If the Google pattern holds they will decide that users are the problem because they are using GCP incorrectly and then start cutting the support budget to show how much contempt they have for all these misbehaving users and then eventually cancel the project.

There has been plenty of cynical reporting and editorializing that has made this very argument, that in fact Boeing and the industry more widely has been hiding behind the safety streak up until the moment of the first MAX crash.

The fact that you find my post novel and shocking just shows you're not reading very much about aviation in the past few months.

Your post is borderline incoherent, but I think your point is you want to remind everyone that not all rich people should be treated the same?

Ok I'll add that to my priorities list somewhere below figuring out how to pay for healthcare.

Yes, I agree that the aviation industry hiding behind the streak of years of no accidents has contributed to how bad Boeing became. They were using that statistic as a shield and a hammer to justify further deregulation.

This is a great example of how looking at the world through the prism of stats really limits your understanding of what's actually happening.

Are the simulators run by Boeing or the FAA? Are the test pilots employed by Boeing?

What changes have been made to the regulatory framework to prevent Boeing from signing off on their own safety tests? What changes has the FAA made to bring more public transparency to the flight certification process?

When is the sentencing date for Boeing executives? They are not getting a plea deal I hope?

I'm not worried about the overly complicated flight control software or MCAS, I'm worried about the next system that will fail because nobody at this company seems to care about engineering any more.

It's almost like we are intentionally bending over backwards to avoid hiring some human beings to do some real fucking work.

When did this become the mantra of every tech company? Any time a job is created it's viewed as an unfortunate mistake or side effect? Who are we even building all this for?

At this point Mark Zuckerberg's identity is Facebook. He has never had another job, he never took a humanities class, he never did study abroad, he never spent a summer with normal people working a normal job. His entire life is Facebook. They are one and the same.

Try to imagine your whole identity being tied up in this massive company you made. He has no option but to fight as hard as he can, any talk of regulation is an existential threat to Mark himself.

He has never shown a shred of regret or pause about the past mistakes of the company, it has been full steam ahead ignore the haters at all costs since the Beacon fiasco. Nothing is going to change this company unless an external force comes in and makes the change happen in spite of Mark Zuckerberg.

I'd imagine the major intelligence agencies have already started their own genetic databases, right? Being able to track down everyone at a genetic level is insanely valuable data from a national security perspective.

Given that the intelligence agencies regularly and aggressively hack every telecom and networking company out there, it's pretty likely that they have already hacked the commercial DNA databases, no? Why wouldn't they?

I'd like to think there is someone out there trying to protect my data, but it's much more likely they are just aggregating everything into a single genome DB that will inevitably get hacked or leaked.

There has already been reporting on people leaving ladders and other tools inside delivered 787s. I'm not sure what Boeing is good at anymore besides gaming regulatory systems.

Business schools are going to study WeWork and Adam in the same chapter as Bernie Madoff and MCI Worldcom. This has been one of the most successful scams of all time.

The fact that it was all legal is just mind-boggling.

This is fine advice as long as you're under 35 or so, after that you become completely unhireable in many tech companies so you better hang on somewhere.
