Given the general attitude toward Edward Snowden in the Valley, I can’t help thinking that a lot of these FBers who are so upset that their dirty laundry is being publicly aired were perfectly fine with Snowden doing the same with state secrets.
If HE hadn't already been so cynical with his charitable donations, maybe I'd be inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt, as you suggest. Donating $100 million to the Newark public school system the same week "The Social Network" was released, with nothing to show for it educationally, compels me to suspect this LLC is more about Zuck and his family than the downtrodden or whatever.
As if you could even get the proof-of-concept for something like this for $4 million. It cost Eclipse $1 BILLION to ship their first jet, which, for all its innovation, was a lot more conventional than this thing.
This issue's been around for awhile. See this post (http://blog.codinghorror.com/why-cant-programmers-program/) from 2007. The problem actually inspired me to create a piece of kinetic sculpture I'll be offering as a series later this month on Kickstarter.
I only just logged out to look for those links (and found them). If I'm logged in, I can't find them anywhere.
Regarding HN's feed, all I know is, if I reset Feedly and Feedbunch (i.e., mark everything as read), after x minutes Feedly will show more unread articles than Feedbunch. Over the course of eight hours (when I'm asleep, e.g.), Feedbunch will show maybe a dozen new articles and Feedly will show, like, 40. I don't see this issue with my other feeds.
Winston Churchill once said, "If a man isn't a liberal in his twenties, has has no heart. And, if he isn't a conservative in his forties, he has no brain."
There is also a common opinion among Cirrus owners that a number of fatal Cirrus accidents could have been avoided had the pilot deployed the chute, i.e. people don't pull the handle early enough.
You really don't know what you're talking about. There is no evidence that the parachute entices pilots to take greater risks (if I'm wrong, by all means cite some), any more than car seat belts entice drivers to take more risks. Furthermore, "As of 25 January 2015 there have been 51 saves with 104 survivors in aircraft equipped with the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS)."
