What an insane thing to repeat without any evidence.

Excellent rebuttal backed with facts.

I would bet most of the employees they want aren’t the ones they let go, but probably a lot more who went somewhere else of their own volition.

Lots of good employees leave because even with a great boss, if your boss isn’t getting promoted, you might not have a path for promotion without lateraling into something you don’t like, with new people and new relationships who might be worse.

If you’re going to do all that, you might just do it in a new company.

It’s always easier for companies to richly reward new hires vs existing employees.

lol WeChat who has a defacto government granted monopoly in exchange for all customer data being given to the government is going to drive the innovation?

You’re also assuming there are no other shareholders…………

Sure, maybe those 106 are sharing 10% but I doubt it.

There are many places things get done for refurbishment of seats and interiors - lots in China.

All places doing heavy C and D checks are FAA certified, for US registered airlines regardless of where they do the work.

Delta Techops does lots of work on their own planes and others.

Small airlines won’t be able to afford to run their own heavy check facilities and will certainly outsource.

It will also keep the ambient temperature closer to the target temperature once the cast iron is fully preheated by absorbing heat while the element is on and radiating heat back into the oven when the element is off.

Enterprise NVMe drives can do sustained writes of 7GB/s no problem. That’s 58Gbps plus overhead.

That’s to a single drive.

If you are a film crew connecting and ingesting multiple raw 8k 120hz video to be edited, this is very useful

As to whether they use USB4 v2 or thunderbolt, I’m not sure it matters. They look pretty similar, but with thunderbolt it’s very easy to know what the interface is capable of. Good luck when something says “USB 4”.

USB-C is just a connector - thunderbolt uses the exact same connector.

Storage and creative use cases, 100%. If you have several TBs coming off each camera per day, you will 100% feel the pain.

Just driving two 4K monitors at 40Gbps is pretty much all of the bandwidth of TB3, assuming you’re doing 10b 120hz.

A modern NVMe can easily do 50-60Gbps per drive.

We X-ray these things all the time.

Many many airliners have slid off runways all the time and reenter service.

For decades Boeing sold a 737 Gravel Kit for their planes to minimize FOD ingest on unimproved surfaces.

The gear didn’t collapse. The damage is probably fairly minimal, including the engines which were probably at idle, and they most likely didn’t use or need thrust reversers.

Not saying it’s a certainty if this happened in the US or EU that it would fly again, but it isn’t impossible.

I will say it’s unlikely because getting it out of a field in one piece is no small task - and probably more expensive than the plane is worth relative to the parts value, but not because of any inherent damage. Just because the engines are the most valuable thing on a plane and much easier to take those off the plane than move the airframe without damaging it more.

Pretty sure they know and are making joke.

What nonsense is this. The airline checks your ticket against your passport prior to departure. If airlines board anyone without the proper passport or visa and are rejected on arrival, it’s the airlines’ responsibility to fly you home on their dime.

No airline lets you book an international ticket and board it without a valid passport and appropriate valid visas that match the name on the ticket.

You can of course fly domestically without ID (even getting through TSA, it’s onerous but TSA has a process for that).

Your information on that ticket is also electronically sent by the airlines to the next port of entry for a huge percentage of countries.

If that doesn’t match the passport you have, you’re going to have problems at immigration wherever you’re going.

You can see this is action on any boarding pass you get for international travel.

It will say something like DOCUMENT CHECK REQD or DOCS OK right on your boarding pass.

That’s the good stuff. How much bad stuff? Like, sounds awesome, but if she also got 10,000 beer coozies and bad water bottles and whatever other tchotchke nonsense….

Hopefully with kids in private school you’d have more savings than that, but that’s an easy $15-50k/yr per kid.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the monthly cash burn for a truly middle class family was $5k.

The rule of thumb is 6 months of expenses.

That case is still being litigated:

It is fairly clear the parent isn’t a lawyer. It’s also fairly clear they have very little interaction with law in general. I’m guessing more of the sovereign citizen camp.

I do frequently. If you’re going to be so smug, you should also be correct. They purchase a copy of each media that they loan at any single time.

If they have 5 copies of digital media, 5 people can use them simultaneously. Not more.

It’s why Libby has a waiting list.

The internet archive would have been legal if they had a) purchased the copy and b) had not lent it to more than a single person simultaneously (or purchased more copies). They weren’t doing that. They were acquiring (legally or not, I’m not sure) copies and putting on their website for as many people as wanted to read them.

That is not what libraries do.

It’s why libraries don’t photocopy infinite books so there’s never a waiting list. You can’t do it with print media, and you can’t do it with digital media.

Copyright is federal, not state law. The state or municipal library system would get sued and lose in federal court.

Copyright is federal bub. They get sued in federal court. Or the FBI shows up and takes all their servers.

The congress could choose to alter copyright laws of course to make this legal. But they can’t just do it. And states definitely can’t.

Listen, I love libraries as much as the next person. We have very clear laws that protect libraries.

Is copyright a little fucked and a little too slanted towards those rights holders? Yes.

Did anyone really think it was OK to start adding books and movies in? And provide those for free to everyone simultaneously? Libraries don’t do that.
