It's my understanding that 5G will also be used in the 600mhz spectrum at least by T-Mobile so will have the longer range with improved bandwidth and latency of 5G.

Would it be possible to have a single switch that disables all automatic systems and puts the plane in complete manual control as much as possible? Can these planes even operate in a complete manual mode?

SSDs do have a finite lifespan due to limited number of writes they can do before cells can't be rewritten.

Of course other countries with excellent public transit also have plenty of scenic country roads. It's not like we have to pick between the two. (I don't think you were claiming we do, I just wanted to highlight that argument.)

Does anybody know how many of these could we expect to fit in a Macbook Pro? My understanding is the power consumption has been a limiting factor.

We're just speculating how much data would have been lost but one option would be to tell the owner of the data "hey you commented on pull request foo with comment 'baz' but we were unable to save it. Please comment again if necessary."

It's not a great UX but neither is 24 hours of downtime.

I wish I could use it without a case but the thing is so damn slippery without one. Slides out of my pocket or around when sitting on the couch and it's on a slight incline.

I've wondered the same thing. It seems like we have the worst of both systems.

Sorry, but you're not helping. There is not a lack of people, media, and doctors who repeat the calories in calories out mantra. People have this hammered into them all the time. And it's obviously not working.

Because nobody agrees what to cut.

Democrats don't want to cut social programs like Medicaid and Medicare. I mean, everybody needs health care so those costs are not avoidable. Unfortunately, health care costs too much because the industry overcharges.

So what does that leave us with? Well mostly military, and the Republicans (and probably many Democrats) only want to increase it. It's over $700B a year now.

If I could wave a magic wand I would:

1) Tweak social security witholding rates to ensure continued solvency. Probably the easiest thing to do.

2) Bring health care costs (ie what providers charge) down to developed world standards.

3) Either raise taxes enough and/or lower defense spending enough to balance the deficit.

It seems simple to me. But it means some people in healthcare and the defense contractors will make less. They would fight it so that's why everything stays the same.

I don't have much hope. Hangouts is still rarely a flawless experience whether due to software or connection issues.

Source?

Practically any interactive shell. python or bash for instance. It's everywhere.

Meaning you can't retire abroad and receive your pension? How many months out of year do you have to reside in Australia?

Sorry for being off-topic but I'm still going to use this as an opportunity to vent. This is the most pointless piece of regulation. It's unfortunate non-US users are also subjected to it. What bit of good does it really do for your average user? It's complete overregulation. If users don't want cookies they can turn them off in their browser. The average user doesn't know or care and these incessant popups help nobody.

> COBRA is another scam. $1650 per month that my employer was paying ~$600 for.

COBRA is whatever the employer was paying + 2% administration fee.

It's literally not. The human body is much more complicated than that. Repeating this mantra is never going to help anybody.

The most important thing is for people to fix the kind of food they consume so their appetite (hormones) self-regulates. Were people thin in the 1960's because they were counting calories?

> So Microsoft does one good thing and that is supposed to absolve them from all previous underhand trickery? Very unlikely.

This is not the first good thing they've done.

> Microsoft has a lot more building to do.

Maybe in your eyes. They've redeemed themselves with a lot of people.

> AFAIK, butter is still worse then no butter (and more calories from whole plant foods instead).

Many would dispute this if you're alluding to it being heavy in saturated fat which there's heavy dispute over.

> Margarine may or may not be worse than butter (I think it is worse).

Doesn't seem consistent with your logic of less refined is better.

> If you want to eat for health, look into WFPB, they have a lot of science on their side.

So basically veganism. Pretty much a non-starter for most people.

One of the problems is Amazon decided to become a bazaar instead of a store. So it might be sold by Amazon, or fulfilled by Amazon, or sold by somebody else. You have to pay attention to who you're buying from and what the policies are. It's like walking into Target and there's the regular store but there's been a flea market setup inside as well.

Personally I wish they'd segregate the experience. Have one experience be the Amazon store as it used to be with consistent expectations. If you can't find the product you want it could then direct you to the bazaar.

> No clue where the top is going to be, but it feels like this one is going to be uglier than 2008.

Pretty sure an asset bubble (which we've experienced many times in the past) will not be worse than the entire financial system melting down.

You can also mail checks in (though I don't know about $10k and above).

Pretending Apple market cap is 1T and Canada's GDP is 2T is it not just saying "If you took half of all goods and services sold in Canada for 1 year you could buy Apple"?

Obviously I'm in the minority based on their success but after the latest Prime rate increase I've mostly given up on Amazon. Part of it is just the terrible UX. Compare trying to watch Prime video with going to netflix.com. The retail website is incredibly noisy. There's all the 3rd party cruft to sift through (the things not sold by Amazon) and the worry about counterfeit products. AWS UI is always cluttered and feels 10 years behind the times compared to Google cloud.

Basically Amazon has succeeded in spite of its terrible UX (IMO) but I'm personally tired of it.

> Hard working engineers who wouldn’t have jobs without Musk putting his entire net worth on the table

Pretty sure they could have found jobs elsewhere.

That's an absurd statement. Should you get compensated for throwing your trash away too?

In reality you're "compensated" by having a burger that costs $5 instead of $10.

It's really helpful to hear this perspective. Can you suggest which topics have the most real world use?

How do you prefer to persist your data?

It doesn't specifically state aviation. Is it covered under one of their certifications?

Why do you feel it's racketeering?
