I volunteer you to go fight in Taiwan to "humiliate the CCP".


So where is the actual evidence? Why won't the CIA present it publicly? Or should we just believe the CIA that it has this "evidence"?


There might not be any evidence. It might simply be the possibility of an update with backdoors/military payloads that gets pushed worldwide moments before a shooting war begins, or as a way to paralyze the world when negotiations become heated.


Yes, here is the voluminous evidence that we have presented that Huawei spies for the Chinese government. /s

Singapore just grounded all their 737 Max flights. Aeromexico and GOL grounded their 737 Max planes today. Soon we’ll (U.S.) be the only country left flying these.


Today was the first time I ever checked the type of plane on a flight.


Me too. Seems like https://seatguru.com is the best site for figuring out the type of plane for a flight.


This should quiet anyone down who claims that China grounded 737 MAX for primarily political reasons.

Australia also grounded those aircraft today:

Air Canada is still flying the Max 8.


Germany grounded them too, now.


pg


Haha, thanks :) I was waiting for someone to mention pg. I'm a big fan of both his writing style and advice. Any other suggestions?


I think he's criticizing Issacson's book for being light on the details of Jobs' actual work, thus allowing Gladwell to write an article that is uninformed in calling Jobs a tweaker.

Had Issacson done the task justice, we would all have insight into Jobs' work, which in Gruber's opinion, rises far above the level of a tweaker.


I wonder if critics have actually read the book. There's quite a bit about Jobs' actual work and you get quite a bit of insight into what he did and how he went about it.

Gladwell is quite capable of spinning some idiotic theory on his own. You can't blame Isaacson for his shortcomings.


Reading this article made me think of this: http://paulgraham.com/top.html


There was an oncologist speculating on Quora that Jobs had to have the Whipple because he waited so long and the cancer presumably spread. Had he acted promptly it would have been a much less complicated surgery.

To each his own though -- whatever drove Jobs to seek alternative medicine first is part and parcel of the personality that gave us all he did.


He had to have the Whipple because of where his tumor was located (the head, not the tail, of his pancreas).



Congrats. I suggest a "Snowmageddon" t-shirt as well.
