This was at night also.

The worst landing I ever had was when I landed with no sensation of touching down on the runway (a zero feet rate of descent.) Both myself and my CFI went nuts trying to figure out if we were down, or still flying along the runway and about to bounce.

That's why working at FB or Google is like going back in time as far as monitoring UIs, etc.

Some of the clever large companies took advantage of "site-wide support licenses." For example, Netflix paid MySQL AB $40,000/year for MySQL site support so they didn't have to hire any MySQL DBAs. Just keep filing support tickets. :)

Finding an accountant to do both US and Canada taxes is both difficult and expensive (over $2000/year), so they want to renounce ASAP.

Also there's huge legal jeopardy for undeclared foreign retirement accounts.

No. The NTSB investigates significant accidents (either commercial operations or passengers involved.)

There's an average of 400 GA accidents per year, so about one a day.

If two CFIs climb into a Piper and crash, it probably won't be investigated. Add a passenger, then the NTSB gets interested.

The significance of the recent mathematical advances, especially topology, is that somebody will be born and combine them into a major advance later.

The article is a bit misleading to laypersons in that pure math (topology and countability) and computer science have almost no overlap in the short term.

Pure mathematicians don't use computers or even think of them in their work, for the most part. It's up to applied mathematicans to read their proofs and do something concrete later, if applicable.

- got Royal Bank Canada while I was there to star out account numbers on ATM receipts. Had to find a competitor's receipt first (CIBC) and show a senior manager to "prove" there was an issue.

- shortly after leaving Netscape found email parsing bug and submitted that to a an ex-coworker who channeled it to the right developer.

Stay tuned for some more in process.

It can still be done today in most US states.

Also, note that even the self-represented can take on a government and win. See Jim Pattison's (Canadian billionaire) tax hearings vs. the Crown (Canada), which he won after a decade of litigation. Multiple prosecutors and judges retired during that time period.

Besides developing further tax filing methods for his empire, you can bet he wasn't sued again by the government - they hate taking a loss. (The US SEC infamously tries to undermine defendants today by going after their ability to pay lawyers before trials.)

Ontario is the "California" engine province of Canada, similar in geographic size and sophistication. It subsidizes the rest of Canada (the "have-nots"), but it can afford to do so.

To give you an idea of how sophisticated Ontario is, most Hollywood comedians and a large percentage of writers are originally from the Toronto, ON area because of their writing and self-production abilities.

Ontario universities have a direct brain-drain pipeline to SV, but this will help them return later in their careers.

But they don't need to hire in NYC, and companies look at other regulations when deciding head count.

For example, you'll see a lot of startups freeze hiring at employee #49, since in the US (and other countries), there's a ton of HR requirements that kick in, including submitting IRS documents on magnetic tape.

One of Netscape's early advantages was that since they knew they would hire thousands of people, they skipped over all of the entry-level HR systems and started with enterprise-level systems. It was controversial at the time, but turned out to be the correct decision (the first exec was from SGI, so knew what growth looked like.)

Every airplane prototype goes through exactly that.

Virtually none. It's widely recognized that airine mfg. technology is a rapidly moving target, and the FAA is not in the airline mfg. business.

The FAA is in the business of collecting and reviewing certification data, which is why the fake MCAS paperwork is a really big deal.

NASA operates the X-planes R/D program, not the FAA.

Looks like he has ADHD. Maybe somebody with more time can go through his blog post line-by-line and figure out what's going on.

Most of my Coderpad stuff compiles and runs the first time, so I don't use his incremental test method, or see a need for it. Maybe he learned programming on heavy-weight IDEs and got trapped mentally in those?

dang, I've noticed that you come out on the wrong side of just about every major issue. Do your homework - this is not Communist Russia, where HN wouldn't even be allowed to exist.

So the CCP was not only active in continuing international flights while domestic flights were halted, but the CCP was actively suppressing patient counts and the sequence itself.

Luckily it was parked under a carport area, so destroyed the carport roof and adjacent laundry building, and not the residential building (just singed.)

It took about a year to deak with the insurance adjuster and rebuild.

But you can take a look at the smem command:

smem -s swap -r

The latter is a low-cast static set of table(s) that water can wash metal flakes with no moving parts, and is popular for its low cost or use in areas with no mechanicl parts supply. So gravity is used to separate materials, similar to how river bends make alluvial gold deposits. Early ones were made of wood, but steel would also work.

You can see YT videos of a similar design in the defunct Cornwall tin mine.

(In ancient/olden times, the main industrial metal was bronze, alloyed from copper and tin. Tin is very rare since it has an odd atomic number, with the historical mines being in Afghanistan and Cornwall. Before the Iron Age, Cornwall could have been the "El Dorado" of its time. Iron/steel is found everywhere on earth except Japan, so steel democratized industry across Europe and Asia, but Japan had to start WW2 for it.)

(Most gold mining is collecting flakes, not nuggets. 1 gram per ton is usually considered commercially viable, and more makes it dramatically moreso.)

So there's no point in worrying about it.

Trump was able to bring the CCP to heel, it will take either him or DeSantis to continue that in the next administration.

The arms race in the Indo-Pacific region was caused by Obama failing to honor the US defense treaty with the Philippines. Now every country in that region is building ships and subs.

Currently, China uses the US dollar for over 91% of business outside their country, which makes US capital controls the CCP's greatest weakness. With the stroke of a pen, a US President could cause China to implode, including the end of the BRI debt-trap projects.
