the argument the police use is that the cameras could assist a bad guy in an ambush

their 7 blade is ~225lbs.. so I'd guess at a minimum it's ~265#

The big wins here are likely the increase in thrust and ultimately cruise speed, which makes twin props more competitive with very light jets, and the decrease in noise which may make more airports accessible to the aircraft in question due to local noise limitations.

The big loss here is purchase price and maintenance price. But that's on a scale that's probably not bothering a person who can afford a brand new Beechcraft King Air or to completely refurbished a used version of the plane in the video (they quit making the Piper Navajo 30 years ago).

I can't say I have the numbers to dispute this. But the loudest thing on my Cessna is not the open, 1970s era exhaust. It is definitely the prop whipping through the wind.

I toured those mounds near St Louis.. it's absolutely amazing. Especially since none of my childhood public education made a single effort to state their existence, let alone go into just how much of a society existed before we (Europeans) showed up.

except at the bar I'm only pretending to hate the drunk with different opinions from me.

KDEN also put their runways so close together that it's not uncommon to for aircraft on approach on the parallel to set off another airplane's TCAS. I think most airline pilots consider that airport ripe for a midair.

> Not to doubt your story but being a flight instructor myself, I cannot imagine intentionally turning off power to airplane radios at an airport with a control tower (this is also illegal).

You just pre-arrange it with the tower and it's no big deal. Probably exceptions for busy class Cs or Ds, but it's no big deal to any airport near me.

I've also noticed that a lot of the elite and ivy league schools have started pulling themselves from the US News and World Reports ranking system. Which is a great ploy to keep the mystique of these schools alive while they lose most of the educational advantages that they had over other schools.

Where's that essay on bullshit jobs when you need it.

I wouldn't say that they're all doing it by trial and error. When this was done in my hometown it was explicitly done by a city council targeting a certain set of neighborhoods (that have since been gentrified). They wrote the law with such specific intent that they failed to see how it applied to anyone else.

This has been a growing trend in the US. The old argument for rules like this was often "broke cars reduce home value", so it's fun to try and see them use the pro-environment card but it's really to push out poor people. Every once in a while there's a city that makes a move like this because they are tired of broken down cars in poor neighborhoods and then end up repealing the rule when cops get uppity and apply it to middle/upper class people who are doing vehicle restorations in their driveways.

The big bummer in rules like this is that the wealthy people in office that are enacting this legislation don't know what a "major" car repair is because they've never done any. And their definition of a 'special tool' is anything beyond their Craftsmen "Baby's First Toolbox".

The irony is that the people I find to be most toxic in video games are the children. To the point that in a lot of "Looking for Group" Discord channels you see people saying "18+ only".

what was "the chat problem" ?

youtube allows 'chapters' for their videos and they're immensely helpful

and as facebook and governments have taught us, a lot of people consider end to end encryption to include "i can encrpyt between you and my server, decrypt it, read it, encrypt it again and pass it on".

The impact is not likely to be positive. Nearly every government in Europe will want access to the comms happening, particularly if it's within their borders or with their citizens. Europe is not likely to introduce an end-user-to-end-user encryption. It will be encrypted from end user to the government to the next end user.

Isn't that idea the same idea that google tried and failed at?

sure, but almost any game built on the Steam engine or an id engine came with the server code, which was nearly any game that mattered for a decade. That was a huge library of games you could self host a server with.

what in the world is this doing on the front page of hacker news.. This movie was hilarious. The The Big 3 Podcast podcast is hilarious. Particularly if you're a fan of say, Ron and Fez, and that line of comedy.

(I know nothing about self driving)

I seems like the hardest 90% of the work is the last 10%.

I can't upvote this enough. This is a mind blowing precedent for New Zealand, and scarily, every country. I can't imagine how Boomers in the USA could be drooling at this concept.

is it relevant? or is it a red herring.

I know that I started and shutdown a company through Stripe Atlas a year and a half ago and they're still charging me recurring fees for it. I'm not convinced that Atlas was ever fully thought out on their end and I regret using it.

I'm sorry officer, I didn't know I couldn't do that.

Makes it sound like they're falling out of the sky. Some of those are as simple as "a hurricane damaged it while it was parked."

technically you wanted "New York and or North Americans"... if you're trying to be pedantic about things you gotta go full pedantic.

This seems like a horrible idea. Three wheelers were outlawed for a reason, motorcycle trikes/sidecars aren't super stable either. I'm surprised someone would opt for this instead of a two wheels up front design.

I'm pretty sure my Samsung watch from 2014 did this?

because they don't have competitors
