Even worse is when Justin Timberlake did that song "Cry Me A River", when there was already an excellent song by the same name. It just obscures the existing song, and does the world a disservice.
Pretty rude way to disagree with someone. I'd appreciate any criticism, but not sure what I'm supposed to do with this comment, other than feeling bad.
If I have a software RAID that I created under MINT using `mdadm`. will the partition work the same after installing Ubuntu 16.04 or will I have to re-synch the volumes?
AFAIK mdadm has been stable for years (one of the reasons why I prefer software raid to hardware raid). As long as you boot into anything resembling a recent Linux kernel along with a userspace with mdadm support, you should be fine.
If in doubt, boot from a live-cd/usb and see if you can mount your drives ok.
To an extent, and seemingly always with frames. But pro riders often use parts that aren't "sponsership approved" - they just make them all black or similar (rather than have another manfacturer's logo on them)
We have the same gas mileage (fuel per seat mile) as a lay-flat bed in business class. Since the aircraft can do nearly 3X as many trips in the same time, on net it's better.
That's just the start of course—with more innovation on fuel efficiency the price and emissions both come down.
$5,000 is what a business class ticket NY/London costs today, and many business travelers are able to do that routinely. This compares to up to $20k on Concorde.
We will get the $5,000 way down over time—this is just the start.
"Since the aircraft can do nearly 3X as many trips in the same time"
Isn't that a bit optimistic? I would think it's closer to 2X. 2.6 times the airspeed, but why would turnaround time at the airport be any lower than for a comparably modern 'slow' airplane?
For example, 6 hour flight plus 1 hour turnaround time versus 2.3 hours plus 1 hour turnaround time is more or less a factor of 2. For longer flights, the ratio goes up a bit, but getting it over 2.5? I doubt it, at "the 2.6 times as fast as a typical passenger jet" level.
> Do you actually think most anyone can afford $5000 round trip to London?
$5k is fairly standard for a first class ticket purchased a few weeks out. It's also much cheaper than a private jet and would yield the same, or similar, or possibly better results.
Here's another interesting subtle side effect. People on this plane would see it as an exclusive networking "club".
I can easily see finance professionals and executives loving this the whole concept.
> Do you actually think most anyone can afford $5000 round trip to London?
I'm genuinely curious where you got "most anyone" from their marketing copy. I read it as "affordable for people flying business class," but that might be because I was thinking in the context of Concorde pricing.
Edit: Derp, totally glossed over that part of the parent comment.
$5,000 isn't an "everyone every time" price, of course. But it's low enough for routine business travel. With more innovation (this is just V1!), we can improve fuel economy and reduce prices further.
It's like on the pilot of Futurama. As Fry leaves the cryogenics he woke up in, the door automatically whooshes open. He stands under it and looks up, only to have it slam down into his face.
On the DVD commentary, one of the writers explained that the future will be like Star Trek, but nothing will work. It's turning out to be true.
