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

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. Getting rid of those intervening spaces entirely would

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/the_notam_sy...

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.

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 out a word in the wild for the first time, e

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-your-own, and whether or not to include NL -> TL cards.

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 the 90s, and the only reason more people weren'

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 charges, I believe you'd use the default 5 year statu

FoV is still very valuable for general situational awareness, IMO. I spend very little time zoomed in. Mostly when trying to pick up a ground target. I agree it feels very wrong in VR.

I've never used the Index so can't personally compare them. vr-compare.com shows it as having about 30% less pixel density, which is substantial; the pancake lenses of the Pico 4 also offer a large sweet spot. (The Reverb G2 is pe
