(deliberate, not a port artifact)

Smells like AI

The IAEA said earlier this year that Iran had enriched uranium to 60%. Uranium is enriched to 3-5% for nuclear energy, and 90%+ for weapons.

Don't be silly. Iran has a nuclear weapons program. Were they actively racing to a bomb? No. (That's what the CIA was saying). Did they enrich uranium to near-weapons grade so they _could_ race to a bomb, in a matter of weeks, if they decided to do so? Absolutely.

Source? Do you seriously think the US just agreed to accept Iranian nuclear enrichment?

Is the iMac gone? I'm able to add an iMac with an M4 chip to my cart and Apple says it'll deliver tomorrow.

The point was about redundancy / geo spread / HA. It’s significantly more difficult to operate two physical sites than one. You can only be in one place at a time.

If you want true reliability, you need redundant physical locations, power, networking. That’s extremely easy to achieve on cloud providers.

Person above you did, my bad

Have you ever been to San Francisco? How many 6 lane highways do you think exist in the city of San Francisco?

I can tell you (I live here) -- there are none. SF is one of the most beautiful cities on Earth, and I'm trying my hardest to visit as many cities on earth as possible.

These things don't really seem related at all. Its a pretty generic term.

Quality of life in places like San Francisco and New York is very high, and you get the insane salaries, and your healthcare is oftentimes mostly if not completely covered by your employer (I pay literally $0 out of pocket for high quality healthcare here in San Francisco).

The person you're responding to is claiming that Americans have to pay $10,000 for a 2 bedroom apartment, thus that is why the salaries are so high.

That isn't true unless you're looking to rent a luxury apartment in a big city.

Would you prefer that militaries have less-capable software to make targeting decisions?

Can't even get STS tokens. RDS Proxy is down, SQS, Managed Kafka.

Not just you

What's unethical about selling to DoD?

Google is claiming the root cause is with some of their central IAM services, which would have a cascading effect to the rest of their services.

How do these detect tsunamis? They must be observing elevation changes, right? Is that GPS based?

Why would the BitLocker keys not be recoverable?

Can they recover this OTA considering the systems can’t even boot?

I don’t know Windows systems. I’ve read it’s causing Blue Screen of Death.

I take that to mean that systems can’t even boot. Right?

Can this be fixed over the air?

Not an airline pilot / medical examiner, but I do read r/flying quite regularly.

Your story is not uncommon. The general wisdom on DWIs is that yes it does hurt your chances of getting into airlines, but if it was (1) minor/borderline, (2) a long time ago, and (3) you have shown a pattern of recovery, it is not a career ender.

Ousted from his board chairmanship, but still works at OpenAI.

Have you actually flown a forward-slip?

Yes, I'm a Private Pilot. I've done them dozens of time. Still feels weird to be flying sideways and cross controlled.

Cross controlled stalls are not part of the PPL ACS, which is I believe what the person above you was saying.

Its not inherently wrong, but flying cross-controlled feels wrong to me. Probably because I don't do it very often, and I'm aware of the fact that it increases my stall-to-spin risk if I don't properly manage airspeed.

One of the pilots had sail-plane experience from riding a one-man ice-boat with a sail attached over an icy lake - which is where he learned the maneuver

This is correct, but I want to note that every Private Pilot (in the US at least) learns this maneuver, and it is required to be demonstrated to an examiner on the Private Pilot practical checkride.

The ideal approach to landing is what's called a "stabilized approach", in which the aircraft descends to the runway at a constant 3 degree angle and constant descent rate. If the pilot finds themselves with too much altitude too close to the runway, in other words above that glide path, they need to more aggressively descend to meet the glidepath.

One way to aggressively descend would involve just pointing the nose down, but this has the effect of increasing speed (trading altitude for airspeed). You need a way to descend more quickly without increasing speed. Generally, this is done by adding more flaps (increasing drag), but in the case of the Gimli Glider, their hydraulic systems were down, so they could not add more flaps.

A forward slip is a maneuver in which you roll the aircraft such that the top of the wing and side of the fuselage are exposed to the oncoming air (relative wind), and you use the rudder in the opposite direction to keep the aircraft flying straight (with respect to the ground track). When properly executed, the rudder and aileron cancel each other out so you keep flying straight across the ground, but the nose of your airplane is not aligned with the direction of travel, and the top and side of your airplane is exposed to the oncoming wind, significantly increasing drag, and thus descent rate.

They forward-slipped a Boeing 767 to bleed off the remaining altitude! A forward slip is a cross-controlled maneuver that feels unnerving and wrong enough in a Cessna 172, let alone a Boeing 767. And they did it with minimal hydraulic assistance as well...

I remember Elon saying that flight test 1 would attempt to do a soft touchdown in the water.

Is it even theoretically possible to have data passthrough a power bank?

I don’t know much about USB, but I’d imagine that only the power delivery pins are connected to anything, right?

Some parts of SoMa, this is true, like 4th Street+.

The area where this man died is known as Rincon Hill and is dominated by tech offices, Sweetgreens, and luxury highrise apartment buildings and is basically dead after 8pm every day of the week. I lived a block away from where this man was stabbed for a month and it felt safe and dead quiet once all the tech workers go home.
