Pretty sure it was a sarcastic comment because Apple has a penchant for taking existing product and 're-inventing' it as their own.

This happened a few times to 737.

Another one. https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Avelo-flight-from-Tw...

It's not specific to 737. 787 also had a bunch of cracked pilot window issues not related to external impact.

1600 ish down to 1100. That's a big percentage cut, but not a big number cut.

I'm surprised they're not just letting natural attrition run its course.

All Max have tarnished reputation now, especially in light of this max 9 variant having this issue.

Interestingly, the sealed door only relies on a bunch of bolts to hold it against cabin pressure.

The article only mentioned 737 Max. By now, I'm sure many would want the full Max list given its spotty track record.

If you want airlines that are flying 737 Max 9, there aren't many. And you can get that list here.

Lion Air

Thai Lion Air

United Airlines

Copa Airlines

FlyDubai

Icelandair

Turkish Airlines

Aeromexico

Alaska Airlines

SCAT airlines

And all US carriers + Turkish Air + Aeromexico have grounded it.

Just go to this page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Boeing_737_MAX_orders_...

Then sort by "Total Deliveries" Column.

You'll get a list of airlines that have taken delivery of the Max. (an inverse list)

Southwest 187 United Air 136 Ryanair 124 Alaska 63 American 55 Aeromexico 51 Flydubai 49 Air canada 40 Copa Airlines 26 Turkish Airlines 25 WestJet 23 Lion Air 22 Akasa Air 20 Norwegin Air 18 Air China 16 China Southern 16 China Eastern 14 Ethiopiean Airlines 13 SpiceJet 13 Singapore Airlines 10

etc.

A few years ago, I happened fly on Southwest flight on a brand spanking new 737 Max. The captain announced that it was the first "Revenue Flight" of the plane. That was exciting.

Isn't the most expensive fish Kohaku koi? I think some go for $1mm+

The article basically quotes this video clip of Clay Christensen.

I included this video in a onboarding guide for my team and many enjoyed it.

Recently Amazon has been sending me items that were clearly returned and poorly repackaged or damaged in the last year. This isn’t something I encountered or noticed prior to 2023.

Their screening policy for returned items may have changed.

I'm guessing the reasons why the escalator angles are so steep is because the height between the floors haven't been increased for greater clarity and are not to scale.

OpenAI may have had some leg to stand on before. But once you start monetizing, all bets are off.

I have a feeling the biggest blunder Musk made isn't verbal gaffes, but renaming Twitter to X. He basically gave business away to Meta on silver platter.

There was only one company to which Figma was worth $20 billion and that was Adobe, because it was a long term threat.

I just hope Google or Msft doesn't get any funny idea to buy Figma.

I wonder if Figma is cashflow positive. They must've hired an army of people over the past 18 months. The $1billion cash infusion will help for sure.

I guess albatross (or birds?) don't exactly age physically the way other animals do? It's wild to think that she was laying eggs in her 70s, and still don't visibly look different than other albatross fraction of her age.

Simply remarkable.

"According to a recent report of 750 business leaders using AI from ResumeBuilder, 37% say the technology replaced workers in 2023. Meanwhile, 44% report that there will be layoffs in 2024 resulting from AI efficiency."

These are specific enough to be credible. If you talk to leaders in customer service / call center operations, they've been planning this for years.

Is this creating some new AI jobs? Sure. But that's a separate issue because peopel who are getting laid off aren't the ones taking up those new jobs.

The layoff has been happening.

Over 240 workers in a call center were laid off this week in KB Bank (a Korean bank) because AI-based consultation tool reduced call center volume by 20%.

Plenty of real life examples happening across the globe.

Adoption is a big issue with design systems. More complex it is, the less adoption you're going to see (or incorrect usage).

It's amusing to see deeply nested and abstracted components with fancy properties in a design system. Makes you wonder who they're building the system for.

If you look at mature publicly available design systems, they have all evolved over the years towards more simplicity and flatter structure. Google, Atlassian, etc.

I agree. You also get 'trapped' on some screens because all of a sudden you've lost all navigation cues, even the swipe up bottom nav.

Me too. Though I personally enjoyed My Liberation Note more.

I love that they released the report in Excel format. They collectively saved millions of man hours across the world from doing useless data scraping and reformatting.

I had seen the video before but completely missed the video conference capability. I wonder what network line they used for that. Simply amazing

Most of my favorite local restaurants use other platforms now. It's been 3 years since I've last used Uber or DD. If they don't deliver, I just go pick it up myself.

I agree, but this part bothered me.

"Today, we still have too many people dedicated to supporting work and even doing work around the work rather than contributing to opportunities with real impact. More people need to be focused on delivering for our key stakeholders – creators and consumers. "

While this is likely partly true, this is mostly management's fault. I didn't see anything in the email that talks post-mortem about the root cause and how it will be prevented going forward.

The article is about Mars….

I have a feeling Tesla truck wouldn’t even sell in EU

Believe it or not, real GDP. Straight from the BLS.

"Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 5.2 percent in the third quarter of 2023 (table 1), according to the "second" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the second quarter, real GDP increased 2.1 percent."

I feel like Flash was a technology that served to bridge the gap until faster cheaper internet and video streaming / hosting became mainstream.

These days, the demand is still there, but too niche, with people primarily using mobile device for content consumptions, and plenty of rich media content available in form of videos.

John Oliver took a big swing at McKinsey a few weeks ago.

It doesn't seem to say much at all, which isn't surprising. Without having full details though, the optics isn't good, and I do feel this will have a lasting damage to Altman and a few others as well. It isn't just the board.
