This article is written by the New York Times, I fail to see how it is disinformation by posting articles by one of (if not ) the biggest newspapers in the world. It's not like these are written by some obscure journalistic outfit. Of course that doesn't mean they are correct and accurate and unbiased themselves, but it at least indicates to me that even if HN users are posting holding the viewpoint of the article, at least it is a viewpoint that is held by other reputable parties.

Try riding in a A220 or E190 and see if you still think the 737 has a reason to exist.

The 737 MAX is a classic case of secular stagnation, of undercompetion, underinvestment, regulatory capture, etc.

“speculative”? You’re alleging that the hour-long recording that is the basis for this article is misleading or a fabrication?

HN is a community consisting primarily of software engineers. This is a very high profile news story in which software ended up killing people. It's very much in the interest of readers here to keep discussing it when new information comes to light.

Change that by putting more effort into your comments.

"Rogue Boeing 737 Max planes ‘with minds of their own’ | 60 Minutes Australia" is what Youtube tries to show me now. It's pretty ridiculous.
