That would have been relevant had the cause not been incorrectly installed elevator control cables and improper QA.
From the article:
Investigation revealed that turnbuckles controlling tension on the cables to the elevators had been set incorrectly, resulting in insufficient elevator travel, leading to the pilots not having sufficient pitch control. Although normally a post-adjustment control test would be conducted to ensure that the maintenance had been carried out correctly, and that the surface was operating properly, the maintenance supervisor who was instructing the mechanic decided to skip this step.
Fine reasoning, if it held exactly true. but humans being what they are, it does not. Many people do eat too much and they are fat. period. I''m not judging, just pointing out that being all touchy-feely and caring counts for nothing is the plane pitches over crashes.
This isn't fat shaming. "Norms" in your use relate to human structure and don't mean mean diddly in an engineering problem. There is no norm human, but there is room for X seats. That's what they want to fill. Flight is cut and dried engineering. If the plane is overweight or hard to trim, it doesn't fly real well and burns too much fuel. So if an airline essentially loses one entire fare due to an individual passenger's weight, who should make up that lost income and operating expense?
Who pays? The airline and the shareholders? The skinny passengers?
It's already too expensive and I don't want to subsidize someone else's fare.
If you're entrepreneurial as well as politically correct, here is your opportunity to run with a startup airline that doesn't use the new smaller seats and isn't concerned with weight because it always flies using only 60% of the available space for seating.
I don't think so. The balance they're working towards is the balance of a plane in the airstream not on the ground. If they could somehow rig a suite of weight sensors for the wheel trucks, they 'd get something, but whether simply duplicating those readings would indicate a properly loaded aircraft, I can't say with certainty. You'd probably need to have many sets of readings to deal with the various configs each aircraft would possibly have: Number of seats, exact fuel distribution (there are multiple tanks and pumping systems), etc...
As other mentioned, the reason they're seeing this issue is the trend towards smaller seats and stuffing in more passengers to fill them.
US ITAR only covers exporting materials manufactured/created in the US. Therefore, any consumer, virtually anywhere in the world can obtain a cheap fiber optic gyro for their consumer grade UAV without concern for the United States's continued irrational paranoia about losing a mythic technological edge.
On an related note, in this case, the ITAR regs reduce market share for US manufacturers and nothing more.
I don't have enough years left to wait for the mythical political re-alignment of the universe.
The US political system is too broken to fix. I'm sorry if that sounds negative, but that's it without sugar coating.
There won't be any presidents who aren't republican or democrat. The money that buys candidates and elections is what put them in office, not their party.
Sorry, friend. America's population is fucked and there's no recovery from this state except a complete change of the political system. The system mostly worked a couple hundred years back, it's design being for a society without rapid communications and where you knew of people, really knew of them, by the reputation they held in their communities, not through the bullshit PR marketing lies spouted by campaign managers and party officials.
I'm not surprised by MSM ignoring Mr. Jones. What he's saying is uncomfortable to many everyday people because they need the reassurance that the government works the way they learned in grade school, and is offensive to those in power since he points out their lies.
Given a choice between Troll Kim Jong-un and Obama, I'd choose Kim. At least he doesn't act like he gives a fuck while he lies. You have to give him points for being up front. Unlike the great change, who's only managed to change the name of the head motherfucker in charge.
Oh, bullshit. Do something useful? Shit. Worthless advice.
You're spouting the same shit people said in the 70's. It didn't work when they tried it then and it's not going to work now. The money behind the throne won't let it happen, and as long as the current government is running the military and law enforcement, there is damn all anyone can do to change it.
There's nothing anyone can do to change shit from within the current political system. It's fucked and it has been that way since the 60's. This is the point where a benevolent government would step in and start providing covert arms and training to wanna be insurgents who want to free themselves and their country from corruption and self-serving, avaricious politicians.
The only people bothered by this are the silly gits who have championed real names on the internet, the people who ignorantly believe they are only allowed to have one identity on the internet, and those foolish individuals who broadcast lives to the world.
Online IDs are cheap. They don't cost anything and you don't need to find a shady character in a seedy print shop to score one.
In addition, I don't buy any products that I have been spammed for, regardless of whether the company that produced the item or who sells the service is the one responsible for the spam.
Whiskey in a large enough quantity to be truly useful is prohibitively hard to conceal and transfer. Whereas a palm full of high denomination paper bills slide across quite handily;-)
That's why I love the Euro so much. €500 notes pack a lot of bang in a small package.
So, WTF are they going to say about this decision once some future update fries a couple hundred thousand (or a few million) desktop machines?
They've obviously forgotten how often that their update service has killed Windows installations. It's a problem they've had since Windows NT days and it hasn't gotten any damned better for all their experience at the task.
A google search for ---> latest windows update crashes computer --- returns over 9 million hits. Obviously, that's not individual occurrences, but it does give an indication of the fucking stupidity of Microsoft's decision.
Cash won't disappear unless the intent is to cripple the economy. After all, it's easier to slip someone a hundred euro that trade electronic payment details. And I doubt if the EU gov't office drones will accept debit cards for bribes.
Dude, you have made an entirely wrong assumption about what "retirement age" people are doing. The retirement age people you're thinking about star in the medicalert and clapper commercials and they were around 80 then, and haven't gotten any younger during the 30-40 years those commercials have been running. Don't forget which generation put all that internet shit into play, kiddo;-)
We're out raising hell, getting high, traveling, messing around, having fun, and doing the crap we postponed to take care of a pile of kids/pets/wtf/etc.
Also, since I don't want to make two posts for neil young's pretentious attitude, let me close by saying that this is wonderful news. No more of his whining, wailing, self-pitying bullshit songs popping up randomly when listen to rock tracks.
... they're ashamed and angered by everyone knowing that they made up a secret club and have secret meetings that any pack of 4th graders would be proud of.
Seriously, ladies, now that the world knows, don't you feel kind of childish?
Greeks: Providing a safety cuddle blanket for insecure high school grads for over two centuries
I was downtown for 9/11 and the last big blackout.
I can tell you from experience that the cell towers overloaded or had lost power within an hour of the planes hitting and almost again instantly when the power went off in the big blackout. During the blackout some cell tower installs were powered from building generators, but there was no where near enough to handle the volume.
Hell, sometimes they're hard pressed to even get in position, let alone operate. Hams have the advantage (if you want to call it that) of more than likely already having hot-damn eager people in place and ready to rock and roll.

The admissibility of the illegally gathering signals intel hasn't stopped the NSA from feeding LEO agencies with that intel.
There have already been courts cases and news articles on this practice.
Do try to keep up, okay?

Yes, but I believe you missed my point.

Since you can buy fiber optic gyroscopes on Alibaba for under USD$20, I think issue of US-centric export controls is moot.
This entire attack mode is now a worthless endeavour given this publicity. Anyone with the inclination can modify the case to prevent resonation.
Thanks. You got in there first. I think perhaps AP's particular G+ community works for him, but his is one of the few.
It's okay. All that silly EU Commission shit will stop when the Islamic Colonization is completed. It shouldn't be much longer.
