That is well reasoned. Regardless of people's opinion of computer control vs pilot control, or whether or not an override is available, the pilot should always know the actions currently being undertaken and the basis for those actions by another system. There are two sensors, the pilot has additional sensory input to determine if the AOA sensor is faulty, the computer doesn't. Even if the computer is locked to never be disabled this information should be available and the sensor selection should be in control of the pilot.
This is not even about aircraft, it is about information from systems that allow people to make informed decisions.
I don't see where frustration is coming from, as these days it's so easy to start and stop subscriptions.
Yeah I know. Just yesterday I was thinking I wanted to a movie so I sat down at the TV, browsed through the library, fired up the website, cancelled my Netflix subscription, jumped on HBO subscribed, downloaded the app to the TV, made some popcorn and... well at that point it was bed time. But it's okay in the morning I... wasn't in the mood for a horror film so I opened up the website, cancelled my HBO subscription, jumped on the Netflix website...
This was a company that once gave employees 20% free time to work on whatever the heck they want and then attempted to monetise the result. This is the natural response to such a strategy. Yeah it may piss off a lot of people who use these products but you can't argue with $40bn / quarter as being a losing strategy.
Most of this could have been written in 1995 and nothing would sound different.
Indeed. A lot of current problems in the world are not new, however action against them is the result of trendy responses to them or sometimes the straw that broke the camel's back.
You have a single data point which only reflects a single group of people. I don't think US companies are desperate to hire more African and Middle Eastern people. Rather educated western workers, and the typical Indian H1Bs are getting caught up in the anti-immigration hysteria. In that regard it's much easier for a qualified white person to get a permit to work in Canada than the USA right now.
They're the reason why everyone has to rely on Google rather than running their own SMTP.
Man if your ignorance on spam was any thicker we could use it as a magic new building material. The fact you can create your own SMTP server in a few lines of code is the reason why we have spam. In that regard every system is vulnerable to becoming a spambot and if you actually knew what you were talking about you'd be implicating Linux, after all it is the Wordpress platform of choice.
4K@60fps is trivial to do with hardware encoders available in any modern graphics card. The bigger issue here is we're talking about getting the feed to the graphics card from custom hardware. That may be out of reach. The hardware may be cheap but the setup to do so would be quite complex.
Normal people don't give a shit what browser they use. The world has conclusively shown the power of defaults matter. Now as for search engine, yes the vast majority will try to pick the household name.
missing any optional safety features that should obviously be standard
Yes I can. I can do it for past and future flights: You aren't.
Calling these indicators "safety features" is dishonest as it claiming it would have prevented the crash given that pilots seemed to know what was going on and were correcting against the plane (at least in the former case).
Now please remove the word "obvious" since there's nothing "obvious" about it.
It's unlikely to have prevented the accident due to there being no safe response here. A system designed specifically to prevent pilots from stalling when it doesn't know what is happening and is giving the pilots the same information you're stuck between: Computer maybe crashing into the ground, and pilot maybe stalling and falling out of the sky.
Preventing the accident involves one of the two faliable systems (the computer or the pilot) being right while at the same time taking control.
That's where HDCP comes in. It is broken for normal 1080p content but effectively it was about detecting a non-certified device (e.g. a recording device) and then preventing playback
Don't mess with english language to try and get your way. Use the linguistic tools as they apply.
A drunk driver killing someone is still an accident unless he was intentionally trying to murder said person. The answer here is not to claim he's being absolved through the use of the word "accident", the answer is to impart specific blame by pointing out his "negligence" caused the accident.
I agree that by no means everyone will view "zero deaths" as a positive selling point.
I don't. Personally I think we don't give out enough Darwin awards as it is. Airbags are crap. I think we need giant stakes in the steering column which will stab people in the heart when the computer detects stupidity.
Car accident? Stake! Cut someone off? Stake! Speeding? Stake! Driving too slow? Stake! Run a red light? Stake! Try to merge onto a highway at 50km/h? Stake! Honk at me because I dared to give way to a predestrian who had a green light and you're just an impatient shit like the guy behind me yesterday? Stake's them in the balls first so they feel pain, then Stake! Drivers with Belgian license plates? Well for efficiency reasons we can just Stake them now since they aren't long for this world.
We'd solve so many problems. No idiots on the road. People would preference public transport. Over population would be resolved. Less traffic. Reduced CO2 emissions.
This is going to happen in the EU in the next year or so as well - I think Apple has something to worry about.
I'm not sure they will. Apple fundamentally on their device in there store is in a different position than any other company owing to the completely closed ecosystem they present. They can absolutely dictate what happens on their platform as long as they apply their rules universally. Abuse of market position would depend on Kaspersky proving that they are indeed being treated differently than anyone else.
This would not be the same as Google doing this on Android as condition of having Play certification (something similar to what they recently got in trouble over) precisely because Android is an open platform used by 3rd parties and you can't use your market power to dictate what 3rd parties do.
Pilots instead of Computers should fly the damn plane.
The industry has achieved its greatest strides in safety by specifically NOT having the pilots fly planes. For every MCAS causing a nosedive, there's 10s of pilots stalling planes and letting them fall out of the sky due to human fallibility.

Why on earth would Tesla have ever allowed a Chinese national near their trade secrets?
Because they are sane and likely agree that just because someone has black hair and yellow skin doesn't make them an undercover spy?

Yeah very stupid. If they want to survive in this digital ag... *whisper* what? ... hold up... $40 billion? ... just last quarter? ... ...
Scratch that. I have no comment about how stupid this tactic is for google.
Competitor to what? The chief complaint about most of these is that they had no competitor.
Step 2: "Oh, it has flooded before? Thanks. I'm not interested in the property."
May I interest you in a really big boat? Lots of space to store animals.
You post gave me cancer. You defended Pewdiepie in your post. Therefore Pewdiepie gave me cancer and I should sue him.

No it's not. But it is far easier to condense a complicated legal and economic process down into an ignorant view of what the labour market is about.

Why? The world has proven quite conclusively that no one cares.
My home theater is still on par with movie theaters
Go to a better movie theater. No your system is not on par, even if you had a mega screen.
Tell me again why I should go to the theater?
You shouldn't. You don't see the value in it the way other people do. But you're an individual.

I can't see anything other than wins here.
Is it really so terrible to stop for 30 minutes after 3 hours of driving?
Yes it is. It's a safety hazard. You should be stopping every 2 hours.

and a few years of massive road blockages
So no change really then.
