Metaphorical - the story of the professional who had to make way for the boss’s nephew who took a php course last week…

Maybe not too many improvements are needed anymore? And maybe it’s a viable business without being a “growth” space? Nah…

The amount they seem to have made from the offence is 45 million, so the fine is twice that plus some more. I guess the idea is that you fine them enough that this particular business they’re doing is no longer feasible and hope they drop i

Yeah, but try using them without _constant_ support and see… even for mature nodes, even with experienced teams you keep running into tool limits that make it impossible to get anything done without going back to support.

The board is supposed to act in the interest of _all_ shareholders, not just majority or controlling. Meaning, a group of minority shareholders could sue for discrimination as happened at Tesla recently. Also, I’m not sure of the ownership

I mean, there doesn’t seem to be a different amount of force necessary.

They did, about 10 seconds later (which is both incredibly short and an eternity). But the engines almost immediately start losing thrust and it takes them much more time to restart. At the end of the flight, FDR records that one engine was

You move those switches down apparently. I don't think so.

Different engine (those are Trents and this was a GEnx), but yeah, that _did_ happen.

Not difficult, but can you close an investigation on that note without going over other possibilities? What if there's another safety lesson to be learnt here?

In the last mentour pilot livestream, they showed the simulator and both engines, and there's a little graphic near the cutoffs showing engine state and performance. Also, in _this_ livestream as soon as the report was released, Ben me

What we have is reported speech: "In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so." So we don't know the exact words used. Did he

This is speculation again since I don't really know, but my understanding of aviation engineering is that there would be two separate controllers for each engine connected to these two switches. At no point would they be connected to t

My understanding from what we've been reading is that these are physical switches that cannot be moved using remote triggers. Wildly speculating, there _may_ be a possibility that the _effect_ of the switch may be triggered remotely, i

You can't yet - what we have is this sentence from the report: "In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so." It's not a

I say this as an LLM skeptic. All code, including stuff that we experienced coders write is inherently probabilistic. That’s why we have code reviews, unit tests, pair programming, guidelines and guardrails in any critical project. If you’r

Actually, there's a lot of investment dollars in the mid-east - maybe more than in much of the US, and it's actively looking for good ideas. Also, for certain types of business, the environment is probably more conducive there tha

You need to do those coffee dates and relationship building to figure out what (other) people want, so it's not even far removed from the philosophy you quote. Yeah, it's _ideal_ if you're your own customer and you have this

With air conditioning... It's quite a prestige thing to be able to afford the amount of cooling needed to wear a suit in a desert...

How is it unwanted to have a standardized database of _results_? They're partly going to be used in a federal context, right? We do this pretty decently in India - the results of pretty much every election run by the Election commissio

I for one have never successfully done anything with it. Couldn’t figure it out. But it does have a kernel, so…

The corner cases are hard, but the basics shouldn't be. I'd normally expect several basic ones and a few good professional ones. But that's not what we see...

There's whatever's inside BRL-CAD, and SolveSpace has its own too. Not that there are all that many proprietary 3D kernels either - ACIS, Parasolid, and...?

Doubtful. The petitioner in this case is an international architecture firm, hardly a typical group to be used for a sham case. The judgement itself isn’t out so we can’t see the court’s reasoning. This is a bit more comprehensive: https:&

Yeah, that’s much more efficient. But there’s something beautiful in the way that a Taylor expansion or a trigonometric identity emerge from the function definition. Also, it teaches an interesting concept in lazy evaluation. I mean, why no

Deflation (defined as, the value of the currency goes up with time) means that prices go down with time. This however tends to accumulate wealth and not have it move around in the economy (it being more remunerative to hold on to your curre
