We don't even need that. Just have another major volcanic eruption at least on the scale of Mount Tambora (there are several volcanoes in Indonesia capable of this right now) and watch Earth's climate drop by over one degree Celsius and Europe wondering why it froze over in winter.

...Namely with the jet engine suppliers.

CFM International can barefly ship enough LEAP-1A engines for the A320eno Family airliners, Pratt & Whitney has to rebuild a large number of PW1xxxG geared turbofan engines due to compressor disk issues, and Rolls-Royce is having issues with reliability with the Trent XWB-97 engines for the A350-1000. No wonder Airbus is way backed up with aircraft deliveries.

I think the DoJ and FTC are using this case as a test of sorts to determine how to proceed against John Deere, another company notorious for their antagonism towards right to repair. If we see such a case it could hit Deere with multiple billions in fines.

And I'm not kidding, either.

Reason: Boeing management have had a lot of historical clashes with the two unions that represent Boeing workers in the Seattle area, the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) and the International Association of Machinists (IAM) District 751. This is why are these labor clashes that could result in potential industrial sabotage by SPEEA or IAM workers. Indeed, the door blowout issue sounds like something Boeing line workers might do to protest Boeing management policies. It may end up being similar to the issues that plagued General Motors' Fremont Assembly line up until 1982.

It's not build a car per se, but the electronics for the vehicle plus the sensors. That's something other automakers may have an interest in .

That's until some automaker waves a big amount of money to license the technology. Apple could at least make some of the money back spent on the project.

Reason: a lot of the research Apple did could end up on somebody else's car. I wouldn't be surprised if a Japanese automaker or even Hyundai/Kia are looking to license the technology Apple worked on for their own future EV's.

Now you really wonder: what was the _real_ death toll of COVID in China from the fall of 2019 to now? Given the dense living conditions and people with compromised pulmonary systems by breathing unclean air from decades of unfettered coal-fired power plants and the high cigarette smoking rate, the real toll could be in the many millions, but the Chinese government has censored it all.

The expensive part especially. A reasonably equipped Tesla Model 3 can run over US$50,000 easily. I would get a 2024 Honda Civic EX sedan for nearly US$20,000 less if I'm willing to wait a few months.

Is this a possible case of industrial sabotage?

Don't laugh--the two major unions representing Boeing workers in the Seattle area--the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) and the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), have a long history of tense labor relationships with Boeing management in the Seattle-Tacoma region. This makes me start to openly wonder are the line workers deliberately doing this as a protest against Boeing management practices.

Especially since Netflix has access to a massive amount of web server capacity. Some of that could easily be updated to serve live events, especially now with faster servers to show the events with very little "Internet lag."

In fact, watch for Netflix to eventually start bidding on a number of more niche sporting events over the next 8-10 years.

That's why I never considered consuming them. I just at regular Centrum (TM) brand vitamin pills instead.

The latest update to uBlock Origin, Version 1.54, is not really affected by this change. And the Open Source developers behind uBlock Origin are updating the filters constantly as I type this to thwart YouTube's latest efforts.

Also, the effective rise of the public Internet from circa 1991 to 1995 also started to doom newspapers, because news could be sent out in effectively real time, not wait a day for a printed paper. This change really accelerated starting in 2007 with the rise of social media, especially the expansion of Facebook and Twitter.

Simple: the sound of any object going faster than the speed of sound can be VERY loud even without an engine on the plane running. Anyone who remembers the Space Shuttle flying overhead during the landing phase as the Shuttle approaches the landing strip or more recently close to the landing of the Falcon 9 first stage rocket know the very loud and distinct "double bang" of a sonic boom.

As such, thanks to modern computational fluid dynamic research on supercomputers, we know how to shape an airplane so the pressure wave buildup that causes the sonic boom can be dramatically reduced. If the X-59 and the Boom Supersonic XB-1 lives up to their claims, they should be able to fly at supersonic speeds up to Mach 1.5 at 50,000 feet and the resulting sonic boom would sound more like the dull thud of a automobile door closing.
