Copyrights should have a similar schedule to patents. The first period of coverage is no-cost but subsequent renewals increase in price, perpetual copyright should be financially ruinous but copyright should exist so a creator of a work can profit off it for a reasonable duration.
> Postgres itself has no issue with 1000 simple requests per second
Postgres in isolation has no problem with 1000 RPS. But does your Postgres server have that ability? Your server is also handling more complex requests and maybe some writes and concurrent re-indexing.
There was more of an issue than just an engine being out. It looks like catastrophic damage to at least the left wing. So you have to now assume an engine out, reduced lift (if not a stall) on one wing, and likely no control surfaces responding on that wing.
I think this conversation has become completely divorced from my original criticism of OP's comment, which is that we don't know what the pilots knew before V1, at V1, after V1.
Airports are usually built (originally) out in the boonies away from the major metro area. As time goes by and that land gets more valuable developers grease palms of politicians in land use commissions to allow developments closer and closer to the airports.
Airports also grow themselves. Some municipal airports sited for small aircraft extend their runways to handle larger planes.

That did exist with the likes of Tymnet and the various Online Services (AOL, CompuServe, etc). The Internet won out over those because it was open, as you alluded to. Internet adoption really exploded with unlimited services rather than ISPs that billed hourly.
The default background colors on early browsers wasn't always white. On Netscape Navigator on the Mac up to about version 4 the default background color was #C0C0C0 (IIRC). I seem to recall that also being Mosaic's default background color. Navigator on Windows had white as the default background color as did IE.
My first excursions on the web were on Macs so I thought something pages were doing some Windows-specific trickery when I first saw the same pages on Windows with white instead of grey backgrounds.
Even a lot of books on HTML in the early days had screenshots from Macs and you'd follow an example on Windows and the output would look different because of the different default background color.
