What I found strange, climb, level out, climb, level out, climb, level out, rapid descent, then recovery, profile climb.
At the first identification of levelling out, the crew should cut off all automatic control and take manual actions to rectify the flight path. You first action should never be "Oh, the autopilot is going something funny, how can we fix it?"
You should see the moderators on/r/TwoXChromosomes - they ban folks for even subscribing to certain subreddits. Even though its against the reddit rules for moderator behaviour.
You mean like the 'nazi salute' that everyone knows was actually an American thing?
It was called the Bellamy salute - which was adopted by the nazi's for being so effective. Of course, after this, the American version became that you put your hand over your heart.
When are these dickheads going to realise that the more they dilute the market into more and more service providers, the fewer subscribers everyone will have.
I'm sure they'd love a market where you pay $19.95/mo each to Disney, Netflix, Amazon, YouTube Red, etc etc etc.
The reality is, people might pick one or two - and that's it. Then you get people like me that won't buy any - just because the companies keep dividing up their content and I don't want to pay for each small slice.
The most experienced pilot I've flown with never took his left hand off the control yoke.
That's the exact work reduction autopilots are designed to enable. Your so called "most experienced pilot" (*cough* MORON) had just defeated the exact purpose of autopilots. This guy might as well fly with the autopilot off.
You are the kind of guy I do not want to be my captain or co-pilot.
I've got a CPL - and in all my training - one thing that always stood out is that I never fully trusted the autopilot.
There's a great video that was done in 1997 called "Children of the Magenta" that seems to ring true with everything I hear about Telsa issues like this.
Not only do we make sure there is always one pilot monitoring (the Pilot Flying - or PF), if the pilot not flying (PNF) needs to exit the cockpit, a hostie with basic training will replace the PNF in the cockpit. This ensures there are always two people at the controls.
When the PNF returns, they replace the hostie.
We also have a rule that if the PF doesn't react to verbal or aural cues after 3 tries - the PNF takes over the aircraft. This includes both actual pilots, or the hostie with basic training.
Trying to compare a car to an aircraft is a bad idea - we have procedures for all of this stuff - and most procedures exist because people have died.
"We asked this company to help us out and they told us that they weren't interested so I guess now we're just going to publicly call them out as a bunch of shitbags so that next time I bet they'll bend over backwards to do what we ask."
Ah, the old "aggressive asshole panhandler" routine. Works every time.
Even worse - right in the summary: "doesn't take long as most vendor firmware updaters all do the same kind of thing; there are only so many ways to send a few kb of data to USB devices."
So nobody is able to capture the USB traffic of the same thing happening in Windows and reimplement? There's numerous tools that will save the bitstream and allow you to analyse it later. I've done similar for two way radio programming / query information - I can't see this being much different...
To put this in the typical and slightly inaccurate slashdot car analogy:
You were driving down a bit of road 40 years ago - the speed limit was 55mph. Today, that same bit of road has a speed limit of 35mph. As such, we're going to charge you for driving at 55mph 40 years ago - because that isn't the present speed limit.
KDE seems to have gotten the message. Don't indulge iconoclasts and convolute the basic functionality of a traditional desktop. There was never anything actually wrong with the design of traditional desktops except when they fail to fully exploit the capabilities of hardware. Today that problem is apparent when dealing with scaling on high resolution displays. Users just want that issue solved; scale, do it without glitches and disruptions and leave the rest alone.
In a nutshell, this. I get flamed every time I call Gnome for being the shitty system it is. I'm typing this on Fedora 27 Beta using KDE with 3 x 1920x1080 screens - and it just works. It doesn't take 1/4 of a window with big ass thumb/touchscreen friendly bars. It stays out of my way and lets me get the rest of the stuff I want to do done.
If KDE got the manpower behind it that gets wasted with Gnome, it wouldn't just be superior, it'd be fantastic.
But did you notice that most listings there are "its not against the rules - but we don't like it anyway".
Yes, there have been some screwups, bugs and other problems that they seem to have fixed - but show me one CA that hasn't had a number of issues in their history...
a mobile transmitter... sounds like ge's got himself a CB radio with sidebands (illegal in the UK) which can hit the FM spectrum allocated to radio stations
What CB radios do you guys have that'll do 230Khz wide signals in 88-108MHz? Certainly can't get this with a 27MHz CB....
The thing everyone jumped on WoSign for was doing a customer a favour. Some significant Australian customer wasn't ready for SHA1 certificates being phased out and asked if WoSign could help them out. WoSign issued back-dated SHA1 certificates for the customer.
Yep - and I'm pretty sure we know who that customer was. There are still major institutions still using SHA1 certs internally - and if they get moved to newer ones by the end of the year then I'd be shocked. The reality is, this stinks of a scapegoat - the industry in question would face *MASSIVE* disruption for the everyday Australian because of the relatively quick move to higher level certs. A lot of these are still contained within embedded devices that cannot upgrade so easily.
Instead, let's execute the CA for political reasons. Don't pretend its anything else.

There's a great video that's over 20 years old that is still as relevant today as it was then.

Flight aerodynamics hasn't changed in that time - but how we train / respond in both training and procedures have.
Agreed. I threw in my online alias into it, $260/yr for the first year. Tried with another registrar, $19.95/yr....
Seems like Google is playing the game.

Aircraft, cars, the lessons are the same.
Not only do we make sure there is always one pilot monitoring (the Pilot Flying - or PF), if the pilot not flying (PNF) needs to exit the cockpit, a hostie with basic training will replace the PNF in the cockpit. This ensures there are always two people at the controls.

Up next, eBay gets charged for facilitating the sale of stolen goods...
I had no idea what a friggin 'notch' was and had to go search for it, thinking I had missed out on some significant innovation.
Thank got it was in the comments.... I had no frigging idea what the hell a 'notch' is - the TFS offered zero clues.
What's worse, none of the linked articles took the time to really explain what the hell a notch was.
G. Fucking. G.

Rewriting history was always the norm. Problem is, now we're trying to re-write the present.
Repeat the same crap often enough, and people will think its true.

Except this article is talking about Amazon in the UK, not the USA. Good job RTFAing...
RTFA? Are you new here?

I'm more wanting to know where I can get a 'slimline' version of Windows 10. I don't want 99% of the bullshit included that I can't remove...
Stuff like:
* Onenote
* Paint 3D
* The new VR shit
Where's the 'minimal install'?
I /really/ like Perl. It was the first scripting language I ever learned.
I still use perl on a daily basis. From web interfaces to batch data processing to realtime hardware data collection (using good old RS485 busses).
The RS485 control part even has multi-threading, as well as converting https Server Side Events to RS485 data streams.
One of the best programs I ever wrote :)
I for one look forward to Australia's War on Mathematics.
We took on the emus once... It didn't go well....

illegal ones such as the NATO 2000 sidebander that are made outside the 27/81 spec.
I've still never seen any of these anywhere near capable of a 230Khz wide signal?
a mobile transmitter... sounds like ge's got himself a CB radio with sidebands (illegal in the UK) which can hit the FM spectrum allocated to radio stations
What CB radios do you guys have that'll do 230Khz wide signals in 88-108MHz? Certainly can't get this with a 27MHz CB....

Sure... except that systemd has been around for seven years. It's not maturing because it's always expanding.
They even made a game about systemd:
