That new software needs to be audited, source code and all, by outside experts. The first thing that was drilled into me in basic instrument flight training was never to fixate on one gauge. Boeing seems to have committed a transport category aircraft to just that.
In the 1980s I worked for a company that ran its payroll through Wells Fargo almost entirely through direct deposit since we were a branch on the east coast. One time they botched the ACH transfers so that money showed up in employees' accounts as expected then disappeared, resulting in bounced checks and ATM withdrawals. Without notifying anyone they printed paper checks and sent them to the companies involved (supposedly all with paydays that day). This resulted in numerous employees being hit with overdraft and bounced check charges, which we covered, but it probably tarnished their credit scores. I don't know if Wells Fargo ever reimbursed us, but I know we fired them.
What is seldom mentioned is that the British sent the design for the Bombe to the US where hundreds were built and did the bulk of the decrypting work. This is nicely presented at the NSA museum at Ft. Meade, which also has several Enigma machines, including a pre-war commercial version, and a section of a Bombe on display.
The top end turntable motors were induction rather than synchronous. A synchronous motor changes its phase angle relative to the power source due to load variations much more, leading to excessive wow. I think there were hybrids that melded the advantages of both, but it has been too long, and I was never really into motors.
Also they have been around since well before crystal oscillator based clocks were economically viable for consumer use. Power companies would tune the frequency to keep them within several seconds. This is going back 50, maybe 60 or more, years. They had an advantage over crystal based clocks in that long term drift was eliminated by the tuning.
These studies always make me wonder whether they are taking into account that techies graduate into management and other higher paying jobs. It may be that the higher earners are getting sorted out of the studies by that age.
Their older DSL modems used to operate purely as a modem if you connected using PPPoE. I don't know whether that is still an option. Of course then you have to provide your own firewall, NAT, and DHCP.
I think the case was started under President Carter and the resolution proposed by AT&T itself, but the comment is insightful. As I recall, and I'm that old, it had become clear that the monopoly was holding up progress, keeping prices high in the face of face of falling costs, and restraining technical advances. The Carterfone (no known relationship) case comes to mind.
Quite a number of years ago I worked for a British Telecom joint venture. The old BT hands like to laugh about sabotaging the connections of their then sole competitor, Mercury Communications.
My take after working for a number of telecom companies is that there is a pervasive culture of impunity.
That sounds like pure ethical relativism, which isn't sound. If someone thinks it ethical, nay a duty, to exterminate all the left handed, it is OK to push my opinion on him. There may be hard problems and the answers may depend on details, including social circumstances, but there is a difference between right and wrong.
Yes. This is a glaring anachronism. Terminals didn't take over until some time in the 70s. Even in the late 60s multi terminal computers weren't really stable. The predominant model was batch processing. Programs were written by hand, often onto specially ruled coding sheets, and carefully reviewed before being punched into cards, which were ultimately fed into computers. The results would be printed out to be reviewed hours later.

Why not just tax the receipt paper?

Why are they not subjected to civil seizure? I think we all know.
Might have something to do with the high age adjusted suicide rate.

They charge for the service.

Fill the fields with plausible garbage. If the data has no legitimate usage, poison it.

I don't think of gold as a hedge. It is more of a speculation. Like other precious metals its value is pretty volatile.
The "robot" is used for a lot more than heart valve surgery. I think it is currently the gold standard for radical prostatectomy.
Are you trying to Hatch a plot?

That is a type P passport, not a diplomatic or official passport. It is probably a fake.

The system does nothing autonomously. I've also read that it takes a lot of training to learn it well.
Also, hydrogen is an intermediate in the Haber process for producing ammonia for fertilizer. You are essentially burning food.
The article centers on problems with Volkswagen's system, but how well does Daimler's BlueTEC system perform?
