"Instead of dual AOA sensing, let's use one for MCAS, on each leg alternating the one used. We can score better on weight and complexity. Beautiful -- What could go wrong?" Such decisions are akin to playing a lottery of de

One point five million uploads and counting. What a fucking waste of time, CPU cycles, and bandwidth. For Facebook, it is Whack-a-mole on steroids and meth. Yet politicians still seem to want more, something along the lines of no anonymit

What's this? More debate and argumentation that the Feds didn't wait excessively long before grounding the 737 Max 8? There is no way to prove such a thing. May as well play the lottery and hope not to win the jackpot, though s

Rule one for a happy life and peaceful afterlife: stay off of Weibo, WeChat, Reddit, the Chans, and other social media. Where there is injury, trolls rush in with salt. Have a little hardness of heart, for a bit of "fuck you too"

That problem of modern complications and a kludge of "modules" or "units" as remedies is the central problem of the 737 MAX. Why? Because Southwest and a few other customers wanted the 737 pushed, beaten, hacked, and m

The article rings very true, about the wumao and other trolls infesting reddit. Go back to about 2016 and note the trends through today. Subreddits r/china, r/sino, and r/worldnews have seen an obvious influx of postings pus

Ineffective. Circumventing government imposed website blocks is trivially easy. It is a waste to even try.

This is a "fifth risk" scenario, where the FAA misjudges other countries' aviation authorities as mere America bashers. The Feds also misjudge their own threat environment, gambling that the rate of hull losses due to MCAS p

Be aware; the list contains a number of events involving the B737-800, which is an NG aircraft, not the MAX.

Consider fentanyl to be a weapon against the West, which China has no intention of curtailing. If people are to stop dying, they MUST find a way to not use it. Get off fentanyl or die. Get off fentanyl and find a way to live, and take the

More propaganda from vested interests who thrive where human rights and rule of law are absent. If you want to see the Chinese future, look at the Soviet Union, Venezuela, and even Iran and Saudi Arabia. Are there any reasonable people her

That is a trend. Ever been on one of China's subways or intercity trains? Scrutiny has increased over time, and the checks especially for intercity travel are near what one expects for a plane ride. A thorough security system would al

There are more airlines with similar policies. Take a look at companies operating in the Far East, and you'll find tight standards for both age and BMI. Often these go beyond health and into projecting a company image.

Xi should consider the effect of vastly reduced foreign trade after an attempt to take Taiwan by force.

We will soon notice whether the populist West will support government with the consent of the governed or stand by while Taiwan is thrown under the bus. The history of Crimea indicates that Taiwan's only hope is to aggresively apply vi

Trump can pardon a guilty verdict, but he cannot force charges to be dropped.

They are not stuck. They are adhering to the principle called rule of law, where the accused are extradited, tried in court, and guilt is based on evidence instead of family status.

I sense an argument that it would be easier for everyone to simply let Meng walk away. What, is she more special than another bloke who lies to the bank about transactions? If yes, let us flush rule of law down the toilet. Whoosh! Now th

That's a viewpoint of a bullshit legal system of thugs, based on the accused being guilty until proven innocent.

There may be an interesting market not only for simulated WWVB but WWV / WWVH if someone absolutely needs to sync from HF. Those HF signals are notoriously unstable in phase, so a locally simulated signal may actually be better. Here&

WWV, WWVH, and WWVB are more than charity for timekeepers. They distribute time and frequency, traceable to a national standard, for one leg of "positioning, navigation, and timing." Before GPS and the internet, numerous services
