Wow! What a load of twisted tripe. Take comments out of context, assign your own meaning to them, and decide they're racists. I'll give you one guess what conservatives care less and less about what leftists scream as time goes on.
The opposite should happen. The government is only able to grant the monopolies through their power of eminent domain. To me, that is the doctrine that says the public's need is so overwhelming that we're going to use the force of government to seize someone's property.
Well, if it is so important to the common good that the use of force is justified, then the resource should not leave the public's control. Just like the roads, the communication and power infrastructure should be taken over by the government. ISPs and power generation should remain private businesses. The government should create rules to control how the resources are accessed and used, just like the roads. It should have always been this way.
Ever notice how the worst parts of our system are the result of poor decisions early on?
Dude, its a friggin' concrete pipe with a laser bouncing between a few mirrors. This is some of the cheapest science the modern era has to offer, and for the effort we get to push the envelope of how sensitive we can make instruments.
and before to blow that off, consider that the latest iteration of the industrial revolution that has driven quality in consumer level products has been driven by accurate measurements. The typical car of the 70's came off the line with the equivalent of 50,000 miles of wear on the engine. They had to be able to fit pistons from multiple manufacturing lines into the same cylinders. The only way to do that productively would be to leave space for clearance. Space that looks exactly the same as normal wear. With better measuring tools and techniques, those tolerance can be closed up, leading to a long list of benefits.
They didn't use 8 scopes for 8 months. They spent 8 months waiting for all of them to have clear weather. If we had a decent moon base, it would have scope that never had to wait for clear weather, and could be combined with the ones on Earth to create "the largest telescope in the solar system".
And you are just confused. The countries you call socialist are capitalistic with exhorbitant taxes (>60% on middle class) and generous welfare programs. Note that these countries have been moving more capitalistic as their economies have declined, and have started to roll back some of their welfare programs.
In its current form, economies are like farms. Capitalism causes crops to grow, and socialism is host of locus moving in for the harvest.
Headwind vs tailwind is another major factor. Slowing down in a headwind means that your loitering even longer trying to "punch through" it. Slowing down in a 200mph tailwind means that you have longer for the jet stream to do 1/3rd of the work for you.
It only saves fuel if the airframe was designed to be efficient at the slower speed.
An extreme case to illustrate the point is that an airplane can slow down enough to fly BACKWARDS. Slow aircraft combined with a strong headwind. I've seen it.
My 601XL seems to have a drag bucket between 50 and 60 mph. If I knew what caused it, I'd try to fix it, but my climb rate increases on BOTH sides of that bucket.
No. Just no. An airliner isn't a bus. It requires a large measure of fuel just to keep it airborne. If you slow down, you could be burning fuel just a linger.
It is VERY complicated. For the airframe:
- If you have a headwind, flying faster increases fuel economy. - If you have a tailwind, peak economy will be at you best glide speed. - The airframe is designed to me as close as optimum at cruise speed (those little winglets you see on planes now actually detract slightly from efficiency at off cruise speeds)
The engines are very carefully optimized to be most efficient at the airframe's cruise speed.
Now, you have to combine all that together in a non-linear fashion and tweak it for that particular trip's CG, weight, assigned altitude, etc.
The airlines have people dedicated to optimizing routes, altitudes, and cruise speeds.
When I started in this industry, every group had a secretary to assist in office functions. Haven't seen one in years.
I do QA Automation. My job is to implement solutions to eliminate "testers". Yet, I see no dip in demand for QA engineers. We're just expected to do more.
Do not ever conflate charity/generosity with government confiscation and redistribution. The confiscation is backed by force, and the benefits of the redistribution always goes to the politician pushing for it. There is not force in charity, that the recipient's gratitude goes to the one who is making the sacrifice.
2. Horrible mismanagement by Maduro and previously by Chavez in his later years.
That is the crux of the problem right there, and is the simple point that the socialist want to ignore. Socialism is the concentration of financial power into the hands of individuals that don't have the expertise to deal with it. Does anyone truly want to turn our purchasing decisions over to Congress? If you do, have you actually listened to those morons talk?
I'm being unfair. They're not all idiots up there, but the ones that are intelligent are still not geniuses. Which is what is required to be an expert on farming, mining, energy production, health care, iron smelting, car production, home construction, bake goods retailing, etc, etc, etc. Socialism and everything like it fails, will always fail, because it requires a genius as a central (but, usually unspoken) tenant for success.
Fails to realize that capitalism in man's natural state.
Here. I'll write it so you can understand. Cave man have two stone ax. Other cave man have antelope. First cave man hungry. Want antelope. Second cave man won't give antelope to first cave man. First cave man offers a stone ax for part of antelope. Second cave man agrees. Both eat. Both now have stone ax.
You know what we call that, bright eyes? Capitalism.
Getting the weirdos out of mainstream channels and into their own private echo-chambers means vulnerable people (teens, mentally challenged and unstable people, etc) aren't exposed to their weirdness and are far less likely to join them.
The "vulnerable" will eventually get exposed anyway, because the weirdos are constantly on the hunt for new converts/victims. If they are in an open forum, like this one, then for every "Shout down the opposition in the name of free speech" comment, their will be a "You don't promote free speech by shutting down speech!" response.
Tell me again how long humans have been using antibiotics? And yet we have "drug resistant strains", even though we have very intelligent people targeting them directly.
And yet nearly every series written for the last 20 years has been written FOR WOMEN. Women do most of the household shopping, and shows are written to target and retain them. How many prime-time shows can you name that has a strong, "John Wayne" arch-type? How many have a waffling, passive-aggressive "Raymond" arch-type, with a smart, motherly type to take care of him?
You stop discrimination by first admitting where it exists and addressing it.
Which is exactly what the GP did. Democrats couldn't bring themselves to call out Ilhar Omar for her antisemitism. All of the Democrat Presidential candidates showed up to pay homage to Al Sharpton whose racism is legendary. The Democrats need to call out the racists among their ranks and deal with them like the Republicans took care of Steve King. Until you do that, just shut up already.
You surely don't stop discrimination by making it your theme song. Make America Great Again is a less blatant way of saying, "As long as I've got mine, to hell with you." It's an appeal to the lowest parts of human nature.
Now your just wandering off into the twisted world of Democrat talking points. It wasn't "MAGAFWP" (MAGA for white people). You don't get to decide what the words I say mean.
Two sensors is not fine. Doubly so if the two are of the same type, because they are likely to fail in the same way.
What is "fine" is doing the same thing EVERY single engine pilot does when flying in the clouds. At that point, the pilot is in the same condition as the computer: no outside reference and relying totally on what the instruments say. The pilot is trained to continuously crosscheck the instruments to verify that they all make sense and to cover up an instrument that is giving anomalous readings. For instance, if I'm at high engine RPM, with medium airspeed, a positive reading on the VSI, but the altitude reading is decreasing, I'm going to surmise that my altimeter is busted and cover it with a post-it note (so it doesn't confuse me anymore). I'll use the GPS reading for altitude, then contact center to let them know I'm having problems and will probably be busting my altitude assignment at some point (they'll keep other planes even further away from me in that case.)
The thing is, this is turns a failing instrument into little more than the irritation of having to get an instrument fixed. AND THIS IS STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE!! Why the hell is an engineer with a major airliner manufacturer NOT AWARE.

If you had 6bn suns rammed in, yours would be irritated, too.
Next, we need a moon base with a 10m scope. Then, we can can get much better pictures without so much worry about the weather.

It was one guy, that had previously worked for Democrats. In contrast, California legalized the exact same thing he was doing.
