You know very well this is not acceptable. The ad network chosen and the click jack tells me you have tarnished your romance with bottom barrel scraping baddies.

Download ready, click to proceed for me. Clicking the X on the second time I loaded the site click jacked the ad itself.

I agree, I don’t see this working on existing commercial cargo planes without significant engineering challenges. I also don’t see this working for existing air control systems. I do see it working for private airfields designed for it and tow planes designed for it but that is out of scope. I wonder if they get their own adsb signal?

In short it seems like a combination of high labor cost, high corrosion risk (concrete chips and salt water erodes the rebar inside) and technological advancement (fiberglass). Also the steel shortage that birth these in the first place was short lived.

Yep that. Plus the Mulberry harbours were designed specifically to be sunk to act as harbours and breakwaters, for which concrete is actually fairly well suited. We have other ways of building harbours during peacetime that don't involve sailing them across a large body of water though

Basically, no one would have ever started using concrete, if steel would have been more avaiable.

I know one, can you elaborate?

After the end of the Second World War large numbers of Nazis escaped to Argentina in order to avoid any repercussions and to this day there remains a bunch of Nazi sympathisers as it became a bit of a magnet over the years.

Pay to open this room option. Allow a sponsor URL.

Create premium object properties that make premium objects more fun maybe. Object properties and rate limits may be enough to get payments flowing in.

Make 'for pay' elements stick around and make it one of those per room for a month or so.

add 'sponsor a room' a thing, and it creates a room with your background image

this might be my best direct path to keeping the site funded hmm

Just charge to put something in the room. Problem solved. People pay for less.

It's weird to me that I've been using the internet for 30 years, and there's still no convenient way to be able to just chip in 20c for something. Paying anything is still a big clunky process.

However, there is a way to tell you that you haven't paid! (402 Payment Required)

This is what web3 in autumn 2021 was said to solve (with "gas").

There have been many, many attempts to solve it (crypto and otherwise) but none have really caught on.

that might happen eventually but it also might be too crappy to charge for. its about to go back up in the next 5 mins thanks to a generous hn reader. I do think

I believe you have discovered a good balance of crap and potential. Pretend you are Markus Persson and this is your first Minecraft prototype.

If you go viral, you could charge companies, not users, e.g., a LiMu Emu product placement ;)

I hope the right person sees this :)

Many right people definitely already have. They are waiting for your next move … one or two may help ferry you across the channel but I would expect they are mainly waiting for your next move! Get busy.

One more reason for employers to invest in their local communities now … This comes down to cheap education. The skills can be acquired cheaper abroad. Companies can provide free education now or pay the 100k which is close to the cost of education here.

Yes I mean Trump's entire economic policy agenda domestically is to enact massive corporate taxes for any company that avoids hiring/training Americans to get cheaper labor from abroad. The problem is that the US has basically depended on importing cheap foreign labor from its inception, thats the basic economic model here and the only reason that countries like China or India don't need external immigration is because they already have internal migration. I remember I was taking a taxi in Kochi once and the driver was complaining about all these northern Indian economic migrants displacing local workers because the wages in South India are much higher than in North India. But the US does not have any poor workers or a peasant population. Unfortunately, all those good, cheap workers are going to end up elsewhere now and the west will probably begin to suffer economic slowdown because their workers don't want to get priced out. Eventually all the borders will come down, since they harm competition.
