The A320 cockpit has nothing looking like a cigarette lighter port. They use very typical electrical outlets. The AC output on the aircraft is 400 Hz at 110/115V which then is stepped down for DC circuits through a transformer-rectifier to 28V. To my understanding he'd be plugging the device into a typical electrical socket with AC power unless the aircraft was refitted with a different plug like a USB jack.
These pilots are almost all issued a company ipad which they'll mount to the window or just below the window using a mount that can handle vibration well.
Like this one in what looks like an Embraer aircraft with their moped style control column.
OR they use this and have it mounted to that surface below the window.
I think it's just fucking crazy almost all the major airlines and all the regional operators are using these devices in the flight deck. They even use them in conjunction with an electronic flight bag device that's already built in. There are some operators that see the inherent danger of a lithium battery fire in the flight deck but due to the very low incident rate it seems to be mostly ok.
Maybe this guy used an AC adapter that wasn't tested by the airline or airbus and couldn't handle any 400 Hz. I'd still expect the adapter to blow first though.
Every jetliner like the A320 have a circuit breaker system. The A320 has an overhead panel and panels behind both the captain and the f/o. The latest models of aircraft however have done away with the physical CB panel system and are now using electronic CBs that are controlled through an interface.
More like 9/11 made terrorism completely unacceptable to the plenty of Irish-Americans with a clear view of Manhattan. I'm sure the IRA noticed that money drying up very quickly.
Theodore Kaczynski covers over socialization quite a bit in his crazy manifesto. I dislike giving that terrorist fuck any attention but he's not wrong on this subject.
It's not obviously practical for everyone, but I'm sure the same health benefits would be found from routine recreational cycling. My largest issue was just getting bored on my bike ride, but using an app like Strava or playing a game like Ingress/Pokemon Go definitely changed things. The main thing is to not get discouraged when you first start - but after a week or so of regular cycling the barrier to just getting out there and doing it quickly gets considerably lower.
I suspect it's nicotine withdrawal that exacerbates the symptoms of schizophrenia, not nicotine use reducing the symptoms. They're just maintaining their addiction.
"2. We have seen vastly higher CO2 levels in planetary history and right now we are seeing what is actually all time lows. We should expect CO2 increases and, in fact, hope for them as going much below 300 ppm would see the beginning of a massive plant die off - there's a reason commercial greenhouses pump CO2 into their facilities."
We want the best and brightest to work as frightened wage slaves who won't dare ask for more money or argue with the boss. Having these people in companies that compete against their businesses is obviously a problem for them, it's sort of implying that immigrants should be relegated to the lower classes of any "civic society", possibly the middle class at best.
As ridiculous as it is, I don't think anyone really cares. People have largely made their decisions long ago and there's little opinion to sway. There was a study pretty much demonstrating this just recently.
However, I'm just a Canadian eating my popcorn, watching the shit show ensue.
> powering from the outside with the magnetic field of earth
nah quite certain it's just the presence of the electric field from the magnetron source screwing up all their readings. Once you start messing around with >100W magnetron sources the presence of electric fields will show a voltage reading on just about any voltmeter or any sort of voltage measurement device. You need to spend considerable effort to shield all these potential false signal sources.
If you want a simple example, by pass the interlock on a microwave oven and turn it on while you have someone observe a multimeter set to DC volts from across the room. Quite certain they'll get a non-zero reading, even with no electrical leads connected. Just imagine trying to do this while splitting hairs over milli or micro newtons of thrust with an asymmetric microwave oven.
Years ago while working on my bachelor's degree I was messing around with wireless power transmission experiments with a bunch of employed engineers who had not a fucking clue what they were doing. We wasted countless hours taking measurements of supposed RF-to-DC conversion while all we were observing was the electric field strength increasing around us. It took me on my own reverting to the basics of the entire subject and repeating experiment work from William C. Brown's papers to demonstrate to them how to make it actually work right. The whole experience was extremely frustrating while immensely eye opening - a lot of additional letters after a person's name means almost nothing to me now.
Trying to do real science with a bunch of cargo cult true believers is a fool's errand.
Hey if it improved my application for a work permit I'd have no problem sharing my professional account profiles, like my LinkedIn account. If I had a personal website that I maintained as my CV and hobbies I'd totally provide that - particularly in the case if I had a very common name (I personally don't) and needed to distinguish myself from the bajillion other Mohammed/Muhammed/Mohamed. I'd especially do it if I knew it would expedite the application process. Nothing to hide, etc etc

There i'd be more concerned they didn't enable wireless isolation on their router.

of course they wouldn't...
The lack of accuracy was due to inaccurate calculation of time since system boot.

My sincerest apologies for the previous text only link.
Science reporting sucks balls these days - how about a link to the actual patent.

I doubt you'd be having this conversation if it wasn't for Al Gore.
So, no one in the government right now.

We have seen vastly higher?
When? Some time before 400,000 years ago?
Ah yes the sane choice - I'd rather not have my wife bitching at me either.
Wireless links, remote users when you have limited upload bandwidth and mobile streaming if you don't want to rape your data plan.
Yeah I fucking hate big coastal cities too. Let em learn to swim.

You play with political fire you're going to get burned. That applies to Luckey and anyone condemning him from the soap box of their corporation.
You'd almost think all the heavy regulations on cab services and politics behind public transit was a ploy by the auto industry to sell more cars.

My biggest time waster are bored coworkers coming over to my desk to shoot the shit while I'm trying to work.
