Anyone getting off the plane with a carry-on should be charged with negligent homicide or similar. 55 seconds vs 45 vs 35 could be the different between 40 dead and 42 or 44. One life matters, your laptop does not. Only one of these things can be restored from iCloud. Leave. Your. Bags. On. The. Plane. This apologism has to stop. Other than that very little you said is disrupted by the author — they themselves point out it’d be very unlikely the fire started in the air. They are a pilot after all.

To your own point anyone who stops and grabs carry-on from the overhead bins while the cabin is filling with smoke and anyone past row 12 is passed out is criminally stupid. I don’t care if it took 55 seconds or 12, it’s not okay.

How thrilled would you be if your grandmother died because someone couldn’t leave their laptop aboard?

I try to keep my luggage in the cabin when possible instead of checking it in because I do not want my luggage to be damaged as they tend to be very careless with the handling.

Apple products might be cheaper compared to 90s but they still incorporate a significant margin. An $800 iPhone can end up having a margin of about $300-400. Even if you incorporate other stuff R&D, marketing etc, you still have $200+ margin on the phone.

Compared to that, consumer software has become priced around 5-10 USD. At $5 and 1000 customers, you get $5k in revenue. After Apple/Google's commission, you get $3500. Factor in other stuff for marketing, customer support etc. you barely are left with profit. At 200 hours of work, that is $17.5 per hour. And getting to even the first 1000 users can take a long long time. Another option is to make it free, supported by ads, but then you have to have a much bigger user base or you'll be making pennies. On top of that, people get angry when you charge for upgrade or subscriptions. Checkout twitter threads for Reeder 4 and Tweetbot 4. Plenty of people complained - "why do we have to pay again"

Consumer software is currently a terrible space profit/revenue wise. B2B is a much better space to operate in.

I'm currently building a pocket/instapaper alternative but all my investigation around revenue/pricing/profitability left me with much less optimism than I expected. I'll complete this project but I'm probably not going to get into B2C again.
That is interesting.

Yes, even for something with a single pilot and no apparent fire they would usually have airport fire crews chase the emergency plane at an airport which has such things. Unless the pilots explicitly say they need something else e.g. "we have a woman with a heart attack we need paramedics to meet us".

You'll hear on radio recordings the fire crew being told which plane is "theirs" and authorised to enter the runway which is otherwise off limits to ground vehicles. Something like "Emergency plane is number one for two six left. Fire Two you are Cleared to follow them onto two six left".
VirtualBox 6.0 should support it. Still considered an experimental feature though.

Please, before I rush to judgement, in what way does taking a suitcase even by a single individual not create a few seconds lost for those further down the line?

I saw the footage and my first thought was exactly that of the OP. Tens of suitcases means tens of seconds delay. In an incident that gives you at most a few minutes for evacuation at least some of the dead are attributable to the actions of those carrying suitcases. That is criminal negligence in my book.

I now see another response quoting a Russian reponse indicating there was no congestion. Technically only the last survivor coming out could answer that question. For me, it seems strange that all the fatalities were instantaneous, while the survivors were unhindered. I'd imagine that with a broken up fuselage but not with a unbroken fuselage on fire. Perhaps the OP is overly emotional, but it's emotion pointing to something that is clearly wrong: people value belongings wrongly in case of serious accidents and the training should help people cope with that. I once saw a video of people trying to get their backpacks in case of a flash flood. They did not survive. Your property is basicly worthless compared to you being alive. We should learn to extend that to other people in case of emergency.

> The laptops that still manage to be terrible on Linux (which in my experience is constantly shrinking, even - and especially - for old ones) - were typically worse under Windows.

I gave already a direct counterexample, a Sony notebook. No problems under Windows for 10 years, unusable after 4-5 under newer Linux versions.

The example I haven't given: the Samsung notebook where touchpad never worked properly under Linux. The only response from community was "use an external mouse." Also the WIFi card on that Samsung never worked under Linux. Again the answer as "switch WiFi card or use an external one."

> once it is working, it's typically unlikely that it'll regress all that much unless there's an explicit push to deprecate old hardware.

For that I have 2 examples: Sony notebook graphic drivers regressed to make the notebook unusable. The Dell notebook regeressed with the LTS, it was fixed only because the bug stroke too much notebooks at once.

But hardware support does break in Linux unless enough of effort is made.

And some issues are totally broad. Last year I've bought a box with the APU which can't play videos under Linux without stuttering. No problem under Windows.

