I was in the Navy aboard an aircraft carrier. I worked on the avionics but never serviced or knew about the anti-stall systems.
That said, I do not recall two blades on either side of the nose cones.
It sounds clunky to me. Shit that sticks out is subject to damage. Apparently, the two blades could be out of sync. There is a "double-vote yes," system that indicates when the blades are not reporting the same conditions, and a "disagree," warning light Boeing apparently provided as an "in-app," purchase.
Small-revenue airlines did not opt for the expansion pack and didn't get the fucking memo as to how to deal with a cray cray "AI" system that can fly the goddam plane better than a human.
"Stall," has a well-established definition and whatever method of detection works on other airlines is not the one Boeing uses.
... is a buzzword new to me of late and I think it's very descriptive of what happened to Google+.
I have a set, fixed, amount of hours and minutes each day to do stuff. Google+ competed with TV, Facebook, forums, exercise, guitar playing and singing, photography and fiddling with computer shit (I'm retired IT).
I have a Google+ account because I have legit and burner Gmail accounts, but I never posted a goddam thing.
I can't say whether Google+ is a good witch or a bad witch.
I was not willing and able to pay it any attention.
DISCLAIMER: In my old age, I need glasses to read my desktop monitor. My Fitbit had a fit because I didn't see the "+."
For a second, as I grabbed my glasses, I was all emotional because that evil fucking Google, in its entirety, was ending.
... a systems analyst ca. 1990. We were looking at "just-in-time-inventory," to reduce storage space for things the refinery seldom needed, and to replace that stuff with high-volume tools, fittings, and instruments.
The Internet was new and I remember using Netscape to browse, and I was searching with Webcrawler.
In a large conference room, I was slated to show how the Internet (1200 baud US Robotics modem) could help in gathering information.
On the big screen, I projected the search for "just in time inventory."
To my horror, the screen showed a woman to whom nature had been very good and she had one fishnet stocking leg on a stool and was wearing practically nothing else.

My BIL works for Lockheed-Martin and a couple of years ago while he was working in Israel, he posted to his Facebook, the press release that LM had just shipped the umpty-umpth F35.
That very afternoon, the F35 was the subject of a scandalous documentary of overspending, defective product, with pilots saying they wouldn't fly it and that, in the years of delay, other countries had implemented newer technology.
Recall the twin paradox and the loss of simultaneity with Special Relativity. The phenomenon are both "apparent," and "true," depending on the frame of reference.
It took years for that to be accepted and to morph into intuition.
Quantum mechanics is in its infancy and it will be 30-40 years before we get to the same comfortable place.

You've got the wrong economy.
"Attention economy," is the one you're looking for.
In any given day, we have just so much time to allocate to differing activities.
Fortnite, for some, attracts almost 100% attention. No matter your condition, that's not healthy.
Don't sit too close to the TV. The radiation of the CRT will kill you. ca. ~1957
I'm 73 and retired IT.
I perform miracles of a semi-religious nature, and am famous for my ability to synchronize random noise.
It isn't your /. I think the article is especially relevant, given its severity.
I don't know Jack Thompson from Adam's off ox.
I checked my wallet and it inventories well, so fuck Jack Thompson in the ass.
Your goddam fucking UID is not impressive.

Mod this up.
I posted essentially the same. "Laws," of physics have a preciseness that we're continually fine-tuning.
Theories are scientific wild-ass guesses.
It's people like you, stuck in the mindset of WWII, who are accepting old solutions to a new weaponscape. For instance, tanks are obso- fucking -lete.
Fighter jets are great as bombers but who in simple hell is getting into dogfights these days?
Think of drones, autonomous bombers operated from an office in NYC by a pimple-faced kid hired by contractor Booz Allen Hamilton.
Thanks for posting something relevant.

He took the post down immediately.
... precise theory ...
Oxymoron much?
From TFS:
Talk about getting something for nothing . Physicists predict that just by shooting charged particles through ...
"Shooting," and, "charged," suggests expenditures of energy.
That's not "nothing."
Thank you, thermodynamics.
There's the tell.
... the EU and Australia.
Data whoring is getting out of hand.
... journalists got paid for their work.
No one owes Google or Facebook a free ride. Those mega corporations are making money with the links.
Let them pay for the links.
Brexit is stupid.
The initial information and promises made to the UK citizens has proven to be false. Some people went to jail over the deception.
The Leavers are the equivalent of Trump's core of batshit crazy suicidal undereducated white supremacists.
This article is about the EU, not America.
... repeat infringers ...
Why in simple hell didn't they go after those individuals?
ISPs and the Internet infrastructure need to be classified as a utility.
By the music industry's logic, they could also sue electric companies for powering pirate-enabling devices, right?
I never heard of it before and because of that irrelevancy to my existence, I can live without it.
Thanks for asking.
... to ink this one in.

So your takeaway is a goddam motherfucking sumbitching yellow belly blue-balled icon?
The reason this doesn't work:
Trolls are lightning rods. Reasonable people are not drama queens.
Let me guess:
You're a right-leaning troll.
Why isn't this modded up?
