This is honestly one of the few cases where it looks so blatantly and obviously negligent that I'm comfortable commenting ahead of the investigation results. Even in a case where someone has drilled themselves into a mountainside, ther

Did fly jets, although not transport-class ones. Just to hammer home that everything here is correct, and the common thread through all aircraft types is disciplined execution. You fly an approach on airspeed and/or angle of attack, a

The fact they were even in that situation is only worth philosophizing about to a point. Because they were only in that situation due to what appears to be a series of totally unacceptable decisions that got them there. Based on everythin

CH Robinson, though, just lost a lawsuit at the Supreme Court with similar premises. They are a freight forwarder and third-party logistics outfit that contracts large amounts of capacity with subcontractors (airlines, trucking companies,

You're being downvoted because actual qualified aviators are telling you how egregious of a mistake this looks to be, and you're quibbling with them without any professional credibility on the subject. Sincerely, A former military

So do you or do you not believe the First Amendment protects speech on this website? Or does it only protect quill pens and moveable type printing presses?

No, in a pinch, you're just beclowning yourself with your utter ignorance of carrier air operations. They're not striking the entire air wing below just so one C-130 can land and take off, and that's assuming a stunt pulled b

You're just revealing your ignorance of Navy supply chains with this comment, and I say that as a veteran who has no support for the ongoing shitshow, only sympathy for my former colleagues trapped underway.

There's arguably more journalistic malpractice going on than actual journalism. Think back to anything you can speak to with some authority, personally or professionally. Think of the last time a reporter actually got it right. It do

The absurdity of anarchism is thus shown. It always ultimately ends up re-inventing government.

At some point, esoteric UIs may have been needed in the 70s, but that ship has long sailed. I don't need to give myself carpal tunnel syndrome trying to quit vim. If anything, a lot of that is also a problem that continues to plague

They're also not doing that to pay for tobacco. Come on. Heroin is justifiably illegal for good reason already; you're stretching the analogy past breaking point.

If the author was trying to make a point (as many sci-fi authors were), it's totally reasonable to call out someone who misses the point. Like the people calling Starship Troopers fascist. Or even funnier, the people calling Heinlein

Absolutely true. It's just tiresome to hear internet people decide the NSA is $GENERIC_VILLAIN when they're an intelligence agency with a given remit. Of course their job is to hack and penetrate foreign systems to get intellige

The NSA's job is to collect information, not screw with people's water.

The problem is things like regulation and litigation have pushed the price of those modern technologies up outside the reach of everyone who isn't filthy rich, meaning the average GA pilot is tooling around in a clapped-out rental C172

Yeah, Littler is one of THE union-busting, anti-worker law firms out there. Their website specifically notes that they specialize in labor law from only the side of representing management.

As someone who has been both a software professional and a jet aviator, the same process is going to occur in both. Humans will still be in the loop, but the span of control and effectiveness of each individual human will explode. There&#
