Curious what other languages were evaluated.

I'm........skeptical about all of this. Kid-sized sub built from rocket parts in a matter of hours?

> You can take an incremental approach and add type annotations as you need them

Most definitely. We've added type safety to new features in our legacy codebase. It's very seamless.

ADP is in my axis of evil. Their employee and employer-systems are horrendously out of date and their support is non-existent. Let them fail.

THANKS FOR POSTING THIS.

I was affected and had a repair done. Looks like they're reimbursing customers for past repairs for this issue. Woop!

Outside of most Cirrus aircraft, they're not standard. They work pretty well on light and ultralight (single engine) aircraft.

Think of the extraordinary size and weight a chute or series of chutes would be for a short haul 737-sized aircraft. The cost of lugging those around across a fleet would be absolutely prohibitive. There's also little reason for this type of safety mechanism for such passenger jets. Commercial twin or quad engine planes are extraordinarily safe, and offer many more redundancies than a tiny single engine plane.

I'm fully aware of the extreme cost of rolling out a fiber infrastructure in new locations, but I still wonder why Google isn't more aggressive with their expansion. While the upfront costs are great, they more or less have guaranteed success in most major cities. Nobody likes the incumbent telcos--they're hated all over the US. I just dream of a world in which we aren't getting raped by Comcast, TWC, and Cox. They are absolutely abysmal and have no incentive to make their customers happy given their market monopoly/oligopoly.

Couldn't this be reduced by, like, a lot by simply using this CSS3 gem?

This is awesome. Nice work.

Accurately shows the N-Judah ridiculousness I experienced this morning.

I think my example was valid.

Tivo, for example, is also a middle-man that is doing essentially the same thing. Tivo grabs your paid (in this case) cable TV signal, and for a separate fee, records that content onto their hardware and allows you to stream it on devices and televisions without using the cable provider's own hardware.

"I think, the Court got it right in the end"

I don't see how this really differs from a person setting up recording equipment in his/her own home to capture that OTA broadcast for later viewing—which itself is legal.
