While that may be true, it's not what Spirit has said. They have reported that "...a non-standard manufacturing process..." was used to assemble "two of eight points where the vertical fin is attached to the fuselage.".
As an example; this could be as minor as using a riveting tool that hadn't been inspected on the correct schedule but was still operating as expected. It could be far more serious; perhaps that riveting tool was operating at a dangerously low pressure resulting in a poorly attached vertical fin.
We don't know yet. If this had happened before the 737 Max debacle I would have complete trust in Boeing's and the FAA's assessment that "...that there is no immediate safety issue.”. As it is I can't help being a little skeptical, that loss of trust is a real shame.

Based on past performance I think it's safe to say it's not a "tool wasn't calibrated" issue by any stretch. While the 787 that was assembled with Home Depot fasteners was junked, Boeing did sell plenty of 737 NGs with handmade structural components where CNC'd ones were specified. Al Jazeera has a good documentary on this. The MAX got slat tracks that weren't up to spec.
No immediate safety issue pretty much means what it says. Planes aren't likely to be falling out of the sky today, but given enough time things will likely fail.
“Wages and benefits are mandatory subjects of the collective bargaining process,” the company said. It rejects the union’s argument that it could offer the wage and benefit enhancements to unionized stores at any time.
The NLRB countered -
"...the NLRB said Starbucks violated labor law by offering raises and benefits — including increased training, career development opportunities, expanded tipping and even looser dress code policies — only to nonunion stores."*
Is there an update to this story? The story doesn’t cite what law the NLRB claimed was violated, only that doing what starbucks did interfered with their ability to organize. The final paragraph mentions that the case is yet to be heard:
>The regional complaint will be heard by an administrative law judge at the NLRB. Once a decision is reached, either side can appeal to the full National Labor Relations Board in Washington.
Full disclosure: I’m operating on logic, not an expertise on labor law. I am genuinely interested in expanding my understanding of labor laws and process.
From reading the article you linked, it appears they violated the law by refusing to negotiate, not by giving non-union workers benefits that they didn’t give to union workers.
Wow, they sure do. Page 29 of the user guide for the Nespresso Zenius says -
This coffee machine is equipped with M2M (Machine to Machine) techology which may be activated in due time with your agreement.
Thanks to a SIM card already integrated in the machine, such network connections will offer new services (subject to further terms and conditions) to its customers and improve the after sales process by automatically communicating machine troubleshooting / diagnostics to our Customer Relationship Centre (depending on country requirements and specificities).
What a time to be alive. This should be disclosed on the front page of the manual and not hidden in the smallprint. And it should come with instructions on how to disable it with a physical switch.
If that's the case then it cannot be used in any place/location where there is no signal.
If so, then there would be hell to pay the first time if happened. If it works sans connection, then do what I've said elsewwhere and that's to cut or short out the antenna lead.
Removing the SIM may be deemed provocative by the manufacturer, if there's no signal reception then that's a different matter (the user can't be blamed).
doubtful. I'm sure it will refuse to work if it can't talk to home base, and that home base will have some sort of certificate pinning so only their servers can authorize it do make the coffee.
The VTL was invented because, at the time (2012ish), none of the largest enterprise backup solutions had a good S3 interface and none supported Glacier. After talking with the backup software vendors (Spectrum, Tivoli, Symantec, Commvault, etc) it became clear that adding another backup target wasn't something we (AWS) could get them to prioritize, for perfectly reasonable reasons. We could (and did) apply pressure via our shared customers, even then they estimated it would take years.
The fastest way to enable large enterprise access to S3 and Glacier for backups was to meet them where they were. We did this by virtualizing a tape library.
You did such a great job they still try and steer people this route. I've multiple times mentioned "you know we don't need to emulate tape drives any more"
This is a fantastic example of how broken the patent system is.
This is not an invention it’s a good implementation of a well understood problem.
It is also priced ridiculously - it is at least an order of magnitude more expensive than operating a physical library and remote physical storage that is beyond cyber threat by virtue of it being disconnected.
You did such a good job, that when I worked on Glacier (2013-2016), our interactions with the team running VTL was already pretty minimal. It was one of the least problematical things that interacted with Glacier.
Some of the solutions that external vendors produced were nightmarish and left customers up the creek without a paddle in a disturbing number of situations.

Flexures are generally interesting, these flexures are amazing.
The video references the public documentation @ https://www.esmats.eu/amspapers/pastpapers/pdfs/2006/warden..... They weigh 665 grams (1.47lbs), have a range of 21mm (.826 inches) and a 7.7 nanometre (0.00000030315 inch) step. They work at temperatures down to -253C (-423.6F).
The cryocooler and these flexures have me seriously considering going back to school for a mechanical engineering/materials science degree.
In short, projects like this are an example of "let's take everything humanity has learned over the past 100,000 years and apply it to make a production scientific instrument that is deployed without any physical human intervention far from earth and operates for 20 years".
Day to day, my software work looks outright amateurish compared to that. However, the process to develop these sorts of instruments is extremely boring (mostly process following).
“And that is probably why the U.S.’s statutory price of gold stays fixed at a decades-old level of $42.22. The consensus that independent central banking is a good thing (because it keeps a lid on inflation) dictates that the Fed have plenty of ammo. If the official gold price stays at $42.22, the Fed can lay claim to the full 261,498,927 ounces held by the Treasury. If the price is increased, the Fed gets only a sliver of that, the Treasury laying claim to the rest. And with fewer resources, the Fed’s has less control over the purchasing power of currency.”
It's not so much about 'ammunition': for that it doesn't matter how the central bank accounts for their gold.
The archaic official value of gold is just a political left-over from when the US was part of the Bretton Woods system, and no politician has found it advantageous to change that relict.
Just like we are still labouring under lots of other old regulations. Like taking our shoes off at the airport.
