For no particularly good reason, I think now would be a good time to remind everyone that @Boeing requested safety regulation exemptions on the 737 Max
🚨#BREAKING: Alaska Airlines Forced to Make an Emergency Landing After Large Aircraft Window Blows Out Mid-Air
📌#Portland | #Oregon
A Forced emergency landing was made of Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 at Portland International Airport on Friday night. The flight, traveling from Portland to Ontario, California, faced severe depressurization, causing the ejection of a large window section and an unoccupied seat. This incident resulted in a child's shirt being ripped off. The Boeing 737-900/-9MAX aircraft reached a maximum altitude of 16,300 ft before safely returning to Portland International Airport. As of now, it remains unclear if anyone on board the flight was injured, as this story is still developing.

There is a generation of us born at the same time as the internet.
We grew up on dial-up, we built BBSes, we dreamt in IRC, we watched ARPAnet become what it is today.
And we are ALL dragging this mf'er right here 🤣⤵️
Not only is this not the same person but someone ran a traceroute on her website, tiffanygomas(dot)ćom, and it runs through a Washington DC email. Her IP isn't your standard home internet IP address, mostly likely ran through a government server. This was government created.
Community note
The traceroute in question run through a Level3 hub in Washington, D.C.
Level3 is a Internet backbone provider, so that's normal.

...ignore safety protocols, rules and regulations from piloting commercial aircraft?

Unless, of course, they are using that as an excuse to reduce headcount without having the bad press/stock reaction of a layoff... but NO company would be crappy enough to do that... right???

Do your research. Know your worth.

Do NOT do free work for for-profit companies:
- Contribute to their OS 🚫
- Contribute questions for cert exams 🚫
- Fix their production issues during your interview 🚫
Your experience, time, & knowledge are worth 💰💰💰
This is not the first time I’ve been rejected for a role due to lack of technical abilities but told to contribute to their open source/work for free. No I’m not doing free labor. I hope others learn from these experiences so they don’t fall victim to the exploitative nonsense.

Protips for @AWSreInvent:
- load up on water at CVS (4 liters min)
- do NOT pick up the snacks in the room (you get charged)
- very comfy shoes you'll be walking a LOT
- try to get enough sleep 😴
- pack with room for swag (I go 50% empty)

When I was 1st a mgr, I discouraged ppl from working late hrs & encouraged a good work/life balance.
MY boss at the time told me "Stop that, if they want to work extra hours as salaried employees let them".
I didn't know better, so I did what he told me.
Fuck you, Mike.
