Vandalism of some type has to be a possibility right?

Can’t recommend the book Airframe by Michael Crichton to help contextualize the typical kneejerk reactions to these kinds of things versus the usual culprits enough. Edit: thanks for pointing out the typo. Good book still.

I'll bite. Why not?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have never heard "church" being used as a verb before

One wonders do Apple devs even use an iPhone? Like, under what circumstances would I want the word the changed to thr after I’ve typed the next word.

I'd venture auto-incorrect had a go here

Tapo.

Meaning: a tapographical error, compare typo.

Between auto-correct and Apple search, I wonder too.

I’d like to know how Apple staff find emails on their inboxes.

The search is such shiite.

As few have already pointed out, an AI hallucination... Quick, to the top of HN! Toyota engineers equally puzzled their doors fly off when you reverse through a toll booth with them open.

Can you please stop posting like this? It is tedious:

I'm a bit confused.

The first three posts you linked were all upvoted, one sits at +10.

In absence of an official scoring rubric, how is one to know what will or won't make you upset if the feedback differs?

HN doesn't operate by upvotes alone (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...). Plenty of bad comments get upvoted, especially the sensational-indignant kind that the internet is flooded with. If upvotes were the only measure, HN would be an entirely different place. Actually, it would have ceased to exist a long time ago (since its purpose is to be a place for intellectual curiosity and those things are incompatible).

Therefore, in addition to considering upvotes we have guidelines to explain the intended use of the site in general: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, as well as moderation to try to explain it in specific cases. We run HN this way because otherwise the system would get stuck in one of its failure modes (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...).

In this case, posting snarky and supercilious putdowns is definitely against the intended use of HN, no matter how many upvotes they get (and they often get plenty). So please don't post those!

"Still, any event in which a door separates from a commercial aircraft tends to attract attention from regulators, manufacturers, and airline safety teams." As well as stockholders I'd imagine.

> [...] Puzzling Engineers

... but not puzzling anyone who's been watching the direction Boeing has been going.
