Looks like it hit and punctured the horizontal stabilizer rather than the tail rotor. Since this is a front-facing part of the helicopter it is quite feasible that the helicopter was moving faster than the drone, adding to the energy of collision.
My opinion is that if you give direct, honest feedback that's about the thing-that-is-done rather than about the person who's doing it, you do the other person a service. If they're offended about it or don't take it well, that's on them.

It matters a lot how you say it, though. I like the shit sandwich a lot, where you do compliment-criticism-compliment, but that's just a method of ordering the feedback, you shouldn't lie about it.
As a drone owner I think it’s only a matter of time until enough stupid and reckless things like this happen before it’s ruined for everyone who is safe and thoughtful about their drone use. DJI has gotten better as has the FAA in making it easier to decipher where you can and can’t fly, but the fact of the matter is that they have a lot more they should be doing. Why not limit flights in the US to the FAA mandated 400ft ceiling? There are enough high altitude videos on YouTube to indicate that people still like to test the limits and don’t think of the possible consequences.
Not as fast as they move forwards, but still pretty quickly[1]. I think 50mph is doable.

> While she was a great lead, we saved the managerial position for someone who was more suited for the job. Someone who could talk engineer and business all at the same time. Someone who has been groomed for the job.

I'm struggling with this, and I've struggled with it before. What I think you're saying is that you have an ideal candidate, but they're not enough so you need to pull in the perfect one from the outside. You don't want to invest in them instead, which would be cheaper.

"Someone who has been groomed for the job."

Why not train/groom them yourself? You already have the talent and the potential. That £10k signup bonus could pay for a whole course of training to get a loyal and well educated leader who already knows the business intimately.

It's a problem in its own making because a business fails to appreciate the talent it already has. Which is the same reason why so many people leave for new jobs, because their talent isn't recognised.

Best way to get some acknowledgment is to get a fresh job offer 50+% above what you currently get with wild enthusiasm to get you on board.

This smacks of poverty porn and blaming the most vulnerable victims of decades of the elites of both flavors, neoliberals and neoconservatives, stripping social services and underfunding proper mental healthcare that JFK left unfinished and was obliterated by subsequent figures, especially Reagan. The knee-jerk reaction hasn't been housing or humanity, but arrests, tossing property away randomly, disdain, ostensible sympathy and occasional hate. That's the reality and there's no quick fix, but to me, single-point-of-contact, unified delivery, involved social workers who care + housing + mental healthcare + drug treatment + investing in those who can work is a lot better than letting people waste away in squalor. It's embarrassing!

Here's one from a vendor I currently integrate with - have multiple APIs (in this case, a SOAP one, a REST one returning JSON, and then some language SDKs that wrap the latter for convenience), and have their feature sets be an interesting Venn diagram with various intersections but no unions. Just today I found out that the in the extensive integration we've written using the SDK (which wraps the REST API, remember), I will have to shell out and use SOAP because one (1) parameter on one (1) object in their extensive object hierarchy isn't supported by REST or the SDK, just by the SOAP protocol. Nice.
I don't know anything about this site, but if you navigate to the page labeled "doctor patient privilege":

You can not see that the mcap doubles in 10 years if you check the current mcap. You just explained why the mcap is pointless. Everyone know USD gets printed. Inflation isn't a secret either. No one need to check the mcap daily over several years to see that. People may wanna know the inflation rate in % per year or how much money was printed in the last year etc. The current mcap however says nothing. The history may show a trend but that's something completely different and the actual current value isn't relevant do determine a trend.

Also you totally bullshitting neither Interactive Brokers nor Yahoo Finance shows mcap for any fiat or precious metals. It however show mcap for cryto (Yahoo) but that doesn't make it a useful value. Its most probably just copied form CoinMarketCap.

>For any stock you click, you see its market cap.

Sure, but I said fiat/gold not stocks. The whole discussion started because people think the mcap of bitcoin somehow makes bitcoin or other cryptos comparable to stocks or fiat/gold. But that's nonsense because the value itself has no meaning for these assets.

Again, no none care that you think I have no clue. Bring arguments/sources for your claims or stop wasting everyone's time.

