Biocide overdose blunder suspected in A321 dual-engine incident

news.ycombinator.com David Kaminski-Morrow 2025-09-18 16:05:21

UK investigators probing a serious dual engine problem on a departing Airbus A321 have discovered its fuel system had previously been overdosed with biocide, after a maintenance engineer misunderstood a measurement term. The engineer was confused by the term ‘ppm’ – meaning ‘parts per million’ – while conducting a biocidal shock treatment of the Titan Airways A321’s fuel tanks, as the jet neared the end of a month-long maintenance check. While the anti-contamination treatment required a biocid

How to Think About Time in Programming Date published: Jun 23, 2025 Time handling is everywhere in software, but many programmers talk about the topic with dread and fear. Some warn about how difficult the topic is to understand, listing bizarre timezone edge cases as evidence of complexity. Others repeat advice like "just use UTC bro" as if it were an unconditional rule - if your program needs precise timekeeping or has user-facing datetime interactions, this advice will almost certainly caus

The Economics Behind "Basic Economy" – A Masterclass in Price Discrimination

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-18 15:55:53

Basic Economy fares are ultra-restricted airline tickets that offer a lower base price in exchange for fewer benefits than standard economy class. Introduced by major U.S. carriers in the 2010s, these fares have become a widespread strategy for market segmentation - a textbook example of price discrimination in practice. By design, Basic Economy compels travelers to self-select based on their willingness to pay and tolerate restrictions, thus allowing airlines to maximize revenue from different

One of the Most Surprising Moments in ‘Elio’ Feels Right Out of a Horror Movie

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-09-18 16:00:43

Pixar’s latest is a sci-fi gem that homages the genre in a surprisingly dark way. Elio directors Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian even dip into space horror for one of the film’s most memorable scenes. It was so unexpected for a Disney family film and worked so cleverly in the context of the movie, it left me wanting more of this tone in the future of Pixar films. Early in the film, an Elio clone made by the Comuniverse is sent to Earth so his aunt doesn’t notice the real Elio is gone. The clon

Nothing’s Headphone 1 Might Be Its Riskiest Audio Product Yet

First, there was the Ear 1, then the Ear 2, then the Ear Stick (RIP), then the Ear, then the Ear A, then Ear Open, and, oh my god, that’s a lot of wireless earbuds.

At some point in your life, you’ve probably read or heard about the importance of being positive and always focusing on the bright side.

Chinese Military Shows Off Fly-Sized Drones for Covert Ops

When it comes to robotics, nobody's doing it quite like China. Despite not truly industrializing until the 1950s — some 75 years after the United States — the nation has surged to the global forefront of robotics development. Between 2022 and 2023, China installed over half of all global robotics installed throughout the globe, scoring the second-highest annual robot deployment ever recorded — a close runner up to its own previous record, which it set between 2021 and 2022.