Nobody who claims that "Linux always works" seems to have an actual experience with notebooks which aren't intentionally pre-selected as "known to work." I don't know why would such claim be even controversial, it's widely known.

"Wireless 802.11

Another hardware device may not work at all; if you do not pay attention to wireless devices. Most laptops comes with on-board 802.11 (a/b/g/N) wireless cards. Not all card supported so make sure you get Intel Pro series card such as 3945 or Atheros based cards. My advice is use Google to search for your driver or use specialized databases (a more or less complete listing of wireless devices with information about the chipset they are based on and whether or not they are supported in Linux) to search for your laptop card."

As usual in aviation, you cannot make a decision without impacting a lot of other stuff, this case is no different.

For example, on certain aircraft models with limited OH space, a number of luggage OH bins - especially towards the extreme ends of the cabins as that is where the FA stations are - store emergency equipment as well.

https://i2.wp.com/thepointsguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/1... - an extreme example on Delta to prove the point, usually they store smaller emergency items.

If you decide to lock the bins, then either you have to sacrifice OH space and reconfigure the bins to move the emergency equipment to exclusive bins, re-certify the plane (as it involves emergency equipment) and re-train cabin crew to never store any emergency gear in the other bins. Or, keep the bin configuration as it is, but don't lock the ones storing emergency equipment while you lock the others, and face a situation where pax in the extreme ends of the cabins - where emergency exits happen to be as well - can still get their stuff, which may encourage others to pry their bins open and lose a lot of time.

So jail time then. People can learn to keep their passports on their persons to avoid jail time for putting it in the carry-on and taking the carry-on.
Well, it is TLD elitism. Sometimes acquiring a domain is not an option. Sometimes you can lose domains. What then?

Nothing can replace common sense and critical thinking when installing software from the internet. In the end, everything on the internet is potentially untrusted and blindly looking for ".com" is just a dumb strategy if your goal is not to get pwned.

I really cannot bring myself to consider not acquiring <software_name>.com a failure of the software package creator. As I said, if they are aware of a currently on-going phishing attempt that is masquerading as their own software, a prominent tip on their actual website would be nice.

The namespace is finite and not every website can be expected to be under .com. Also, the trustworthiness of a TLD is itself a fad, a fashion that changes over time. See: the popularity of .io.

Yes, this was in NZ a few days ago.

There are also several cases over recent years where immigration activists have been standing up in a plane when they wanted to stop the deportation of criminals. Result is usually fines (a criminal liability) and maybe ending up on a no-fly list (which is then not a criminal justice issue).

Windows Terminal: Building a better command line experience for developers
I actually live in LA, without a car. It’s perfectly feasible, and actually pretty convenient (and a lot of the times, yes, even faster than dealing with car traffic!), if you live in an area walking distance to a frequent transit stop (admittedly not everywhere, but definitely okay coverage, and it’s only expanding).

LA being antithetical to transit is... really a stereotype. The entire city (and even much of the county) is built along the old streetcar lines and the red car network (the largest streetcar system in the world back in the 30s!), which existed until the 60s. It’s a city built for transit and a city where transit is being heavily invested in again — because only relying upon cars turned out to be a failed experiment.

As a fun tidbit of things to come:

By the 2028 Olympics, LA is hoping to have completed a metro line connecting the Valley to the Westside via the Sepulveda Pass within 12 minutes — a journey which takes the average driver during rush-hour 55-65 minutes to complete on an ever-expanding Highway. Once it’s finished, it’s projected to be the busiest single rail line in the US, surpassing any in New York City even.
But compare to just recompiling your IOS app to marzipan - you no longer need to have separate paths to initialize the gl context - all you need is the different event handlers. I like to imagine that a point+click name wouldn’t even need that.
On top of other obvious things to be concerned about, I’d want to figure out how they think, how they deal with communication, and how they deal with disagreement, if you have different opinions, how they react and how the conversation develops.
Juries are not frequently comprised of people with objectivity, intelligence, or education. Refusing to answer questions on the grounds of self-incrimination looks incredibly guilty even though guilt is clearly not established. A good prosecutor will use that in closing arguments or to influence other witnesses.
Simple solution, digital locks that are able to be activated either by the cabin crew manually, or by the pilot automatically as a result of some controls that indicate there is a problem.
> The briefings need to be shorter and more concise, and this needs to be a part of them

This.

