Boeing delays rerun of Starliner space capsule test

The American Boeing company is attempting this week to run another test flight of its new astronaut capsule.
The CST-100 Starliner will launch from Florida at some point to showcase how it can ferry crews to and from the International Space Station (ISS). It will be the second test flight, and conducted with no people aboard. The previous demonstration in 2019 encountered software problems that very nearly caused the loss of the capsule. The Starliner will ride to orbit on an Atlas-5 rocket from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Controllers had been targeting Tuesday for the launch but scrubbed the countdown with two-and-a-half hours left on the clock, to allow for investigation of technical issues related to the capsule's propulsion system.

Starliner has been rolled back to the Assembly Building for additional check, and it is unknown when they will attempt again.

Launch of Boeing's Starliner capsule delayed indefinitely

If it is anything like the 737 Max, let's hope they table this forever.

Google+ class action starts paying out $2.15 for G+ privacy violations

Google exposed the private data of 52 million users in 2018 and got sued.
Who remembers the sudden and dramatic death of Google+? Google's Facebook competitor and "social backbone" was effectively dead inside the company around 2014, but Google let the failed service hang around for years in maintenance mode while the company spun off standalone products. In 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported that Google+ had exposed the private data of "hundreds of thousands of users" for years, that Google knew about the problem, and that the company opted not to disclose the data leak for fear of regulatory scrutiny. In the wake of the report, Google was forced to acknowledge the data leak, and the company admitted that the "private" data of 500,000 accounts actually wasn't private. Since nobody worked on Google+ anymore, Google's "fix" for the bug was to close Google+ entirely. Then the lawsuits started.

And, let's hope, that there is some regulatory scrutiny over this!

Not watching the Boeing Starliner launch - for the second time as it is delayed again.

Wifey and I started watching Sweet Tooth a couple of nights ago on Netflix. We finished the pilot and may keep watching it, lol.

I've seen it listed,.. just not sure about it as of yet. Could be quite interesting - What's your impression?

It's easier to tell you that the first episode is worth a watch, lol. But basically a virus is trying to wipe out humanity and you get various types of hyrbids... The world goes to shit and that's where the story picks up... It's about this kid who has antlers like a deer. They do answer how the show got its name in the first episode though.

The good news is that that I haven't seen any zombies yet.

+1 for no zombies.. I'm tired of running.

ETA: and I can't keep tripping people.

Don't worry, I'll trip you... ermm.... I mean trip them for you.

Really enjoying Diablo 3 season 24 with the Ethereal items. Lots of fun with those!

We are packing LIKE CRAZY. Too much to do to take a load to storage today. But we are loading the van and I'll take it tomorrow. We are down to one car because Paul already sold his, and he has to deal with tons of emergency COVID tests and things (emergency because of travel stuff, not because of having COVID) that require the only vehicle. He leaves Monday morning.

I'll be off to Houston tomorrow with a load for the storage unit. We are in the home stretch now!

We have someone over working in the yard today getting as much as possible ready.

Dominica is busily painting the dining room today.

With the move, will the house be sold?

Yup, hope to have it on the market this week.

FCC “consumer advisory” panel includes ALEC, big foe of municipal broadband

A committee that advises the Federal Communications Commission on consumer-related matters now includes a representative of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which lobbies against municipal broadband, net neutrality, and other consumer protection measures.

Holy cow, I just realized that we've been using MC since Dec, 2018. That's 27 months ago!

Yeah I agree with Scott here, an employee is someone you hired after the business is in place, not a founder etc.

That has nothing to do with what @Dashrender said.

@BRRABill it's been a full year since hte last follow up on this thread. How about an update after another year of use?
