F106 all designed in the 50s.

Physics has not changed since the 60s. Wave drag due to shock waves is still a thing.

Obviously you’re not a pilot. It might be helpful for you to listen to a few ATC transcripts of emergency situations.

How would you deal with all sorts of emergencies involving human pilots? For unmanned aircraft(aka drones) it’s a lot easier to implement unmanned traffic management (UTM).
