The aircraft do indeed have two angle of attack sensors although only one is used in flight. In the lionair crash the black box indicated that "on the ground" where both sensors should read the same there was a discrepancy.
The MCAS system "could have been configured" to do a basic sanity check on the ground and disable itself if there was a discrepancy but that functionality wasn't added.
Now that Edge and IE are discontinued, will Microsoft's new browser strategy be adding so many windows specific add-ons that Chrome for windows becomes distinctive from chrome on other platforms?
You mean like they've done for Android? With the large collection of Android apps provided by Microsoft you can essentially turn your Android device into a Microsoft phone.
Here's a list of addons to get you started:
Microsoft Launcher
Your Phone Companion
Microsoft Edge
Onedrive
Ultraviolet had a feature where you could share your library with up to 5 people. This allowed me everyone in the family to have a combined collection of movies. I'm currently sitting at over 300 movies. I'd specifically by titles that were ultraviolet compatible so I buy it once and everyone in the family gets a coffee
The problem is the concessions the copyright lobby have forced upon them - they made them implement automated systems for copyright infringement strikes with no oversight and no repercussions for false claims.
If enough people were to submit blatantly false copyright claims, wouldn't YouTube eventually be forced to provide more oversight and implement repercussions for making false claims? This would essentially make copyright infringes innocent until proven guilty.
I'm waiting for the day YouTube starts banning motorcycle chases and the like. Someone is eventually going to make the case that watching such videos encourage dangerous behavior.
They aren't scared of enforcement from SESTA, they got banned from Apples App Store due to child pornography. https://m.slashdot.org/story/3... it appears their solution is to ban all porn in an effort to get back in the app store.
Apparently they changed their policy. No static IP if the customer is using their own modem. Nope, we can't have our old IP back, big FU. We have to pay $19.95@mo + $10 modem lease to get a static from them now. Never mind that this is a bonafide business account.
The reason you need to use a Comcast provided modem for a static IP on Comcast business is because they are routing the static IP's via RIP. The modem they provide for business class customers includes a router with RIP functionality.
The new rules state "to a state of working in accordance with its original specifications"
In other words, you can't hack the DRM to remove an annoying "feature" of said device.
I'm an avid user of RSS feeds. When Google Reader bit the dust I moved to TinyTiny RSS along with many others. It's based on the look and feel of the old Google Reader. I login to TinyTiny every morning to catch up on everything from software updates to the latest news.
In one app I have access to:
The latest news from various sources
News from all the open source projects I follow
Updates on topics I'm interested in. For example, I have an RSS feed based on Google News keywords such as SIP or VoIP. That way whenever a story publishes with those keywords it's brought to my attention.
Product updates. I follow the RSS feeds of various companies for changes and updates to products I own.
I have key worlds set in TinyTiny that group together lists of articles that contain key words regardless of source.
RSS is a huge time saver. It sure beats visiting 100+ sites daily to get the latest news and updates.

There's life thriving in the boiling temperatures of volcanic vents at the bottom of the sea of all places. One of the most inhatible places on the planet.
Haven't we already established that life thrives in places we never thought possible?
Rupert Sheldrake has a theory of morphic resonance. He used rats who's task was to learn to escape from a specially constructed tank of water by swimming to one of two gangways that led out of the water. Successive generations of rats leaned how to escape the water in far less time than the first generation of rats.
His theory is that the knowledge of how to escape the tank was somehow carried from generation to generation.

I'm curious to know what happens to those signed receipts. Do the merchants send copies to the credit card companies in case of a disputed transaction?
Moving to a standards based plug-in system that allows plug-ins to work with Firefox, Chrome and Microsoft Edge with minimal tweaking sounds like a step forward.
Imagine using a NAN aware dating app. Upon opening the app it could display all nearby singles looking for a date. The same could be done with Bluetooth but nobody has done it yet.
VyperVPN hacked OpenVPN to get around the DPI (deep packet inspection) employed on the Great Firewall. They scramble the meta data in packets so as not to look like OVPN packets.

Back in the day (60's maybe?) there was a battle between two nuclear reactor technologies, uranium based and liquid salt reactors which used thorium as fuel. Think beta vs VHS. At the time, due to politics etc the uranium based nuclear reactor technology became the "standard".
A liquid salt reactor using thorium as fuel is far superior in terms of safety and nuclear waste.

I dunno... add industry standard Miracast support to the iPhone.

Assuming he's correct, does this mean that the Prime95 app is now obsolete?
I'm hoping this will spur development of a new encryption standard that's both secure and easy to use.

I doubt they're obfuscating plain text meta-data. What they mean by "meta-data" is anyone's guess considering it's proprietary.
