Except the DC-10 had serious flaws in the mechanical designs, the 737 MAX just doesn't have this kind of thing.
Yes it does does. The 737's landing gear is so stubby that it risks a tail strike on landing and can't flare properly, so is forced to land at higher than optimal speed, requiring more runway length and otherwise reducing safety factors. And the stubby landing gear also caused the crashes, by forcing the large turbofans to be mounted so far forward it makes the plane inherently unstable in near-stall, which unfortunately is the normal condition at takeoff. Instead of naturally dropping the nose in a stall, the 737 max will go even deeper into the stall, which will be followed by a cartwheel or catastrophic dive.
Boeing needs to admit it: the 737 had a glorious run but now in its old age is nothing more than an obsolete old wreck of an airframe that is dangerous to fly. It just can't be stretched safely without design changes so fundamental that it would become an entirely new type. The 737 should now be retired to the junkyard of aviation history instead of shuffling along like the bloodthirsty old zombie it is, and murdering more unsuspecting passengers.
The issue is physics. Obviously, the idiots who specced this product believe themselves to be smarter than physics. And of course, smarter than their engineers who no doubt could have provided useful guidance if permitted. Product manager's point of view: obviously I'm smarter than you because I'm a manager and you're not, right?
This article is just out to kiss Zuckerberg's ass. As a counterexample we have the Oculus acquisition, distinctly unprophetic. No, the world is not planning to do all its interpersonal interaction wearing head mounted displays. Reminds of of "Grand Architect Gates" where Gates was held up as somehow visionary, despite evidence to the contrary. Result: the Longhorn fiasco.
Zuckerberg is just a dickhead voyeur with PHP skills who won the lottery.
Never sailed a yacht in heavy weather, hmm? If you meant, a harbour yacht doesn't ship much water then you'd be right. But that's not what we're talking about
Google could have saved themselves a lot of trouble by just dropping Java in favor of C++. It's not like app development would have slowed down at all. They can still do that and it would still be a win.

Each one of those pardons will be a criminal act.
You did not. You found the guy who knows why the 737 is obsolete junk and would advise friends to avoid flying in them.
But I guess, we found the Boeing stockholder.
Well, and Gmail. The principle developer of which gave them "don't be evil" and of course he is now gone and they erased the moto.

And probably Trump is involved in it.

Well, and poor nutrition, somewhat the same sort of thing as poor health care.
The stagnant height of US men was likely caused by the lack of universal health care.
Wikipedia says 5' 11" self-reported. Self-reported.

Standing next to any commercial building. Perhaps a bowling alley.
Neither extortion nor blackmail requires a threat of a criminal act, such as violence, merely a threat used to elicit actions, money, or property from the object of the extortion
Burn down their building and sow the ground to salt.
Definitely cemented his status for the rest of history, as a moron.
It's just more fake posturing from dickwad Zuckerberg to avoid actually doing anything.

This fiasco was entirely the triumph of power point waving product managers with vision over engineers with some competence in physics.

Maybe they had a database app, with per-core licensing.
Don't laugh, it would be 100% waterproof so you can use it on your yacht.

Right. Fucking idiots.
Always a pleasure when Apple gets whacked by patents. Only because of the round corners and all that swaggering.
