I understand that they're probably focusing on US market growth first, but the UK and EU surely have potential too.
Iran has had indigenous repair and overhaul facilities for its Bell fleet since the 1970s. The huge facility at Isfahan was built by Bell as part of the massive contracts in the Shah's era and had been operating ever since.
I'm not sure why he felt he had to write it all in machine code though, sadly he doesn't discuss that decision. Perhaps it was due to the time-dependency of the lyrics?
Not particularly. New niche-interest non-fiction books are expensive ( $60+ ) and tend to have short print runs, after which their price on the second-hand market quickly escalates. And few are available as ebooks.
I've had to let a lot of books pass me by, even before they've been printed, simply because I couldn't afford them.
EVs shouldn't really look like ICE cars, there's no need for a long bonnet / hood. Logically they should converge more on a cab-forward shape like an MPV / minivan, or even forward-control with the steering rack ahead of the front axle.
So when one EV sedan shares its shape with a different ICE-mimicking EV, it's not because of technical reasons.

I was hugely disappointed by Blind Man's Bluff despite all the praise for it as it was written for a lay-audience.
Sleep gives immediate benefits, exercise gives longer term benefits. It's a conundrum.
We only associate warm orangey-white light with nocturnal lighting because of centuries of sitting around fires and candles.
Instead of clearly showing the 'path' of each part in a step, that is how and where to connect it to an assembly, they now tend to show the assembly with the new parts attached. This leads to a game of 'spot the difference' with the previous step.
It varies by justification. In the UK it is illegal to monitor communications not intended for you ( Wireless Communications Act 1949 ).
The most common claim is that they have never suffered a jet hull loss, which is technically correct as they paid over $100 million to repair 747 VH-OJH instead of letting it be written-off:
Known then as Access Utility for Windows 2.0, the program improved the accessibility of Windows for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have limited dexterity"
Annual PC shipments are still around a quarter-billion units...
They've been over 200 million each year for the past 30 years. Peaked at 364 million in 2011.
Not quite, the Toyota Corolla and RAV-4 both outsold it
Fighter pilots have been using HUDs for 70 years and in the past 20 years they have become common in airliners as they hugely improve safety in low-visibility operations.
To a degree, but not to the finesse of 10% + 2mph which is the threshold of prosecution in the UK, for example.
Can you tell 20 from 24mph, or 30 from 35mph, without looking?
The largest deployed US weapon was the B41 with a yield of at least 25MT. The closest contemporary is the B83 at 1.2MT.
