Smith is spot on with his analysis of why no number of mods and modules will make the 737 into a 757. Here on HN I have ranted about the wobbly bobbly handling, obsolete hydraulics, and noisy crappy cockpit of the 73, versus the modern and

Deleted only from the web controlled by the Peopple's Republic of China. You can still access South Park from the Republic of China and elsewhere. (Look what I did there: two countries, not one.)

Cat and mouse indeed, but here we see that a GPS spoof can be detected and spoofs can be made more and more difficult to accomplish. It will get down to a game of knowing the satellites better and better, in terms of their clocks, orbits, a

Wumao, you misspelled "hostile foreign forces" in your CCP propaganda reply. You will never accept the fact of domestic resistance to your government's infringement on basic rights all people are born with - even Chinese peop

More fascist propaganda from the far right extremists in power in the USA. The situation has nothing to do with treason nor goes much beyond racist demands to "go back to Asia where you belong."

In addition to celestial navigation, there was very precise radio based ranging between tracking stations and the spacecraft. You could call it a precursor to GPS, where a pseudo-random noise was transmitted in the microwave signal to the

Those sinofascists also tell ethnic Chinese citizens of other countries that they are Chinese, and owe allegiance to the People's Republic. Not much different from Nazi Germany's expectations of ethnic Germans living abroad. Exce

All persons are created equal, but some more equal than others. It is the more equal persons who will inherit the earth when the less equal die.

Boilerplate! Huawei is obligated to serve the communist party. Huawei is CCP through and through, intrinsic like stink on shit. Therefore, Huawei security is an oxymoron.

It has been said that I expend considerable bandwidth harping on China and Russia for their gangster-like, authoritarian ways. To be truthful, I still have reserve harping capacity for other rat-assed illiberal states: Fuck those Pakis too

Mankind, all of the other things which have lived, all of the things which ever live, and even the rocky Earth itself are made of the same ancient material older than the Sun. Fuckin' bloody hell: even Trump is made of the same. No le

Hey, Yves Smith... The chopper crews were correct: don't take your kids to war. War is not about fairness, but about killing. If that is distasteful, then consider making a greater effort to avoid armed conflict, including insurgency

It fits the intesests of those aurhoritarian, so called "civilizational states" to cast doubt on progressive tech in liberal democracies. At home, Russia dictates,"build out 5G infrastructure." In the West, the propaga

Civilizational states. For all of the throwbacks who would rather see the world regress 300 years than enjoy the progress and peace brought by globalization. To Balkanize the planet? To let Trump, Putin, and Xi run the world? To bloody h

Those well paid shills at FP should heed Yogi Berra's words: "Predicting is difficult, especially for the future." You don't know what is going to happen.

What? You can't guarantee employment. You can guarantee death and taxes. Do the efficient thing: eliminate the vast welfare bureaucracy and simply pay basic income. While you're at it, eliminate a great deal of tax bureacracy

The 737 is not a plane you want for landing or taking off in heavy rain. Visibility is shitty even with the wipers set to high. On top of that, no plane is one you want if there's windshear. Want to land with heavy rain on the airfie

Traders, don't cover your Boeing shorts just yet. Let those shares sink just a little more for good measure. Boeing, where did your buybacks and Frankenstein 737 upgrade take you? What about the engineering and marketing choice to l

What were they thinking, Boeing and the ops inspectors for Soutwest? Imprudent, lax management who fails to aggresively defend safety is just as dangerous a pilot who decides not to address a malfunction. A "fifth risk" scenario

Go ahead and villify the media for a situation the Americans have brought on themselves, just as the first civil war was self- inflicted. You either believe and adhere to your founding principles or you don't. Are all people CREATED E
