It is easy to be shills for Marxism and blame the United States, but such blame is hollow. Venezuela is in its dire condition because it, like its Russian, Cuban, and Chinese allies, is led by a Mafia pretending to be a government. I hope

Smear? No, own the facts: Huawei phones (and Chinese phones generally) collect data for the Chinese police state.

Do tell, why my Huawei P30 Pro should contact Chinese servers without my awareness or consent?

Work smarter, not harder, folks. The 996 culture will kill you. Burning your time with too many things, inefficiently, will kill you. If you don't draw a boundary around your rest, and defend it, you're gonna lose years of life

Alright, Southwesties, have fun with those Maxes. It is not surprising that the company has gone all-in on the 737 Max, as it went all-in on the 737 from the start. It is the primary reason Boeing continued the type versus creating a repl

This is just Sino brainwashing in the East as workers in the West move toward a four day week. Does anyone really expect the 996ers, on their death beds, will say, "I'm sure glad I made oligarchy great again. I regret not going

"Slackers" is an easy criticism from a CEO who benefits from his employees trading their lives for a thin illusion of wealth. Are you 996ers a bunch of wage-slaving mice or are you humans, and what the fuck are you worth?

Richard Liu and Jack Ma can go f* themselves. The 996ers are living empty lives, for what? The same kind of dream held by heroin addicts. "Those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger often ended up inside"

After about three or four sentences, I knew I was going to like what Brian Pennie was bringing. There are times when you must bulldoze your life in order to live. Indeed... "Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall

It appears that there is a cycle of seat pitch in the airline industry. Does anyone here remember the enforced increase in seat pitch after the AA accident in Little Rock? That has slowly eroded despite lawsuits and proposed rules favorin

LOL, it is a low calorie article. An org like China Labor Watch probably has more in depth data.

What? Nobel winners and moon travelers have espoused religious ideas and talked of God, creation, and conversion. So, education is not really a factor (not even if you expand the sample size to include moderately educated and non-elite pe

Bye bye and good riddance to "near beer." Celebrate with cold bubbly IPA, or perhaps a stout.

They are fucked, as they will graduate to the world of "996" and still live a dismal life. Such are the ways in cultures with a steep "power gradient." If all persons are not created equal, then someone deserves steak

You should see the cages people are willing to occupy in Hong Kong. Once you cross the border into the PRC, some people are willing to live in even harsher conditions. I don't think there is a hard limit as to what humans will endure

That pilot won't disclose the airline, but the list of companies that based or deadhead pilots into LAX trips on the B737-Max is pretty short. Forty-five minutes from report time to push time narrows it down more. That company has qui

Noah Smith is out of his mind for putting China at the top of the list. How much did the CCP pay him for his "Up and coming superpower" characterization of a dystopian corrupt, fascist, totalitarian police state? By the way, Shen

Indeed, an example of hospitality and individual kindness to bring a smile to the face of even hardened skeptics. I've been to the airport a few times, and believe it is the typical good nature of people there.

Do some serious homework on the markets before putting that 500k on the line. Some, but not all, and probably not half of the stocks in the S&P 500 will continue to gain this year. Bonds have run up recently, so they also have more im

At 1:33:00 Davies gives an essential argument about the dangers of compromise, the nonsense of "equivalent level of safety." Compromise a little here, a little there, so why not shitcan the whole project? The Boeing 707-336 stick

It sure appears that the 707 flew like a truck. Not simply a truck, but a truck with too small a rudder. Davies certainly didn't like the low V speeds / difficult controllability in the original version. You know there's a

At about 1:08:00 Davies tells a great account of a crew hand flying a Brittania 300 from Heathrow to Vancouver, arriving on fumes. Ha! They started without chocks (or brake pressure) and almost rolled into concrete blocks on the apron.

WTF kind of silly question, asking why a "woman in her 50's would get a ham radio license." The questioner must not really understand radio or cumputer technology. Covert comms are pretty easy using Tor, Telegram, or numero

It is a showing of poor attitude to say, "oh, mistakes happen" when missing such an important detail. Those companies need to stop tripping over themselves in eagerness to satisfy that Orwellian distopia called China.

Shutting down Facebook Live is rather extreme, isn't it? FB didn't waste time removing offensive content when it was reported. Who wants their social media to be a monitored, censored, walled garden as is WeChat? If we must endu

Let's put that one next to the CABIN ALTITUDE and TAKEOFF CONFIG lights. Those came from crashes where the warning horn was dual purpose: improper takeoff configuration or cabin pressure corresponding to an altitude over 10000 feet. I
