Love the 3d printed optical mount!

I just wanted to know the difference between a precision-recall curve and a reciever operating curve.

Why does the optimum cruise altitude depend on the weight of the airplane? In this answer, Bianfable notes: [O]ptimum cruise altitude for a 777-200LR at a weight of 340 t is only FL285, but after burning 100 t of fuel it has increased to FL360 Why is that? Is it simply...
