The Google Maps team is losing core focus. Google Trips was recently killed and they are trying to "integrate" pieces of it into maps. Not impressed by this downward trend.

Don't use an sms/voice phone number as part of your 2-step verification in Google. In the past, I did use a verizon landline phone number as Verizon had the ability to "lock/freeze" that number from any outside chan

"As part of the fix, Boeing has reworked MCAS to more closely resemble the first version." Be very wary if pilot training is not part of the "fix" to getting the Max back up in the air. If MCAS is being "rolled bac

I only know enough to get me in trouble, but pcp is a general "framework" for performance monitoring... they have pcp versions/rewrites of all types of traditional monitoring utilities like vmstat, iostat, top. Note: they do

Google's 'shipping & receiving" seems to have a logistics problem. Fi support shifted to s & r, but they did nothing. The depts sound to be butting heads. Would love to know what's going on internally there.

I lived near and went to Action Park in New Jersey a couple of times. I was too young to ride the water speedboats and motor go-karts though... bah! Those were the days. The issue is one of scaling risk as the knowledge and responsibility

Damning article for Boeing execs... just one quote: “We don’t want to rush and do a crappy job of fixing the right things and we also don’t want to fix the wrong things,” Mr. Sinnett said, later adding, “For flight-critical software, I don’

Facebook is a "Public Square"? Please. Call a spade a spade... it is a "Walled Garden". If you don't like how the roses are starting to smell, well, step outside the gates, no one is keeping you in: https:/

The website says the hardware has built-in battery backup that can run it for 4 to 5 hours if power goes out. That is pretty dang cool.

I'm confused with your response. So nothing to see here? Nothing to learn and change? You seem to say we should accept design flaws (like we did with the MD11?)... correct? Or?

Blaming "social media" is as dumb as blaming the young adult book "Reconstructing Amelia". Heck, if I was to presume anything, I'd blame her parents before blaming anything else (read: i'm not). Who has it har

The FAA isn't passing the smell test. If both previous crashes happened with US carriers taking off from US airports, you better believe the FAA would ground these boeing max jets.

Google's redesign of News was a piece of junk. It's 100% based on "social media" and "your browsing habits". That's the opposite of "News". It's also broken... disabling "Open web pag

For a short time, you could actually hide a video in your subscriptions by just clicking one button (an "X" overlayed in top-right). Best feature ever. Now it takes two clicks and mouse movement to hide.
