    KBNG Banning Airport authorized to close by FAA

    How do you see a small, local airport with no IAPs becoming the economic engine of a small city with a median household income of some $40k?

    Wow just when you thought it couldn’t look worse…:frown:

    New iPad Nano Textured Glass in Cockpit?

    I’m curious how that texture will hold up. On the XDR they warn against even using the wrong microfiber cloth on it and now it’s on a screen that gets thrown around, touched with all manner of things from fingernails to the apple pencil

    N/A calling Calculator Nerds - what's the best graphing calculator these days?

    Haven’t touched a graphing calculator since high school. Everything is part of a larger calculation in Matlab/python/pick your language of choice here. Google for incredibly basic math and jupyter notebooks for everything else in my current gig, matlab in grad school and other jobs

    Apple blows chunks

    Password rules as implemented generally are not sufficient to avoid good dictionary attacks, but having long, random passwords as provided by password managers absolutely does reduce risk. Forcing humans to come up with passwords on their own with no system encourages 2 things: 1) short, native...

    Apple blows chunks

    I literally said using a TOTP, not SMS, in the paragraph you quoted. How does using a TOTP a la Google Authenticator (pick your favorite app) require giving out a mobile number? It doesn’t.

    Apple blows chunks

    MFA with SMS or email is indeed terrible, and barely more secure than not having at all, but how is MFA with a TOTP requiring anyone to give out more personal data? It’s as anonymous as it is possible to be. I personally use the best MFA that the service provides. If a service allows for TOTPs...

    Commercial Spaceflight and Aviation Trust Fund

    It’s all “unnecessary paperwork and certifications” until Billy Bob’s cheap rocket rides’ hunk of junk disintegrates on launch and a turbopump lands on little Tommy’s head while he is in class. If we are going to have commercial and private enterprises performing actions that inherently bring...

    Apple blows chunks

    So your predecessor screwed up and didn’t implement MDM from the get go and allowed the teachers to use their personal Apple IDs on hardware. From the hardware’s perspective, you trying to wipe it and get in is no different than a thief trying to wipe stolen property and get in to resell it or...

    Apple blows chunks

    This is done intentionally to prevent account theft, which is rampant. A lot of sensitive information can be in iCloud accounts. Use a password manager and be more responsible with your passwords next time. You can setup an account recovery contact for the future...

    Great article on how Boeing has failed

    You think you saw shoddy fuselage assembly with the 737MAX? Wait until you see the panel gaps on the cyberplane.

    Don’t forget not incentivizing c-suite with big enough compensation packages!

    Multiple Recent ATC Errors...Why?

    So you are basing your opinion on data? What data? You are hung up on inconsequential details about an example which was merely supposed to be demonstrative. Whether or not perceptions right now mirror reality doesn't invalidate that at the time of that study they did not. The point I was...

    Multiple Recent ATC Errors...Why?

    Thats v That's a very long post to say "no I don't have any data one way or the other" There is a lot of "I believe" statements in your post but then you also say that there is no reliable data from any source. So what are you basing your belief on if you think there is no reliable data to be...

    Multiple Recent ATC Errors...Why?

    That’s my point. Crime rate is an example of an area where the perceived changes in rate is actually the opposite of the measured changes in rate. I’m curious whether that is also true for the operation count normalized ATC error rate.

    Multiple Recent ATC Errors...Why?

    Is there any actual data on ATC error rates over time? Preferably normalized to number of operations to account for growing air traffic (although in reality this is likely a super-linear effect due to the fact that airport infrastructure hasn’t also scaled up). Not saying there is or isn’t any...
