I wrote a nastygram to the Smithsonian after they replaced all the canvas on the original wright flier.

Maybe Douglass would have approved. That makes me feel slightly better

Not bad for a cat, nice work. Clearly you don't work in the cybernetics division.

I'm fairly sure the engine will stay on with both bolts removed. I suspect they are retaining bolts and take very little strain

Good on them for trying. I wouldn't even try. As a radio guy this goes straight into the breaks physics bin, but if they make it work, fantastic

I don't have binocular vision. I lived aboard a sailboat for a few years. I'm quite active with rock climbing etc and I honestly don't think I would be able to do anything better if I had binocular vision...

Just a thought

This is right up my alley. Shame I'll never get to try it after experiencing the back button hijacking. Fail.

I was flying into Atlanta international when thousands of planes were relocating from Florida to avoid a hurricane (ie so planes parked on the ground don't get damaged).

I believe at the time it was the busiest day for an airport in history.

That's when it finally made sense to me why they talk that way. Sometimes they need to

My guess is that we will get final orbits and clocks to do PPP more quickly.

Today it's about a week.

I'm guessing we will get this at the speed we currently get rapid.

All guesswork... As a gnss guy who doesn't have knowledge of this project

Conflicts of interests aren't a problem. As long as they are disclosed and boards deal with them.

It's been one of the most frustrating things about this openai thing, learning how many people automatically think conflict of interest = bad.
