I agree, the improved version is worse. At first glance, it looks better than the original, but then numerous artifacts become apparent. For example, check out the little girl's fa…

Friendly reminder: it's == (it is | it has) It's my responsibility to correct grammar. it's been tough for the Lions this year. its == (the thing belonging to it) You should always…

I did that, and then afterwords it told me that the article was being gifted to me buy a paying member. After that I just closed the tab. It is kind of a stroke of genius, encourag…

> When intranet webapps came along everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief. Not entirely. Sometimes they were replaced by applets, which are just native application wrapped in a th…

It could work where a large number of AI's are constructed. A small subset of these AI's--those that can only be used for good--are used as a training set. A number of AI's that ca…

Why is there not a regulation that states an airline must return its passengers safely home before being allowed to shut down all operations?

Omitting automatic registry backups is a defensible policy. Telling the user that a backup was completed while a 0 byte file was saved is lying. Seems like a criminal act under the…

Not sure that's correct though. For banks, deposits are liabilities, while assets are loans and cash-on-hand, which they are required to hold fractionally against the total amount …

One huge factor that could help students enter the workforce without crippling debt would be to expand the scholarship counselling programs available at the high school level. Perh…

Another important, yet often overlooked duty for nervous flyers is monitoring the engine sound. Signs of trouble are when it's loud, too soft, or too grindy. I also find pilots fre…

But if they put in a warning light, then they would have had to add an item to the emergency checklist for what to do when the warning light came on. This would entail explaining a…

Not only is Boeing too big too fail, it's too big to succeed.

This issue of the AOA-disagree warning light keeps getting brought up again and again, which is unfortunate because the presence of such a light would not have saved those 346 live…

Muillenberg's assurances that they will fix everything on their own are not very convincing. The existence of such a terrible design -- a single sensor that has complete control ov…

Would it be possible to completely remove MCAS, and simply train pilots that this version of the plane stalls more easily? Stalls are a known phenomena that all pilots are very com…

There's the reassurances about the broken and deadly MCAS system. But what is there to assure us about the engineering team within Boeing that allowed such an egregiously bad syste…

That flimsy tail design bothered me as well. Even if the center wing and wing roots are incredibly strong, there's little reason to place them under stresses that could be alleviat…

To avoid FAA scrutiny, Boeing developed and deployed MCAS covertly. This was done because they feared scrutiny would have led to huge losses in the face of competition from Airbus.…

This is incorrect. The engines are not too powerful for the airframe. The problem is that the engines themselves create lift at high Angles of Attack, pitching the nose of the plan…

Thank you. I've been meaning to look that up for years.

For a billionaire, that is quite a humble home.

What about releasing a genetically altered strain of the malaria organism itself?
