Nah, my bad, the later. Sorry

As we are looking at the company expenditures here, it’s the former.

For me? Panasonic Thoughbook CF30. I had one. Quite an impressive thing at the time. And sturdy as fuck - I carried mine through the jungle, for more than 100.000km around the world. It had a fucking hard drive and lcd heater for colder environments and mobile broadband.

And you literally couldn’t destroy it. Mine wasn’t outpaced or destroyed, it took Air France and Paris CDG to kill it -they stole it.

I never understood how they could choose Apotheker. He was literally fired from SAP in less than a year and yet HP got him as a CEO.

WebOS had its flaws,but it could have made HP market leader - at that time Apple was far from “enterprise ready”, Android even less so, so if they had done it right they would have every CIO in their pocket within 4 years.

But of course that doesn’t count for the next quarterly shareholder report. And Apotheker had to go “all in” on Software, because that’s what he, the salesman he is, sold them.

This is only partially true - all comments include identifying information as they are always linked to a IP and username (both being personal information) and might be linked to a post history,etc.

In theory they could absolutely scrub that information AND make sure that none of your post holds your (or other peoples) persknal information - but they would need to do so manually and by someone who is quite knowledgeable in these matters. So while it’s possible it’s not economical to do so.

Currently Reddit usually does nothing and does not give a fuck, but that will fuck them over at some point - I know of multiple national data security ombudsmen who are currently investigating.

As it came up here a bit of a longer explanation.

1. Airway management contains much more than just “getting a hole into the neck” - it starts with nebulised adrenaline (which works wonders but must be used in moderation due to the side effects), regular endotracheal intubation with a (preferably video)laryngoscope, if necessary with a tube that is resistant against swelling(woodbridge tube) before a cricothyrotomy (not a tracheotomy,see below) is performed - and is supported by intravasal drugs (mostly adrenaline, a glucocorticoid and H1 blockers, in some cases also a beta2 antagonist and a anticholinergic agent). A cric is always the last choice due to the high risk to benefit ratio.

2. Even a qualified responder won’t do a tracheotomy - emergency tracheotomies are extremly rare and basically only necessary when either the pharyngeal structures are damaged beyond rescue (due to trauma, cancer or some real rare diseases. This is not the case in anaphylaxis. The reasons for a tracheotomy not being used are many. It takes a lot of time,is far harder to achieve (getting between the tracheal cartilage is not as easy as it sounds), the risk of “hitting” structures that are vital to the patient are considerable (seen a patient who’s v.jug. ran over the spot) and the required training to do it is considerable - Besides ENTs and sometimes intensivists around here none therefore is even trained to do it anymore. I occasionally teach emergency surgical techniques to interns and med students and we don’t do so,beyond explaining the core concept, neither does any uni in central or northern Europe that I know of, same goes for AU/NZ.

3. A “cric” is far easier, but still takes some skill - both needle or open surgical cric(I would prefer the later) does require correct identification of the landmarks (which can be tough), good surgical technique and mainly: Training - lots of it. We therefore teach paramedics only a needle based approach (in combination with jet ventilation) - and tbh, most EM docs are not that “up to standard” in this technique as well - even though a cric is far easier than a trach.

4. The technique mentioned here will, with a 95% chance, not lead to any airway access, damage the thyroid (which bleeds like fuck) or the vagina carotica (the structure that contains the large vessels in the neck as well as the nervus vagus). If that happens the patient is usually beyond rescue. A case that, even if in cardiac arrest, had at least a slim chance of survival, will then certainly die - post anaphylaxis arrests with good bystander CPR have a somewhat improved prognosis - considering that that a laymans trach likely would diminish chest compression quality for minutes this would simply take that chance away from the patient.

5. Whoever thinks he needs to teach that in civilan responder courses needs to be fired - it’s not part in any curriculum worldwide as they are all more or less based on the same guidelines.

And a 80k$ salary in France amounts to around 125k$ cost for the employer. So 170k$ isn’t that much - I actually know French developers and network engineers that make similar money. The French ITsec architect I interviewed last year would have cost me (converted) around 150k$.

