Why? Is ATC a problem in other countries than the US? Are they also under training pilots? If anything RyanAir with its flamboyant history of cost cutting (CEO always threatening to charge for use of …

This is baseless with no references or citations. What possible incentive would he have for sounding this alarm and urging congress to act when he could be using the data he secretly is collecting for…

I worked at a place with just such a system. Half the application code was baked into sprocs, no version control and hidden knock on effects everywhere. There was _one guy_ who maintained it and under…

True but he wasn’t ruling like the kings of old. Parliament was the governing body and was very powerful even if the king still retain more power of redress and authority than he does today

Isn’t that the point? If our simulation didn’t look like the universe, it wouldn’t be a very good one!

Your salary is not about moral desserts but about how much value or money you bring to someone else. That’s why a laborer gets paid a few dollars for a backbreaking day of work and Matt Damon makes a …

Ah, of course: inhuman concrete and strange angles and colors. My theory with all the high art that the “man in the street” sees as weird or childish garbage is this: if youre a critic or on the insid…

Don’t forget that this model would have a phd in everything and work around the clock

The actual quote is the other way around. What evidence does the parent have for intentions to harm instead of just making stupid cuts, completely inline with their well documented history of simplis…

But everyone benefits by eating the soup and has a good time partying together. The last page of the soldiers running away before the town realizes they were tricked is interesting though.

It’s very easy to reason about when someone says “I alone can fix this.” You have a single person to look at and listen to. Not a faceless sprawling beauracracy and slow wheels of legislative progress…

Sounds exactly like a quantum state itself! It is frustrating to try to unpick the hype and filter the “will never work” from the “eureka!”

The US wasn’t an empire until at least around 1900 and maybe not truly until 1945. Sounds like we have another century left!

A well made buggy whip was probably beautiful too. But if economic forces incentivize something else, the skill goes away
