A glimpse of the future of aviation
Compared to the whine and roar of the planes that came before, when the plane I had come to see appeared, the first thing I noticed was the lack of noise. As the plane circled back, and glided overhead on its second pass, the plane’s electric motor gave off a soft hum.The several hundred aviation enthusiasts who lined the taxiway with me at San Carlos Airport, heads craned towards the sky, had likely come to see that morning’s finale: an acrobatics display featuring the Sukhoi West Demo Team.
I had come to see the B23 Energic. The plane’s diminutive size – it measures just under 22 feet from nose to tail and a little more than 30 feet wide at the wings – belies its outsized role in the future of aviation.
Airports are already busy reducing emissions from operations on the ground and at the gate. Emissions from planes in flight account for a much larger share of the sector’s overall carbon footprint and will be commensurately difficult to clean up.
Travelers alive today may never fly across and between continents on fully electric planes. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a role for battery electric planes today.
In fact, the B23 Energic will be used to train the next generation of European pilots beginning next year.
H55 is targeting the B23 Energic at flight schools, aero clubs, military academies, and private pilots. The 100-kilowatt electric motor and 49 kilowatt-hour battery pack allows for around 70 minutes of flight time. One hour of charging yields one hour of flight time.For flight schools, the big selling points are the low operating costs and quiet operation.
The electricity cost for 1-hour of flight is just $7 (at 20 cents/kWh), according to Bristell.

finestraica pigrizia con del rendering schifatico.
Non inizia per davvero una nuova settimana in termini lavorativi personali, se non esce fuori un nuovo esterrefacente bug sul mio assolutamente meraviglioso apprezzatissimo Windows 10… e anche stavolta non è qualcosa che vedo per la prima volta, ma adesso ho avuto modo di filmare (talmente che son rognosi codesti troiai). Ed è tutto assurdo come al solito… 😭Quello che è successo stavolta, e che ovviamente succede solo a momenti alterni in base a nessun criterio logicamente discernibile, è che alcune finestre (di explorer, nello specifico… non mi sembra di averlo mai notato con altre finestre che tengo non massimizzate) magari prendono e smettono di renderizzare le zone che sono al di fuori dell’area dello schermo, nel mio caso perché spostate troppo verso destra. Normalmente non succede nulla di strano mettendo le finestre in fuori, mentre in certi casi la finestra finisce in questo stato semi-glitchato, in cui si osservano due distinte merdate: 💩
- Guardando dalla vista Alt+Tab, si vede che la finestra ha effettivamente il contenuto aggiornato nella parte per cui questa è visibile a schermo, mentre per la parte in cui è oltre si vedono o i pixel precedenti al momento in cui è scattato il glitch (e stavolta questo è il caso), oppure proprio del nero (probabilmente bit di memoria resettati a zero, quindi pixel #000). 🕳️
- Trascinando la finestra da fuori a più in dentro l’area dello schermo, sul bordo limitrofo si vedono apparire per delle frazioni di tempo i pixel lì rimasti non aggiornati, esattamente come visibili dall’Alt+Tab (quindi in questo caso colorati, altrimenti neri), mentre contemporaneamente quella parte di finestra si aggiorna e si sbugga. Il resto che rimane oltre lo schermo rimane glitchato, mentre ciò che è stato spostato in dentro rimane sglitchato (almeno fin quando la maledizione non colpisce di nuovo la finestra). 🎃
Anche stavolta, un problema molto stupido, ma guardate che cazzo di roba! (E guardate come nel mentre fa la sua guest appearance un altro glitch che postai mesi fa…) Come minchia si fa ad introdurre un problema simile in un sistema operativo?! Pensare che io faccio sempre gli aggiornamenti (ho liberato spazio da quell’ultima volta, eh…), ma questi bug continuano a rimanere. Anzi, molti di quelli che io ho qui sopra pare ci siano ancora anche su Windows 11, dopo anni e anni… E che cazzo, cioè, è da un trentennio che in un modo o nell’altro la shell di Windows è completamente rotta, e non cambia mai niente in questo senso… e allora mi spiegate a che minchia servono tutti gli infiniti aggiornamenti, se non risolvono mai i veri problemi che si incontrano? Vaffanculo!!! ☄️💣🔪👹#000 #bug #explorerExe #glitch #UI #visual #Windows #Windows10

Jury orders man to pay $500K for assaulting police officer who killed himself after Capitol riot
The jury ordered chiropractor David Walls-Kaufman, 69, to pay damages to Erin Smith for assaulting her husband, Metropolitan Police Officer Jeffrey Smith, on Jan. 6, 2021.
A federal jury on Monday awarded $500,000 to the widow and estate of a police officer who killed himself nine days after he helped defend the U.S. Capitol from a mob of rioters, including a man who scuffled with the officer during the attack.
The eight-member jury ordered that man, 69-year-old chiropractor David Walls-Kaufman, to pay $380,000 in punitive damages and $60,000 in compensatory damages to Erin Smith for assaulting her husband, Metropolitan Police Officer Jeffrey Smith, inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. They awarded an additional $60,000 to compensate Jeffrey Smith’s estate for his pain and suffering.
The judge presiding over the civil trial dismissed Erin Smith’s wrongful-death claim against Walls-Kaufman before jurors began deliberating last week. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes said no reasonable juror could conclude that Walls-Kaufman’s actions were capable of causing a traumatic brain injury leading to Smith’s death.

