There has been plenty of cynical reporting and editorializing that has made this very argument, that in fact Boeing and the industry more widely has been hiding behind the safety streak up until the moment of the first MAX crash. The fact t

Your post is borderline incoherent, but I think your point is you want to remind everyone that not all rich people should be treated the same? Ok I'll add that to my priorities list somewhere below figuring out how to pay for healthcar

Yes, I agree that the aviation industry hiding behind the streak of years of no accidents has contributed to how bad Boeing became. They were using that statistic as a shield and a hammer to justify further deregulation. This is a great exa

Are the simulators run by Boeing or the FAA? Are the test pilots employed by Boeing? What changes have been made to the regulatory framework to prevent Boeing from signing off on their own safety tests? What changes has the FAA made to brin

It's almost like we are intentionally bending over backwards to avoid hiring some human beings to do some real fucking work. When did this become the mantra of every tech company? Any time a job is created it's viewed as an unfort

I'd imagine the major intelligence agencies have already started their own genetic databases, right? Being able to track down everyone at a genetic level is insanely valuable data from a national security perspective. Given that the in

Business schools are going to study WeWork and Adam in the same chapter as Bernie Madoff and MCI Worldcom. This has been one of the most successful scams of all time. The fact that it was all legal is just mind-boggling.

The idea of a new system allowing the USA to move troops closer to home or somehow ratchet back the number of bases we have is pretty naive. It's possible of course, but it would be the first time that ever happened with a new tech sin

This is pretty wild, $50/month for unlimited data. It looks like between new cell tech and low orbit satellites we're finally going to see real competition between ISPs in the coming years.
