Why don't passanger airplanes come with parachutes for people?
  • It's worth noting that all commercial aircraft that operate over water (so, the vast majority, excepting very small commercial aircraft and four-engine behemoths) have ETOPS ratings. [ETOPS, Extended-range Twin-engine Operations Performance Standards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETOPS#:~:text=ETOPS%20(%2Fi%CB%90%CB%88t%C9%92,%2Dengine%2Dinoperative%20flight%20conditions.) specifies the amount of time the aircraft can operate on a single engine, measured in minutes. ETOPS-180 is a pretty common rating.

  • Now Built in to Firefox | Add Text and Drawings to PDFs with Firefox PDF Editor
  • But why? There's no need for a PDF editor in a browser. This is just raising the size and lowering the performance of a browser for a feature that almost no one needs or wants.

    Mozilla should probably build a PDF viewer/editor (Adobe sucks and Foxit has gone downhill in recent years), but it's not part of Firefox.

  • Following the usual playbook, IBM's Red Hat begins locking down access to it's "open source"
  • We're (US) is in a growth cycle. This is a common thing -- the companies need to try to keep up with growth/markets, so squeeze people for more money. Reddit is doing it -- trying to IPO. Red Hat is doing it with this, though for me they've never been compelling or useful -- I'm shocked they've hung on this long. Their products in my (very limited) experience are mediocre.