How long did it last?
I agree that the hotel prices definitely drive people out, but also the general logistics problems, and things to do that aren't a conference are really silly in San Francisco compared to holding it in other more tourist-focused areas like Las Vegas. Las Vegas is capable of holding simultaneous high headcount events, and has the infrastructure to get a large number of tourists around without even batting an eye.

I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences but it feels like most conferences in San Francisco would start to become miserable in hotel price and commuting for people coming from out of town once you start getting to 20,000 or more people.

But as you hint, r/.well-known does NOT in fact exist and you can't make it

The /.well-known/ paths were reserved by RFC specifically because this doesn't really happen. You could _make_ a site with the defect you imagine on purpose and perhaps somewhere in the vast galaxy of sites there's already one that can be abused to do this, but they're vanishingly rare. To the point where I don't know of one even though I went looking.

One reason this prefix would be expected to be especially rare is that dot directories are both illegal in Windows (though the NT kernel has no problem with them) and special in Unix systems (they're legal but they're treated differently because it was convenient) and so any developer or administrator working with file paths for their web server is likely to disable names starting with dot at about the same time they disable names starting with slash and other shenanigans which blow stuff up.

Now of course a URL doesn't have to reflect a path on disk, but as soon as it doesn't we're talking about a slightly more clued in developer, maybe someone who has heard about security and thinks it might be a good idea.
Revisiting the Terrifying Tech of “Black Mirror: Nosedive”
Far out. A javascript photo editor running in a browser that feels faster than a native application like the Gimp. What an extraordinary achievement.

But it's not just the underlying speed. It's GUI interface design is simply beautiful. It's also intuitive, and discoverable. God how I wish other young designers would follow this example.

I suspect you are going to struggle commercially against "free" from the likes of Gimp unless you can survive on advertising revenue, but you've done well so far - bought out, run into the ground, sold back for pennies. It doesn't get much better than that. Given the quality of this product who knows, it may happen again.

I wish you and your product the best of luck - you deserve it.
Helicopters regularly cruise at over 120 mph, and the skin is around 1.27 mm thin. The stuff gets SHREDDED in a crash [1], it's generally not load bearing and acts as an aerodynamic fairing for the rest of the helo. The tail boom contains a truss space frame to do the literal heavy lifting. You see those "NO STEP" marks on commercial jet wings, because a human walking on some spots can cause damage. It's very plausible that a 5 lb rigid object (which is also how much a brick weighs), could do significant damage when striking skin at 100+ mph.

Add.: A better photo shows it's the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer that was damaged: https://cdn.abcotvs.com/dip/images/5734793_120419-kabc-11pm-... The puncture location on the upper surface of leading edge corresponds with a nose-down pitch of the helo in forward flight.

[1] This is something I notice wrong in CGI aircraft crashes, where it breaks into big solid chunks that bounce. In reality, aircraft crumple, disintegrate, and smear into tiny pieces on impact, leaving a long trail of small debris.

From Wikipedia: "The standard size of a subnet in IPv6 is 2^64 addresses, more than 4 billion times the size of the entire IPv4 address space."

their UX is still really really good, compared to every other web UX I've ever used.....except for google's. I'm not sure how much better it can get unless they had google-amounts of resources to put into it. There are few fundamental assumptions in the gmail UX that make certain things possible that couldn't work in Fastmail's design, like being able to read messages while I'm selecting them, expanding / contracting threads at once, having drafts inline with the thread that I can leave and return to seamlessly, all using keyboard controls. I have a very specific email reading style and I also have to deal with folders that have hundreds of new messages daily.

1/3 compared to metro Atlanta. Metro Atlanta is 8,376 square miles, while San Francisco is a mere 49 square miles.

San Francisco is throwing up plenty of hotels. For example, almost 200 new rooms are coming with a new 800-foot tower that has just started construction: https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/new-skyscraper-to-rise-in-ci...

There's a concerted media effort by conservative outlets to paint SF in a bad light. We have plenty of problems; plenty of self-made problems. But outsiders literally conspiring to harangue us says more about them than it does us.

I am open to and find some merit in the argument that users could just fork, etc. Using GPL does seem to favor certain profit models more than others inherently, but non are exclusive, and there have been quite a few GPL success stories money wise out there.

