Well, yes... America has proven with Assange that they are more than willing to go after people who broke American laws while not in America or any of its states.
In their eyes, American Law = World law. Which is not how it should be, nor how any country should have influence over.
I didn't read the article, but I must say that Borat is some of the funniest shit I've ever seen.
Yes. His humor is hilarious. It is also racist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, and full of lies (Kazakstan is not actually a major producer of potassium).
Exactly the kind of thing he believes should be censored.
Or are satire and lies okay if they come from woke people on the left?
You miss the point. Nobody watches Borat and thinks that its the honest-to-god truth.
How do you tell the difference between types of content on Facebook? How do you tell the difference when its an ad on Facebook?
Weird.
Most passenger aircraft only use oxygen cylinders for the crew.
Pretty much... The PAX oxygen system is mostly for show. If an aircraft is at cruise height, there's less than 30 seconds to put on an oxygen mask - and passengers really haven't trained for it...
If the crew oxy system doesn't work, there's issues... The pax one? Eh - they'll wake up again below about 15,000ft....
Human rights exist everywhere,
Things that are actually rights, yes. The "right" to enter the US upon demand is not one of them. Therefore, being prevented from entering the US upon demand is not a violation of a human right because it is not a violation of a right of any kind.
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
I guess that's not a thing anymore?
What I found strange, climb, level out, climb, level out, climb, level out, rapid descent, then recovery, profile climb.
At the first identification of levelling out, the crew should cut off all automatic control and take manual actions to rectify the flight path. You first action should never be "Oh, the autopilot is going something funny, how can we fix it?"
There's a great video that's over 20 years old that is still as relevant today as it was then.

Flight aerodynamics hasn't changed in that time - but how we train / respond in both training and procedures have.
Agreed. I threw in my online alias into it, $260/yr for the first year. Tried with another registrar, $19.95/yr....
Seems like Google is playing the game.

You mean like the 'nazi salute' that everyone knows was actually an American thing?
It was called the Bellamy salute - which was adopted by the nazi's for being so effective. Of course, after this, the American version became that you put your hand over your heart.

How quickly we forget...
When are these dickheads going to realise that the more they dilute the market into more and more service providers, the fewer subscribers everyone will have.
I'm sure they'd love a market where you pay $19.95/mo each to Disney, Netflix, Amazon, YouTube Red, etc etc etc.
The reality is, people might pick one or two - and that's it. Then you get people like me that won't buy any - just because the companies keep dividing up their content and I don't want to pay for each small slice.
One the above post, I thought I'd have a quick play.
Sure enough, it 'just works'. Currently just got one repo I'm playing with - and using less than 64Mb RAM...
Certainly much kinder on the system than self-hosting bitbucket or gitlab...
The most experienced pilot I've flown with never took his left hand off the control yoke.
That's the exact work reduction autopilots are designed to enable.
Your so called "most experienced pilot" (*cough* MORON) had just defeated the exact purpose of autopilots.
This guy might as well fly with the autopilot off.
You are the kind of guy I do not want to be my captain or co-pilot.
I've got a CPL - and in all my training - one thing that always stood out is that I never fully trusted the autopilot.
There's a great video that was done in 1997 called "Children of the Magenta" that seems to ring true with everything I hear about Telsa issues like this.

Aircraft, cars, the lessons are the same.
Not only do we make sure there is always one pilot monitoring (the Pilot Flying - or PF), if the pilot not flying (PNF) needs to exit the cockpit, a hostie with basic training will replace the PNF in the cockpit. This ensures there are always two people at the controls.
When the PNF returns, they replace the hostie.
We also have a rule that if the PF doesn't react to verbal or aural cues after 3 tries - the PNF takes over the aircraft. This includes both actual pilots, or the hostie with basic training.
Trying to compare a car to an aircraft is a bad idea - we have procedures for all of this stuff - and most procedures exist because people have died.
