I would presume a test they have run would be to dynamical block the pitot tube, then the static air port with the system engaged and at various stages of takeoff. After all these devices were the ones sending back erroneous data that caused the crashes.

They also should not fly if they haven't implemented triple redundant sensors and computers (like the shuttle) for anything with direct access to control surfaces.

Iâ(TM)ve heard from more than one doctor that allergies have become worse these days due to the body NOT being exposed to various environmental contaminats and therefore not building up a tolerance.

If true, what would a generation of kid suffer after being raised in homes with ultra pure air?

"Our government has not provided R&D support or other support that Huawei and ZTE (another successful Chinese firm) managed to get from their own government,"

Well now this is kind of the crux of the matter. State run companies, subsidized by the state competing against private companies that are not subsidized.
And of course this means that the ChiCom government has total control of the products and...total access.

I, "tuned in" to a channel by a guy called Brent Ozar or something. Supposedly an expert on SQL Server.

I asked him in the chat window why SQL Server periodically loses its mind, consumes all the memory on the server (to the point where you almost can't log on to the server) and then stops responding, which is seems to do every few weeks of constant up time. It requires that the service be restarted to fix.

His response was essentially, "it is designed to do that".

So I decided to watch some Fail videos instead of listening to Brent.
