Nah, the people responsible for that ending all got their cut, and moved on. They aren't in it for the long haul, thats why you see the same execs getting brought into a company only to parcel it out brick by brick until there's nothing of value left. They know this will happen, too, but the ones who bring them in also get a cut. This is the ultimate end point of most any business. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Planes fly in China, yes, but not Chinese planes. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
I can venture a guess!
"It's too expensive, we need to cut costs for my bonus, so put in less titanium."
"Alright boss."

They ARE doing quality control of every batch of material coming in.
They ARE doing regular audits as well.
The problem is that there is a whole chain of supply for every single part. Many companies involved. Hundreds or even thousands. And there are many, MANY parts.
But to put things into perspective. An airliner is made of 5.000.000 parts. If it would take just ONE MINUTE to verify each part, it would take 10 YEARS. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
If I remember correctly, they purchased the materials from a Turkish company, which purchased them from China. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |

They bought material from a reputable manufacturer. Turns out, the material didn't come from them. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |

Because you fired all of the engineers! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
The companies still spend their own money on R&D from time to time to make stuff, also called independent research & development (IRAD).
I think Raytheon spent a whole bunch recently after the lifting of the intermediate ballistic missile treaty to make missiles with longer ranges on the assumption that the military will buy.
There are also other reasons, such as nationalization means all of the contractors are federal employees, with federal benefits, which are quite expensive & the difficulty of hiring & firing increases quite a bit. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |

see, the whole reason I wanted fiber to the home in the US is so we have symmetrical capacity that is not beholden to cable companies. Is there any plan to go back and add fiber to the home, at least in the more densely populated areas? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
For sure. There’s a big issue with contracts for uber specific military needs. Just from this list you can see that they defrauded the government millions upon millions for really specific systems like flare deployment and jet specific stealth radar jamming. However, the cases brought against them by the government were so strong because of this paper trail and excessive testing before anything is deemed combat worthy.
The planes themselves (outside of these very niche systems installed on them) are still held up to the same standards I mentioned and are largely worked on and maintained by career mechanics (both contractors and enlisted folk). By and large, these huge defense contractors are the ones doing R&D for new systems while all of the maintenance and part assembly goes heavily through the military itself. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Yes. The cable has just rolled past my home and should be available by end of year (9 years late). 5G internet is being rolled out suburb by suburb. Real remote or mobile homes and boats have been using Starlink. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |

That's good. Now only if they made it symmetrical. I think it is technically possible, right? I mean if there is a bottleneck to fiber outside of Australia, at least symmetrical within Australia? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Nope IRAD is still billable to the government

See also "AI," which is a hype bubble.
But whatever, I'm hoping people doom themselves enough that CS admissions fall more and people drop out of the industry. My kids will be ready to join the family industry when the rebound happens, instead of chasing the next influencer-driven career fad (which is currently directing people to the trades, which has high wages primarily because labor is so tight; those wages will decrease as more and more people flood into them as the next "sure thing." I remember when trades paid shit relative to tech, then the bubble burst and trades become attractive again... Then that bubble burst and people went back to tech, rinse and repeat). | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |

The only thing I would clarify is that I wrote those unit tests after a month of getting us working jars. In response to those unit tests they created a separate code base with classes and methods that matched up but those methods were empty aside from a return statement that was written to satisfy the unit test.
They’d run the unit test against that code and then send me the jar. I only caught on to their nonsense when I forced them to have a meeting and show me on their screen the unit tests were passing. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Airbus even warned that banning Russian titanium would hit the industry very hard. Boeing, on the other hand, has blamed aircraft mechanics and now suppliers. When does it come back on the elected officials for policy changes that affected the supply chains? (it likely won’t) | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |
What I said applies to American corporations in general....including the supplier and sums it up with "100 stories a year for the next decade".
You for some reason have a hard on for Boeing. Maybe your grand pappy worked for them or you're a leaching stockholder. Regardless, it's a sick game they all played and the chickens are coming home to roost.
We are about to see what happens giving all these corporations free reign. They destroyed our economy over penny pinching when making billions. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-16-06 |

Seriously though like why even type out a response without reading the paperwork? It’s pretty obvious you didn’t read the paperwork because your entire summary is incorrect.

There are people who can afford it and there are people who can’t. The reason for the higher prices is that there exist people who can. This is not rocket science. If you’re claiming that anyone should be able to afford it, you’re asking for the government to put in strict price controls. This path has its own consequences, intended and unintended. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |

>There are people who can afford it and there are people who can’t.
Dude. We're talking about a basic-ass apartment in a working class suburb-- working a full-time job should give you enough money to be able to afford a roof over your head without packing the apartment like a college dorm room, and the fact that it's *not* is absurd. If I'm making what I do and still need to live with a roommate, how the hell are the 48 million Americans who make less than $20/hr supposed to get by when all the landlords feel like they're entitled to an extra $100/month every year and venture funds and flippers keep Kirbying anything that hits the market, cash in hand?
>If you’re claiming that anyone should be able to afford it, you’re asking for the government to put in strict price controls.
No, I'm asking for the government to loosen zoning restrictions and incentivize building more housing in the places where people want to live (although it also wouldn't hurt to make efforts to revitalize our smaller cities and large towns-- right now a lot of great areas are being abandoned because there's no jobs, opioid addictions are rampant, and the only stores left are Walmart and Dollar General. Anyone who can get out does, which means the only people left behind are the ones who can't leave, leading to a death spiral where a once-vibrant town rots.)
Right now we're severely understocked, which is leading rich people and venture funds into hoarding behavior. It's fucking over our economy and the lives of our working class. Reducing the pricing by increasing supply is smart economics. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |

That's what price fixing is, if it applies to a large enough segment of the market. If everyone agrees to set their rates in lockstep then rates will never be untenable, at least until people are forced en masse into homelessness. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |

Real page takes the confidential data from 10 different landlords. They use all of the information to come up with prices. Then sends the prices back to the landlords individually.

Must be a terrible bank with many very angry customers. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
The point that this technology misses is that sometimes anger is very justified, and you may be in a position where you have to force the person you're talking to do something about it. That doesn't mean you need to go to personal attacks, but when it's you or your loved one's health on the line, there is a point where it's justified for you to become a problem for them. Support reps may not have much power, but the person they're talking to usually has even less. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

Or you might want to tackle the reason your customers are so infuriated with you.
I have a lot of sympathy for support roles having done it way back in the day. And I had considerably more ability to take care of people too instead of this follow the script crap the worst do now. Best technique I've found for these situations where you need to chew on somebody with some power is ask the first level to give me to the manager they like the least. They laugh and are instantly sympathetic in my experience. The goal is to get to a decision maker anyway and that first level is not it. With the manager despite the implication of chewing on them, I'm polite and non-angrily tell them about the deficiency. A reasoned yet pointed interaction that makes it not personal means they're more likely to help as well. If they can't, then get it elevated again. I've ended up with the "executive action team" several times and usually you're going to get taken care of there but it means you have to sound and be reasonable. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

A long time ago I worked at a call center that implemented a system that rewarded people with a higher hourly rate if they got a certain number of calls per day. So everyone would just pretend they couldn't hear the customer and wait for them to hang up, or mute the call, or transfer them to another department (or even the same department)... You get the point. Other models are systems like rewarding higher numbers of ticket closings, or checkmarks for saying "rapport building lines", or selling a higher number of products.
Any time a company implements some kind of game then people stop doing their jobs and play the game. It doesn't reward good behavior, the people who try to legitimately do their job get fucked, and the customers do too. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
