No they’re asking how do birds look like the way they do. In which case the answer is that a bird’s body evolved to be streamlined and lightweight in order to fly more efficiently.

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.

Actually, we should go the other way and have more reveal parties for other genetic traits, and elevate them to the same level of perceived importance as apparent biosex! Let’s have blood type reveal parties! Joint mobility reveal parties! Relative nose and eye position reveal parties! Roof of mouth topology reveal parties!

At least in my state, if your employment is terminated for poor performance, the employer can deny unemployment insurance claims.
Which in itself is a total bullshit rule. What, so people who are bad at a certain job don’t deserve help while they find a job they’re better at?

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.

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?

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. 3 months 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.

A pretty well-written villain. Good redemption arc too. Honestly, better than the newer villains like Starlight Glimmer.

How exactly is "I'm sharing my code with you so you have to share improvements you make to it back to me" considered political?
- Comment on Why this app is so political? 2 years ago:
https://www.matterprints.com/journal/community/the-privilege-of-being-non-political/
The ability to choose to be non-political, and to demand conversations or spaces be non-political is evidence of an invisible privilege not accessible by all.

This is for an internet "challenge" isn't it?
The answer is no either way. It's a stupid idea and will give you frostbite. Frostbite can permantnely damage your skin and make you partially or completely lose feeling in that area. Your little stunt can have lifelong consequences.
- Comment on Why so many commies in this app? 2 years ago:
The devs are communists. A lot of us were attracted to Lemmy instance because of that. Lemmy was also promoted in some communist communities, particularly as Reddit seems to be banning them.
