"Good luck with that though if you have anything more than the simplest of tax returns."
Yeah. I used to live in Massachusetts for a time. They have state income tax, and they had something like three different tax rates for different sources of income. I don't know if it is still like that. Regardless, that was when my wife finally insisted that I stop suffering through the tax returns, and hire someone to do if for us.
Or, you could, you know, engage your representative and senator (R/D/wutevr), and express your point of view in a clear, reasoned manner. Believe it or not, they do listen to your calls and read your letters/emails (at least someone on their staff does. There is a populist movement on both sides of the aisle and the incumbents better pay attention to it, or they will be looking for a new job.
You are apparently unaware of a state named 'Texas'.
"Its also generally questionable about whether it makes financial sense to have a dedicated space, notice how many professional teams share buildings, and rent them out to concerts."
This. I'm unclear how an 'eSports arena' differs from 'a big auditorium' or 'one end of a basketball court'. Both of those are available in many cities.
I think Intel is co-opting someone who, in marketing-speak, is a 'thought leader' for their target audience. We'll have to see how long that lasts for him.
In that case, there seems to be a vast difference between the occurrence of runaway trim versus the occurrence of 'MCAS trying to f@ck with the aircraft'.
Folks, keep in mind that the clocks only have to be synchronized to within the accuracy of the time required for a *human* to arrive, enter a pin, fiddle with paper checks, put them in the depositor, and get a receipt. That easily takes a minute or more. Therefore, that is in NO way a challenging amount of synchronization for these systems.
Even with *really horrible* time sync, they could keep the whole network aligned within five seconds. I am talking about real world cases.
"Regulation is needed for all media outlets with massive penalties for bias and fake news reporting."
How's that going to work? I mean, operationally, who gets to decide when there is enough bias for a penalty? Someone who might also have a bias? Seems difficult to do it well.

If it was their software, I expect that they *would* be responsible for the errors caused by their software.

It's like some kind of...molecular acid.
Mmmm. I'm detecting a riff on scene from the movie "Shooter".

"War is good for business."
Not to be confused with rule 35.
The new name is "the finger". It's still the same finger, but it just doesn't want to me known as "middle" anymore.
Yeah, this is like Rudy Giuliani "getting a call from his wife" during a series of his campaign speeches.
Good eye.

And I can hear him in my head, saying: "We are crashing. Do you concur?"
I am not a pilot, and I have a question. How common is 'runaway trim'? i.e. How often do pilots have to turn off and manually re-trim the aircraft?
A related question: Is there a system that is actively inducing runaway trim? It seems that MCAS is actively inducing trim problems.
Google.

And now, hasn't the taxi cartel been slammed by competition from Uber and Lyft?
Credit from AC's. That, and a sack, is worth exactly the sack.

Therein lies the motivation to institute some level of public subsidy for journalism.
