I would very much enjoy reading the pre-reading for this post.

It wasn’t a solid wall, it was another vehicle. The brakes don’t respond immediately - you need to be able to detect that a collision is imminent several seconds before it actually occurs. This means you have to also successfully exclude al

This is old news, this occurred in December and was covered extensively at the time. This article is covering some FAA follow-up as if it is a newly reported issue.

The Vision Pro feels enormously delicate and precarious in your hands. The entire front feels like an optical surface you shouldn't touch, because it's not clear where the feedthrough cameras are that you might smudge with a finge

There are plenty of engineers who are not suited for leadership positions, and inability to detach from the technical details and focus on the bigger picture is certainly something you'd want to watch out for. No one said these jobs ar

The pass through is indeed very fuzzy. All the reviews where people state “it’s like looking through clear safety goggles”, etc. are bogus. It’s like looking through a cell phone camera from about 10 years ago. Especially in low light (e.g.

Selecting an engineer doesn’t absolve the board of the responsibility to choose the right guy. There are incompetent engineers, unethical engineers and there are engineers who are bad leaders. But an accountant as CEO is not going to restor

Every Lincoln, Cadillac, Acura, Infiniti, Lexus, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, GMC, Porsche, etc. you see on the road represents someone who decided to spend more money than “needed” on transportation, simply for their own enjoyment or pleasure. And

There’s no indication that the catastrophic failure you’re speculating about here is actually likely to occur - and plenty of evidence that it’s not.

The question is how often this failure will occur when the pilots fail to turn off the switch. Given that the 737 Max 8 and 9 are currrently flying with this defect and no damage has been reported, let alone failures, the actual likelihoo

A reminder that there is no quantitative process here whatsoever and these people simply pick a number from thin air and then use it as an opportunity to talk about themselves and their opinions.

Did you read the whole thing? Boeing removed the bolts to fix another issue around the door and neglected to reinstall them.

A corporation can represent the interests of hundreds or thousands of people - investors, shareholders, employees, customers (who depend on the product), etc. The larger corporations, even more so. But still, the Congressional office buildi

The system requires criminal defense attorneys to lobby for their client, even if this results in objectively bad outcomes in specific situations. Similarly, the system requires that anyone (including shareholders or employees of companies)

Do you get upset at criminal defense lawyers who defend people who are obviously guilty (i.e. by getting clear and convincing evidence disqualified because of a procedural error?) Or, would you say something like "The outcomes are not

I don't think that's particularly surprising to anyone. This is such an unproven platform, and no one is really risking market share or revenue by taking a "wait and see" approach to launching an app for a $3,500 device

The absolute impact of this situation is pretty minimal, as the reality remains that only two people have died on a US airline flight in the past 15 years. There’s a lot of outrage in forums like this, where everyone is suddenly an expert

The idea that anyone is signaling wealth or status with a $150 electronics purchase is kind of ludicrous. I feel like people who believe other people are buying Apple products merely as a status symbol, are projecting their own insecurities

They announced the Roadster 7 years ago. I would say this falls squarely in the camp of "not delivered". 7 years is an entire model generation for the broader car industry. Other manufacturers have announced, delivered, and announ

The Roadster 2.0 seems unlikely to ever ship at this point. And they took $50,000 deposits for it or something. FSD is unlikely to ever ship as promised.

Am I the only one that didn’t know the price differed between locations? I just assumed that, other than airports and other special cases like that, the prices were set nationally.

The angle here is that there's a pervasive undercurrent in most discussions of media (and copyright, piracy, etc.) that seems to presume that consumption of music, TV shows, and movies produced by multinational corporations is as essen

It's not really about the door plug per se, it's about how Boeing's entire manufacturing, design and QA process could allow such an elementary mistake to escape notice in the first place. If they got this wrong, what other bo

Just your regular friendly reminder that you don't need to consume any of this garbage at all. Go read a book! Play a video game!
