Nah, they want to put whatever data they want out that serves their purpose, regardless if it’s the truth or not. Whatever they say they’re trying to protect, that’s what they’re going to violate.

science is no longer manipulated or misused to justify political ends.

- Comment on Why is U2 considered "grunge?" 4 days ago:
Achtung Baby was extremely polished and not grunge.
Joshua Tree and Boy were rougher but not grunge.
U2 has crossed between levels of rock (I’m only counting their good albums) but has never come close to grunge.

- Comment on Microsoft Shifts Xbox Gaming Handheld Ambitions to Third-Party Windows Handhelds, Postpones 2027 Launch Plans 3 weeks ago:
“Let” is that the wrong word. Microsoft was setup specifically to make BASIC for the Altair. DOS they stumbled into because CP/M dropped the ball. Every other product, they’ve been chasing new markets that they didn’t think of being in.
I’m critical about Xbox handheld/portable because it was so obvious that that’s where the demand would come from.
However, they’ve been better at monetizing their other software and services better than anyone else though.

And how many years since the Switch? Even the Steam Deck was an open secret for years.

It’s their own fault they couldn’t see a demand for handheld gaming.

Won’t work. Too many different systems between different airlines and aircraft. Pilots won’t be rated to use the right equipment and that’s the last thing you want.
- Comment on Life hack 4 weeks ago:
Airlines don’t typically want to delay aircraft; they usually have to due to mechanical or other issues they have to check. The more the aircraft is in the air, the more money is made.
If you could see the list of delay causes, you’d think twice about questioning delays.

In the 1950s, Louis I. Dublin (1882-1969), statistician and vice president of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, established tables of normal weights for clients, after the company noted that more and more claims were coming from their obese policyholders [1].
They may not have created it but they definitely weaponized it.
