- arnon 6y ago"Ubuntu 20.04 caused outage" - "It's worth mentioning this isn't Ubuntu 16.04" Feels pointless to me.
- totalZero 6y agoFair point, but consider this: When I first saw this story on Bloomberg, I opened the article searching for the variant of 737 aircraft involved. Given the accident history of the 737 MAX, it's important for people to understand that this aircraft does not tie in to the MAX saga. The fact that this is not a MAX aircraft is relevant both to travelers and also to BA stockholders.
- arnon 6y agoUnderstood, and as I mentioned, it was a 737-500 that is 26 years old.
- sokoloff 6y agoThe difference is not nearly everyone knows the series number of the Max (thus doesn’t get the full signal you intended from saying it was a -500). Precisely the lightly informed people whom you were trying to help are the ones most prone to this error. It’s more like saying “this article involves Ubuntu 16.04” when “Ubuntu Focal Fossa” has been all over the news for 18 months.
- arnon 6y agoAlright. Point taken.
