I mean you can believe what you want but NTSB literally had a guy at a podium say into the mic last night that there is so far no evidence "the bolts were ever there", around the 17-18 minute mark if you have nothing better to do.

NTSB are doing that lab work right now in Washington D.C. You seem to not know the meaning of suspect, so here is the definition: Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more sus·pect verb 3rd person present: suspects /səˈ

I'm pretty sure if you personally drove a new car off the lot and the door fell off you would not believe that quality were unchanged from your prior impression of that car company. Just because it's happening to other people does

So enormous that musk won't touch it. He's said a plane company is something he wants to do but can't. And that wouldn't even be large airliners.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I don't believe in blaming the user for manufacturing and maintenance errors. I think that makes a bad programmer too, actually.

What do you mean "if", anyone can choose what plane to fly on anytime.

In a brand new plane? Yes it is.

It is trivial to see how someone sitting there not seat belted could have perished. You do understand that long stretches of flight allow you to be unseatbelted right?

The only reason nobody was injured this time was nobody was sitting in the seats next to the door plug that blew off. The seat was destroyed.

It doesn't matter. Nothing will change unless enough people begin voting with their feet.

No, not usually. In my experience anyway, most random engineers in the semiconductor industry that you would run into who know both C and Verilog would be just using those tools to do their job. There is a lot of ECE stuff to unpack in your

Yeah, sorry, I don't believe for a second that Russia has failed to maintain their only playing card. What a joke. US military industrial complex folks will make up any story to excuse their audit-free slovenly spending.

The country that is still launching the same platform for manned space that they did in the 50s can't figure out how to do that but with warheads -- doubt! Makes a good story though!

Actually no, it's not "as simple as that" when everyone except you doesn't take lunch hour and schedules meetings at noon. We have a right to the lunch hour.

Ok, I guess that's fair. Having worked at one of the large chip makers, I can tell you there are plenty of people who know C and Verilog, you just weren't talking to any of them. Those who need to do, and those who don't, don

We're not gobsmacked when you don't know Verilog, so I'm not sure why you think you can be gobsmacked some chip designers don't know C...

In particular, how is Boeing apparently exempt from antitrust? Shouldn't there be more than one large airliner manufacturer in North America? I guess regulators consider Airbus to be sufficient, but when each has its own government com

It seems to have a JS engine. It also mentions "improvements to JavaScript handling" for 3.9. I guess it's disabled by default though.

Right, I think people are misunderstanding a key point here, which is that SpaceX, Blue Origin, etc would really like to see rockets be an alternative to airplanes, in which case we are talking about a dramatically increased number of launc

Just as 100k jet airplane flights per day would have been unimaginable in the ~50s when the jet airliner industry started, I actually can imagine a near future where many more than 10k rockets per day are launched, if the industry has it&#x

Correct me if I'm wrong but I am under the impression that Starship does not use that, the least expensive fuels for rockets are highly CO2 emitting, and the least expensive fuels are what will get rolled out in mass numbers if SpaceX,
