What is the point of your comment about United exploring other options being meaningless b/c they operate a small percentage of airbus'?

This article is signaling that operators are exploring alternatives to Boeing, and revenue could shift from Boeing to Airbus in the future. That's the point of the article.

Boeing is already down 19% for the month - on news of the latest MAX issues. Investors have already hit the stock hard, and an operator saying they'll think about other options won't move the needle in the face of the REAL news that has already hurt the stock. If United announces they are cancelling their 200 Max 10 and Max 8s on order, then you can expect to see the stock dip further.

> United already runs Airbus planes.

Is different from moving away from Boeing planes... United is one of the largest operators of Boeing planes in the world, they have plenty of room to shed Boeing and purchase Airbus.

United is the largest operator of 737 MAX 9s. They operate 80 MAX 8s, with another 50 ordered. They have ordered 150 MAX 10s (which have yet to be delivered nor begin operating).

The article suggests YT Premium users are unaffected by the slowdowns. If you are getting slowdowns, you should message the article author so the article can be updated and YT can be shamed.

I have refused to pay for premium b/c they frequently wrap up paying members in their silly antics, and don't have the foresight to exclude paying users from their ad-block efforts.

>>> Crappy time to be alive in the USA, where a private business can be forced by the federal government to do something against their will.

That's an ironic statement, considering 13 hours ago you were begging the federal government to force RealPage and Apartment owners to stop colluding on rental pricing...

If you ordered new from Ford, you'd get the maverick with your desired options at the advertised price. The problem was, it's such a great truck that the order books for the entire year have closed within DAYS of opening. It's the used ones, or the new orders declined by the customers and then sold by the dealerships, that are ridiculously priced. If you have the time, ordering from Ford is a great option to get a great value truck.

>>> you haven't seen what a lot of them did in the '80s.

The commercial mobile phone network was invented in the 80's. Comparing market behaviors during the industry's infancy to the behaviors of established industries is wrong. The market took some time to figure out best practices, for consumers and industry health.

20's years ago roaming fees and texting fees where expensive, but then corporations figured out unlimited packages were more profitable. We pay a set price now for texting for the month, but it still costs the carriers money for each text we send. The carriers just hope that the power texters balance with the infrequent texters allowing them to turn a profit. The same with calling.

I don't know if regional networks could compete with national networks. I just want to reinforce that market practices at the industry's infancy aren't the same as they are now.

Parents Comment >> People talk a lot about TSMC and the bleeding edge business(computers, phones), but that's just one part of it, but there's a whole industry of embarked software that will likely be much bigger.

Your comment >> TSMC literally has an entire paragraph in parents comment that addresses it.

That looks like a single sentence, not an entire paragraph... And it's a paragraph without supporting evidence. No shocker c7DJTLrn wasn't convinced about parent commenters weak claim.

>> A supercomputer might cost $200M and use $6M of electricity per year.

I'm curious, what university has a $200MM super computer?

I know governments have numerous Supercomputers that blow past $200MM in build price, but what universities do?

>>> I don't understand how this is on the list, if it had no nuclear weapons on board.

The Oscar II class submarine is a nuclear powered submarine.

TSwift also doesn't need the ERAS Tour money, and yet, she's doing it. She is a billionaire, and people don't become billionaires by deciding they don't need $100MM for free. She recognized that $100MM FTX deal wasn't free, she recognized it was a bad deal, and she turned it down. Simple as that.

Every country has issues with scammers and fraudsters. India is hardly alone on this issue.

The SEC is not an enforcement agency and thus cannot give "sweetheart deals".

you don't need to pass through passport control to get on a boat. You can walk to any beach and get on a dingy that takes you to a larger boat.

