This one 3-1/8" inch instrument displays more than 15 pieces of information, is somehow perfectly legible even in turbulent flight, _and_ is more reliable and accurate than a whole 6-pack[1]. Synthetic vision unlock is only $500. This is all without switching different pages.

Get two of them, and the FAA considers the possiblities of both of them failing at the same time so low, that you can cover one of them to satisfy partial panel failures in a checkride - well, all you do is to switch the "working" one to the PFD page, and you haven't really lost any capabilities!

Is this the new "2024 is the year of linux desktops"?

Simply outputting the last value (as more or less shown in these charts) is a pretty good end of day price predictor!

I put the majority of my cash in one of the smaller banks. The news that has transpired in the past few days had me mulling moving those funds to a larger bank, likely Chase (one of the too big to fail ones).

Even with the FDIC guarantees, I was not at all confident that :

1. they actually had the funds to cover _many_ bank runs; and

2. it won’t take weeks if not months for me to recover my funds, if my bank fails.

It’s entirely possibly that these lines of thoughts will motivate many more people to consider this exact move, putting even more stress in the system.

I'm definately not one for more highways, but this map doesn't look _that_ different from SF today?

- https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07XTZ45T2 (this one is more of a laptop screen than a monitor)

I’m simplifying here, but essentially no one has figured out how to make OLED panels affordable at a reasonable form factor for monitors yet. The type of panels used in phones (and tablets/laptops) are very different from those used in TVs. LG is making inroads with their 42 C2s, but those will also have a high price and is still way too big for normal monitor use cases.

Fun fact: this is true for python too! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40764347/python-subclass...

Nowhere in your linked article indicates that "no existing facilities were added".

> As of January 2022, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is manufactured between 11 sites across five countries, including the U.S., Germany, Belgium, Ireland, and Croatia, and engages more than 20 suppliers.

See sibling comment on Moderna.

> The vaccine was practically ready on day 2 of COVID due to mRNA

No. "ready" as in we can produce a vile in a lab? Sure. Ready as in tested in the general population, mass production facilities, distribution networks? Absolutely not.

> So I'm not sure why Warp speed is considered a success?

Producing a vaccine is about the easiest part of warp speed. Having the supply chain needed to vaccinate the whole population in such a brief time? That's the success. Also, it's literally the entire point of TFA.
