I found the premise of this odd. I also live in Brooklyn and have had no issues finding bucatini this year. It's consistently in stock at my nearby whole foods.

I agree that we frequently see this on HN in regards to aviation. However, I don;t think it applies to Greenspun. He's a knowledgeable and active pilot himself.

AOPA has a much better article about this flight:

They also know better than to call it a biplane ha

Do you have a source for this? My understanding is the Mercedes "Attention Assist" is based off driving behavior and not a camera pointed at the driver.

I was just about to comment exactly this. I immediately recognized several items from Overstock, Wayfair, etc.
The price of several of the items on Feather is close or sometimes more then the retail price from Overstock/Wayfair and delivery is not included. What am I missing here and what value do they provide?
Feather might as well just drop ship the furniture to your door and send somebody to assemble it.
Edit: Looks like Wayfair even offers 2 day shipping on some items and usually provides an exact delivery day: https://www.wayfair.com/Zipcode%E2%84%A2-Design-Colby-Uphols...
This is anecdotal but a lot of my Furniture is from Overstock/Wayfair and arrives within a week living in a city. Ikea also delivers for a flat fee within a day or two.

358KIAS is in fact (or is close) to the Vne (never exceed) speed of an A330. This is an indicated airspeed limit while mach numbers are based off TAS (True Airspeed).
Here's a link to help explain the differences between IAS/CAS and TAS: https://www.decodedscience.org/airspeed-of-an-aircraft-indic...

Wooden multi-story building are standard in the US, at least in the midwest. Many new apartment buildings less than 7 stories are constructed with wood. I actually live in a 6 story wooden building with about 300 housing units.
Also, stepping back higher stories is commonly done to help deal with shadows.

It sounds like this is geared toward "high growth" startups.
"With Stripe Atlas, you can establish a C-Corporation for your business in Delaware."
Probably not ideal for a typical small business.

I agree, I remember it being very poor compared to my Bose aviation headset. Still was a cool proof of concept. I imagine with the right software/hardware it could work just as well as external ANR

There are also ways to do Active Noise Cancelling without an external battery and without a new cable. I had an old Sony laptop that did ANR with software on the laptop and mics on the earpieces wired back into the laptop. Also the connector was backward compatible with a standard 3.5mm. They just used a 3.5mm connector with extra conductors on it like this one:

I've never heard of any restrictions suing a company in small claims. It looks like it does happen from time to time:
