It's very weird that what was once a site about technology and entrepreneurship has come to hate both.

Sixfortyfive on Reddit claims to have done testing of this, and disagrees. https://www.reddit.com/r/SimCity/comments/1euehye/how_simcit... > The water system has one very significa…

Or for that matter the author's own book, The Secret Horsepower Race.

Having been on the other side of the table... there's a tactic students will sometimes use, where they don't understand the question but will simply attempt to regurgitate everythi…

There's a certain irony in your outrage at his failure to control his emotions, even as your own rage leads you to dream of hurting his family.

I feel like the featured articles are good if that's what you want. The archives go back like 20 years.

Townhouses with no intervening space would likely be an improvement. Browse Altadena in streetview and you'll see loads of houses with vegetation -- tinder -- stacked between them.…

Normally they land with flaps down, which reduces landing speed.

Because the system is bureaucratic and stupid. Notices warning pilots about irrelevant obstacles are, literally, a meme. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/flying/comments/wzsvru/th…

No. The ILS localizer was 260 meters from the threshold, not 2.1 NM (3800m).

I don't see that note. There's one "extreme caution" note but it's about some other obstacle 2.1NM from the threshold of runway 1.

It has happened before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan_International_Airline...

This is very personal. I credit "fun" classroom conversations with scaring me off French for a decade. Anki on the other hand is great, it's a big dopamine hit when it lets me pick…

I've been satisfied with Anki for French over the last year or so. The big schisms I see among other users tend to be sentence cards vs vocab cards, pre-existing decks vs build-you…

I'm not the parent commenter, but I use a Dygma Raise (60% split kb). It has some issues but navigation hasn't been a problem. I use two of the thumb buttons as momentary (push-and…

Subsidizing a heavily regulated industry sounds like a good way to waste a lot of money.

Typically this happens during take-off when rotating. This particular failure mode doesn't make much sense for an airliner in cruise.

Number of groundings depends on the subjective judgement of FAA employees. It's not useful as an objective measure. Christ, Boeing planes used to just spontaneously explode back in…

Quantas 72 is a flight that experienced a sudden uncommanded pitch-down (-0.8g), causing injuries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas_Flight_72 So it's in principle possible. But…

"passenger says". I'm dubious and betting on clear-air turbulence, but we'll know in a few days.

IANAL, but as far as I can tell that's only for civil actions (and it runs from the date that the damages are discovered, not necessarily the time of the offense). For criminal cha…
