we “reinvented” our metrics database engine 5 times? that’s news to me! :-)
as others have said, likely too low. tcas is pretty awesome (and yes, most military flights will use it), but it is (deliberately) muted/degraded at low altitudes (i think around 1500feet).
it’s actually really hard for private jets / charter (whether part 91 or part 135) to use dca. requirements include having an armed officer on board. as a result almost nobody flies charter into dca.
the article you linked to is more than a year old, and does acknowledge that at the time spacex was flirting with profitability. do you contend that they are not currently “profitable”? also, many (maybe most?) privste…
while it’s true that spacex is a private company, it’s widely known that they are highly profitable. they have many institutional investors, and a long line of people that would love to be on their cap table.
there are so many pointless transitions and animations that i find the experience infuriating.
generally interest rates are always annualized.
that’s what i meant. what makes this plane unique is its single jet engine. this also makes running costs lower.
also worth mentioning - the vision jet is afaik the only single jet passenger jet that is fully certified.
awesome to see the first real world example of a caps parachute deployment on the vision jet working out well. the caps parachute results in “a good day for the passengers — walk away, bad day for the insurance company…
is it a crime to hire drug addicts? what enforcement are you talking about?
so is a subscription to appletv or netflix analogous to a landlord? i’m really trying to understand your worldview.
i don’t think your point is a valid retort; when you’re paying a landlord you are receiving something of value that you want for yourself, just like when you pay for a cheeseburger.
i don’t read /every/ story posted or even heavily discussed on hn, and i doubt most people do either..
the fact that the payment has been delayed and the judgement has been appealed this long is one of the least interesting parts of the story… imo. (and yes, every story has different perspectives, and i don’t claim to…
i’m sure there’s some company that would feel confident in their math and stats to pay out x million to the defendant immediately, rather than 36m, in exchange for having the rights to the claim/pending payment assigned…
decimate is also defined as destroying 1 in 10. i agree that meta is not on the verge of collapse (although i'm not bullish on their long term prospects); but i'm sure we can both see that apple bloodied their nose…
it’s not particularly wrong. there is indeed a general correlation between birth rate and economic development.
the gp is trying to make the point that countries with higher birth rates tend to be poorer and/or more oppressive.
jet-a is a /lot/ more expensive since that article was written ;-)
uk slang for “scam”
lock up periods are still fairly common, did the sec really require 2 years at one point?
the word has literally been redefined :-/
true, but for the pro-nuclear folk who are frustrated by the “fear factor”, it’s a really important point.
why not go the other way and pay politicians well, and with that you can be really hard on all the soft corruption too. don’t we want the best people?
