According to the Bureau Of Labor Statistics, the median salary for airline captains, first-officers, second-officers, and flight engineers in the United States is $203,010 as of 2021.

The big problem is actually in certifying people qualified to take those jobs, which takes additional time and money, mostly to pay for flight time for training. It can take a few grand for just a personal pilot license, but to fly an airline, you need instrument, commercial, and Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) certifications, plus increasingly expensive type ratings for the various aircraft you will be flying, a minimum of 1500 hours of flight time, and multiple years at the bottom working your way through smaller regional airlines and courier services.

You can get through the commercial licensing in 12-18 months and about $40k in flight time and insurance, but that is barely enough to get your foot in the door making $50k a year, and even then, you’re still not allowed to fly parcels or passengers for money. Getting those licenses will take another 18 months and another $40-80k, again, mostly in flight time.

That said, once you have ATPL, the company will start paying for your flight time, and you will be earning a 6 figure salary. After 5 years or so and about $100k investing in your training, you should be making over $200k, and can begin to recoup those costs.

The generalized approach in industry is to use API calls, and create classes to structure the data you receive as JSON or XML. At that point, it is entirely up to you how to format and display the data from your classes. Take a look at some of the Lemmy client code like Mlem, Memmy, or Voyager as examples. Though they have gotten more complicated, they all follow this client-server model for front end development.

However, due to recent shenanigans around API and RSS by companies, mostly those looking to prevent AI companies from using their data for free, the alternative, much worse method is to take the HTML output from a standard web request, and try to reverse engineer the page information into a class structure. This sucks, breaks frequently, and requires you to code around ads and other junk on pages in order to get at the content.

Saying “Integrates with OpenAI” in 2023 is exactly equivalent to saying “uses Web 2.0” from 20 years ago. Buzzword trash that says absolutely about how the product uses said technology.

Classic stupidity isn’t fraud defense. It’s fairly effective, despite what this article is representing; if they prosecution can’t prove conspiracy or material fraud (smoking gun), they have an uphill battle proving their case.

Yes

Support is not action.

If political violence has been rising across the board, why use an article from five years ago? According to your premise, shouldn’t there be a more recent incident?

Of course nothing is 100%, but ascribing equal weight between 1% and 99% is a false equivalence.

That’s a gauss gun, not a railgun. Still cool, though.

No, that sounds like adaptive brightness, HDR is more like localized brightness overdrive, particularly in gaming and film.

AutoHDR is only available in Windows 11. Granted, HDR uptake on PC monitors has been abysmal, it’s a great feature for the few that might use it.

Why would you send authentication to a known good identity while on TOR? This literally defeats the purpose of anonymity.

PBS beat you to it.

This seems like the best possible use case, presuming both the actor’s estate and the new voice actor will get paid. You have the benefit of a human actor driving the cadence and emotion, then overlay with the transformation so unknowing players aren’t taken out of immersion by a sudden switch in a character’s tone and demeanor.

Fetterman shows the integrity of John Fetterman; the democratic leadership in the Senate was more concerned with dress codes. Why does the rest of party get to claim benefit from his actions?

This one. Most systems in the spec didn’t have the RAM to run aero effectively, and ran like shit. If you had 1-2GB of RAM, it worked fine; just you had less of that RAM available to allocate to the same apps that worked great under XP. If you were lucky enough to have a 64-bit processor, Vista was actually pretty nice, compared to the XP 64-bit edition and the driver nightmare that entailed.

This is what they are banking on.

One frustration I have with Community listings has been that the list of “active” users includes bots, and posts with zero comments. I’m having a lot of trouble finding communities in instances that actually have active discussion, particularly with higher counts of unique users contributing content.
