The company divided testing into small chunks and failed to spot issues that led to the flight's failure. Why would you? It's only rocket science

Are you saying they won't be reboeinding?
It'll be Boeing, Boeing, Gone?
And people think that impressive-sounding company names are important.  Funnily enough, the same people say that Steve Jobs was brilliant at marketing (but they really don't get it).

Steve Jobbs was an arse who's only good at marketing. Didn't achieve anything, except taking credit for other people's work.
Any fraud can achieve the same.

Hmm.
He also understood more about UX than 99.999% of people in computer-related industries, and would not settle for less than damned-good UX (itunes notwithstanding; I've no idea wtf happened there). More people like him are needed in our field, not fewer (the problem is finding ones who are good at marketing, not just at bullsh1tting).
But my point was that he named the company "apple".
Really powerful, impressive name, that.
BTW: the only apple device I own is an ipad, which was given to me as a bonus for writing a review. I don't believe in buying Chinese tech with a 400% mark-up.

WinForms still rules; he made cheap copy.

It was, until he bound his name to it.
Yuck. Thrice, yuck.

It's a fruit. If he'd called the company "Banana" or "Splurgle", people would now revere the word "banana" or "splurgle".
The point being that it doesn't matter two f@rts what you name a company; it's how well you do your work that counts.

Both Tesla and SpaceX products go "boom".
Despite the people paying for it. I am waiting for the tunnel to be finished, so it can go boom too.

I'm not; but as usual, you don't have any argument but the ad hominem.
How does it feel to be an idiot that can't argue?

Once again, you are treating a discussion as an argument -- and, I have to say, being more than a little insulting and rude on more than one occasion.
Sober up, rein it in, whatever. Nobody likes being talked to the way you've been talking to me.

My apologies.
I could blame the medication, but that sounds weak. I could refrain from commenting on the worst days, which sounds like a good idea after your comment.
Thanks for being honest; even if that is rude. I'll try, but can't promise. If things get too sh*tty I'll be banned. This is where I miss the downvoting; I don't know how many people I offended, as it won't be just you.
TL,DR: you right.

The Catholic Pope has released a set of ethical principles outlined in a document titled “Rome Call For AI Ethics,” and it found early support from Microsoft and IBM. A priest, a mainframe, and Bill Gates walk into a bar...

OK, final check that the response params are ready:
• Demanding that all poor people hand over money is a duty: Check
• Spending fortunes on decorating churches while people starve is necessary: Check
• Sexual assault of small boys is good for their souls: Check
• Starting thousand-year-long wars with perfectly peaceful nations is good: Check
• Persecuting raped women who don't want to bear the devils' progeny is holy: Check
• Forgiving the rapists is required: Check
OK, that'll do for the first few feeds; we'll add the heavier stuff later.

Hey, I worked for the Catholic church. I could name a few padres who I'm sure miss my subtle, delicate perspective on the church's history.
Now there were some discussions!
They never turned into the bitchy, childish, trollish nightmares that swamped the soapbox, though. I suppose the big difference was that we showed each other respect, even if we (strongly!) disagreed on certain topics.
That kind of respect from human to human doesn't exist in the minds of psychopaths or on the Internet.
The question is which side of that fence people want to be on.

My manager and I got off on a tangent in our most recent one-on-one on the subject of the durability of design mistakes in programming languages. It's good to create something that lasts, no?
