I stitched together a small audio clip from LiveATC with both the Ground and Tower frequencies mapped to the Left and Right audio channels. It starts around the time the aircraft was cleared to land, and then skips forward to the moment the controllers realized the aircraft crashed.

Here is a link to the .mp3 file (it's on Discord for now - I don't know if this is allowed, let me know if it isn't):

The discord link will die soon. The attachment links started expiring at some point last year IIRC.

It would be really nice if YouTube could give uploaders the ability to schedule ad slots, rather than them appearing randomly.

Unless they do this already and stuff I watch just does it badly, of course.

I'm pretty sure this is a feature that's available at least to big creators – I remember a Tom Scott video doing a bit involving scheduling an ad at a particularly fitting moment.

You might have to be a YouTube partner or something like that to make use of this stuff, though.

I must admit, this is the kind of description that's enough to make me want to maybe get into ham radio someday.

Where’s 2 and 3? The question numbered 4 seems to be referred to as (2) in the question numbered 5

I have heard of at least one instance of an exam a while ago, where some questions – ones that need diagrams in their statement – would be written onto the blackboard in the exam room, due to limitations of the duplication techniques used for the exam paper.

I think it's more that his comment did not contribute to the conversation in any way, as per HN guidelines. The idea is to keep the threads as clean of superfluous answers as possible.

Exactly, the comment in question is basically a noisy upvote.

> Pizza Hut fires all delivery drivers due to CA fast food minimum wage law

This is not the original headline and misrepresents the article, which is that two large Pizza Hut franchisees in CA are doing that.

Probably trimmed due to HN's length limit

Blame the hacker, wait for it.

Also: I wonder if their management realizes that they probably have a nice trail in the form of a bunch of repositories and commit messages. Would be nice if that leaked.

You're talking about industrial PLCs. They're programmed using a-bit-more-fancy Scratch snappy blocks. There is no version control. The firmware contained paths embedded as strings, so we know that firmware for each model and customer was developed in a separate folder on disk. I wouldn't be surprised if they also had .zip files with backups of previous versions.
