Boeing and Airbus have been at this for a while. I don’t see what Airbus is claiming as new for 2020.

Popular Science even released an informative short film in 1948 about the hypothetical aircraft, which you can see looks very similar to the new Airbus design.

You mention Northrop, but failed to mention that Boeing has been playing with this concept for decades, but each time it is dropped because passengers didn’t like the mock ups, and it would be uncomfortable for people on the outer edges of the cabin.

Nice spin. They stopped the SCAN project because they were attempting to operate without an EUA. The FDA has been hesitant to give an EUA for self-collected tests because improper swabbing can result incorrect test results like false negatives.

Are you comparing solid metal bollards to intricate charging equipment posts?  

Amusingly, the charge cable lock mechanism is one of the many, many things on my buddy’s Model S that has broken multiple times. Good times when you can’t unplug your car in the morning. Tesla’s response was “just yank on it until it breaks, and we will come out and replace it”. Fine while you are under warranty, I…

Amazing how much you clearly don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

No, the use of allegedly in the press is to avoid libel suits of those not convicted of crimes. To the point now that its become unthinking reflex and they use it when it is no longer alleged, but rather convicted. He is Convicted Drug Dealer... not alleged. It’s bad writing because it’s done without thought.  In the…

I live and grew up in the Northeast, but I still found it really obnoxious how you took an unwarranted dump all over Alabama right at the beginning of the article. In fact, I skipped the entire rest of the article and came down here to tell you that lazy plays on tired stereotypes about dumb hicks from the South is a…

I’m not going to ride a bike (normal or e-bike) to work or anywhere else. Been there, done that, and have nearly been hit by jackasses several times in the process.

Is it worth dipping into now? I tried it on 360 when it first came out, and found it thoroughly unpleasant. I spent half of my short time playing as an angry man screaming at his son and trying to stop his adult daughter from having sex, and the other half as some kid who does every stupid or illegal thing anyone asks…

Wow, it’s almost like they’re a remote island nation with a population smaller than New York City.

Did I say they don’t, you embarrassingly incorrect and rude person? No, I did not.

The big difference is though, that the small town newspaper is run by a professional staff, it’s not completely open for everyone to write and publish whatever they want to. So it’s a totally apples-motorcycles comparison. Plus, small town newspaper, big city newspaper, national magazine and so on, they all have one…

It’s an extension of the principle that if one is such a failure in an area, but has authority over someone else, they use that authority to demand that someone else exceed their own capabilities.

This is, for the most part, so much worse than comparing apples to oranges, and a complete waste of anyone’s time.

I’d be really interested to get a bit more context or explanation as to why Dr. Smith’s article is getting this kind of buzz right now. Every one of those questions have been levied as critiques or cautions re evolutionary psychology since I was a psycho-bio undergrad over 25+ years ago. And this idea that folks use…

So then it’s an epistemological claim about our possible knowledge of the past? Meh. Those philosophical claims have never interested me. I take the David Hume stance (I believe it was him?) when he said that even if we philosophically conclude that we can’t know anything for sure, that position isn’t conducive to…

One person with ideological biases complains about another group who does more science than her, but is also known to be rife with ideological biases.

i still dont understand why people think this is a light switch and bam everyone back to work living a great life. settle in, summer about to be long with lots of disappointments haha
