A normally very NSFW comic called Oglaf. Brilliantly written, but don't browse at work.

I had this exact thought earlier today. Either curated directories, or a ground-up, vetted search engine that only pulls from pre-screened sources.
Serene! Is that you in the picture or did you take the picture of a buddy? Paragliding?
I'd argue the current punitive system makes it more likely you will be flying "with a pilot who’s suffering from mental health issues" that are hidden instead of treated. The problems exist now, they're just buried and ignored instead of addressed. I also think it's harmful to treat it so black and white, that either a person is "normal" or "mentally ill" with no grades or ability to be treated. Reform is possible, I think, by allowing disclosure and treatment of issues up front while continuing to operate at some level (maybe under supervision), instead of waiting years without being able to work while paying out of pocket for five figures-worth of tests. Even just streamlining the review and approval or denial to weeks instead of months or years would be a start.
I'm not on your instance but support your work all the same. I'm a reddit refugee and the flying communities are what I miss the most. Hoping for continued improvement and momentum!
Really bizarre and sad. Strange dissociation - he had the clarity to warn the flight attendants he needed to be restrained or he would do it again, but also couldn't stop himself from trying the emergency exit later?
Just a strange story all around. He blames it on having taken mushrooms 48 hours prior, but that seems a stretch to have this affect. Regardless, seems like a major mental health problem.
Thank you for the clarification and your hard work! Like others I prefer compact (strongly), so I've rolled back to 0.6 for now but will check back once it's available in 1.0.
I couldn't find any reference to that either.
Not needed, this is clearly a render, and not of any real device either. It's a pastiche of retro elements in a nonfunctional, stylized arrangement. The "cassette" is a miniature rendering of full-sized reel-to-reel tape. The speakers are more mid-2000s era design language, and the colors are over-exaggerated for the era.
"I cannot find any official reference to this model"
That is because it is a fictional rendering.
I was checking if Relay still works for me (it does), and happened to see this post at the top of my feed calling out bots on programming: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/14trtla/the_ai_bots_have_arrived_at_rprogramming/
First off, I was surprised that programming was allowing posts again; last I checked it was restricted. Judging by timestamps, it looks like it opened up 2 days ago.
The weird thing is that most posts since reopening have negative scores and no comments. 
example with several 0 karma posts.
Is this a continuing protest by r/programming users? Are they calling out bots and astroturfing with a scorched earth approach? I haven't checked the 0 karma posts closely to see if they are all bots, but that would make sense since not all posts are zeroed.
Have been avoiding reddit in general so I'm out of the loop.

Yes, that's the short of it. Each pixel needs its own wires, readout, and processing chain, and resources are limited on the spacecraft. The cryostat (instrument that keeps the pixels cold) only has so much cooling capacity and all the wires add thermal load.
Future missions are planned with more pixels (Take a look at the EASA Athena mission and its X-IFU instrument), and to reach that goal they are using multiplexing methods to allow more pixels to run on fewer wires.
