I await the day that Apple adds authentication chips to lenses and locks out 3rd parties. Basically it wouldn't be them to pass up a accessory sell opportunity.

By design, the base laws of the US make it hard to implement an authoritarian regime. But sprinkle some think of the children on top and bingo, pathway to North Korea opened.

That's the thing, Apple ended up with Goldman because all the usual credit card companies refused to work on Apple's terms. Apple went above and beyond a normal CC partnership by demanding terms on card issuance and card billing t

My solution was to get a stool so I can sit in the shower. I'll defend my right to relax in hot water and I'll fight to the death naked anyone that challenges me is my stance.

The remark about who eats the beer is about the fact baby boomer generation is in full swing retirement wave. As they retire they switch to fixed income and as they age, they will consume less beef, because their bodies won't keep up.

There was an actual engineer as CEO. They threw him under the bus for the 737 Max because 3 years in on the job and he was starting to ruffle the feathers of McDonnell Douglas.

In the commercial/industrial space, having the ability to do on-site QC visits of your supplier/manufacturer of goods is completely normal, often written into the contract itself and sometimes mandated by quality control certifica

>If what that commenter says is true, the whole company ought to be shut down. No it won't. Boeing has reached too big to fail status. They employ many millions of people directly and indirectly between commercial and military aeros

Meh the internet has already been fractured for many many years now. It's just people live in their own bubbles. Heck, people seem to forget that a billion people live behind the great firewall of China for over a decade.

MCAS was designed by engineers in response to a design problem. The MBAs elected to cover it up from the manual because that would hurt their sales goals of not needing pilot training. Yes, sales/marketing and management leeches have a

They don't put Boeing engineers in management or executive positions these days. Heck, they fired the last CEO over the 737 crashes but he was literally only on the job for 3 years and had no involvement with the 737 design. The proble

Eh Boeing has been having issues delivering Air Force contracts already. They fucked up QC on KC-46s so bad that the air force was basically getting free planes after fines were levied. The Air Force is different than airlines in the fact t

Baffling? It's software engineering being taxed exactly how all other forms of engineering R&D has been taxed for decades. Welcome to the maturity club.

Offering commercial support doesn't really help unless developers also take a hard stance at that point and immediately close all filed issues that aren't bugs. I do see that happen alot in OSS, too many people use issues as help

Personal engineering experiences, Boeing accepts QA reports from vendors without reading them. Airbus reviews similar reports and challenges the tiniest thing. Tis one of the many reasons I fly Airbus.

Apple spends a ton of money on marketing so people don't read their terms of service and privacy policy and realize it's not really any different from other companies.

GitHub is absolutely toxic which is why we develop on GitLab instead. The reduction in the slowly creeping "social features" and non-existence of drive-by activism is great.

The point is Close Pull Request shouldnt be an action. It's should only be a bool in some database column for project settings that turns off the entire functionality.

It's enshittification. The same way LinkedIn is being turned into ...generic social media, GitHub is slowly being eaten away into serving some executive's delusions.
