All airlines do this. It’s frustrating, and it has to do with playing the game with the DOT. They are punished for cancelling flights, but not delaying them, so the game is to delay rather than cancel until there is truly no option but to

Wouldn’t it be easier and cheaper simply to focus building your data centers in other poorer countries where your permits won’t be blocked? Why would the next most logical choice be “let’s put it in orbit”?

Ukraine would love the F35. We won’t sell it to them at any price, though, because of the escalatory concern with Russia. We only just barely decided to allow them to have F16.

The Gestapo had the backing of the courts and the laws as well. Your argument is not as strong as you seem to think. Also -- it's fairly well documented at this point that ICE is often without a warrant, and is detaining and in some i

You clearly DON’T “get it”.. obviously Trump is different than Hitler, but to say he’s nothing remotely close is some serious handwaving. ICE is acting a LOT like the Gestapo. Trump is telling obvious lies and his supporters simply parrot i

On the other hand, if privatizing ATC is one of your goals, this is probably an effective way to force the issue. (Current Airline Pilot here, definitely NOT in favor of privatizing ATC, but historically breaking things on purpose is the us

I've been without an IT gig for the last year, though it had nothing to do with the overall tech market tightening. Prior to my gig ending, I'd already made the decision to change careers (at least for a while), so I haven't

I'm not sure why you find it distracting, it's an on point extension of the scenario. There are rules by which companies are supposed to operate, and evaluations (audits, for example) intended to ensure compliance with those rule

I'm just about to start my new job as an airline pilot at 46. I didn't primarily decide to career shift away from IT because of AI, but it was definitely a consideration.

Your personal choice is fine for you. My personal choice is to enjoy a cup or two of coffee per day, because I love the way it tastes, not because I want or need the caffeine. I currently don't have regular employment, as I am attemp

I personally love the taste of coffee. If decaffeinated were able to achieve the same flavors, I'd be quite happy with it. Unfortunately, it doesn't taste at all the same.

More than half? Source? Trump may well win this election. But there’s no scenario under which he’s going to also win the popular vote while doing it, at least none that I’ve heard of. If you have credible information that says otherwise

You aren't quite right here. Temperature inversions are when the atmosphere warms as you go up instead of cools. The atmosphere usually cools at a fairly constant rate as you go up, at least in the troposphere. This layer of warmer

I would agree with the statement that money can't buy time that has already passed, because nothing can do that. Money can definitely buy time in the present moment, though.

Except that money DOES buy time. When I have money, I can convert it to time to do things I enjoy. When I don't have money, I need to spend my time to get money in order to survive. I find the statement that "money can't b

This is a pretty biased take in my opinion. I personally know at least one person who has lost more than 80lbs on Wegovy, after not being able to lose weight for years. It's been a literal sea change for her life, at least.
