  Can someone tell me why this is even necessary? Network printing has existed for almost as long as printers have and doesn’t require the cloud. There are standard protocols for discovering printers on the network and sending prints to them. I’m on Linux, have never installed printer drivers or even manually set up a printer, and I can print just fine over the network, it just knows which device is a printer and I can send prints to it with a single click.

  While blockchain is well defined, it in itself is not a product but a technology. I think what the other commenter is getting at is that simply saying something “is blockchain” means very little because what the blockchain does depends on the implementation, so when used in marketing it’s just a nebulous buzzword that doesn’t actually describe the product. Same with terms like cloud, AI, virtual reality, etc.

  Which is definitely just a cover because for some reason they don’t want to admit they’re actually developing supersonic stealth planes for the military. Probably because they’re using people’s tax money to do it and tons of Americans are already sick of how much funding their military gets.

  If the APU is on, there’s hot air blowing out of the very back of the plane. I.e. farting.

  I mean the whole MCAS scandal was that it overruled pilot commands. Not sure if having sentient planes would make that better.

  Might as well clear out some DC-10’s they have in the back while they’re at it.

  The Boeing Autoland feature is activating.

  Please do not resist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hang in there.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC their logic was “well we display the outputs of the two sensors independently don’t we? Why aren’t your pilots paying attention and crosschecking the sensor readouts on our 21st century glass cockpit airplane like this was a B-52 with needle gauges then?”

  What we do know is that they argued that the errant MCAS activation from a faulty sensor was “designed to” look like a stabilizer trim runaway (when the “rear wings” you see on the tail of the airplane start moving without pilot command) and therefore claimed that a “properly trained” pilot should have been able to deal with that since they’re supposed to be trained for a trim runaway.

  This is a garbage argument of course, because a trim runaway is in itself an emergency that threatens the safety of the aircraft, so why the hell should your supposed “safety” system be putting the pilots in that position to begin with? And if this wasn’t a big deal, why go out of your way to hide the fact that a new system on the aircraft can effectively cause a trim runaway? Not to mention that Boeing is essentially victim blaming the pilots that died from their profit oriented decisions by insinuating that they were poorly trained in order to take the heat off their shoddy design. Finally, it should me mentioned that when Boeing had its own test pilots use a flight simulator to demonstrate what a “properly trained” pilot should be doing when MCAS misbehaves, the pilots used unconventional maneuvers that are not apart of the standard operating procedures of the 737 (i.e. not apart of pilot training). What’s more, their own pilots lost more altitude in recovering from the failure than the pilots of the accident planes even had, so wouldn’t that mean that by their own admission the accident planes were in an impossible situation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hang in there.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Boeing got so caught up in their military contracts for the US war machine that they forgot that some planes aren’t supposed to kill people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hang in there.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They also only used data from a SINGLE sensor, which is a cardinal sin in aviation. The plane already has two angle attack sensors, and they even went so far as to make the alarm that warns when the sensors are mismatched a paid option. They wanted airlines to fucking pay extra for the privilege of knowing when something on their plane isn’t working properly.

  I’m sure the top military generals have unlimited sick days though (the soldiers can go fuck themselves they should be dying for the empire anyways). So it all balances out in the end!

  I tried to report a Mr. Beast scam givaway ad I saw on the YouTube homepage. It told me to sign in. I promptly closed the tab right then.

  The two biggest charity events he’s had, Team Trees and Team Seas, he did literally nothing but pitch the idea. He was giving away Lamborghini’s during the period he was telling his viewers to donate, and it’s not like he did any of the work either, he just contracted with established environmental nonprofits. So why is he there again? Why didn’t he just tell people to donate to those nonprofits directly?

  So they’ve gotten better at mimicking other life forms? Is that the canonical reason in the show or is Picard just going against established lore?

  I’m mainly concerned with people using it for calculating things personal to them, finances/taxes is a huge one. While the search engine may not know with certainty what the numbers represent, they have so much data on you that they could well start inferring what those numbers are to add to your profile. I might just be paranoid though.

  I feel like most people nowadays are just typing math calculations into their search engine. Which obviously has massive privacy implications.