So 170k$ is absolutely not out of the normal range here.

Talking about France: The French government could start to properly support matrix.org as they use it for tChap. The same goes for Germany with the “Behördenmessenger”

Anaphylaxis sets in fast,but not within seconds - we are talking more like a couple of minutes and they can be treated. Adrenaline is one component of the treatment besides other medications (that actually “counteracts” the anaphylactic reaction, Adrenaline more or less is mainly used to buy time and fight the worst symptoms).

Airway management, fluid management, etc. are other things we need to consider.

So, if the person has completely stopped breathing, and ambulances are 20+ minutes away, should I limit my response to attempted CPR?

The answer is: YES

Nothing beats a layman explaining the job most professionals won’t do to a professional who does it.

BTW: This is all wrong and will make things worse. Please don’t do what this dude writes.

Tbh, I read that there were multiple Stasi Agents faking exactly that type of personality. If you can’t keep a secret besides that one important secret… Everyone will think you can’t keep a secret. … which means you couldn’t be a spy.

I don’t know which med school or civilian lifesaving courses you attend - but emergency cricothyrotomy surely isn’t a skill that is taught and mastered by any of these I teach.

Cric is a delicate skill that needs repetition and knowledge - it’s far from easy and not even close to what is shown in some bad TV shows.

The question I ask myself is: You have that much money,you have a private jet on standby, a large security detail.

And none fucking thought about getting competent medical team or at least a fucking competent paramedic? I mean…I am generally unsympathetic amongst almost all billionaires, but as someone who has literally done VIP escorts as a critical care paramedic I wonder who fucked up that much.(But these were all “old wealth” and actually were not billionaires. And tbh they treated us with more respect than most members of the public do-that gives them at least some plus point)

It’s not like Airway obstruction nor anaphylaxis is untreatable/isn’t absolutely manageable if caught early.

Anyway, can we please get a fundraiser for the poor queen of that bee?

Especially as his brother was with him on the flight.

That is another level of gruesomeness.

Yeah, absolutely, AI has issues- that’s why I narrowed my “Boeings fa**ult” down to electronics/software. There isn’t too much maintenance they can fuck up in that department that can kill both engines(afaik). In other parts like fuel,fuel distribution,etc? Totally different.

My bet is still on sometimes with the fuel, though. Maybe water in the fuel.

No. Faults often don’t get detected early,need certain circumstances (swiss cheese model) or quite simply, are caused by replacement parts. There is a long chain of things that could fall into Boeing responsibility - and even if it doesn’t the market does not always react reasonably.

Funny enough,you produce far more waste and environmental impact if you cook alone or for a small household.

From an environmental perspective a communal cafeteria with set times is actually king.

Wake turbulence requires something to cause the wake - usually another aircraft. Additionally wake turbulences autoregulate themselves - they don’t stay “in the air” but rather disperse rather fast, especially close to the ground. VAAH is a pretty small airport that has no continual taxiway(which they once had,for some strange reason) so aircraft need to backtrack(Basically go in the wrong direction on the RW, then do a U-Turn) at the end of the runway if they go for a take-off runway of RW23.This leads to a long time for any wake turbulence to disperse.

Additionally the 787 is a mighty big aircraft and mostly wake turbulences affect aircraft that are smaller than the ones which caused it. (This is of course not fully accurate,but it gets complicated then) And the 787 is absolutely powerful enough to power through basically any wake turbulence.

Last but not least there was not a starting aircraft directly before the flight but a (very small) landing one - so even more time for any wake to disperse.

So in the end I would be pretty damn sure it wasn’t that.

Yeah,I am not sure if there is a safety interlock with Boeing RATs(and the video is really bad)…so it might be intentional.

It’s strange. Personally I currently go with water in the fuel system as the “most likely guess by a armchair pilot”(me),but wouldn’t also be surprised being it an electronic error. When that would be the case Boeing would be fucked beyond repair,imho.

Definitely not.
