“which could have opened at the altitude the plane was flying had it been fully disarmed.” 

Could it? I feel like the doors would undoubtedly rip themselves open every flight if they weren’t held shut by the interior pressure.

HUD confirmed.

Dragging the rigs around aren’t quite as easy as it was back then,

It’s not proprietary. It’s Zigbee Lightlink. Your Doorbell etc are probably Zigbee Home Automation. They didn’t pick a “proprietary” interface, they’re just using the interface most relevant to lights. Zigbee 3.0 though will combine the two and Philips supports Zigbee 3.0 so everything should work together.

I…

No, the metaphor was teaching a man in the middle of the desert to fish. He literally wrote that in the original post. It’s a valid criticism that sometimes just giving someone fish is more beneficial than the skill since the skill might not be useful to them. Teach a man to fish and he might not have a fishing…

Until someone becomes the Gun Takers.

I’m no fan of conservative Christians, but to be fair, that’s not exactly what many of them say. [...] They believe that it’s not the job of government to do what individuals can do much more efficiently.

You pitch UBI as a “Tax credit” and conservatives gobble it up. “Everybody gets a $5,000 tax credit every year.”

It’ll cause inflation but the inflation will be slower than the quality of life improvements. If the labor costs of a cheese burger are $0.10. You can double a burger flipper’s wages and raise the cost of a cheese burger from $0.99 to $1.09. The cost to the consumer inflated by 10% but the quality of life of the…

No it’s a perfect metaphor. A lot of targeted aid programs come into a community and try to solve a problem “You guys don’t know how to fish!” that isn’t relevant to the people who live in that community. There is a lot of philanthropy of “teaching a man to fish in the desert”. An NGO shows up and says “Hey it…

That video didn’t appear to clarify anything for me at all.


“Rachel Doleza could just wash off her tan and straighten her hair.”
That’s a terrible argument since a trans woman could just cut her hair and not put on makeup and appear to be a man before surgery. Also in this article’s instance I believe these injected…

I’ve climbed Mt Rainier (which people often train on for Everest) and a few other mountains. Climbing Mt Rainier might be a “novelty” that anyone can do with minimal training but I can’t do Everest. I’ve climbed at 15,000 feet before too. I know I would quit. It’s *weeks* of agonizing, boring labor and discomfort. At…

Yeah, China will take away any battery if it doesn’t have a watt-hour label on it. Which is absurd since they were pulling batteries that were so small they would be a world changing scientific miracle if they were > 95wh.

Costa Rica always takes everything from me that might possibly be poky. They took a 1mm hex…

The problem Aimless Zealot is highlighting is that a bad organization can have good goals. Communism aimed to end poverty, but mostly was just totalitarian crimes against humanity. Libertarianism aims to free people from government oppression, but mostly pretty much just strips away all of your power and gives it to…

That’s not true at all. Someone might be all-in for a revolution, and then when it starts killing political prisoners and dissidents find the revolution not what they hoped to be. Conversely someone (especially someone living in Paris) might not have an entirely accurate understanding of what a movement is about (a…

The problem you propose isn’t a problem in the PC world... at all. So I don’t think we need to operate on hypothetical. Just look at the PC world. Every game has targeted a wider performance envelope than Xbox One -> Xbox One X with their Min -> HQ settings. It’s an open and shut case, I’m not sure what more…

New Surface Pro is just “Surface Pro” not Surface Pro 5. New macbooks are just “MacBook”. I think it’s safe to say that we won’t see any numbers in the future. We’ll probably just see Xbox (2017).

Developers develop for a “Minimum PC Specification” and a “Recommended PC specification” and an enthusiast 4k, “Max HQ” setting. If there is a PC port, they already have done what little extra work is required. Most likely they’ll target the MaxHQ and then turn down/off features until they hit 30fps.

This is an impressive article, but its existence doesn’t seem essential.
