   Revenue. Hard to manipulate (and doing so is illegal in itself), easy to measure and the top line is where it hurts. And no, I don't think fines should be high enough to destroy businesses the same way a speeding or parking ticket shou

   So, I hold, I am super rich you know, 10% of Airbus. Now Airbus is fined billions by authorities for violating export control laws, engaged in bribery and other stuff. Some that was done by local sales entities. How exactly can I, even as o

   Because as a shareholder, I have zero influence on whether or not the company violates laws?

   And now you are mixing free cash flow, with revenue, with profits...

   Thr EU is fining EU based companies as well. And all Big Tech companies have offices in the EU. The way proper legal systems work, is both sides litigate a case if they see a chance of winning it, goes for both involved parties. As much as

   The moment people fail to differentiate between revenue and profit, one can safely ignore the rest of the article.

   Reminds me of a scenario that I was asked once in an assessment center (a military one): Ypu are defending a bridge, the last one across the river, the enmy is approaching, refugees are on tje bridge, the enemy crossing would mean the front

    Two things: Israeli or not, Wix still has to adhere to local labour laws. And support for Israel is less than early on, I've seen an article by WaPo the other day calling the plan some Israeli ministers have for Gaza ethnic cleansing

    Well, there is a difference between criticising government policies and people or groups of people. Or harrassing someone.

    Sacrificing one life for money? Easy, derail the trolley regardless of cargo. Anyway, as philosophical or moral problem, the trolley question just sucks.

    There are very different ways of marketing. Just thing about how often Tesla is discussed on HN. Mercedes is for its self-driving, only to have a 50% discussion about Tesla each time, while VW is discussed at a distant third place for its o

    Well, maybe on average you'll be fine? This is not exclusively a Tesla problem so. As long as the speed limit is only displayed, I am fine with it. What I am not ok with, is the car enforcing it. Edit: If Tesla isn't reading signs

    The alerts stuff is not only Tesla so. What really is annoying, is cars reading speed limits and traffic signs, and then forcing that on drivers. I am fine with alerting me to it, e.g. displaying a speed limit. If I ignore that or not is

    Sure, book an airline that doesn't have MAXes in their fleet. Only to find out that their partner airline do in fact.

    Thanks for reminding me, this is such old history facts get fuzzy in my memory. Not to say that Airbus military plane record is spot less, but the A330 MRTT seems to be a decent plane. I hate to see Boeing having all these problems, most of

    KC-46: The USAF had Airbus tankers on order, before Boeing sued and the cinzract was, surprise, awarded to Boeing again. So the USAF and Boeing share equal blame here. I have to read up on the F-15EX, generally so these kinds of upgrades ar

    And now compare the safety records, and number of plane crashes, between the 60s and today.

    Unless the legal fram work changes, it won't work. Airlines are totally allowed to book passeneges on other flights and to switch aircraft anytime the have to, want of feel like it. None of which is a reason to be reimbursed as a passe

    Perfect use for VC money: Reimburse customers when the airline switches planes or flights in perfectly legal manner and customers end up with a Boeing plane anyways.

    There is zero evidence an armed polulation does achieve that goal. It is a nice narrative so.

    We talk about the flamability difference between a carbon-composite and aluminium hull design. That fire had what, almost 20 minutes to burn before the cabin flashed?

    It crashes? But honestly, how would that happen? And close enough to a landing strip to land evacuate the plane?

    Society came to a point were nobody can be bothered with the smallest inconvenience anymore for something greater then oneself. Pretty sad actually.
