  • Maybe someone who works for an airline can explain this to me. Most other industries that rely on a piece of equipment to function, have backups on standby. The number of backups is a function of the failure rate of that specific piece of equipment. So let’s say you are a trucking company, and you know from experience that one out of twenty trucks on average will go down in a given week for some repair issue but it’s in your company’s best interest to keep the freight moving on time. So you have 5% of your fleet on standby across your shipping route to keep your business functioning. It doesn’t seem like airlines do this, or they do it very poorly and don’t seem to have any incentive to improve. What gives??




  • I’m in a similar boat. Spotify is infuriating for a variety of reasons. For one, I just cannot understand how they screw up their android app so frequently. It’s constantly riddled with new bugs almost every update. And I hate how little they pay the actual artists.

    I’ve been reading the buzz about music streaming services for a long while now. Qobuz is what I’m going to try next.

    I also keep Pandora because their recommendations algorithm is the best in the business, in my experience.
