Reminds me a bit of the UPS Flight 6 that crashed in 2010. Wasn't the cause of the fire, but the fire heated up the co-pilots oxygen system to the point he couldn't wear it and eventually succumbed to smoke hypoxia. Due to smoke i

He's got Granny Smith in the shit category, and this just reminds me of a funny story about dogs! We had two corgis and my wife made all their meals by hand. Part of their diet was apples, but we found one of the corgis would almost al

When COVID broke out I was working with a manufacturing company, helping to fix their PMO. One of the big issues they had was that the only way to get parts through the factory was for the PMs to go down to the shop floor and constantly bab

So two questions: 1) what other priorities? 2) has anyone that worked on teams actually used it? It has one of the worst UX's ever.

I'm interested in the ITAR implications here of the video. When asked about seeing the inside of the fuel tank during the crew demo mission Shotwell said no because it was covered by ITAR. This video clearly shows inside a tank.

I would note that today's VW Golf has better horsepower and a higher top speed than the first Ferrari.

I'd love to see your math. I don't have any math to support my belief just a little bit of logic, but it works like this: 1) 787 burns X lbs of fuel per hour in flight 2) 787 takes Y hours to fly from point A to point B at Mach 0.

The blank check is ultimately the problem. I say remove the blank check and then let colleges figure out the rest. I look to the UK as an example. The government only guarantees $10,000 in student loans so most programs coincidentally cost

I'm always amazed how inefficient cross industry pollination is. This was a major issue in aerospace for years (see Hudson River) and there are a number of solutions, one of the best being a high pulsing light on the wings. How has tha

I'm in agreement with you on this. I've been playing with a package for Atom that would simplify a bunch of stuff in my process, but in general I don't like the risk of proprietary software/stack for my workflow.

The RAT was deployed too, so clearly they were having power issues. Just haven't seen if they had power plant problems before or after the engines appear to have scraped the ground.

This. And if you pull if forward, stack ranking did a lot of damage to both GE and Microsoft after Ballmer implemented it. The real failure of stack ranking is it never ends, so at some point you are firing good employees.

The old no press is bad press theory in action. It will be interesting to see what actually happens when the season starts and moves into the all-star break.

I would like to see the impact of the dollar in terms of the environment in 2020 vs 1985. I hope that the impact of my dollar is less, and I bet most people today are willing to pay more for a smaller environmental impact.

I wonder how much of that was lack of direction and leadership. They had a number of different channels they were exploring which is fine, but they didn't seem to be really focused. I know when we tried to work with them they were losi
