Yeah, the <ch> and <sh> being the same is usually my Swedish detector. It is surprisingly common amongst swedes speaking english, and not something that danes or norwegians do.

The thing is the checklist says in a runaway stabilizer scenario, it will trim continously, but MCAS does not apply trim continously. Therefore it does not exhibit itself as a "normal" trim runaway. Checklist: https://i.imgur.com/K7El4K4.jpg

Hence, they might not have thought it was a trim runaway.

The requirement for 24 vCPUs, 24 GiB of memory, and 180 GB of storage for the on-premise management component seems like crazy high requirements for something like that. That is without any actual databases.

There would be a number of ways to do this:

- Strip SSL by for instance blocking port 443 and hoping they fall back to HTTP.

- Get your own root certificate installed on the equipment of the user you are attacking. This is fairly common in corporate environments for instance.

- MD5 collision attacks (although almost every certificate would be SHA signed these days)

SRI doesn't really protect against man-in-the-middle. They protect against somebody having access to manipulate the data on the CDN or a malicious CDN.

If an attacker is in a position to be man-in-the-middle and can already get around HTTPS, they might as well compromise the page loading those resources.

Because once you understand it, WPF and C# is fantastic to work with. It's hands down the best UI framework i have ever worked with.

XAML makes it very easy to layout apps that scale well, and it's built-in states for controls and easy styling is very handy.

Even companies that are great at building fantastic products and great technical solutions tends to struggle customer service organisations. It seems they always assume that everything fits in to neat little buckets, and require adherence to them. This is true for both Google and Valve (Steam).

Trusting your customer service teams to have a great degree of autonomy in solving issues can sometimes be really important.

It's a shame you never know whether a company has sucky customer service before you buy their services.

Yeah. It's extremely disappointing that AWS hasn't implemented DNSSEC in Route 53. Even more so, since they have actually been a target of an attack on Route 53, that would have been ineffective if DNSSEC had been enabled.

He pulled it himself.

But it's quite interesting that Apple seems okay with not taking a cut of e.g. Uber, but does want to take a cut of Spotify. Why should they be treated differently?

> Not really, it's 30% for everyone, not just Spotify.

As they mention on the website. That's not true. It's not 30% for Uber or Deliveroo. And most importantly, it's not 30% for Apple Music.

I don't think Spotify complains about customer acquisition costs. They complain about having to give away 30% of their revenue forever. That's not the case on the PC, or anywhere else.

> Not so as I understand it. Only if you put the option to subscribe into your app in the app store. That cost doesn't exist for Mac or PC, but Apple doesn't heavily curate and have costs associated with the wild west of downloading apps from the web.

The cost is there whether or not you pay through the App Store mechanisms. You have to pay it, even if you provide your own payment mechanism.

> There are significant costs associated with the app store, no? Part of the reason users gravitate towards the iPhone is because you can download high quality apps without malware, viruses, etc.

Sure. Then charge all apps for the cost of being in the App Store. It doesn't excuse a situation where Apple directly competes with Spotify and then charge Spotify 30% they don't charge for Apple Music. Thats a textbook violation of antitrust law.

> Conceptually I'm with you. This is an area I'm struggling with though. The Apple Online store charges accessory manufacturers a fee to be featured there. Should Apple also pay a fee to feature their own products there? I don't think so.

You can buy your accessories other places as well. Apple's Online store doesn't have a monopoly on selling accessories to iPhone users. The App Store on the other hand is the only mechanism to sell to iPhone users. The alternative is to allow competing App Stores on their platform.

Norwegian approximately at the same time announced they were grounding their 737 MAX 8 fleet: https://media.en.norwegian.com/pressreleases/norwegian-tempo...

But agreed, Norwegian can't be happy with Boeing at the moment.

I mean, it's not really completely made up. Just look at what happened with the CSeries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSeries_dumping_petition_by_Bo...

It does have multiple languages. Clicking the settings icon right between the button to switch to numbers and the emoji button switches languages. You can also hold it down to go to settings.

> Any reasonable hardware provider will include an option for 3-year warranty.

Did you include the cost for that in your scenario?

I think that's more of a US versus the rest of the world thing. You can't do that anywhere in Europe with any carrier either without incurring change fees. Standby and same day changes is not really a thing outside of the US.

The site addresses this pretty well at almost the top of the page:

- If your flight is within the EU and is operated either by an EU or a non-EU airline

- If your flight arrives in the EU from outside the EU and is operated by an EU airline

- If your flight departs from the EU to a non-EU country operated by an EU or a non-EU airline

- If you have not already received benefits (compensation, re-routing, assistance from the airline) for flight related problems for this journey under the relevant law of a non-EU country.

So pretty much all flights departing from within the EU is covered.

I am not sure that is really a trustworthy source at this point. Particularly since it seems to focus a lot on involving Hillary.

Absolutely. It's completely stupid to go back on a deal when they were upholding their end. It means that there is no point in any country doing long term deals with the US when they know the next president is just going to tear it up if they feel like.

I'm surprised that Britain is even behind this, as they might have been a bit nervous about the US response, considering their ongoing Brexit.

This is a great example of how current US foreign policy means a loss of soft power all over the world.

I do think that this is a win for world stability though, trading tends to help relations, which helps stops all sort of unpleasantness. Whether this will be enough i don't know, but it seems like a good step forward.

And even worse when dealing with PlayReady. In the time i have been working with it, they have been switching between at least 4-5 different "Connect"-like portals for feedback and support. Each time dumping all the content from the previous that was no longer accessible.

Yes, that is what is used with MPEG-DASH and HLS too. But none of the DRM systems implemented (beyond ClearKey) is used on just pure MP4 files. So while EME works in either case, nobody is doing it with the file formats natively supported. It's pretty much always in combination with https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Media_Sourc...

Why not use something like video.js which already has a number of pluggable backend and third party plugins supported. Just for the lack of TypeScript?

The <video> tag for instance doesn't support MPEG-DASH and HLS (outside of Edge and Safari). So if you want to do DRM or live streaming, that isn't supported. Thats why this project bundles shaka-player and hls.js

There are a lot of work in the area of reducing this for segmented output too. Including solutions such as CMAF. BBC has a lot of information about their testing here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/projects/low-latency-live-streaming...

I've seen solutions from Akamai that go down to a second or two even with this approach, so i think it's coming pretty close.

It's undignified because it's prizes to the highest performer, instead of bonuses to everyone meeting a certain goal.

They are essentially pitting employees against each other, because if i sabotage someone else, i have a better shot at winning.

If they did it by saying "everyone that meets this specific standard gets a bonus of X" then i don't think anyone would really complain. But because they are overworking themselves to have a chance to maybe get a prize, it seems unnecessarily exploitative.

I am going to need some sort of citation for the idea that Europe has high corporate taxes. According to KPMG the EU average is lower than the current US corporate tax rate. Furthermore, setting it at 37% is 3% lower than the US tax rate was last year. I don't really see any downside to doing this. It's not like companies are not going to do business in Europe, it's waaay to attractive a market.

Also, "spending money on immigrants" sounds like it's just being given to immigrants, the money is specifically to countries cope with the cost that is there already. It might fuel right wing nationalists, but that seems to happen anyway, while they are busy doing their thing, it would be nice if the sensible people tried to tackle the issues at hand.

Yeah, thats not true. The chart you link to says new first officers based in Dublin make 78.400 EUR (with "Productivity" which might not be guaranteed). And since Stansted Captain salary is lower, i would suggest that Stansted FO salaries would be lower too. Additionally, other bases in southern Europe might be even worse.
