four million parts, and one whistleblower.

Let's not forget https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/a380-whist...


A very complex story from 15 years ago. There haven’t been many depressurisation incidents on the A380 and like they say in the article, why would they cover this up? Maybe the whistleblower really is just a disgruntled employee.


you will never know if the lack of pressurization issues was because their plan was fine or caused by changes thanks to his campaign. hindsight is 20/20.

the fact that they took that route is the problem.


wrote our own kerberos-aaS clone with less features and vulnerable to more internal attacks than plain kerberos and more reliant in a central cert (not cert authority, cert), that is only used sporadically for cross services, not users (there's something else from major vendor there)

and that team now keeps growing and the feature never improves :)


> that also happens to have a competing product

Firefox is a "feature" for Google Chrome.

The day Google stops paying mozilla and mozilla close shop, they will get the same treatment Google itself set up in courts against Microsoft for IE6. It's pretty much protection money for their past selfs.


Google doesn't actually need Mozilla to increase their search market share. When Mozilla switched to Yahoo in the U.S., many users switched back to Google [1], and those who care about privacy switch to things such as DuckDuckGo anyways.

That's my theory as well.

It's cheaper to keep mozilla barely alive than to pay lawyers and governments for anti-trust lawsuits around the globe.

And they get to harvest search data from firefox users as a bonus.


> Today, Muzinich retains financial ties to the firm through an opaque transaction in which he transferred his shares in the privately held company to his father.

It's a top gov official using the exact same scheme as Tiger King.

And that is even before any of the 3trillion part even begins.


hate to say that but "check your privilege".

You know what cookies are and made your informed decision to accept them in your browsers. I do not, for example, and block most of them.

99% of internet users do not had that knowledge before those "stupid click-through warnings everywhere".

So if you want to write off the outcome of the EU cookie law, it is not "entitled Californian software engineers got a little annoyed", but instead "the whole world woke up to the fact advertising companies are tracking everything they do online via cookies".


from the wikipedia article linked above:

> Philadelphia Police Department Lt. Frank Powell proceeded to drop two one-pound bombs (which the police referred to as "entry devices"[31]) made of FBI-supplied Tovex


> By the time the third major flood happened - we were ready.

i was expecting to see a raised home on the pic, not a better way to fill sandbags. oh well.

If you look at the aerial view, you can spot the neighbors homes that did not make it and the edge of the city dike now in the back yard. Many houses flooded. Heartbreaking when you saw folks trying to have a fire truck flood their failing dike with clean water rather than have the sewage/etc fill the house.
