iamtheworstdev··on A bad day at the office
it happened by a guy who had literally previously done it and i think at that same airport. i hope they took his license after that last one.
iamtheworstdev··on TSMC is having more luck building in Japan than in America
holy shit what a misquote. For anyone that wants the whole quote:

> Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

iamtheworstdev··on Why the world should say No to Sam Altman
> OpenAI has argued that they literally can’t build what they are building without an exemption from copyright that would crush artists, musicians, writers, and other creators.

This is my favorite thing about what Silicon Valley has become. "But we're disruptors! We can't do what we want to do unless we break all of your laws!"

Epic vs Apple just became Disney vs Apple

The fed is considering dropping interest rates because the commercial real estate market is absolutely effed if they don't and they "need" to protect banks and the wealthy.

iamtheworstdev··on US regulator considers stripping Boeing's right to self-inspect planes
The problem is that the FAA doesn't have the expertise. The people with the expertise all work for aircraft manufacturers. And odds are the FAA will never pay anyone enough to leave the manufacturers to do the job.
iamtheworstdev··on Airbus Shatters Record for Jet Orders as Demand Soars
Is that very typical?
iamtheworstdev··on BC Supreme Court bars man from calling himself an 'engineer'

iamtheworstdev··on California suspends Cruise's autonomous vehicle deployment
not sure if you're trolling or not but last i heard people simply strapping an exercise/weighted wrist band to the steering wheel which simulated torque being applied to the steering wheel which leads a Tesla to believe someone is paying attention. A quick search on Youtube reveals more than a few videos confirming this.
iamtheworstdev··on Southwest cancels 5,400 flights in less than 48 hours
it's definitely epic. I know this is anecdotal but a friend of mine and pilot for Southwest had to pay for his own hotel room after he captained a flight a couple of days ago. SW apparently thought he was in another state (and it wasn't a neighboring one) even though he just flew the flight that they scheduled him on. Not long (hours) after that he was told to drive to the nearest Southwest physical location and check in. Rumor is that all Southwest pilots were told that a physical presence was required to verify location.
iamtheworstdev··on How Tucson is facing up to a megadrought
is it legal for you to collect rain water? apparently it's not legal in a lot of places.
iamtheworstdev··on My Poor Experience With Azure (or why I'm sticking with AWS)
I am convinced that every decision behind Azure goes like this: "Did AWS do it like that? Then no." "But it makes everything we do worse if we do it differently." "That's fine."
iamtheworstdev··on Heathrow tells airlines to stop selling additional flights until September
i suspect they're more worried about maximizing revenue and less concerned about QAnon believers drumming up some stupid shit.
iamtheworstdev··on Heathrow tells airlines to stop selling additional flights until September
RTFA: Kaye’s solution is to cap Heathrow passenger numbers at 100,000 per day for the Summer period, which they are specifying as ending on 11th September.
iamtheworstdev··on The Uber whistleblower: I’m exposing a system that sold people a lie
> mostly

That's a strong word here. I'm sure it had nothing to do with taxis being government sanctioned monopolies in most places that they operated.

Wonder what the going rate for a NYC taxi medallion is these days. I bet it's 1/5th of what it was fifteen years ago.

iamtheworstdev··on Running the Steam Deck’s OS in a virtual machine using QEMU
correct. steamos isn't worth running unless you're using an AMD GPU right now due to lack of hardware support.

iamtheworstdev··on FedEx to close data centers, retire mainframes
there used to be an allegory of how to identify a bad, new CIO... if your current system was massive, networked printers that were shared amongst floors.. the new CIO would come in and give everyone individual printers... or vice versa .. because 'change'

iamtheworstdev··on Anti-Abortion Centers Find Pregnant Teens Online, Then Save Their Data
Don't confuse actual Christians with Republican Christians. The latter aren't worried about the welfare of others.
iamtheworstdev··on Unpaid social media moderators perform labor worth at least $3.4M/year on Reddit
oh they're still doing it. Karen's are making youtube videos of themselves crying while listening to rap because "as a mom" it hurts them that their kid could hear it.

oh don't forget all of the Americans that just played golf in the Saudi LIV tournament
iamtheworstdev··on California is poised to ban prostitution-related loitering arrests
we can't do that in the US because then it would make the (congress)men the enemy and not the women selling temptation.
iamtheworstdev··on California is poised to ban prostitution-related loitering arrests
this isn't decriminalizing their work. they still won't be able to go to the police. this just says that cops need another reason to harass them.
iamtheworstdev··on X-Plane 12 Flight Model Update – Supersonic Transition, Delta Wings and Mass
MSFS is just eye candy. It's physics and plane models are terrible.. especially the avionics last I tried them.
iamtheworstdev··on The Celera 500L passenger plane gets hydrogen powertrain
cleveland and st pete, fl, have awesome airports at risk of closure for no reason other than water front property means expensive condos. only thing saving KSPg right now is that they took FAA grant money and cant be closed for eight years as a result
iamtheworstdev··on The Celera 500L passenger plane gets hydrogen powertrain
is there an airport anywhere that stocks hydrogen fuel?
