There are two things that make me doubt whether this plane will make it to market.

1. Laminar flow is not magic or new. Things like bugs, rain, turbulence, and high angles of attack can convert laminar into turbulent flow.

2. A V-12 diesel engine probably does not have the best power-to-weight ratio. If it did, other piston planes would be using them. A turbine engine might be better. If the plane is flying at higher speeds, it will have to fly at higher altitudes, and a turbine engine is more efficient at this.

It depends on the purchase agreement.

Tesla plans to market chassis, software, batteries, etc. to other carmakers. It's a matter of time until a small company buys these and sells an electric car with open source, highly customizable. There is definite a demand. The Tesla Models 3 and Y, like any car, have plenty of stupidity incorporated into their user interface. It will be great to be able to fix things.

Autoplay should be opt-in to conserve sanity, not bandwidth.

When you pass modern emergency vehicles on the side of the road, their flashing LED lights are so blinding you could never distinguish a human in the road if there was one. These need a night mode -- they're making things more dangerous for the first responders, not less.

If 1.2 buttloads of new people vote, then we will have 0.1 additional informed voters, and they'll influence 0.6 butloads of the rest. It's a good thing, overall.

I know. It's much appreciated -- your posts are much better than mine.

Not every site that requires a password needs one. There are lots of sites that require me to login in which I don't care if the whole world shares my account. Those are the ones that require long, complex passwords requiring three page changes on a cell phone keyboard.

Any language is worth learning, just to see how it works if nothing else. However, I would not use PHP for a new project unless there was an overriding reason.

I didn't say they were wrong. I said they're liable to have the same level of legitimacy. That's essentially what you said, treating it as suspicious and with skepticism.

I prefer not to waste my time with a news organization that requires this level of fact-checking.

That link goes to Bloomberg, the people who wrote and then refused to retract this bogus article. Today's "news" is liable to have the same level of legitimacy.

This is really funny!
(also accurate).

It was a high-altitude balloon, not a satellite. I'd still like to have one in my back yard.

Just try writing a /. post criticizing Windows 10.

People with more stable lives are more likely to live near leafy trees and green spaces.
