This is 'disruption' in the operational sense?
- rosser 8y agoThe airlines are having to pull massively CapEx equipment (the price tag on a 787-9 is well over a quarter billion dollars) out of their fleets to have the IPC turbine blades on their engines replaced — using a temporary fix, which will require them to be pulled from service yet again, once the permanent fix is vetted. Of course they mean "disruption" in the operational sense. I see no basis on which to infer the Silly Valley sense of the term here.
- toomuchtodo 8y ago> Silly Valley I hope that typo was intentional, because it’s accurate.
- rosser 8y agoIt is. I don't remember where I picked it up, but I've been using it for years.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoLove it, thanks for sharing.
- southern_cross 8y agoSillycon Valley is how I have long referred to it.

- gaius 8y agoThe SV speak had almost made me forget the original meaning of the word isn’t always positive It isn’t positive in that sense either, given that it really means evading taxes and regulations.
