Did you miss the part that Ethiopian bought a 737 Max simulator that for some bizarre reason, doesn't simulate MCAS? Seems like they tried pretty hard to get their pilots checked out on the new plane but in the end, Boeing's screw up(s) prevented that.

1. MCAS suffered from mission creep (ever heard of that concept before?).
2. Multiple engineering and supervisory sections at Boeing and the FAA missed that.
3. MCAS is now more powerful than before and successful operation hinges on a single, error prone sensor.
4. Even the manufacturer of the simulator (Thomsen) who, after all, has to work very closely with Boeing, didn't get enough information to simulate the plane correctly.

Shit happened.

Uh, does Elon know about this?

It has automatic accident reporting. And automatic tracking of every place you stop and for how long. And automatic tracking of everywhere you go. And how fast you go. And how fast you stop.

And you even pay for it!

What's not to like?

That didn't work out so very well in this noted documentary.

"Simply"

You keep using that word.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

What if -

Apple made a mid sized tower. With slots. And ports.

Come on Timmy, you can give the Chinese 300 million and you can't give us a god damned tower?

You're one confused little dude.

Which is why porn is leading the pack. You don't necessarily want mind blistering detail. They're not moving *all* that fast. Content is, more or less by definition, 'immersive'.

What's not to like?

Well, not going there....

How many people do you think you can get dressed in scales? It's not like there are a who lot of lizard people outside of DC.

I think that's a great idea.

I mean, those damned spacecraft really mess up my Wifi. You'd think an advanced civilization would have things cleaned up a bit.

Thanks for the tip.

While that is certainly a reasonable option, I, for one, would lose the damn USB key in a minute. No, keeping the files on the computer is a security risk but, as we have said 10E23 times, security is a tradeoff.

I like the idea that I can have my passwords on my MacBook Pro and my iPhone and my Windows boxes. I think I have something like 700 passwords, most of which are auto generated and so I have no earthly clue as to what they are.

I am not worried that a three letter agency is going to swoop up and look at my emails. They already do that as part of work. I don't want Random Asshole from getting to my bank account or my mistresses phone number (well, it helps to have a good fantasy life....).

Actually, one of 1P's strengths is cross platform. Although I don't think it has Linux support it works with iOS, Android and Windows as well.

Nope. Don't trust nobody. Dropbox, Apple, Google. Anything remotely interesting is encrypted before it hits Dropbox.

If Condoleezza really wants my scheduling matrices, draft reports and the other impedimenta of my life, they're welcome to it.

I just want the same files on all my machines. Without hassles.

I do use 1Password and I'm not terribly happy with this. 1P integrates well with OS X (and iOS and Windows). Agile bits is small, so far reasonably well behaved firm (not terribly happy with the attempt at subscription pricing but I think that ship sailed a while back).

I don't use iCloud. I use Dropbox.

I don't use Pages. I use Word.

I don't want Apple to swallow up everything, thankyouverymuch.

No he didn't, you dipshit.

With that UID I'm surprised that you're even allowed outside.
