From what I’ve read some of the safety systems did not give real-time feedback and the critical error occurred because the operators didn’t know they were in trouble due to lack of real-time feedback. I’m not an engineer and know nothing o

I don’t grade on a curve. Each person’s grade is independent of each other student. There is no competition for grades as such. Me sucking as a teacher is a different matter. My question to you. Given what I implied about pay and what I

At my salary? Not worth the trouble. Especially since no one in the chain of command wants to deal with it and nothing of real consequence will happen. The problem is far greater than me and it’s not worth it to try to care.

I teach at a college. I stopped caring about cheating a while back. It’s not worth the hassle of reporting a student who cheats and the college needs students. College is being treated as a business and the client is the student.

Telling a white male student, You are only a double Ivy because of privilege is just as bad as telling a black student they are a double Ivy because of affirmative action. Saying, “the statistics show that black double Ivy’s occur mostly

From the article: Wax presumably knew something more than we do of the student’s qualifications in making the statement. But even if she didn’t, how can her assertion that a black student with two Ivy League schools on her resume is likel

I believe you are wrong about the causes of the Chernobyl disaster. The consensus these days is that it was due to poor reactor design.

I remember when Palin ran for Vice President she had a day of interviews for local media types from various parts of the country. She did a number of consecutive interviews and in one made a dumb mistake conflating North Korea with South K

I’m not an economist. A number of respected economists believed a year ago that inflation was mostly supply chain issues and was transient. Now, with new information, opinions are changing. I believe the monetary stimulus mostly occurred

If it was caused by money injection into the U.S. economy then how do you explain inflation being a worldwide phenomenon? Quite a few experts believe a year ago that inflation was a result of imbalance in supply chains due to lockdowns. N

In January of 2007 President Bush said the economy was doing fine. Much later in the year the NBER said that the recession began in January. Was Bush lying or did he lack foresight? Determining when a recession began usually happens afte

Do you have evidence she was lying versus being wrong? A number of notable economists thought inflation was transitory. It’s hard to predict things like the effect the war in Ukraine would have and the effect the shipping industry doing i

It seems NATO needs to either go all out and give Ukraine as much weapons as possible in the hopes of attaining a Russian defeat before winter or let Russia do as it wants in Ukraine. The Germans in particular have been tepid in giving Ukr

This is all just my preference and opinion. Smoking likely would have been banned eventually under regulation. I think the smoking issue is orthogonal to the discussion. Your other points stand and I was thinking only about domestic flig

I prefer coach during regulation to first class now.

Adding on to your well stated points. Today we have to pay for Pre Check in order to have an experience that is still worse than the status quo ante. We are paying for a less bad experience.

Yes and it’d be good from an environmental point of view if it had remained so. Even discounting the environmental aspect I still wish for the days of regulation. The cheaper air fares with the accompanying horrible experience is not wort

I remember flying during regulation and I wish we’d go back to those days. Flying back then was so much better.

Thank you for your response. In my response to you I had to edit it to remove some incorrect statements. I had to do that because I read into what you wrote some implications that you clearly did not intend. It’s so easy to do that.

I didn’t use the word “terrorism” in regards to the British Army. I said the British Army got away with heinous murders too. So did loyalist terrorist groups. The British Army colluded with loyalist terrorist groups and innocents died as

I think there must be a number of hours of streaming per month for one account beyond which it is unprofitable for Netflix. I think they are trying to get more accounts below this number.

It wasn’t a line of reasoning or a justification. I was not justifying anything or arguing for or against anything. Web services are already location bound. For example, there are YouTube videos available in the U.S. but not in Russia. I’

The British Army got away with heinous murders too. So did loyalist terrorist groups. At some point both sides need to move on if peace is to be obtained. I like what Ghandi said: An eye for an eye makes the world blind.

I suspect there are also people who share their account out of inertia. Some kids go off to college and stay on their parents’ account. Sometimes they don’t think about it since the password is stored on the app. Also, Netflix might be lo

The comment you responded to was neither arrogant or superfluous. Prior to the internet people had cable TV subscriptions for their house and vacation house. The norm was TV subscription being location based. Now with the internet that c

The U.S. Constitution badly needs to be updated. It needs to spell out more clearly the role of the Supreme Court and how many justices it should have. It needs to more clearly state the manner in which the Senate gives advice and consent

One can find instances of corruption in any party that has sufficient power. Key members of the Republican Party tried to overthrow the government on January 6, 2021 so from my perspective the Republican Party is the one more deserving of
