I realize it might not be fair to ask right at this moment, but:

How come Boeing hasn't produced a clean-sheet-design replacement for the 737, despite its extreme age? I mean, since its design, the 747, 757 and 767 have come and gone, variants and all, no production continuing. Why the endless adaptations of this old thing:

> It's easier to read the source code with uppercase keywords.

This is aesthetics, I won't claim that what I'm saying is more than a (perhaps popular) subjective opinion. But I will point out that at least the way I read programs, the KEYWORDS are the OPPOSITE of what I want to EMPHASIZE when reading code.

I actually want the keywords to disappear so that my eyes can focus on the variable names and see the data flow. That, by the way, is also why punctuation to mark blocks { ... } is so much easier for me to visually parse than BEGIN ... END.
There was an engineer who got fired for worrying publicly about the fire safety of the carbon fiber hulls during the 787 leadup.

It turned out I worked in the same building he had, and I found his old office. Word is after he left they locked it up, like a crime scene. I think they were worried his whistleblowing would turn to leaks and I guess they thought his office would have some sort of evidence? It was an interior office so no big loss real estate wise, but that was a super weird chapter.

He was painted as an aluminum bigot but I always wondered.

I used to talk to a coworker about how Mitsubishi - which built the 787 wings (something Boeing has never done before) - had introduced a regional jet and would be coming after a Boeing’s lunch. He was not worried. I’m a little shocked he’s been right so far. In fact that particular division of MHI seems to be defunct as of last February, which is news to me, so I suppose he was right. Maybe the 787 experience was as unpleasant for them as it was for Boeing.
Is the argument here that it's more economically viable to run a plane building company whose planes accidentally falls out of the sky? Naively, it would seem to me to be a bad business decision to design aero planes that can't fly, but what do I know.

I’ve been taking metformin for life extension for about 5-10 years. It’s dead cheap ranging from free at some pharmacies to like $5 for six months. And I haven’t had any discernible side effects.

What’s funny though is that my insurance and some health systems now think I have diabetes and are sending me mailers and calls for diabetes interventions. So I guess their CDS is pretty simple and just looks for rxnorm metforming scripts for “undiagnosed” diabetes. I don’t have diabetes and don’t have any of the clinical markers that would indicate diabetes or prediabetes.

Just a fun fact.
Embraer, the Brazilian-made aircraft. They're being replaced with Airbus A220s, which was called a Bombardier CSeries before Airbus bought Bombardier's airliner division.
How does Embraer compare to Boeing/Airbus? Why don't they take Boeing's position in the market?

I appreciate your corrections and agree with all of them.

Yet they do not imply IRS is operating efficiently, as efficiency is left undefined.

Because the chance of you dying when something goes wrong in an aircraft at high altitude is significantly higher (almost 100%) than you dying in a car crash. There's still a chance of you getting ambulance on road accidents but you're plummeting to your death on major aircraft malfunction.

Yeah, I know your username, and I'm sure you understand git internals and CAS, etc. I still think your post is misleading to readers as most will walk away thinking git is stacking up deltas on each commit. This is evidenced by three people trying to correct you in this thread. Regarding CAS/CoW, I don't think that is any less of a complete exact snapshot. There are no deltas involved, and the representation is completely independent of any other commits (other than the parent commit hashes).
I think GP meant that they might give more of a fuck (in the wrong direction) if sabotaging "just this one bolt" means this they can own a significant chunk of stock in the company they are part of.

According to a quick search Boeing has a market cap of ~150 billion and 150k employees, so if you manage to hide that it was you who installed the bolt wrong then assuming the company gets distributed roughly equally among employees then that's a quick 1 million payday. How certain are you that "hopelessly alienated" employees wouldn't sell out a few hundred anonymous passengers for a million bucks?
Although I'm not an aerospace engineer, Airplane seats only have a a simple lap-belt, are rarely adjusted to the proper tightness, and are designed to accommodate all body sizes. I could certainly imagine a lap-belt not being adequate to keep a small child from getting sucked out of the seat.

If you're looking for a fast turnaround I would recommend filing earlier in the period -- like as far in advance of April 15th as possible, i.e. as soon as you have all your supporting materials. As you get closer to April 15th, you are non-linearly further back in the queue.

I can't really make an authoritative comparison of filing methods because I'm mostly a die-hard paper filer and have only ever e-filed maybe twice in my life at most. And it was long enough ago that I barely remember, and in fact never really cared, how fast my refund arrived. I embrace and savor the luxury of simplicity. When will my refund arrive? Answer: sound of one hand clapping. It's a reminder I put in the calendar for like, mid-June, to the effect of "Hey did I get my tax refund yet?" Usually the answer's, yep, and you dismiss the reminder. I can't be arsed (as they say in the UK) to be more interested in it than that.
>Competition is a core principle of capitalism

Capitalism is literally defined by the ability to invest capital to accumulate more of it by way of profit. The logical end of this process is straightforwardly monopoly.

>Stephen Hawking and Neal Degrasse Tyson have been running around for decades telling everyone that the humanities are worthless. Young students, unfortunately, listened to them on this subject. A real tragedy, I think.

Neither of them has said anything like this. Hawking's "philosophy (metaphysics) is dead" is a narrow point about the relevance of philosophy to basic theorizing about nature. NDT said something along the lines of he doesn't have time for questions like "what is the meaning of meaning". Neither can be reasonably construed as denigrating humanities. There have been a lot of folks on the other side who have put words into the mouths of these two for the sake of self-promotion. It's created a very warped perspective on what Hawkings and NDT actually believe.

Did you have your electronics connected to good quality surge protectors, or were you just relying on the whole-house surge protector? I've read before that whole-house protectors are meant more for reducing fire risk than protecting sensitive equipment and you're supposed to use them in combination with plug-in surge protection. Opinions on whole-house protectors are very divided among electricians, it seems like half think they are critical safety equipment every house should have, and half think they are completely useless snake oil.

