I recently got a 2017 Google pixelbook to replace Razer stealth 2017 that I unsuccessfully tried to replace 2017 MBP with. Similar to OP (little less emotion maybe), I flashed coreboot[0][1] on it and installed Ubuntu[2] (display brightness

If most 2019 Bay Area IPOs succeed, some say this will introduce over 10,000 new millionaires to Bay Area [0]. And most of them are unlikely to leave and quite a few will likely want to have a house. I can only guess how this will impact ho

What have others switched to from MBP? How do you like them? I know, trackpads are inferior, but other than that. I went from 2017 MBP /w keyboard and display issues to 2017 razer stealth, which I didn’t like (heavy, keyboard not to my

Whoopsie. Caught cold turkey I admit. But for what it’s worth, for text editor and text message spelling autocorrect, auto detect would be nice, even if off-topic.

Please add to the list: Auto detect language! It’s super frustrating when you try to write to your German friend and autocorrect just keeps mutilating perfectly good German words into gibberish (e.g. it’s trying to autocorrect to English et

Those who graduated got in with false premise and took away opportunity from someone else. They got the education, that must be worth something. But the degree, it belongs to someone else, and it should go. In no way has this been a victiml

No empathy. Kick those still in out, and revoke the degrees for those already graduated. In fact if these falsely admitted kids had any sense of decency, they would be now lining up to turn in their ‘credentials’ and degrees. Yes, some may

I certainly think that since they let unqualified kids in, somehow the curriculum had to adjust to, or already be of a lesser standard. To push it even further, why would I want to go to and pay for education in X when in fact now we know t

My armchair speculation finds it odd that there is no more discussion around unusually high airspeed and what is causing them early in the flight. E.g. it appears that both JT610 and ET302 hit ~300kts within ~2 minutes of flight[0][1] where

Discussion online and otherwise about these two accidents focus almost 100% around MCAS and angle of attack (AoA) sensor malfunction + pilot 'error' [due to insufficient training]. For the sake of further speculation: what are the

So you let in people with dubious qualification that wouldn’t have met the entry requirements. Yet they seem to graduate from these schools. Therefore curriculum must be simple enough that even less qualified|gifted|hardworking can pass. Ho

Are there any statistics available for how often there has been a need for a pilot to disengage MCAS? If we speculate (e.g. before the facts are in) that this was similar in cause to Lion air incident, then I would be curious to know how of

I used to think that 90 days is quite unfair. And in many ways it can be. But it’s a great equalizer. And that way no one company can claim that some other company got preferential treatment. And everyone by now knows that that’s what it’s
