NTSB also is not the FAA, just to be clear. The NTSB is one of the most respected safety and accident investigtation groups in the world.

American passengers, assisted by SV technology, have been encouraged to be and demonstrated that they are totally indifferent to anything but price and will book with whichever carrier is least expensive. So don't complain that in orde

MCAS is not active with autopilot engaged, according to Boeing.

Yes and no. The basic 737 design dates to the 1950s. The first ones flew in the 1960s. The 737 Max is an augmented version of the original.

Poor kids used to be able to work in the summer and maybe part-time during the school year to pay for college, until easy loans inflated the cost so much that became impossible

A big problem with most of those plans is that they are sold as "everyone gets to go to college and the government pays for it" not that "government pays only for those who are qualified"

There are young people who should not be in college. They either don't have the aptitude, or they weren't serious in high school and aren't prepared. We should not be guaranteeing loans for these kids, nor making them at all

I think GP implied removing the guarantee on new loans. Not retroactively changing the terms of existing loans.

Yes but there's been no suggestion of malware introduced into the 737-MAX control software, as far as I've heard.

I use Firefox exclusively. If a site only works in Chrome, I won't use it. Stability and performance are about the same, in my experience. Neither are perfect. Though it's been at least a year since I really used Chrome so I can&#

They have said it. At least, their airline pilots union has. https://swaparesources.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/assets/pdf... .. the MAX aircraft has 17,000 recordable parameters and Southwest has compiled and analyzed

True randomness does not preclude clusters of events. In fact that's the nature of random events. Not saying I think these are completely random. But since we don't even know the cause of the Ethopian crash yet, who's to say?

Southwest are extremely experienced with the 737 in general and have specifically trained on MCAS and its potential failures on the MAX. Southwest have been flying since the 1960s, and have I think a total of (3) fatalities. No relation or

> No amount of marketing can give you the thrill that you get when you slam the accelerator. Have you driven another high-performance car such as a Porsche Turbo or GTS? They have similar acceleration times as the best Tesla.

We just pulled a Voltaire switch from our data center. They definitely made hardware. Or at least put their name on it.

Intel already have the high-performance interconnect they acquired from Cray (Aries) and now sell as "OmniPath". Not sure how that sells head-to-head vs. InfiniBand though. IB obviously has a lot more legacy presence in HPC data c

Southwest also took steps to add additional AoA sensor information displays to their 737 Max aircraft in the wake of the Lion Air crash. The operator does make a difference. https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/sou

I have no expertise in the area, but I doubt it's the same cause. Every 737 Max pilot will certainly be aware of the Lion Air crash and the ways to mitigate that particular behavior of the aircraft. We need to wait for the investigatio

I'm sure it's true, all I'm saying is that if you reach the point of walking away, just walk away. A list of grievances at that point is just going to be seen as a parting shot rather than having any real chance of motivating

Except even on a high-deductible plan, the provider bills the insurer, they play their games with the price, and eventually you get a bill. There is no up-front price. There is no market pressure. You still don't know what you will nee

That's his cost. The employer is probably paying twice that much more behind the scenes. Money they could otherwise be paying him.

They can deduct the employer share though? Or is that just self-employment taxes?

Learn to use words like synergy, leverage, no-brainer, disrupt, and incentivize. Use phrases like deep dive, core competencies, outside the box, and move the needle. Presto, you're talking like a leader.

Bullying isn't that difficult. It has a definition. It's not momentary anger or a general outburst or even a persistent bad temper. Bullying is a persistent pattern of behavior directed at a specific person for the purpose of inti

Assuming you're in the US, and not under a contract that says otherwise, a two-week (or any) notice is entirely a courtesy. And if you're not being treated courteously at work, I don't see a good reason to be one-way about it

Yes and no. Our biology hasn't changed since the middle ages, but we're so much better with sanitation, medicine, and communication that it's much less likely that we'd suffer the sort of population-decimating plagues of
