I try to think positively. It successfully landed on the beach in North Sentinel Island, where all the passengers and the crew still live happy lives away from these pesky newfangled life we call civilization. edit: satellite data needs to be bogus though, so my theory makes perfect sense
4 8 15 16 23 42?
Can someone TL;DR this please?

There's some neat math people used to try and find the plane that gets alluded to, but not explained in depth, and the post is a reasonable summary, but didn't really change my mind much and my previous awareness was based on overhearing cable news, so it's not really anything new.
It's written well enough to be entertaining, but isn't really enlightening.
Better question is what has been done to prevent the next MH370 and I bet the answer is nothing much, it took a back burner once the story was out of the headlines. There are only a thousand reasons aircraft operators might want to know where their planes are and if there are any issues. I’m sure that the gps position and black box data could be streamed over radio and/or satellite.

Also, real-time streaming of GPS position for the thousands of flights in the air at any given time is not a trivial problem (but technology is improving and ICAO is pushing for such solution[3]).

Fascinating read but for some REAL fun Jeff Wise's "Russian Hijacking Theory" is pretty awesome.... http://jeffwise.net/2019/03/09/the-russian-passengers-aboard...
Good read, but: all that detail and couldn't be bothered providing a (bracketed) degree-centigrade comparison.

There has been a German and Chinese flight since with 100+ fatalities where this happened. Given how few crashes there are on commercial flights its one of the biggest risk factors today.
I really want to believe that a single switch doesn't control whether people in the back of the plane can breather or not...
For whatever reason, this doesn't seem to be widely discussed.

MH370 likely had systems that enable tracking deliberately disabled by someone in the cockpit (or they all failed at the same time). That's not part of the threat model for good reasons.
