The F-35 has six cameras embedded in the aircraft which project images inside the helmet, literally allowing the pilot to look through the airframe. https://www.f35.com/about/capabilities/helmet

The Lenovo Yoga line is pretty great in general. I've been eyeing them pretty hard recently.

This is where it falls apart, in my opinion: >Schmidt vehemently disagrees. “The economic return to higher education over a lifetime produces significant compound greater earnings.” It’s true, on average, economists find that college rai

And one of the issues here is that the existing regulations didn't make much sense. The exact same aircraft that would be considered a model aircraft if you would fly as a hobbyist would suddenly be classified as a UAS the instant yo

The same advisory that puts a 400ft ceiling on model aircraft also requires the operator to contact and get approval from ATC if they're within a 3 mile radius of an airport.

Very much possible. Ardupilot is one of the more full-featured open source packages, but there are simpler autopilots out there as well. It's pretty common practice to at the very least have a GPS based "return to launch" sys

>I'm not too familiar with IE (heh), but is the upgrade mechanism better in IE10? That might explain the higher drop. I think that's the point. Users are actually upgrading from 10 to 11.

This was exactly my reaction to reading this document. It mirrors "too big to fail" startlingly well.

There are a lot of prescriptive "rules" in English that aren't really rules. Ending sentences in prepositions is probably my favorite.

Okay, I'll let you get back to being a special snowflake, then. Have a good one.

You still haven't even attempted to address the original argument. Are you trolling or just naturally obnoxious?

I'm not sure, beyond effort required. It would at least be slightly less actively harmful to advertisers, though.

Where am I asking Facebook to curate (in this case, read: cull) from posts that I've indicated that I want to see? I'm asking to see posts from something I've explicitly stated an interest in; I'm not asking them to pick

Facebook determines post visibility based on engagement. If a high percentage of your likes are fraudulent and don't engage, that means that the initial group your post is shown to is less likely to engage, and, in turn, your post is l

You've opted for total ad hominem and strawman without even touching upon the complaint made in the video: that Facebook's advertising system is designed in a manner that reduces the reach and value of that advertising when it&#x2

From a user perspective, I like things because I want to see content. It annoys me to no end that I know I'm missing out on updates from sources I care about because Facebook selectively decides what to show me, and effectively holds

Coinbase is great for exchanging BTC/USD, but it's not a trading market like mtgox.

Coinbase has already recovered some today. It had dipped below $700 when I woke up this morning.

I'd also say it demonstrates the importance of identifying a niche. Nobody cares about generic AltCoin #842012. Positioning themselves as a tipping currency was a smart move. The internet has badly needed a way to reward people with ve
