Went looking for some smart-ass pull request (tongue in cheek) and was gladly surprised there were some! Alas, just proof reading changes and such.

Wasn't there something with an overheating or leaking fuel tank too?

Since TFA reports two sats being in `TESTING` mode (whatever that is), could this be that they have a fix that they are testing on those two satellites before deploying to the others? Ie the problem is on the satellite and not ground-based?

Admitting culpability more or less admits financial responsibility as well. If Boeing would say "we're at fault", people would sue them (more than now) and have greater chance at winning those lawsuits, since Boeing already a

Sounds like an environmental nightmare. It may be a drip in an ocean, but it's so completely unnecessary. Or am I missing something, apart from the human psyche ("it feels more fresh that way!")?

I'd say, use a site/service to check prices and get notifications when they change. I use psdeals.net (no affiliation or such). There I have a list of games I'm interested in and get an email whenever the price goes down. Tha

Don't give it internet access. You don't even need to give it network access if you use a chromecast.

I think the article lifts a good point: since it's necessary, why not automate this process in the TV? And what do you do if this process returns positive (ie compromised)?

I wouldn't be surprised if that would be the next step - monitor content analysis for ad targeting. There are already mouse and keyboard drivers (logitech iirc) that report back to the mothership, and smart TVs (vizio iirc) that analyz

You pay. The idea is that your future pension is paid by yourself gradually over your productive years. Generally speaking of course - some have no work ever, some do and pay more, some die before they get some of it, and so on. Complex cal

Perhaps this is their focus. Not FF monitor, but privacy. Going up against/with Apple as a privacy-conscious alternative to Chrome etc. From that viewpoint, this is in line with that.

Ouch. Good analog to when the metric is of highest importance rather than the spirit the metric is supposed to capture. Eg "be productive programmer" -> "code commits per time unit" -> bork.

Sometimes the desired result is not known ahead, at project start, and twisting and turning is part of the process of (hopefully) ending up with something that people are happy with. It's just part of human nature and needs to be embra

Similar thing there - the model was delayed and thus likely high pressure and incentives internally to get on with it. According to the article, a series of fires didn't stop Boeing from allowing the plane to keep flying or to be sold,

The MCAS will likely be fixed in a way that makes it reliable and dependable. Boeing wouldn't dare anything else since there are a lot of eyes on them and how they handle this now. What worries me is not the MCAS (now), but what else m

Not really the best way going forward, jamming. Working around it is too easy. Cent-cost radio parts are widely available and are easy to build with. Trying to jam the entire band from 100 MHz to 2.5 GHz is fruitless. A terrorist doesn&#x27

Perhaps google/apple, from looking at the traffic. But the random app from a close-to-anonymous publisher don't see the traffic (unless they VPN your device), but they may see the accelerometer data.

It's the same in the car industry, unfortunately. Many options that are more or less pure safety-only, and not convenience, are not included unless you open up a little more. It economically (to the car industry) may make sense (opt up