US Financial Markets become positive before the truce is announced. Is it a sign of information leaks?
US Financial Markets stop their losses and turn positive before the truce in the conflicy with Iran is announced. The gain might seem small, but it is an average, it is interesting to note that at the same time shares of oil companies, like ExxonMobil stopped their progress and turned into red.
Are, those, signs of some information leaking out from government sources before the official announcement?

I looked at that post from another instance (feddit.online) and the same problem exists there.
Ok, I went back through your post history and found the post in question. I can confirm that something is seemingly broken with that post, though I am not exactly sure what. Did you make this post via the website or in an app?

Das sind mehrere Stunden Sendezeit, jede Woche, gefüllt mit Gerede, das sich „journalistisch“ gibt, aber doch nur „Unterhaltung“ ist. Und nicht mal gute. Nun stellen Sie sich vor, diese Stunden ihrer Lebenszeit würden statt dessen von Menschen gefüllt, die nicht nur „was zu sagen“ haben, sondern sich wirklich „unterhalten“. Über Journalismus.

Gorilla Biuscuits in Italia dopo 9 anni, il 25 giugno in concerto a Roma
Sono passati 9 dalla doppietta che i Gorilla Biscuits infilarono nell'estate 2016, due apparizioni a Roma e Milano che non avevano certo deluso le attese. Era ora di rifarlo.
Eroi dell’hardcore newyorkese, i Gorilla Biscuits fanno irruzione nella scena straight edge nei tardi Anni ’80, affermandosi rapidamente come un punto di riferimento per i decenni a venire.
Reazionari e intenzionati ad abbattere le regole militanti e limitanti che circondavano molte band hardcore a favore di più decisione e presenza concreta, i Gorilla Biscuits stravolgono la scena con performance martellanti e una schiettezza incorruttibile che li rendono assolutamente indelebili dalla storia del movimento.
Il tutto rilasciando un solo album e un EP in tutta la loro carriera.
A nove anni dall’ultima parentesi italiana, i Gorilla Biscuits tornano a spazzarci via per due serate al limite del collasso, di cui un’unica al Largo Venue di Roma, supportata dai Feldspar. Mancate a vostro rischio e pericolo.

OSTP Has a Choice to Make: Science or Politics?
The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) has until the end of June to develop new guidance for federal agencies. Federal agencies will use this guidance to create new policies that align with the Trump administration’s dubious definitions of scientific integrity and “gold standard science.”The goals of scientific integrity policies are to (1) protect the scientific process from inappropriate (like political or corporate) influence, (2) make federal research and evidence accessible without compromising people’s personal data, (3) allow federal scientists to communicate their research without interference, and (4) to use the best available science in decision and policy making.
I mean, I think we all know what the choice will be, right?
OSTP Has a Choice to Make: Science or Politics?
Last week, the Union of Concerned Scientists sent a letter to the Director of OSTP, Michael Kratsios, outlining our concerns about this EO and recommending what should be included in the new guidance President Trump requested in the recent EO.The Equation

OSTP Unveils Agency Data, AI Guidelines for ‘Gold Standard Science’
Automation, public data repositories, standardized metadata forms, and interoperable data-sharing platforms are some of the major pushes being made in guidance for Federal agencies looking to apply the Trump administration’s “gold standard science” objectives, according to guidance issued today by the White House Office of Science and Technology (OSTP).OSTP Director Michael Kratsios delivered the memo to Federal agencies on June 23 and said the guidance will assist agencies in applying an executive order from President Donald Trump on “Restoring Gold Standard Science” by ensuring “that science is no longer manipulated or misused to justify political ends.”
That memo included methods of approaching science-related initiatives – namely those related to national security and energy innovation, according to the document – that would foster cross disciplinary collaboration and withstand scrutiny.
“In an age of rapid technological progress and heightened public scrutiny, federally-funded and federally-performed science, and its use in Federal decision-making, must be beyond reproach,” reads the document.
To support this goal, OSTP said that agencies should encourage depositing raw data and code in publicly accessible repositories to facilitate reproducibility. Other data-related pushes include requiring grant applications to include data sharing plans, and standardizing metadata formats and data-sharing platforms across agencies.When introducing the concept of gold standard science in May, Kratsios zeroed in on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles in scientific fields, claiming that inclusive efforts pushed by DEI pose an “existential threat to the real diversity of thought that forms the foundation of the scientific community.”
Kratsios said that the “first step to restoring trust in America’s scientific establishment, and rebuilding a strong foundation for breakthrough discoveries, is a return to Gold Standard Science.”
