So did quite a few other CS / AI grads around me and supervised by me. Few expected to bother with the academic career track and ridiculous conditions afterwards, they all expected to go straight into stable industry or gov AI jobs afterwards.
- MRI techs do not think about it cost when life is at danger. If someone is in life danger due to the magnet, you quench. This is standard MRI education.
I think the big question here is why they didn’t..
- „In the description of the fundraiser, which had raised more than $3,300 by Monday morning, Bodden said her mother and the technician “tried for several minutes to release him” before calling the authorities.“ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/mri-machin...
Is there information on why they didn’t quench?
They teach anyone operating MRI or even sitting by - in the first instruction lesson - that if life is at danger in relation to the magnet, you quench (=release the helium to stop the magnet).

- Ok, thank you, didn't realize. He wrote two hours and I expected this to be another long-haul flight.
- Sure. But it could imply a lack of maintenance.

I can read too. I added a comment with a number. You don't know my intent, this is your interpretation.
Besides, 2018/19 was a steep outlier with the 737 MAX crashes. This is why these got widespread attention and have been discussed down to the last detail for years.
- I thought the same but he implies that the screens were not the only tech not working (AC, seats damaged).
It is quite an intuition to decide to leave a plane in such a moment. He just escaped death and is now aggressively attacked for saying something potentially relevant.
- There is a person on X who says he has left the plane before takeoff and has uploaded videos of non-functional entertainment panels: https://x.com/akku92/status/1933114664923148455

- This could actually work. According to Spotify's own data, rock and metal fans are among the most loyal listeners, and the genre seems to outrank pop in global popularity [1]. A significant number of their all-time most-played tracks fall into this category.
I’ve also noticed that many metal fans still buy physical media, often just to support the artists without ever putting into a player (I do this too). I’m not sure if there are solid stats on this, but at least here in Germany, even less mainstream metal bands have frequently hit No. 1 on national album charts in recent years.
Metal fans are definitely committed to their genre and might be open to a dedicated service - especially if offers fair compensation to artists in a credible way.

- Deleting apps doesn't work for me because there are topics I actually want to follow on places like X (e.g. ML / AI news). As soon as I reinstall, it will easily suck you in again with some distracting emotionalised / partisan current event.
There is an app called ScreenZen that was immediately effective in breaking my habit. It made me use social media much more consciously.
My go-to "social media" page has been GoodReads for a while, and I don't see a problem with it – not only because it is rewarding reading books, but because it doesn't have dark distraction patterns and is much more like the mid 2000s internet. Half my family is doing the reading challenges now.

- The underlying problem is the lack of tickets.
The only way accommodate more attendees and grow would have been to move permanently to a fairground like Leipzig. Unfortunately, there seems to be no willingness to do so. I found the Leipzig events phenomenal and would like to understand the reasons behind this decision, but can only find speculation.. maybe fairgrounds are simply too expensive?
Leipzig’s hotel situation is worse due to having to connect to the fairground outside town. However, due to Leipzigs location at the intersection of two major historic European trade routes (fyi: via imperii and via regia, still has the largest head railway station in Europe), it has much better connections than Hamburg to the rest of Germany and Europe, including Berlin. Also Leipzig (and the fairground itself) have train connections to three airports including BER..
- Interesting that it did not sell out. I've heard there was a lot of concern in the community about covid.
- Where was that, and when? I got tickets through hackerspaces and was never expected to do anything for them.

- I did this years ago, it helped somewhat, but Apple's standard codec is still way better (I blind-tested this).
- Most people are not listening closely, nearly meditating over music. If you average over most people, this is what you will find. Look at the "outliers" in those same studies.
- I've made blind A/B tests between the Apple standard codec and Spotify Premium.
Not even talking lossless, as Spotify doesn't even offer a lossless option.
I don't want to be patronized on what I allegedly can / can not not hear by a "Premium" service I've been paying for for 10 years.
