Lion Air asked, Boeing declined. Of course some person at Lion Air asked and some person at Boeing declined. That doesn't make a difference. These persons where talking for Boeing.

Here in Germany there is a big TV ads campaign by Apple focusing on privacy. At least their marketers seem to believe that there is a large enough groundswell to justify a campaign.

They had however incidents involving underfueled machines. And there's the problem for Boeing: They better make sure that no more MAX's fall out of the sky due to their fault otherwise airlines will skip the machines. What would h

On the other hand carbon chemistry is the center of expertise for biochemists. They hardly know anything else. As well, carbon chemistry is rich under earth conditions (temperature and pressure wise). We simply don't know for others.

Who gets to decide who are terrorists and who are not? And based on what evidence? For very good reasons we have due process for that when it comes to our judicial system. As well the killings proceeded by the US are outside established int

I have much trouble to understand what is meant by the "browse-up" scenario. If it's "don't use devices being able to download stuff from the internet" I would deem this extremely impractical advice.

Implicit casts are both convenient and evil. JavaScript deserves its own place for it. I've never understood why any language does this. To save a few keystrokes? Code is much more read than written.

A great deal of (19th century) thermodynamics has its roots in the desire to engineer better steam engines. Entropy as an example has been introduced as an abstract concept to get to engines with better efficiency. Even when statistical the

But that's like telling me "run faster" if I am complaining that I can't run 100m in 10sec. I would think that almost all theoretical work revolves around resolving inconsistencies (such as between quantum field theory a

It'd be interesting to know how provenance and originality is ensured. Locating the scene of footage is certainly part of it but how is ensured that footage from an original location has not been altered. A state sponsor would certainl

A great deal of procedures focus on failure scenarios. If these are different, then the MAX is procedurally different from the NG.

Afaik the bacteria and yeasts required are part of the flour used. When I prepared my sourdough I had it covered all the time which worked just fine. No need to use whole grain flour, too. I use the rougher type of rye flour (1150 in German

A tree map is O(n*log n) on inserts, though. For a hash map to be faster, you'd need to trade memory for speed, i.e have significantly more buckets than the expected size. This may however collide with good caching performance which I

If you don't like vim for that you can point to another executable by setting gitconfig core.editor to an executable command which starts an editor of your choice. Mine points to Notepad++ (Windows box with msysgit installed).

Sounds a bit like another attempt of Boeing to blame pilots (reacting not fast enough). Pilots cannot react correctly to a system they have no knowledge of. NYT could have done a better job in pointing out that the observed failure mode of

Not only Boeing lost public trust but presumably the FAA as well. At least outside US this may have even more severe implications. Boeing better not loses one more plane due to design issues.

I wish that was part of the Javadoc. I just looked up the Javadoc for jdk8 and URL, URL.equals and URL.hashCode and I would have no idea that it does DNS requests. I am a very seasoned Java dev (since 2001) and I am sure I read at one time

In my experience it is better to support parsing some CSV formats compared to none at all. The UI should make transparent what format is expected. The main culprit is Excel which does its quirks (localized for one!) to the exported CSV beca

true, but does someone do it? I remember that auditing Truecrypt was already a substantial deliberate undertaking. And that' not even taking into account that it might be possible to push something different to each user.

But what will playing that card have as a consequence? Any technology having the slightest tie to China would be banned. That's very short of economical suicide. That one could only be pulled in an all out war. It's not a credible
