Well not 100%, I was talking about reputation. Most brands have certain attributes associated with them, for Boeing safety was one of those attributes. Just like reliability is an attribute you would associate with Toyota, but perhaps not w

https://airlinelist.com/ I'm not sure about serious accidents, but there seems to be many airlines with no fatalities in the past 40 years. But perhaps Qantas just stays #1 since it has had no jet-plane crash (and no c

You may very well be correct; and Ryanair might be a very safe airline (despite not being listed high on the safety rankings). Although that does beg the question of why they are not, but that's not really the point IMO. But the Qantas

Excellent move! Who's gonna know that the next "8" crash is actually another "MAX" crash?

> Ryanair has a significantly better safety record than all of the "safest" airlines on that list Qantas has not had a fatality since 1951 (Ryanair was founded in 1984); so that cannot possibly be true.

All confidence is lost in that plane at this point. The more they keep pushing to get that aircraft back on its wings, the less keen we will all be to fly with anything named 'Boeing'

Exactly, it would be hard to argue that most appendix removals are ineffective.

That certainly seems like a complex problem to solve :-)

Never thought about the problem of compound words like that before. Every time I read about this problem I'm impressed about the solutions; but I'm also reminded of a comment that I think I saw on Reddit. > Learn how to spell,

I guess that airline really feels somewhat left out as many of the "national" ones (Lufthansa, SAS etc.) are getting enormous amounts of money as Corona relief, while they are on their own. Too bad they are making up for the diffe

Didn't Ryan Air just buy 75 of these?

You're probably correct. It really makes you think twice about setting up some of those cloud services without a hard limit cutoff.

Ah, that's the loophole in Microsoft's bug-reporting. It's not just hard to file bug-reports, you have to find ways to exploit every bug in a way that make them security issues :-) > and get Microsoft to fix it or even pay

I'm sure that was an important factor, but wouldn't this in any case just be a bill to a startup with no money on hand? It's hard to make companies (without money) economically responsible for anything I guess, it even seems

Yes that should be possible. Unfortunately I was in the opposite position, i.e. I had to make this browser look normal by hiding all of its misbehaviors, not try to exploit them :-)

The sad news was that this browser was the recommended browser to use inside the company as it worked best with "Sharepoint". Basically a total hack was required for every AJAX request that could return input fields with non-ASCII

There are so many ways to tax the wealthy that would "work". But as long as the rich have way more influence on how society is organized than than the poor or middle class, it's just very difficult to do anything about it.
