Minor correction about the Max8 that makes it worse. Turns out the Max8 does have two angle of attack (AoA) sensors. But the MCAS system only read from AoA1, and never validated it against AoA2. It was recieving info from AoA2, but never us

I googled the pixel buds and yea, that is a very weird and unique thing they have going on. It is definitely not the "usual" method here, as I have never seen anyone pairing via the case in my life. I have never paired earbuds via

The case is usually just a case, or a charging device/battery for the ear buds. The earbuds themselves are connected to your device via bluetooth. Depends on the ear bud brand / cost. But they either both connect to your device se

I thought capital in this context meant investment money. Not finished products. A investor can quickly move capital from one industry to another, but the worker cannot.

I think an electronic keypad works better as a example. You get to a door, and there is a postit note on the door saying "Keycode is 2424". You know your job is in the building. Your keycard let you into the room with the door. Th

It wasn't hidden though. Lets pretend the guy was a pest exterminator, hired to kill some bug infestation. He is given a keycard to access most of the building. As he is hunting down the nest, he finds a hole in the wall. Bugs tend to

Well yes. That is Windows (Or Macintosh) 's whole shtick. People get Windows/Mac for the convenience of 1 click solutions and the understanding that most things will work with one click, or at most a few clicks and a login. It als

I am already paying them. If they decide to add advertisements after the fact, I am allowed to stop paying. After all, they are degrading the service.

The 5 minute airplane ad is nightmare fuel for me. How long until they kick up the brightness to wake you up. Imagine you are stuck in the window seat, forced to watch an ad you can't turn off? I am exaggerating obviously, but I do fin

I always get slightly confused with "AI Super Intelligence" as a defining word. To my understanding, an AI super intelligence wouldn't necessarily be an AGI. It just needs to have a goal, and the means to infer/figure ou

I want to throw another perspective here. I had a friend on a voice call earlier this month. He lives in California, which in theory has very strong gun control laws. While on call, his house alarm goes off, so he grabs his shotgun out of t

Failure comes before success. If you fear failure, and are unwilling to face it, then you have no business striving for success. I thought everyone here knew about this. Every software bug is a failure. Going through and squashing every one