It is an island, and it's not that hard to get on a boat and sail away. Carlos Ghosn was able to be smuggled out of Japan on an airplane while under house-arrest. I imagine Japan is much, MUCH, harder to be smuggled out of than the Bahamas :)

A "a non-US spec Land Cruiser like the one in the article" isn't close to a new 4RUNNER. New 4RUNNER's are loaded with computers and not easy to fix on the fly. They are also expensive, even for the base model. They also aren't Landcruisers. My understanding is if you want a Landcruiser in the states you should get a Lexus GX460/470 as they are the Landcruiser Prado's badged as a lexus (with only cosmetic differences such as higher quality touch materials (think seats and dash)).

The new 4RUNNER starts at $40k and is loaded with technology. You've completely missed the target

The US Army also issues Gor-TEX branded jackets and boots. You get them your first week in the Army, and every year you get a clothing allowance you can use to get new Gor-TEX products.

That is probably the fastest way to kill crypto. Seizing any coins involved in illegal activity, even if it's been through numerous other owners since (and for legal purchases). Once everyone is asking if the coins they are getting are clean they'll stop acquiring coins.

>>> England give up a bunch of Pacific Northwest territory to the US that it in any case had never owned

That's a very shallow interpretation, as England had laid claim to the land in 1818.

Water levels along waterways (such as the one you linked) will continue to rise maybe another week+ as water drains into the waterways. It takes time for "high" lands to drain their water, and all that water drains into waterways (such as the one you linked). iirc, after Irma a few years ago, it took almost 2 weeks for waterways to begin receding to normal levels.

Hans own coach published a long statement today and admitted in it that Hans did cheat online.

"It is reasonably well established that Hans cheated online at some point."

[1] https://forum.killerchesstraining.com/t/paranoia-and-insanit...

Hans admitted to Chess.com he cheated, that's why he was allowed back in cash tournaments such as Titled Tuesday.

Firouzja was 11 years old at the time of his ban and he was an unknown commodity at the time. He was quickly unbanned b/c it was revealed that he was just a kid developing very fast.

Hans' situation and Firouzja's situation are not the same.

>> And Aqua-Lung wasn't available until after WWII.

Your on link says it was invented in winter 1942/43, WWII didn't end until September 45. That's plenty of time to train, equip, and utilize the technology in warfare. This article may not have been about Aquq-lung, but your book may have been accurate.

"The Aqua-Lung was invented in France during the winter of 1942–1943 by two Frenchmen: the engineer Émile Gagnan and the Naval Lieutenant Jacques Cousteau."

Toto Wolff is also not an engineering or race oriented team boss, he's a finance guy. He lets the engineers and race experts do their thing while he does his thing.

>> SWEs make less (and get far less autonomy--do you think lawyers work on Jira tickets?) than any other professional

Nurses are professionals too, and they will never see anything close to $300k/year.

The FBI are a police agency. "The Police" is not a single organization, it's a collective term to refer to any government agency tasked with policing society for law breakers. The FBI are a federal police agency tasked with a broad scope of investigations into federal crimes. The FBI office in Michigan is the group that dropped the ball on this investigation, but the FBI office in Los Angeles was the first agency to begin a serious investigation, and it was soon after that investigation got rolling that the Michigan State University Police Department started their investigation and arrested Nassar. The FBI later filed charges as well, but idk if it was the LA office that filed charges or if the Michigan office decided to save face and file charges.

Isreal may have only 1/4 the population of California (~10M vs 40M), but they have only 1/20th the land (~20k sq/km vs 400k sq/km). That $4B is aid from the US is a drop in the bucket to their ~$500B GDP, and mind you, states get aid packages from the federal government every year too. I don't have any figures about what California received in recent years, but I'm sure it is far more than $4B.

The challenge of the rich owning the land where a desal plant would go is an issue that can be solved in the current legal framework, but they'd rather scream about the problem than solve it. Desal is also not the only solution, there are political solutions too. Lower income folks could even solve the problem too, with their vote. It's not just a problem the wealthy are preventing from being solved. It's a problem the entire population of california is preventing from being solved.
