Reminds me of the scene from the show pantheon where the scanning process kills you because you need to scan and peel the brain layer by layer


Great post!


Then you lack imagination and empathy for those with less opportunity


You should if they expect you to fund them


So we should demand public expense reports of those taking state money? Citizens too?


I did this a while ago as well for rsa vs aes implementations. https://yifeiwu.github.io/subtlecrypto-demo/


That's cool, thanks for sharing it.


It's owned by private equity. Slowly cutting costs and bleeding the brand dry


I mean, this existed long before acquisition. Maybe the response could have been different in the past, but there is nothing to indicate that would be true.


Start a new company and hire all the engineers. Not like we need any of the C staff to make it function. There's plenty you can do, the obstacle is regulatory capture rather than lack of options


Why would I want to hire all the engineers? Surely at least some share the blame. I don't really agree with you in general, but if I were starting a new company I'd probably be pretty selective about hiring Boeing engineers if I really thought it were a pervasive company culture problem.


Why is that your point of contention? If the goal is to have Boeing provide engineering capacity without all the cost cutting drama, all I'm suggesting is a change of governance.


Assuming there's a real cultural issue, I doubt that the C-suite is the entire problem. Just bringing in some new senior management is probably not the answer. You probably need to cull down to at least some level of mid-level people. At least that's what I would do.


Nationalize it and replace the board. Imagine the govt as an activist investor if the profit driven investors are more keen to scrap it for profits.


If you consider it national interest, why as the biggest shareholder and bagholder do you not have board members that veto actions that are profitable but bad for national interest?


Some congresscritter will scream “communism”.


They'll do that regardless. Who cares?


Am on my 5th dose. Still not dead yet