I really like RedHat for this reason. It shows that it is the service and support, and the act of maintaining software, that makes it's money, and their books are open so you can see exactly how it works. A comparable startup/project probably won't get VC'd into a unicorn, but there is plenty of room for growth in the GPL software for sale along with service and support category.

It looks like it's the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer, but it's not totally clear from the photo. A leading edge impact is definitely indicative of a forward flight collision.

Edit: Much better photo: https://cdn.abcotvs.com/dip/images/5734793_120419-kabc-11pm-...

Yes it's the h-stab. Upper surface of leading edge corresponds with a nose-down pitch of the helo in forward flight.

I don't get why you are being downvoted. Are people not familiar with the expression "get out of here" used in a friendly manner? Or do they really downvote you because they think it is so bad that you think that 1kB should be equal to 1000 bytes? I mean, I don't agree with you either but IMO the downvote should only be used for things that are either factually wrong, or which detract strongly from the conversation, or which contribute nothing at all. I think your comment is nice and it does not deserve to be downvoted.
Pal, it wasn’t a Kickstarter. And I liked what was being offered. Stop victim blaming.
They're using an existing certified battery for the prototype, not for operations. It takes time to certify battery chemistries.

And small general aviation aircraft like these usually only have a small portion of their takeoff weight as fuel, maybe 20-25%. But passenger aircraft may have 50% of their takeoff weight be fuel (for instance, 777 on long haul flights). Electric aircraft like Eviation will need to go further (55%). This is something you can do with a cleansheet design like Alice, but can't with a mere conversion designed literally over 70 years with manufacturing and materials from 70 years ago.

And you can apply the same principle of increasing take-off weight fraction for kerosene-powered aircraft as well. The Virgin GlobalFlyer was 82% fuel on takeoff. It flew around the world and then some. Kerosene is much better than it needs to be to enable modern flight.

You're absolutely right about Alice being late, but the design concept is a good example of what is possible. You combine state of the art but existing lithium ion chemistry (which needs some work for aviation certification but IS used on the ground already) with state of the art lift to drag ratio (and perhaps additional innovations, like wingtip propulsion to reduce losses from wingtip vortices) with efficient enough structural mass to enable 55% of the takeoff weight (as well as landing weight, of course) to be battery.

These things multiply together to enable long range.

You need to know that “results” is an array so you need the schema. In JSON an array is an array without doubt.
And as people keep pointing out, the 39bps figure does not refer to speech. It only refers to a single component of speech, which is the syllables being spoken.

When people are talking, they're exchanging far more information than that at a far higher information density rate. Which is why everyone keeps telling you that what you're talking about is not really speech.

The study you linked is focused on linguistics and the effective 'symbol rate' of various spoken languages, by taking syllables spoken per minute and dividing that by the total number of possible syllables in each language.

It says nothing about how much information is actually exchanged between individuals doing the speaking. It doesn't factor tone, accent, pronunciation, mood, pacing, etc all of which are critical components of spoken communication and add up to a lot more than 39bps.

So when you say 'speech is 39bps and this thing does more (it mostly doesn't), therefore this thing is better than speech'. People keep telling that no speech is not actually 39bps and what you're talking about is identical to just written text in this context.

A netblock. A "/n" means "a block of IP addresses where the first n bits are the same".

This comes from the CIDR notation 192.168.1.0/24 indicating the netblock from 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.255.

So the number after the slash corresponds to a network size. The smaller the number, the more bits are variable, i.e. the bigger the netblock.

An IPv4 /24 has 32 (address length) - 24 = 8 bits that are variable, i.e. 2^8 addresses. A /18 would have 32-18 = 14 variable bits, i.e. 2^14 addresses.

In IPv6, the address length is 128. A /64 (which happens to be the smallest routable network size in IPv6) is 2^64 addresses - but because it's easy to get large IPv6 netblocks (typical ISP allocations are /64, /56, and you can often get a /48 with relative ease), for abuse blocking purposes, you generally treat the entire /64 or even /56 as one entity (i.e. you ignore the rightmost 64 or 72 bits).

A /56 is 2^8 separate /64s. A /48 is 2^16 separate /64s.
