Safety isn’t as high a priority for military aircraft, except in that losing an aircraft is expensive. Military pilots know that they are expected to die for the mission if necessary.

Revenue doesn’t really matter, it’s profit that matters. They can’t discount 50% because they couldn’t even make the planes for that.

Reality: they were exactly right, because “we” isn’t Boeing, “we” is James McNerney, former CEO of Boeing. Between when the 737 MAX 8 entered production, and he retired as CEO, he was paid $80 million. You think he has to deal with any of t

Is this a satire, or is there something about low frequency audio that physically changes the cheese?

Make this work for everything in my pantry and you have a customer. Order me a Whole Foods order that has the breadcrumbs, ketchup, and canned beans that I’m low on.

The flip side is that every non approved opinion is now a “troll.” I responded to someone on Twitter saying that I didn’t think the Mueller investigation would amount to much and I got called a Russian troll. It’s a way of pretending that o

Just like you can have a solo “entrepreneur” who doesn’t actually have any revenue but acts “corporate” in a suit talking about his synergistic strategic partnerships, you can have the opposite.

The first fatal crash of the 777 was actually Asiana 214 and that was complete pilot error. I think you’re referencing MH370 a few months later.

They have the most diverse set of businesses of any company, so this makes sense.

“Panics that easily”? With two aircraft going down? If this was the criterion, how many such false panics would have happened in the last 30 years?

Would you say the same thing about say, the electrical grid?

I rip the FAA for that. The level of air safety we have is because we have traditionally protected it fiercely. Within minutes of the second plane going down, the type should have been grounded until the FAA could figure out whether they we

Almost nobody would pay $3 either, so $19 could be optimal pricing. (i.e. 1 in a million people pays $19, but only 5 in a million pays $3).

Facebook has to hire thousands of engineers per year. They may incorporate more Erlang into Facebook, but they have to have a core tech stack that can easily onboard engineers from a variety of backgrounds. I don't have the foggiest id

Facebook is not a “PHP codebase.” I’d guess that fewer than 0.01% of CPU cycles at Facebook are used by PHP.

By that logic the 2020 Toyota Camry is also “vaporware.”

Now you just need a tool that OCR’s screenshotted playlists and imports them... at which point Spotify will start using a less legible font... the end State will be that Spotify’s main font will be “Captcha”

A Ghana office would be presumably to recruit Africans, not African Americans. There is a difference :)

Our family was scheduled to fly Southwest this month. Checked the flights and sometimes they’re 737 Max 8’s. Cancelled the flights last night.

Countries often oversubsidize homesteaders at the edges of their territory for strategic protection of that territory. If another country wants to encroach on land it’s much harder with a population there. Russia is seeing this encroachment

Does the media cover stories in a way that fits the narrative? Yes, but in this case, Facebook owns all the blame. They used to be on the golden side of the narrative (boy genius connecting the world) and got to the bad side entirely throug

Was it in a multi unit building? A guy renting out one condo has an incentive to avoid letting it sit. But a person renting 100 units in a building would rather have it sit than rent it out for $100 less and then having every future (and pe

The challenge here is that what makes a great touchpad (unbroken surface) is the opposite of the keyboards I like (gaps between keys). I’m interested to try this to see if they’ve cracked that nut.

Copyright? There’s no copyright infringement in writing “Black Lotus” on an actual genuine Magic card. That will never stick.

When they say “Constructed” is expensive because you have to acquire the cards ahead of time... why don’t tournaments allow you to play with cards where you’ve just scribbled with Sharpie whatever card you want it to act as?

Yikes! Bad day for the PR flack who pitched this story. She probably didn’t think the headline would end up “she takes what you’ve told Facebook and sells it to luxury brands.” Goes to show how once you’ve gotten on the wrong side of the na

She’s using the Trump strategy of extreme policy proposals as a way of drawing out a base that is sufficient to win in a highly crowded field.

But the liberals think the conservatives are dumb enough to actually believe that Obama is Kenyan. And the conservatives think the liberals actually think that a guy like Trump is suitable material for a KGB asset.
