Just google "GME Short Float". I would also suggest not using so strong language and almost accuse someone, without at least googling the info.

everytime* not everyone

And yes, I have done it so many times myself too

“I am struggling to imagine the circumstances where ..... can break ....”

If only I had a penny for everyone I heard this argument and we ended up breaking regression tests or something really obscure in the qa or customer setup

> Sometimes even this fails, what can I say.

Not blaming you :D

> Glitches like this are very infrequent if you run well chosen hardware.

1 point sample here but I never manage to get reliable WiFi on a NUC6i7KYK. Hardware that should be included in the “well known” category.

There is no neophobia. This is someone overselling his side toy-project and people calling him out.

I think you are being a bit more than generous here.

What this revealed to be is a bit more than a university Computer Languages assignment.

A toy project if you want.

That looks interesting. Thank for the links

Hmm. But what do they win? What’s the end game?

And yet all the marketing emails somehow make it to your inbox no matter how many times you flag them as "spam"

Basically Erlang.

I had a Pyrex pan shatter. Didn’t bother reporting of course.

> civil disobedience

What do you mean civil disobedience? It’s not like there is a law forcing you to board the plane if you don’t want to.

It’s pretty safe to assume that at this point every fricking pilot out there knows about MCAS and how to deal with it if this specific problematic behavior occurs.

Analogy implies partial similarity. Of course there will be differences.

For a car analogy, imagine Tesla creates a new model that under certain conditions tends to over-steer left. To prevent any accidents because of that, they have added a system that turns the steering wheel clockwise. To disable the system it is not enough to try to prevent by force the steering wheel from turning, but you have to press a button that disables electric steering assistance.

Notice they have never briefed you about this new system because they didn't want to retrain you.

You happily drive along the highway at 70mph when the system malfunctions and incorrectly thinks the car is over-steering left, so the steering wheel starts rotating clockwise. The car swiftly moves to the lane in your right as you use all your strength to prevent it and manage to bring the car back in the lane.

In the mean time all kind of lights and sounds go off on your cockpit. In 5 seconds, while you are trying to find out what to make out of all the lights flashing, the steering wheel starts turning the card right again. This time you are not so lucky and you crash into the truck on your right.

I urge people to read the discussion by pilots regarding the 737 MAX.

It all comes down to this:

"There are far too many aerodynamic bandaids that are permitted to pass the current standards. Not just this particular airplane, but a whole bunch of airframes. If the basic aerodynamics won't pass without the pushers, pullers and now AOA induced changes to primary and secondary controls then a new design of the wing platform should come into play."

The way I interpret this, is that the plane should never have gotten the green light to fly.

More info about the MCAS here: https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/what-is-the-boeing...

Please read the article below taking about MCAS, which is the prime suspect, and tell me if you still think that it’s a political move from the Chinese to ground them, or quite the opposite, a political move from the western world to keep them flying.

Sounds like 737-Max has an inherent design flaw that they tried to patch with a software fix adding unnecessary complexity, a single point of failure(AoA sensors) and more importantly adds an element of surprise for the pilots:

Basically pretty shitty system design.

There is am interesting discussion here:

A hill in Netherlands? No wonder people call it fake...

Last week I had an epiphany about why I do so bad in interviews. Lately I have been getting into playing holdem poker online, and I decided to go to a live casino and see how that would feel.

While there I was as stressed as I am during an interview. When I got into a hand and one of the players raised my bet, I found myself unable to do the basic arithmetic operation of subtracting my initial bet from his raise to figure out how much more I should add to the pot. Even when I was told the amount from the dealer, I was still unable to calculate how many chips that would be.

The feeling was exactly like the one I have when interviewing, my brain is so stunned that is unable to do any thinking at all.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Unless you are hacking the linux kernel, use a type safe language folks.

Yeah. It’s frustrating to be treated like a Cassandra...

Simple way to beat their system: Always enter $0 as tip in their app and the tip the driver with cash or your favorite money app

Why take such drastic measures? Just use their system against them.

What I always, always do, is put $0 as a tip in the system and then tip the delivery person, in cash or using some app/paypal/etc., when they bring my order.

That's like saying being born rich or winning the lottery is a good method to make money

Unless you are huge corp buying ads by the bucket you are not "really a Google customer", are you?

I suspect DoorDash is doing something similar, that's why I always choose 0 tip on the app and tip them cash when they arrive.