Instead we get airlines making [un]funny short films stuffed with celebrities (yes, I'm looking at you, BA) because their marketing department knows it's sure-fire PR and they'll get tens of millions of clicks/views/shares on social media out of it.

<sigh>
> Smaller companies in the US would typically know not to put poison in their products in the first place...

The catch is when they buy materials (like paint) that are cheaper because they don't comply. Either because they are made for a market with different regulations, or they have been contaminated some how.

Manufacturers may need to get certifications from suppliers about the materials meeting the regulations, but these won't be the cheapest option.
It's not that hard actually. We just have to cycle through the various antibiotic components with a sufficiently long cycle time (so that any resistances have time to disappear from the gene pool) and stop overusing antibiotics, especially for livestock.

Not getting Re-elected. But if you tax dead people who don’t live there anymore that’s not a concern.
Also the size of cabin luggage is starting to get out of hand, and there’s only minor attempts to mitigate the problem. During my last two flights airlines were offering to check-in luggage for free for those who volunteered, yet almost nobody did, people still preferred to carry huge cases in the cabin just for the convenience factor. Without some stricter rules people will always choose the easy way.
The premise of your argument is that the new value here is purely a difference in monetary value without any underlying real value, but that isn't the case. The tax base is larger because the real value in your city has increased. It's not just numbers on some investor's balance sheet, there is physically more housing there being put to productive use and providing real value to real people.

The point that the government then gets their cut of the value created is often specifically noted because it's typically the government officials who you have to convince to enact the policy you support.
Fair enough. I would say another likely issue is that of the highway problem: you make wider aisles—and now people think they can definitely take their stuff.
> Lifes, which depend on seconds because pathes are blocked by passengers grabbing their luggage or by dropped luggage, cannot.

> Windows code signing uses a server Microsoft runs to provide this, and Mozilla would need to do the same.

Nope. Actually all CAs that offer code signing certificates are required to provide timestamping service compatible with RFC 3161. These timestamping servers are usually free to use, see for example https://knowledge.digicert.com/generalinformation/INFO4231.h...
They're playing extreme shenanigans with the ticket price, to segment the pricing as much as possible. This à la carte approach has side effects - in particular, it strongly incentivizes people flying on their own account (as opposed to those flying on company money) to try and get out of as many of the menu items as possible. Traveling with a ridiculously inconvenient set of oversized carry-ons to avoid checked luggage fee is a standard practice at this point. Airlines should be responsible for upgrading safety measures to offset the danger they create with their business tricks.

Nice password by the way.

I thought the mention of "ticking time bombs" showed someone is thinking about this properly because end users get the same experience if e.g. a timer gets treated as negative in 2038 or the browser depends on the century field being 20 as they do if an X.509 certificate expires. If you are sure you handled all certs, but you blow up because your GPS epoch wrapped then you still screwed up.

> No, the lightning did not set off a fire. There was no fire until it landed.

There is video on YouTube from a passenger, showing the left engine spewing out massive flames, apparently before the first contact with the ground - the plane is speeding forward at a stable angle.

> Yet, TFA's author is smearing people as "stupid" and 100% certain it was the stupid luggage people.

In the other videos you can clearly see passengers going down the emergency slide with bags in hand. One passenger carries a bag so heavy it bends the slide halfway through and violently hits the ground - how is that not stupid?

There is specific immunity and blanket immunity. Specific immunity is protection from prosecution for a specified offense. Blanket immunity is protection from prosecution for any offense related to a given court case.

Immunity, like double jeopardy, is limited to a given court. For example a state prosecutor can grant immunity in exchange for testimony, but in the case of overlap with federal law the witness can still be prosecuted in a federal court.

> few minutes for evacuation

The evacuation was completed in 55 seconds. People in the back were stranded/unconscious/buckled-up before the plane even stopped. The eyewitness reported (see links in my post) he had to _crawl on all fours_ out of the plane through thick smoke through a completely clear aisle. People with bags were the ones sitting immediately in the first few rows, they did not cause a congestion.

I would be pissed off as anyone if luggage grabbers killed someone, but it seems they weren't the "deadly stupidity" here? I mean, the dude just wrote the whole pompous blog post with a flashy title off an unlikely rumor?
Yes and I am tired of Google quick view of pages like Reddit
Alright I can accept that.

However, the moment this plane hit the ground and started burning somebody at the tower should have seen it. I mean...probably many people saw it. What about them?
The community/npm encourages things like the `isEven`, etc bullshit.
