In 2013 there were approximately 24,000 737 flights per day[1] - likely more today. If narrowed to just the MAX variants, it's still thousands per day. Two, albeit high profile, crashes out of all the daily MAX volume is simply not som

This just isn't true. PayPal isn't a bank. They're a processor. People run afoul when they keep large amounts in their processor account instead of doing free nightly sweeps. They also run into trouble when they do weird thin

In the book "Turn the Ship Around", these questions are only temporary, and are part of how the leader transforms the team from traditional Leader-Follower into Leader-Leader. These questions condition people to think ahead, and e

"Turn the Ship Around" is fantastic. It's a short audio book (about 6.5 hours), if that's more up your alley. Definitely worth a read/listen.

I don't think those two things are comparable, really. With SO copy/paste, you still were undertaking the mental exercise (and reward) of thinking through hard problems, researching solutions, and assembling it yourself. With AI,

Yes, but IP67 is not nearly as water resistant as IP68, which all modern phones are for the most part. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if IP68 could be achieved in a phone without glue. There's no clamping mechanism for the b

Just skimmed the PR, I'm sure the author knows more than I - but why hard code a date at all? Why not do something like `today + 1 year`?

Which is to say consuming tart cherries is not a significant source of calories and not something "people in need" are in need of at all. Maybe just quit being needlessly pedantic? Every point you've attempted to raise in thi

People do not eat tart cherries directly. The overwhelming majority of people will never process them into something edible either. "People in need" are not going to spend time and money processing tart cherries into juice conce
