I read some time ago about the Keto diet showing good results even in Alzheimer/dementia cases. Keto is not the same as low carb but it's close enough. Our molecular biology and internal chemical reactions are still areas of research in early phases. Just on a different topic, but in the same direction - last 10 years research discovered that immunity boosting has much better results in certain types of cancer than all the other non-surgery treatments (chemical or radiation).

Here's another angle - not saying it's correct, just different. Why would you want to perfect working from your bedroom? It's ok to WFH for a while, but i would not recommend perfecting it long term. As a human being you should be looking to interact and socialize with other humans, in person, as well - this makes us better humans, more empathetic, more understanding to the needs and pains of others.

This is what happens when you pay huge amounts of money on Google Ads and traffic. They notice that you must be quite profitable if you afford to pay so much, so they come for your market. It will happen more and more and the more you pay to Google the more you help them take you out of the market.

Since the planes become more software dependent, the pilots should be trained on procedures to recognize/evaluate/react to software problems/glitches as well. The problems with the B-MAX were actually related to bad software (MCAS). There is probably some delay between how pilots are training and the importance of software in their job.

Interesting that Boeing does no make the simulators directly but through partners. Having a delay in making the simulators might be because the makers of the simulators are having problems with the software replication from the real plane. Wonder what happens when the software on the simulators is in desync with the software on the real plane; or when software on the real plane has a bug that manifests only after 10 hour of continuous operation while the software on the simulator is continuously resetted for each new pilot. On the other hand, Boeing and the airlines should have provided more simulators if their new model is so different that it needs a dedicated simulator. One idea - Boeing should only sell new planes together with simulators - 1 simulator included for each x planes delivered.

If this cutoffs are made for the sake of increasing profitability of an already profitable company, they are a bad sign in terms of management style and quality - it will affect morale, creativity and enthusiasm of remaining employees.

- Make sure business stakeholders have realistic expectations about deployment, data migration, cost of working in parallel if another system exists, etc - stay away from customizations when possible. Each ERP comes with its own way of doing things. It's sometimes best to adjust the business to the ERP than the other way around :)

in many corporations of this kind it's all about: - over-billing the customer (see Acc. and their legendary $20-30M site that was not working) - internal power plays between managers who want to show-off managing as much headcount as possible, as that is correlated with paycheck etc. etc.
