The problem is not about if the MAX is the safest airplane now. If Boeing can get away with it like that then it lowers the general airplane safety in my opinion. Now that Boeing has designed an airplane by cutting corners to safe money (even though it did cost them a lot, the government saved them), then this means that other airplane manufacturers must also cut corners to stay competitive.

I don't agree. This way it is a) easier to onboard _receivers_, and b) stays open in the sense that _senders_ can send bitcoins by any app they want (including non-custodial of course).

Lightning network is "off-chain". Basically a network of 2-of-2 locked bitcoins called _channels_ that exchange valid Bitcoin transactions to update the balances within these channels, but only need to settle them by broadcasting them to the Bitcoin network in case of disputes.

That's true I was also thinking about it this way. Granted I hadn't read the whole paper and it is very philosophical, but I don't know how simulations with varying constants over time could help explain the early state of e.g. the big bang, which remains a mysterium for a unifying theory.

I won't fly on it and I don't care how safe it is. The precedent it sets is terrifying. I know people say Boeing got a "black eye" from it, but in reality getting out of this that easy sets them up to a dangerous advantage over competitors in my perspective. Competitors can't compete on safe terms and will have to reduce safety to stay competitive, which ignites a very bad spiral...

Which part of Spain are you referring to? Because at least in Valencia I was surpassed to find a ton of cctv in public spaces like parks and busy streets.

The simple fact for Boeing to continue "operating as usual" without real consequences dis-aligns incentives that have been present until now in air travel making it so safe. The precedence it creates can ripple so that e.g. Airbus also slacks on safety to stay competitive if this is the new normal...
