Boeing has experienced hundreds of major technical incidents but scant few were covered before the MAX crashes. Dozens and dozens more happened after the crashes.

And I wonder which subcontractor made those. DuCommun by hand perhaps like with the 737 NG bear straps?

Yep. Oddly enough, I started collecting vintage FireWire gear for retro PC stuff.

Overpriced.

Spend less money and acquire things of durable value.

The thing is engineers must band together to independently replace the structures of corporations with employee-owned co-ops and join unions. Without sharing the profits and stable governance, arbitrary layoffs and ill treatment will contin

Moral of the story: Don't give away significant % of one's salary so willingly without assurances to subsidize the adversarial gotcha capitalism game.

So is a good portion of the state. Not really all that meaningful.

It doesn't have to be because proximity to meadows or forests in Texas have enormous biodiversity. My mom's tiny 1/3 acre home killed a good 1 lbs. / 1 cu ft of flying critters in one day with a bug zapper.

Yesterday, I learned most all outdated presidential limos are destroyed and so aren't present in any museum.

The sooner Americans don't have an unauthenticated, reused, primary key and serial number, the better.

I would fear the dishwasher would rust my Sunbeam vintage toaster.

Yep. It works with Democracy Now!'s web player.

That's really a solved problem. As an example, Google manages to have a web version of Youtube that works on iOS mobile Safari adequately. (It's not perfect but it works.) There doesn't seem to be anything snowflake special t

Exactly, it doesn't need native access to every bit of hardware to fulfill the needs of a simple app. If needed, Mobile Safari can do push notifications.[0] 0. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifica

Apple's mobile Safari has enough capabilities to serve a mobile-like simple app for managing a subscription service.

It's monopolistic extortion.

by bankcust08385 2y ago
Yep. If I were Patreon, I would ditch the iOS app. Apple doesn't deserve a 30% gotcha capitalism mafia extortion fee.

The fallacy employed is even dumber than that: Ban or destroy all nerd magic wands and hacking happening anywhere and everywhere else in the world will stop.

by bankcust08385 2y ago
The cargo culting demonization of arbitrary components, devices, and supplies by people who believe hacking is unlimitedly-powerful magic is laughable.

That's okay. That's what the Feds are for when there is state-level corruption. (When Spotting the Fed may actually also be useful.)

I guess they're trained that electrical engineers are the same as pedophiles.

DEF CON should just permanently move to somewhere awesome like Santa Fe NM or San Marcos TX.

That's still not specific enough. Any leading part of the torso, centroid, or average of the leading edge of it?

by bankcust08385 2y ago
It's far better than constants like NEVER_USE_OR_MODIFY_OR_YOU_WILL_BE_FIRED that are supposedly for testing only but turn out to be used in production to control whether a beta feature appears or not, and so lead to a bunch of dead co

I'm still left wondering how the position of a runner is calculated: Is it any leading part, centroid, leading non-appendage, nose, or something else?

So would your holiness care to change her password? Once upon a time, I ran ypcat passwd and piped it into John the Ripper on the CompSci Linux cluster at one of the University of California campuses. Within 90s, I had amassed passwords o
