That’s because in the software game you can’t just sell the exact same product year after year; customers may claim to have a set of requirements & be happy to stick with something that meets the requirements, but in reality, they always get bored & go with the next shiny bauble which comes along.

Because nerd/anorak, and prolly since I’ve not been anywhere outside the country since 2018, I’ve been watching some of the live streams of Heathrow while my wife gets ready for bed. More than once, one of the big US airlines has landed a 767 which has just crossed the Atlantic … I’m 53, that’s...

I dunno … that seems a bit like blaming the car when the tyres explode at speed so the car runs into a telegraph pole … ?

Why do you say that? [not being facetious - I truly don’t know what’s going on here]

A lot of stuff in the law seems like … well, like the rules for a successful Development Approval with a council. Fluffy, not necessarily defined solidly, and open to interpretation. I reckon a lot of ambulance-chasers are running around contacting The Affected right now!

But how many uni students have the money to trade? It’s probably written in Angular.

“And in breaking news … all Boeing aircraft built since 2015 run CrowdStrike as their primary flight control operating system”

I’ve been Google Flights’ing getting to somewhere in Asia on Y and then J from there to Europe, of late … and I think the best price reductions I could find were only maybe from ~$6.5k down to ~$5k (per person). Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but in context of the cost of an entire holiday, that $3k...

^ I see dogs & cats eating stuff which makes me think I’d VERY much want it cooked, thankyou very much … Interesting point on the 4hr flights by people OS though. Americans get distances, but notsomuch Europeans … we spent a week in Turin when I was in Ghent, that was like driving from Sydney...

Looks like the 777 seats are an inch wider, I thought the 777 was a more rotund plane & they’re both 3-3-3 layout so that makes sense. Same pitch though. Sounds like you’re after comments on seat shape though; dunno there.

Well … it both did & didn’t. :) On the one hand, you shared in the extra cost to Uber along with everyone else who took a ride, whether or not they got QFF points. If nobody got QFF points, everyone including you would’ve paid less. But on the other hand, if we assume reality - if you’d taken...

The non-government employer is paying more for fares, because EVERYONE is paying more for fares, if the FF program didn’t exist they’d pay less (as would everyone else). Government doesn’t get cheaper fares due to not getting FF points; doing that was actually a cost to the airlines as it was...

They are NEVER free, but a lot of the time you pay the same for a good or product or service as everyone else who is also funding it, so from your POV it's being funded by others. Same as when you're not charged a fee for using credit cards but others pay the same for cash. It's built into...

Hey I did once! :) It's a fair solution though, in my opinion. For people who pay for access it's smooth & works well, if you want it for free then something/someone/somehow needs to pay to keep the lights on, and I guess that's currently Superloop & Squarespace & Adobe & Disney & they change...

I think what @WilsonM said covers most of it ... except I guess to highlight that you don't only get extra carry-on, you're sharing where you stash that carry-on with 2/3 as many people; so even if you could pay extra for extra carry-on(*) in Y it could still be a fight finding somewhere to put...

You make it sound like an awful existence not worth living … but I think there are people who crave that attention & for them it’s worth not having any skills or abilities or consistency just to see how many views they get.

Doing that with a ‘plane would have to hurt, even of it’s a wee Cessna (and an A380 - no, just no).

I guess when people feel the need to dare each other to do something stupid, that something stupid needs a name/label/reference so they know what each other is talking about?

Ah, dumb trends for dumb people … in some ways they’re good, they make me feel better about myself!

Ah OK, I thought Virgin now included meals. I mean you don’t want to actually eat what QF serves, but I guess as a matter of principle that’s irrelevant.
