The tweet is to be taken about as literally as "fuck you", but unsurprisingly that fact is being gleefully ignored. It's getting old anyhow. Shouldn't the outrage crowd have found something new by now?

You're attacking a strawman. Nobody "refuses to acknowledge" any of that. To many, missing out on the upsides is simply preferable, because they consider those powers falling into the hands of a bad government an unacceptable

Yeah, there's multiple variations of that bug possible depending on what you set first, so setting these in that specific order likely avoided one bug they noticed. They just didn't realize they have a different bug now.

Given that the ex gratia payment per falsely killed Arab is generally less than $5k, sometimes less than $200, often nothing, I'm sure that's even less of a concern.

It may hurt economically by affecting things like aviation, but is unlikely to directly cause any loss of life. Humans aren't very sensitive to indirect loss of life that only shows up in statistics. It's similar to blowing up R

Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly?) it's not the first time that question has come up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_selfie_copyright_disput... Note that this also may have implications for AI-generated work.

I'll add to that: 3. Pretty much all of Airbus is unionized, vs. only 1/3rd at Boeing. If "unions bad", Airbus aircraft should have had dozens more major issues in the previous decades.

Some of the aviation lingo (though aviation isn't alone here) always makes me smile. Does "fell off" sound too pedestrian? "Quality escape" is a fun one too: they're bending over backwards to not have the term
