They don’t coordinate?

I didn’t say that ATC breaks the law for people’s convenience. The article says that this airport does stay open for unforeseen circumstances. It sounds like the pilot took the slack for granted.

Either the folks in this story didn’t communicate well, or they agreed to risk it at the last minute.

Besides lightbulbs, Westinghouse Electric was one of the biggest companies in the US in the postwar period. They made nuclear reactors and invested heavily in media.

We don’t hear the name much anymore because it was diluted so much by being a conglomerate. They pursued a lot of research and high tech ideas that didn’t pan out. There was no kernel to form the core of a new company, so the divisions were all sold off and renamed.

You just claimed that DDR5 SDRAM isn’t faster than magnetic core memory. Then you moved the starting point from core memory to mid-80’s DRAM, a completely different thing. Then gave the state of the art as 100ns when it’s more like 25ns if you stop to search. Then you still came up with 3x improvement in contradiction to the first sentence.
