These planes run over $50 million each, and even a misprogrammed galley oven could potentially bring down a plane in flight. Given that, would you be happy that they outsourced any engineering in this way?

It also has a user interface. Are you saying it's possible to formally quantify human behaviour as well?

Actually, he sounds very good. The biggest problem in corporate environments is the amount of BS being spouted and people going along with said BS. When someone is actually honest and confronting issues, problems get fixed before they blow

I always hated the MagSafe connectors because I almost always used my laptop with the power connected but not on a table or other hard surface (eg a bed), and it would invariably fall off constantly.

> although why it would be placebo at 8 weeks but deemed not a placebo at 12 weeks I struggle to understand Because the placebo effect fades over time. The doctor has concluded that you'd be safely clear of it at 12 weeks.

Phones seemed to have settled on around 75 x 160 x 9mm, there is surprisingly little variation from that. Somewhere along the line they seemed to have decided that is as big as people will generally accept. As you say the battle now is on t

The US is the US, but in places like the EU and Australia, consumer level inter-bank transfers are now taking a few hours, minutes or seconds, at a price between free and less than $1. It's sort of a constructive proof that you don&#x2

The bar for success in your mind is suspiciously low.

Hmm... how often does a company fire a big customer? This would seem significant and probably related to either a pricing dispute or the fact that one way or another Amazon is encroaching on FedEx's core business.

All you really have to do is check that someone has already used a particular set of hardware with the level of support you desire, and you're golden. The software has improved a lot recently. Plugins like WhateverGreen and VirtualSMC

Yeah I have numerous copies. They're useful if the first one fails of course but also to try out updates of bootloader software or settings tweaks. But I really don't understand why people make their OS drive their boot drive. Bes

Your point is not valid. Try reading the UK press, like The Guardian and you'll see that's not the case.

Hackintosh software would just patch references to it. Defeating hardware DRM through software has a long history of success.

I agree with your first point, but strongly disagree with your remaining ones. For me at least, the process of putting together a hackintosh isn't very hard at all. First I research hardware that is compatible that I can source at a go

I don't think it's possible to make Hackintoshes impossible unless Apple stop supporting key hardware like Intel processors and controller hubs.

The immigration policies of the UK are very much not representative of other European countries.

You conveniently ignore the "political impact against one candidate" bit. So your statement only makes sense if you assume that all journalists are trying to influence politics to the benefit of their preferred candidate in their

Releasing emails from the DNC is one thing, but releasing them with timing especially to have maximum political impact against one candidate is another thing entirely.

Doing the Russians' bidding by enabling their interference in the US presidential election and openly stating his preference as to the result destroyed any possible credibility as a "journalist" and made him look very much li

Try anveo.com, they have numbers globally which start at less than $1 per month but with a setup fee of a couple of dollars and a per-minute fee of around 1 cent per minute. You can also pay more per month charges for no per minute charges.

The problem here is that once you give out a number then it's public in some sense. The person you give it to can pass it on, even inadvertently. The smart thing to do is to have a public number and a private number. It makes no sense

Shouldn't that sort of grading be on a bell curve? That would seem to be the fairest.

I don't know why you latched on to the notion that I was suggesting something dishonest. You might be prioritizing developing your product over making income, or reinvesting income rather than spending that income personally. Or you mi

If you pay yourself little enough you can get free or subsidised healthcare through Obamacare. There are no asset tests.

Yes, those were bribes that Airbus discovered in their sales department and reported to the authorities. The issue seemed to revolve around paying middlemen for introductions in certain countries.

If they have made agreements with victims that means they have been held accountable. Unless they've been represented poorly, these people likely are better off to the tune of well over a million dollars each. Of course they are also d

"Free for Developers" is misleading, since you can't distribute it with your software for free, or modify it, which is generally what developers want to do. It's essentially a trial.