Another issue is quality of plug-in surge protectors. The biggest risk is that you get a fake one that is essentially just a power strip no or minimal protective components. Old surge protectors or ones that have absorbed a surge can silently lose their protections when the MOVs fail, so it's important to replace them regularly. I always buy good quality surge protectors from name brands of power equipment, but honestly I don't replace them nearly as often as I should.

Finally, it might be worth checking how good your house's grounding is. You can have the best surge protectors in the world but if they can't actually dump that voltage to ground they aren't going to do much for you.
Apparently the door was permanently plugged, as Alaska Airlines didn't order the airplane with that optional door in place. So... turns out it wasn't so permanent - and definitely an issue with Boeing rather than the airline.

I think that exaggerates the argument into something brittle and thus weaker. Immutability is sufficient but not required.

The issue isn't whether something can technically be changed or not, the issue is whether it is wrong to coerce people in that direction.

Imagine if tomorrow someone invented magic (de)tanning bed where a few weeks of treatments would permanently change your skin color. Would that new capability suddenly make it acceptable for employers to hire only certain shades?

For that matter, we can talk about things like discrimination on the basis of religion, which has already been mutable for all recorded history.
These articles never take into account what investor’s NET exposure is.

An investor who has a lot of tesla shares might write calls to collect premium. Or buy puts for downside protection. Or short tesla shares to offset out-of-the-money calls.

Or maybe an investor has a large position in an ETF that has a position in tesla. If the investor wants to be neutral tesla he has to short the stock in order to cancel out the tesla exposure through the ETF.

I don’t know why the subject of short selling makes peoples brains melt.
I sure hope they don't delete the archives, which contain my greatest troll of all time:

It only failed because he had a right to arbitration under his collective bargaining agreement, as well as I assume a "just cause" termination standard. He would not win a wrongful termination lawsuit for this in his state.
In Europe that's what seems to be a standard announcement. "The captain has switched off the fasten seatbelt sign, but we recommend you keep your seatbelt fastened at all times when seated, in case of sudden turbulence."
External job openings are pretty sparse these days, too.

Things will turn around eventually, and when they do, it's normally easier to transfer onto an exciting project than it would be to get hired on to do it. Plus your stock keeps vesting.

In the meantime, you can try to make yourself a more attractive internal candidate by working towards a promotion or taking on some extra curricular activities. Talk to your manager about your long term goals and see if there's anything else you can do in your current role to make it more interesting.
"The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" has been a financial truism for a long time. Tesla is just the most glaring and recent example of it.

1. Tyson dismissed the intellectual value of philosophy in a podcast, which led to criticism from those within the discipline[1].

2. He has been quoted saying, "What they teach in the humanities is not 'skepticism' or 'critical thinking.' It's mental masturbation disguised as critical thinking"[5].

3. Tyson warned that philosophy "can really mess you up" and has implied that philosophy does not progress in the way science does[5].

4. His attitude towards philosophy has been characterized as science-defeating by some, as it dismisses the role of philosophy in addressing moral and aesthetic questions that science cannot answer[6].

5. Tyson's comments have sparked discussions and defenses of the humanities and philosophy, with critics arguing that his views are overly simplistic and do not represent the true value and diversity of philosophical inquiry[1][4][5][6].

What sets Tesla apart from other automakers is not the product, but their attitude as a company. Say tomorrow flying cars become feasible. I can believe that Toyota or BMW or Ford might get around to building a flying car. I KNOW that Tesla will jump right into building one.

> You can’t do e.g. crystallographical analysis of metals inside an engine if the engine is already put together.

QA is not forced to only deal with assembled components. They can be embeded before the assembly process to QA the parts. For example they could peform crystallographical analysis on a subset of blades which are ready for assembly.

They can also take apart a certain percentage of randomly selected engines, perform crystallographical analysis on a subset of parts and then re-assemble the engines. Many options.

> Tesla stock is not valued based on its underlying fundamentals

I'm no Musk fan with his latest comments, but I disagree with this quite strongly.

Have a look at how many vehicles Toyota have produced for the last 10 years, and have a look at their stock price. Take a guess at their stock price in 10 more years. It's a flat line

Now have a look at the number of vehicles Tesla have produced in the last ten years. Now guess at their stock price in 10 more years.

There is a chance Tesla will make 20 million vehicles by 2030. If they do, their stock price will go up a lot. There really is not much chance of Toyota doing that. (they're not trying to)

> Those drones can be launched from substantially more than 30-40 miles from the shore.

Yeah, you're correct on that, I was probably going by the good old tactic of "bomb everything that adversarially moves on the shorelines from a relative safe distance out in the sea", which tactic was active (among many competing others) sometime at the end of the 19th century - early 20th century (Douhet partially took cues from that naval tactic when writing about his mass aerial bombardments strategy).

But as some other poster mentions in a related comment, there are no definitive Houthi bases, so that leaves one with the question: What exactly to bomb? What exactly needs neutralising? The same questions would be as valid and as difficult to answer were carrier-based airplanes to be available in the vicinity.

Clang/LLVM allows a lot of tinkering and compiler software development that is more difficult with gcc.

Clang/LLVM is just an easier platform for code instrumentation, cross compilation, code sanitizers, building your own compiler tool/language, understanding the codebase, good documentation to build your own LLVM based tools...

It's a bonus that any tools/languages etc. you build using the LLVM infrastructure does not virally become GPL also.

Aparently Clang is ~5% faster than GCC (at least on intel's latest chip) -- See https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-meteorlake-gcc-clang . Though this is not a big deal for me -- it is just nice to know.
