Re: <nettime> rage against the machine

It looks like Boeing hired car salesman. These are the options that you 
may choose to add (and pay extra, like heated seats) with your brand new 
737 MAX purchase:

Option #32: "Angle of attack disagree light": informs pilots about 
discrepancy between nose direction and airflow, in pre-stall condition. 
May mean faulty sensors.

Option #47: "AOA indicator" similar but different. Provides continual 
visualization of airflow vs. nose.

Neither Ethiopian Airlines nor Lion Air chose to pay for these ... options.

There is no excuse for such criminal product packaging. Anyone doing it 
or defending it should be burned at stake in any civilized country. The 
fact that it will not happen is the best statement about the times we 
live in.


ps. I made up option numbers. In reality they are likely 3-digit.
