Airlines Shouldn’t Be Banks

5% margins? Becoming banks? Scarce innovation in the space? Lack of cleanliness on airplanes? How depressed every other attendant seems to be these days? The safety issues we’re seeing with counterfeit parts?

Right. So they should ignore their core competency and operational excellence and become banks. Got it.

Of course it's about the money. But wait, if these folks were so brilliant, couldn't they just do their own thing instead of throwing their weight behind an incumbent, bloated, legacy giant? Let alone their talent going to /d

Yup. Guess this is yet another moment to tell the next generation about it.

This doesn't surprise me, because unlike Google, they actually have an innovative contribution in production; and given all the evidence, it ain't gonna' be cancelled any time soon.

Reminder that Google is utterly a joke. Effectively infinite cash. Among the first-movers in the space. Literally nothing in full-scale production to show for it. And today, beat by Zipline. Yet almost every CS major at Stanford still stays

What sort of stuff do you do to make sure those are services hardened? And what kinds of services? I've been meaning to create such a setup, but am a bit concerned about vulnerabilities.

fwiw, ATT charges me $15 for ~8 fixed ipv4 addresses on my gigabit plan. Even if we amortize against the total monthly bill of $113, we get ~$15 per IP. EDIT: I guess this is the cost to _rent_ an IP per month and not the cost of _owning_ a

Some folks get upset when something is reasonably experienced as outrageous and not merely to agitate others. Some folks also seem to find it reasonable to let others know when something is unsafe. Seen in that light, I don’t really see an

It’s depressing to me how few folks are willing to tolerate “meandering prose” from folks they respect. There seems to be a complete lack of understanding that this approach has been powerful for so many. It seems to me that hardly anyone a
