TL;DR: Things are written to assume that files opened exclusively cannot change. Windows enforces that write protection on files in the filesystem driver. If you open a file over a network from a non-Windows filesystem, that assumption may not be valid.

This allows an attacker to abuse paging to have the system validate a correctly-signed file, then swap out the contents.

The dev stated that it mostly exists for more performance-limited applications like mobile.

Expanse does too, though it isn't common in that world.

It gets called that everywhere. Most people never need to know the actual specs for a screw, so language diverges from the classification system.

I usually keep the corrections to myself, but when somebody else is already correcting someone and they say the wrong thing too it becomes hard.

There's some bones of that in sketches such as Captain Steve's Banana Salve.

They are predicting the pixel layout of the user's screen, prerendering the passwords, and then transmitting them as images?!

That's commitment to crisp text rendering!

My understanding is that amortization is the confusing part of the situation OP is asking about. When you have an asset, the cost of it is deducted from income over the useful life. By declaring that it will never be released, the useful life is reduced to zero, allowing them to take the whole tax deduction at once.

They still would have been better off never spending the money. Since they already have, if they have so little cash that they can't afford their tax bill, it might make sense to throw away future income to stay afloat now.

Spirit installs the plugs before delivering to Boeing. If Boeing identifies issues with the plugs after they get the fuselages, it's Spirit crews that are responsible for fixing them.

They also install the pressure bulkheads that they were misdrilling, which they knew were a problem for a year and covered up. They have a history of punishing internal inspectors for identifying problems.

Boeing has been dropping the ball on catching these issues, but with how many different subtle things Spirit has been screwing up, it's likely Airbus has missed things too. Spirit's management has no place in safety-critical industry.
