        Whistleblowers: FAA 737 MAX safety inspectors lacked training, certification

        Senate committee launches investigation into 737 MAX certification process.

        Multiple whistleblowers have raised issues over the Federal Aviation Administration’s safety inspection process connected to Boeing’s 737 MAX aircraft, according to a letter to the FAA from Senate Commerce Committee chairman Sen. Roger Wicker on April 2. And the FAA’s leadership was informed of these concerns as far back as August of 2018.

          @mlnews as if the whole country didn't already know that the FAA lacked the skills (or the desire) to be doing this.

            Microsoft kills off the book store you probably didn’t know it had

            Anyone who bought books will have them deleted and will receive a refund.

            For reasons that were never entirely clear, Microsoft released a book store for Windows 10 back in 2017. The Edge browser was given support for EPUB books, and the Microsoft Store had a book category, offering a range of free and non-free books. No longer: yesterday the company ended book sales entirely.

              Joaquin Phoenix breathes new life into an iconic role in first Joker trailer

              It's a standalone film as DC Films moves away from the shared universe model.

              Joker is intended as a standalone film, with no sequels planned—part of DC Films' decision to move away from the shared-universe approach of their prior franchise films (aka, the Marvel model). So it has no relation to the Justice League films that came before. That freed Director Todd Phillips to create his own darker, gritty version of this iconic character, with a much smaller budget of $55 million.

                        Mark Hamill's animated version is quite solid.

                                  @scottalanmiller I love this. Wish we had it here at that scale. I hate driving and I hate flying. This is for me!

                                    Email chain prompts Microsoft to investigate reports of sexual harassment ignored by HR

                                    90 pages of emails provoke response from head of HR.

                                    Women at Microsoft have been sharing reports of sexual harassment by both fellow coworkers and external partners that were often ignored by managers and human resources alike, according to a report by Quartz.

                                      Laptops and liquids can stay in your carry-on bags thanks to TSA's new scanners

                                      One minor travel hassle is soon to be eliminated, thanks to the implementation of new screening technology at US airports. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently announced that the introduction of CT, or computed tomography, will ultimately enable passengers to keep their laptops and liquids in their carry-on bags while going through the security screening process.
