I used one extensively to map residual stresses in sintered ceramics

Assuming that "bad developers" is indeed the root cause, that still sounds like a systemic issue to me:

a) are the developers bad because they were hired that way? maybe the hiring process is broken

b) are the developers bad because they are not managed/trained properly? maybe managers aren't doing their job, and maybe it's not even their fault because they did not get training in how to manage people in the first place

c) if you implement extra layers (or "synergy coordinators") it probably means that the company hasn't figured out how to communicate properly

Not the person you were replying to, however for me it mainly helped me understand that my loved ones' drinking was not something I could control, and it allowed me to let go of the anger and resentment (easier said than done).

Same here, been to Al-Anon meetings in London UK, all hosted in church basements and with zero religious nonsense being spouted... just the Serenity Prayer and tbh that one is just plain good advice so I did not mind :) I have nothing but praise for the 12-step system as I experienced it

I would avoid anything provided by Laureate Online, I have an MSc from the University of Liverpool that was provided by them and although the degree was legitimate, the quality of the "tuition" and course material was very low; ultimately I still got some value out of doing the coursework and dissertation but definitely not good value for money IMO.

Why not make it Early Access (if you're actually planning on releasing a fully fleshed out singleplayer campaign), brand it as a sandbox game and be clear about what's working and what's not yet implemented? I would buy this game based just on the info you put on the website :)

It's an interesting conundrum, because ultimately the FAA doesn't have more engineering expertise than Boeing so all they can do is force Boeing to prove that they have done their due diligence in confirming that the 737MAX can be operated under the same type rating as the 737NG.

I'm guessing the next step for FAA and EASA will be to revise the process under which this approval was granted to Boeing.

Taking your argument a bit farther: let's assume that indeed the only issue present is a faulty MCAS implementation and that gets fixed. If the aircraft comes with additional training and certification requirements for pilots before it can be safely operated, then arguably it cannot be lumped into the same type rating as the 737NG.

This would destroy the main selling point for Boeing (training pilots for a different type rating is a massive expense and headache for airlines), and would also mean that across the world there would be no pilots allowed to fly the existing 737MAX.

The point about not cancelling the 737MAX because of the risk that the new models developed would be rushed and unsafe due to Boeing rushing the development of a new design is... not very plausible I'm afraid.

No it didn't, you uninformed person. The two companies are in talks about a joint venture, but it's not yet ratified because the antitrust authorities in several countries haven't finished their due diligence yet.

I'm just glad that Tarn is finally looking concerned about his own health, considering he has (according to interviews) been living like a hermit and subsisting on red bull and soft drinks...

Yes they are (2x as much as me), and no you don't.

I'm afraid that this suggestion is a bit glib and simplistic: there are people (my S.O. being one of them) who despite no alcohol, no artificial light after dinner and all doing "all the right things" still can't fall asleep before 2-3am, which then leads to 4- or 5-hour nights all week long. For them, catching up on the weekend is the only solution (albeit an imperfect one).

I read the first and while the ideas explored were interesting, I found the writing itself to be completely off-putting:

- first of all, Three Body seems like the most boring videogame ever developed, not sure how people could actually be believably playing that.

- the characters are pretty much caricatures of stereotypes (the cop), or just plain uninteresting.

- the massive exposure/infodump chapters killed the immersion from me, especially the ones written from the point of view of the other side of the conflict: it really felt like the author was getting towards the end and wanted to Explain All The Things, but couldn't find a subtle way to do so within the narrative, therefore decided to just vomit it all in a single spurt.

I was really looking forward to it but found it disappointing, won't read any more from this author.

I don't believe in good faith arguments when it comes to services operated by big corporations: regardless of the good intentions of the humans originally involved, the corporate machine at some point takes over, and rules are enforced in such a way as to maximise share/stakeholder value and/or to minimize their risk.

If something is not explicitly allowed under the rules, I wouldn't trust that it's going to be allowed by some discerning human of goodwill.

I keep on trying to love duckduckgo but find that often even typing the exact title of an article I'm looking for, it's not on the first page of results...
