It sounds like Boeing knew this design was potentially faulty so they used two sensors for input. Then they promptly ignored those concerns and only used input from one sensor.

It seems that it would be obvious to a human pilot if the automated system was receiving faulty sensor data, since it would be easy to see the…

As someone who’s worked in both restaurants and retail, I can confirm that a good portion of the public not only expects something for nothing, they demand it.

As someone who has taken pizza orders for nigh unto twenty years, let me just state that nothing in this scenario surprises my cold, dead heart. Many a moron refuses to be satisfied with anything less than an entire suckling pig atop their pizza pie.

While “fiddling while Rome burned” is a kind of obvious metaphor for his inaction (which is a common criticism for literally every politician when they don’t react quickly to crisis), he in turned blamed Christians and Jews for setting fire to the city, which sparked slaughter. Speculation was that it was basically a…

What the MAGA folks don’t seem to realise in their racist, hand-rubbing glee- there’s really no need to bother, if he is found to have actually staged this, nothing, repeat, NOTHING will compare to the wrath that will be brought down on him by the black and queer communities.

Have always found their UI atrocious. To this day I have to guess at how to get to the artist or our page for song and listen to. Those should be primary buttons on the main page.  And the fact that you can’t create a playlist Or folder on their mobile app is sad. These are the primary reasons I am constantly…

God, I just remembered that NYTimes article were Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem were defined as “Hispanic Oscar winners”.

.. and another .. person .. who appears who is tellingly defensive about a point that the author of the article isn’t making.

I wouldn’t use the word discriminatory until you know what the fuck it means.

So because Rome practiced conquest and slavery like every other civilization at the time, it didn’t suffer when it starved in the 5th-century, or from Germanic invasions, or when it was sacked with looting and rape?

Well damn, Professor Droopy.

I remember my girlfriend and I gave this half a season and ditched out because it was too wealthy in both people and their problems to be relatable for us.

Surely there’s a difference between a movie that shows instances of racist violence that are either historical or intended to demonstrate the sickness of those actions, and a music video that actively calls for killing people because of their race? This is a false equivalency of the highest order. Ditto comparing it…

We live in a shitty society where tremendously wealthy people are paid millions of dollars when they are fired. I am so fucking ready for the guillotines. 

My guess is that she probably knows that fandoms come up with weird stuff like this anyway so she might as well get ahead of it and do it herself.

Read another book

This doesn’t seem to even make practical sense to me. Netflix already has limits on device log ins built into the feature set of the subscriptions. So any data on consecutive time watched etc. is spoilt by the fact people could be logged in from all over.

I pay for 4 simultaneous screens. If a 5th screen tries to stream, it gets told no. So what if two of my screens are in New York? I only pay for that because I wanted 4K anyway, or as I like to call it, HD for Suckers.  

Here’s something else you can never un-notice : Watch Star Trek, especially Deep Space Nine when a lot of aliens are around. Now notice how nobody blinks.

I love how things that we refer to as "retro" are often things that, at the time, were supposed to be "from the world of tomorrow".
