Actually, increasing thrust does cause a pitch up on this model of aircraft. Go to YouTube and look for Mentour Pilot. He has several videos covering a wide array of aircraft questions. He has a few about the 737 MAX, at least one about pitch changes caused by thrust on various aircraft, and why the MCAS system is considered necessary for this particular aircraft.

From my own other reading, it appears that the greatest contributor to the MCAS system "software failure" is that the system relies on the input from one sensor (that is known for having an unacceptably high rate of failure) unless the aircraft purchaser paid for an upgrade that can include input from another sensor. No matter how good the code might be, crap input from a failed sensor is going to result in crap (read: fatal, unless your pilot knows how to override it) output. In the latest incident, the pilots had no training on how to override the MCAS system.

Give that Neubauer has an, until now, record breaking midichlorian level of 8997, It makes me wonder if Saelee has a level of...

OVER 9000!!!

I never read the manga, but I enjoyed the anime.

Here's a link to the Wikipedia page about it.

Our new microcode reduces performance so much that we must muzzle those who analyze these things for a living to prevent them disclosing their results lest it negatively impact our stock price in a manner sufficient to affect the valuation of those in our organization whose position begins with XXO (Something Something Officer), at least until such time as the proper retirements and/or significant stock sales are complete.

Not entirely. Mickey Mouse and other original creations of Disney existed before they made a Jungle Book movie. Disney did benefit from being able to utilize public domain material, but that wasn't the entirety of their efforts.

Once they got big enough to make sufficient campaign contributions to influence copyright terms, they benefited from that as well.

The Jungle Book was first published in 1894. The copyright laws of the time had a much shorter duration. If I remember correctly, it was 14 years from date of publication with the potential for one optional extension of another 14 years.
Disney's version was taken from the public domain.

There is no double-dipping in this case. Both sides are getting charged separately for access, which is fair. Consumers pay for Internet access. Netflix pays for their Internet access out of what customer of their service pay them for their service.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, but that's what I was trying to say.

Essentially, with NN, everyone got charged the same rate for the bits they used without consideration of what kind of data those bits were. Without NN, the ISPs will try to charge more for certain types of data. Or more accurately, they will charge you more to not degrade the delivery of those bits.

The only reason that the large ISPs hated NN was that it didn't allow them to use their typical "if value, then money" rent-seeking monopolistic means testing.

They were forced to provide a service for a fixed fee that could not be adjusted based on the perceived value of the transfer of bits to the customer. That is, if video is important, then obviously providers like Netflix should pay a higher rate. Even better, customers should pay a higher rate to get those bits from Netflix in a "Giga Blast Video Extreme" network package.

After all, why charge only one side of the equation when both the provider and the consumer can be charged?

"Have you tried turning it off and then back on again?"

The class action lawsuit is not because the chipset is easily subject to DoS attacks. The lawsuit is because the chipset is unsuitable for the purpose for which it was sold and marketed. Any modem based on the chipset may suffer latency of 200ms or more and lose roughly 6% of all the data that is supposed to pass through it.

The fact that the chipset is subject to a DoS attack that uses a (relatively) trivial amount of bandwidth is just another reason to avoid modems that use it.

Just because ATT has attorneys does not mean that they are competent.

My favorite quote concerning the competency of attorneys as written by the presiding judge:

Before proceeding further, the Court notes that this case involves two extremely likable lawyers, who have together delivered some of the most amateurish pleadings ever to cross the hallowed causeway into Galveston, an effort which leads the Court to surmise but one plausible explanation. Both attorneys have obviously entered into a secret pact—complete with hats, handshakes and cryptic words—to draft their pleadings entirely in crayon on the back sides of gravy-stained paper place mats, in the hope that the Court would be so charmed by their child-like efforts that their utter dearth of legal authorities in their briefing would go unnoticed.

Depending on where you live, city is the appropriate descriptor. Anecdotally, the city next to mine has a different cable company than the ones (I actually have more than one) available to me. Both cities are in the same county.

Dagnabit! I meant 5-1/4" form factor.

Realistically, there should be several size formats for different purposes and market segments. Google wants a new format for their purposes. That doesn't mean that it would necessarily be good for the needs of someone else.

I personally wouldn't mind seeing the return of the 5" HDD.
Given the more than doubling of area (capacity) in each platter by going from 3.5" to 5", I could live with higher seek times to have a 16TB HDD taking up one of the 5" bays in my PC case.
