Boeing's new ad campaign?

"Boeing also has disclosed that it learned soon after Max deliveries began in 2017 that a warning light that might have alerted crews to the issue with the sensor wasn’t installed correctly in the flight-display software. A Boeing statement in May, explaining why the company didn’t inform regulators at the time, said engineers had determined it wasn’t a safety issue."

"Recent simulator tests by the Federal Aviation Administration suggest the software issues on Boeing’s best-selling model run deeper. The company’s shares fell this week after the regulator found a further problem with a computer chip that experienced a lag in emergency response when it was overwhelmed with data."

Not fake news. Welcome to 2019...

Amazon vs the Amazon... everything that is wrong with the internet in one recent news story:

If you or a non-profit that you know and love use a .org internet domain name, be advised that the ICANN registry want to remove the price cap limit that only allows the annual registration for such domain names to go up 10% each year.

This will mean that individuals and non-profits may soon be priced off the internet. If you don't want that to happen please visit this link and let ICANN know why this is a bad idea.
