Right, which is why I'm saying that means there's been a failure scenario that existed even prior to MCAS . This is how they have demo'd the problem in some flight simulators for this. The electric trim can without MCAS erro

So if you run into this problem at 7,500’ above ground level you might just be okay. This is why having the ability to disable MCAS without disabling electric assisted trim is so important and such a big factor in this accident. Additionall

Nuclear power proponents don’t let emotion and fear get in the way of the facts. Nuclear power kills far far (far far far) less people than other forms of power generation. When it goes wrong it’s super scary looking, terrifying really, but

Yes, I tell people thinking about a boot camp to first try really damn hard to teach themselves first, then if they still want to, to just use something like Lambda School as interview preparation and to “credential” yourself.

It doesn’t sound strictly like a counter-point? More like we agree. As you say they weeded out those who had the capability from those who didn’t. Which in my experience is what bootcamps do, very expensively. Watching someone go through on

A lot of them do. This one seems like an outright scam, but for example well known boot camps like Lamba School put you through some tutorials and tests before hand. When you look at these tutorials it really seems to be a filter for “can y

The “anyone can code” and “just learn to code” phenomena needs to die in a fire. This reminds me of many other scams in our education system, it’s disgusting how much money is being leeched out of people on private “schools”. This “anyone c

I long for much more detail about the engineering of this project, in particular the traffic engineering and routing aspects. Theres so many interesting possibilities there.

I’m not an expert, but the 757 was a larger and heavier plane which changes the economics a lot. It also stopped production over a decade ago so restarting production would’ve been a challenge. On top of that as you said airlines wanted to

Had Boeing built the 737 at the time Airbus built the A320 they would've had a taller undercarriage also. For example the narrow body 757 built around the time of the A320 does have this. When the 737 was built back in the 60s it was i

Wow. I’ve admired that building a number of times when I’ve been in London. This is insane: “That’s not because the apartments haven’t sold. London land-registry records say that 76 had been by January 2013 for a total of $2.7 billion...”

I disagree with your conclusion that it’s “the stress system”, but even if so, that’s not a mental illness then. Whatever is going on in CFS isn’t causing behavior or mood etc. changes. It’s causing physical changes, such as the measurable

> The leading hypothesis remains that chronic fatigue syndrome is a mental illness. According to who? At least in the USA I see no evidence of that. The research is all pointing towards dysautonomia, dysimmunity, and metabolic issues.

That could still be very interesting. Eg. There are some other illnesses like MS where patients can get fatigued in a similar way to CFS, but not always. If we find a similar response between the fatigued and non fatigued MS patients for ex
