The IAEA said earlier this year that Iran had enriched uranium to 60%. Uranium is enriched to 3-5% for nuclear energy, and 90%+ for weapons. Don't be silly. Iran has a nuclear weapons program. Were they actively racing to a bomb? No. (

Source? Do you seriously think the US just agreed to accept Iranian nuclear enrichment?

The point was about redundancy / geo spread / HA. It’s significantly more difficult to operate two physical sites than one. You can only be in one place at a time. If you want true reliability, you need redundant physical location

Have you ever been to San Francisco? How many 6 lane highways do you think exist in the city of San Francisco? I can tell you (I live here) -- there are none. SF is one of the most beautiful cities on Earth, and I'm trying my hardest t

Quality of life in places like San Francisco and New York is very high, and you get the insane salaries, and your healthcare is oftentimes mostly if not completely covered by your employer (I pay literally $0 out of pocket for high qual

The person you're responding to is claiming that Americans have to pay $10,000 for a 2 bedroom apartment, thus that is why the salaries are so high. That isn't true unless you're looking to rent a luxury apartment in a big ci

Google is claiming the root cause is with some of their central IAM services, which would have a cascading effect to the rest of their services.

How do these detect tsunamis? They must be observing elevation changes, right? Is that GPS based?

Can they recover this OTA considering the systems can’t even boot?

I don’t know Windows systems. I’ve read it’s causing Blue Screen of Death. I take that to mean that systems can’t even boot. Right? Can this be fixed over the air?

Not an airline pilot / medical examiner, but I do read r/flying quite regularly. Your story is not uncommon. The general wisdom on DWIs is that yes it does hurt your chances of getting into airlines, but if it was (1) minor/b

> Have you actually flown a forward-slip? Yes, I'm a Private Pilot. I've done them dozens of time. Still feels weird to be flying sideways and cross controlled.

by pageandrew 3y ago
Cross controlled stalls are not part of the PPL ACS, which is I believe what the person above you was saying.
25.
by pageandrew 3y ago
Its not inherently wrong, but flying cross-controlled feels wrong to me. Probably because I don't do it very often, and I'm aware of the fact that it increases my stall-to-spin risk if I don't properly manage airspeed.

The ideal approach to landing is what's called a "stabilized approach", in which the aircraft descends to the runway at a constant 3 degree angle and constant descent rate. If the pilot finds themselves with too much altitude

They forward-slipped a Boeing 767 to bleed off the remaining altitude! A forward slip is a cross-controlled maneuver that feels unnerving and wrong enough in a Cessna 172, let alone a Boeing 767. And they did it with minimal hydraulic assis

Is it even theoretically possible to have data passthrough a power bank? I don’t know much about USB, but I’d imagine that only the power delivery pins are connected to anything, right?
