by_Rubenon Alaska Airlines grounds Boeing 737 Max 9 planes after mid-air window blowout

It does seem to be an emergency exit that blew.

"An emergency exit and whole panel at the left hand side of the aircraft was missing."

by_Rubenon Ask HN: Looking for feedback on our website (freelance platform))

Here a couple of my first impressions:

- The site is waaayyyy too slow, I would be gone before it even loaded.

- Things on the site don’t match up, Top 1% of freelancers and then show rates between $18 and $40 an hour?!?

- The first person (Evgeniy) you see on the page looks like a dud (should have a more charismatic picture) maybe have one of the others first

- The name is horrible, even if the intention had nothing to do with Cis gender, that is what people will associate it with. Just don’t fight that uphill battle.
