"That amount includes a $487.2 million criminal fine, though $243.6 million it already paid in an earlier agreement would be credited. It also includes $444.5 million for a new fund for crash victims, and $445 million more on compliance, safety and quality programs."
That amounts to 1.28M per human life. Also, most of the victims were conveniently Africans and South Asians. I hope airlines on those other continents avoid Boeing like the plague.
Lufthansa at it again. Wasn't there a rule after the Germanwings Flight 9525 crash that one member of the cabin crew has to replace either one of the captain or the first officer when one of them temporarily leaves the cabin?
I feel like you need to complete this thought. Australia has an independent judiciary, and look what they did to tech privacy. So I'm not seeing how it follows that an absolute monarchy is a hindrance.
This is very specious reasoning. At least in Australia if you have a legal problem there is a full court system set up that can help you – Liechstenstein is basically just a state owned by a single man attached to a bank (LGT) owned by the same man.
Australia's "full court system" completely failed to stop "Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment (Assistance and Access) Act 2018", where by people can be compelled to install security backdoors at the behest of law enforcement.
It looks like Prince Hans-Adams is much more able to protect peoples civil liberties than Australias westminster system.
It's a country where if the Prince decides he doesn't like you, well, he can bring the entire administrative arm of the state down upon you. It's basically a European version of the UAE – not a great place to be.
They had a popular vote to decide if the prince could overrule the democratic government, and the people voted that they prince could. seems to work for them, they hare rich and happy
Except you can't really build PWAs with those technologies and most web content is now consumed on mobile. I used to do it like that as well, but clients want a mobile app and management decided to give them a PWA, because then we could use the existing backend (Perl, Mojolicious, SQL). I now agree with them if it keeps the lights on.
> I used to do it like that as well, but clients want a mobile app and management decided to give them a PWA
I'm quite surprised to hear this is a common thing. Besides myself, I don't know a single person who has ever installed a PWA. For people in tech, despite knowing they exist. For people outside tech, they don't know they exist in the first place.
Does management actually have any PWAs installed themselves?
People outside tech just get installation instructions and do not care if it’s app store or something else. This is how sanctioned Russian banks continue to serve their customers via apps, when they cannot get into app store. The number of users of PWA is probably on the scale of millions.
It definitely makes complete sense in that scenario, but remains a very niche usecase where people have no other option.
>People outside tech just get installation instructions
People outside of tech don't need instructions to install non-PWA, store apps. So all this does to me is reinforce that no one is installing PWAs outside of niche scenarios where 1. people basically have to use the app due to a connection to a physical institution 2. they are explicitly told how to do it 3. the app is not available on the stores for legal reasons.
> People outside of tech don't need instructions to install non-PWA, store apps.
Depends on age and tech awareness. Many still do, when they cannot rely on a family member to do it for them.
Overall installing PWA is no more complicated than getting something from a store.
They don't want to be subject to app store approval policies, shitty TOS, nor pay Google or Apple a 30% cut. Installing the app is easy, visit the web site, clck the install banner, add to home screen and you're good to go. On the developer side you get to deploy as iften as needed.
Yes, the service worker thing is annoying but you possibly don't need it if you have a server backend. It's basically a glirified website with a home screen icon. Most of the native vehicle, asset or fitness tracking apps need a backend anyways and they fail miserably when disconnected from the network.

We don't care about people clicking it as it's not tiktok but an app that complements a certain hardware solution. If you don't have the hardware, you don't need the app.
I bet it has some plugin manager like Vim (for which I use pathogen).
I also use VSCodium on the desktop simce Atom was abandoned and Vim when editing over ssh. I wanted to like Zed but everything is now infested with AI and the packaging sucks. I just want a nice looking UI desktop editor with Sublime style multiple cursors and without the BS. Git, Copilot etc is deactivated in my VSCode, I don't even use its terminal. But it keeps breaking things or adding crap. Of course, it needs to be open spurce and free. They can charge all they want for plugins and AI which I don't use.
That's why it works so smooth in Italy, because no one has the patience for all the BS, they just want their shot of espresso, not being "educated" into "coffe culture". And they also drink dark roast, no useless sauer fruity notes crap, you drink cascara tonic if you want that.
I agree with this guy. Teheran is probably a nice place if it weren't for the ayatollahs, hijab police, sponsoring terrorists, embargoes and "friendhip" with Russia. All those details are like coffee marketing made into a religion and used as state policy.
