Someday the Chinese John Glenn will say, “I guess the question I'm asked the most often is: 'When you were sitting in that capsule listening to the count-down, how did you feel?' Well, the answer to that one is easy. I felt exactly how you would feel if you were getting ready to launch and knew you were sitting on top of two million new and re-conditioned parts -- all built by the lowest bidder on a Chinese government contract out-sourced via Alibaba.”
Taxes on individuals don't make any sense anyway. The tax can come from three places: employers (in form of higher wages), shareholders, or customers. So you can get the same result by directly taxing... The thing with taxes is the other guy should pay.
That could be it. The whole idea of electric planes seems silly, hauling along that load of batteries with much lower energy density than fuel.....
It makes a lot of sense for a self-launching sailplane. The battery only needs enough energy to get the sailplane up to a sufficient altitude where it can catch thermals and remain aloft. The battery may weigh more than a small fuel supply, but you save weight on the electric motor vs. a more complex gasoline engine. It takes training, experience and ideal weather conditions to be able to operate a sailplane over long distances. So it's definitely not as simple to operate as a "flying car".
"Schwiegermutter" is mother in law. "automatischer Rücksitzfahrer"- would be a literal translation for automatic backseat driver. But I don't think it has the same colequal meaning as it does in english. "Besserwisser" (know-it-all) or something similar comes to mind as a better translation for "back seat driver".
Wasn't it possible with some 386 SX chips to drill a tiny hole in the CPU, and make it into a DX? Or was that an urban myth, like drilling a headphone jack into your new iPhone?
So they can put the emacs tutorial up on YouTube. You just have to figure out how to get YouTube to work in Emacs first. For that there's another video.
Yeah. Apple software NEVER had bugs when Steve Jobs was alive. iOS never had point releases before Tim took over.....They have teams for that. Just because a team isn't perfect, that doesn't mean they're worthless...
I think the original poster was talking about a culture that Steve Jobs fostered while he was at Apple. No body expects the CEO to be running quality, but he does set the priorities and has a very large influence on the culture (imho more often for the worse than better).
It will be out of a cannon and the parachute he gets isn't golden but mead of lead.
A Golden Parachute has a bit of Evel Knievel vibe. I'd go for that if he were wearing a white jump suit and a red, white, and blue cape and motorcycle helmet.
...Sutter's solution was to permanently twist the wing from root to wingtip....
That's called a geometric twist and is used in swept-wing aircraft to prevent stalling at the wing tip before the root. The other solution is called aerodynamic twist; using different airfoils between the root and tip, where the tip airfoil has a higher stalling AOA. But to use it to counteract flutter is probably new and Sutter deserves credit for his insight.
Just curious, did anyone here fly the 747 and could share some stories?
One of my first childhood memories was seeing the cockpit on a 747 in the mid 70's. I was too young to know it was a 747, but I remember going up a spiral staircase, and only the 747 had one. Seeing the cockpit at that early age motivated me to pursue a career in engineering and aviation. Too bad cockpit tours are mostly banned nowadays.
Why? just create a "star-trek-like" open source universe. We'll call it "Cosmos Odyssey", featuring the Starship U.S.S. Constitution. The Captain "Richard Fabius Nelson" and his science officer "Spork" from the planet "Titan" lead a multi-species crew on a six year mission to explore strange new planets, seek out new civilizations, and to bravely go where no species has gone before.
It might have cost that guy 1.5 million to build, but that doesn't make it worth 1.5 million. Not very many Star Trek fans have 1.5 million in spare change. And most people who do have 1.5 million laying around to spend on a theater, probably wouldn't want it. They'd rather spend their money personalizing their own.
Hitler was never elected to his position of chancellor. He was appointed.
Unlike the U.S., Germany has a parliamentary system. Mrs. Merkel was appointed by the parliament because she led the largest faction. Same thing in 1933.
A lot of manned-space advocates don't seem to understand that it's far better to send an expendable unmanned probe or robot now than it is to wait around decades or even centuries until we can send a manned mission. If we solely relied on manned space flight, we would never have had a close up look at the outer planets, at least within our life times.
For the past 70 years, one of the main advantages the US has had has been our pilots...better planes (Japan at the beginning, Germany at the end - jets vs props.) After World War II, the Russian MIGS were better planes, at least until the end of the cold war....
Japan had some of the best trained pilots at the beginning of the second world war. The problem was Japan's pilot training was too elite for its own good, flunking out over 90% of students. This cost them once their experienced cadre started suffering losses in combat and they had to replace them with hastily-trained recruits. The Japanese Zero was more maneuverable than the American Wildcat, but it could not take a lot of damage. The Zero might have had an advantage getting into a position to shoot, but the Wildcat had the advantage in being able to survive getting hit. On early jets, an experienced pilot in an Me-262 was unbeatable by any piston-engined fighter once he got up to speed and altitude. Germany had the same problem as Japan in that they started the war with very good pilots, but were unable to replace aircrew losses. The MiG-15 when flown by an experienced Russian pilot was an equal match for any Air Force pilot in an F-86. Most MiGs were being flown by poorly-trained Chinese or North Korean pilots.
PS - we don't know how much information the AI had about its opponent in the simulator. Did the AI know its opponents Airspeed, AOA, throttle settings, etc? That would give it an unfair advantage that it wouldn't have in a real-world engagement.
Since the first world war, most air to air kills were scored against opponents that did not see their attacker. The preferred tactic was to come out of the sun or attack from a blind spot. The Red Baron stated, "I get real close, pull the trigger, and he blows up", or something to that effect. An AI- piloted airplane would have this same limitation, as it would only be aware of what its sensors tell it. If you jam its on board sensors and data-link capability, all that AI won't be worth anything. What this has to do with the F-35, I don't know? Unless it's just to flame an airplane that a lot of arm-chair experts don't like. There are lots of missions for a manned airplane, and "dogfighting" (or BFM) is a tactic and not not a mission.

and the bullet stopped at the signature of Steve Wozniak on the inside of the case.
Is this for a new unit or re-conditioned ?

Maybe now it runs on a 386SX....

patent their way out of a paper bag. Oh wait, that's patented too.
Sure, bags are nothing new, but this one is made of paper....
and it's made from the pulp from an apple tree!!!
...When Emacs finishes loading... probably need to add more RAM in order to really test Emacs, I only have 8 GB.
You must be running EGACS (Eight Gigabytes And Continuously Swapping), not EMACS.

Sounds more like she got run over by a truck.
...or a landing Raptor?
... or she got dropped by a Raptor.

Correction...they want to make everyone who's not independently wealthy work. UBI already exists for those who can afford not to.
What a retard. How do these people even get into government?
they run for office and are elected by the voters.
