I found the premise of this odd. I also live in Brooklyn and have had no issues finding bucatini this year. It's consistently in stock at my nearby whole foods.
I agree that we frequently see this on HN in regards to aviation. However, I don;t think it applies to Greenspun. He's a knowledgeable and active pilot himself.
Lots of people are, that doesn't mean they aren't armchair quarterbacking. I know how to fly airplanes and helicopters, does that make me an expert on the flight dynamics of 737 MAX?
That still doesn't mean he knows anything about writing code for flight control systems in commercial environments. Maybe he's written some toy code in MATLAB demonstrating some things, that's never undergone testing on a real airframe.
Are there any airliners for which a sustained 60-70 degree angle of attack over a span of several minutes is not overwhelmingly likely due to sensor failure?
Do you have a source for this? My understanding is the Mercedes "Attention Assist" is based off driving behavior and not a camera pointed at the driver.
I was just about to comment exactly this. I immediately recognized several items from Overstock, Wayfair, etc.
The price of several of the items on Feather is close or sometimes more then the retail price from Overstock/Wayfair and delivery is not included. What am I missing here and what value do they provide?
Feather might as well just drop ship the furniture to your door and send somebody to assemble it.
This is anecdotal but a lot of my Furniture is from Overstock/Wayfair and arrives within a week living in a city. Ikea also delivers for a flat fee within a day or two.
358KIAS is in fact (or is close) to the Vne (never exceed) speed of an A330. This is an indicated airspeed limit while mach numbers are based off TAS (True Airspeed).
Wooden multi-story building are standard in the US, at least in the midwest. Many new apartment buildings less than 7 stories are constructed with wood. I actually live in a 6 story wooden building with about 300 housing units.
Also, stepping back higher stories is commonly done to help deal with shadows.
There are also ways to do Active Noise Cancelling without an external battery and without a new cable. I had an old Sony laptop that did ANR with software on the laptop and mics on the earpieces wired back into the laptop. Also the connector was backward compatible with a standard 3.5mm. They just used a 3.5mm connector with extra conductors on it like this one:

I had one of those tiny Sony Vaio's that did the same - great idea and tech but did you ever use it in comparison to the state of the art from Bose etc? It was night and day - the Sony was barely better than normal ear buds on an aeroplane...
I agree, I remember it being very poor compared to my Bose aviation headset. Still was a cool proof of concept. I imagine with the right software/hardware it could work just as well as external ANR
