It could be the blurry object under the fuselage, just to the right of the left engine.
And here's a YouTube video showing a Ram Air Turbine (RAT) being deployed on a 787 for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFBCGf50Trc&t=69s
During the presentation, they attempted to summon the car twice, but it failed to move. A photo from the event shows an employee holding what appears to be an industrial-grade remote controller.
Highly recommended.
I've delivered large amount of value to business with boring technologies like Java, Django and made good money in the process. Sometimes all the client needs is a simple CRUD app. Coincidentally, I turned 40 this year.
For example, in EU car manufacturers have to keep average CO2 emissions of new car sales below 95 g/km. VW buys a large amount (I believe it was around 37%) of their ID.3 electric car to reduce the average emissions of their newly sold cars.
So what you suggest is we take money from poor people and burn it. I fail to see how that will help.
Do you honestly believe that given enough money politicians can come up with a viable solution for climate change? Mind you those are the same people who want to end privacy on the Internet[1].
Same people who came up with European Union’s biofuel mandate which caused deforestation of Indonesia for palm-oil plantations. Across the pond, it's the same people that subsidized ethanol fuel which, more or less, benefited only corn farmers.
Does Electrolux/AEG care? No. They don't care about the environment, their only obligation is to their shareholders. But frankly neither do I anymore. Next time, I'll buy the cheapest one and when it inevitably breaks down I'll throw it away and get another cheap one.
It's absurd that in the world where planned obsolescence, cruising industry and fast fashion exist, ordinary people are tasked with saving the planet. This is like trying to improve performance of a program using naive algorithm with O(n^2) complexity by rewriting it in assembler.
I had a misfortune to work on a project where this exact thinking was used to carve up relatively simple system into about a dozen microservices. Turns out referential integrity and transactions are really, really useful. For example, most task required calls to multiple microservices and if something broke in one of the microservices involved it would often leave other microservices in inconsistent state and retrying failed task became almost impossible. Project was scrapped after 3 years of development.
It shows all the extensions and you can quickly pin/unpin them but is that something people normally do? I believe most people decide if they want to have extension in the toolbar or not when they install it. All other options are in a submenu so it takes two clicks to get to them at which point you might as well open `chrome://extensions/`. And then, to add insult to injury, you can't disable extensions through extensions menu. You have to go to `chrome://extensions/` for that. So what's the purpose? Pin/unpin? That can't be it.
First off it's painfully slow. Then you go to manage users. There's a list of users; so far so good. Then you try to add a user. First there's a loading(?!) indicator. Then add user dialog shows up. You fill in the form and add a user. Dialog closes and the list of users does not refresh. You don't see the user you just created. It shows up only after you reload the page. How does something like that event happen?

On a more serious note; I could not believe how little, at least from looking over my roommate's shoulder, Linux desktop experience improved since I last used it in 2005.
Problem with MCAS, as implemented on MAX, is that it has too much authority and can prevent pilots from maintaining controlled flight under certain conditions such as if feed wrong input from angle of attack sensor.
There are aircraft that are aerodynamically unstable and require flight control systems to maintain controlled flight but they are not used in civil air transport.
(2) I would argue that it's a rare case you don't care about errors.
(4) Multicore support in Erlang was not always great and you would run into all kinds of problems after 2-4 cores. Than for a while it was 12-16 cores. Not sure what the limit is these days.
Again, I am not arguing Java over Erlang. There is no lack of great examples of large successful project running on Erlang. For me and my team Erlang was just too much hassle for not much gain. Your milage may vary.
