They could have just banned liquids all together, but they picked some magic 15 mL limit (or whatever it is) that no existing containers at the time fit under. > The much more likely scenario is... Why do you phrase this as an either or

I think you'd be surprised how often small problems can occur on planes. They all have _potentially_ huge severity, but none of them have huge consequences because they are expected problems that pilots are trained to respond to.

MACS is safe but its not zero delta training as Boeing advertised. Pilots who were trained on it properly are able to recognize the problem and fix it when it occurs.

I'm still fairly certain that the purpose of the liquid ban is purely to boost sales of toiletries, especially in small "travel size" containers. An entire new line of single use toiletry products was invented to meet this re

Java is _memory_ safe. You cannot write a buffer overflow in java. When people say java is a "safe" language that's usually shorthand for "memory safe"

You can always quit. Or force them to fire you for refusing to implement a non fix. In reality though I doubt this narrative even occurred. Some incompetent engineer likely proposed this fix thinking that it was actually a fix. Edit: I see

On HN its always big bad management who is the cause of every security problem or shoddy piece of engineering. If only that pesky management would screw off then we could do things "properly". You'd be suprieed at how many in

Maybe but I'm skeptical it would be good enough. The industry seems to be hurrying to cut costs with lower end solutions and yet the high end isn't even close to perfect yet IMO. Its too early to commoditize VR in my opinion. Goo

And yet lots of robust software was shipped before always on internet and telemetry was a thing. If anything telemetry gives developers an excuse to use users as QA.

All this 5G panic is ridiculous. If our protocols were properly end to end encrypted then it doesn't matter who makes the router. The real reason is that 5G is not secure by design, just like 4G and 3G and GSM before. But the NSA wan
