Readit NewsRiders are tested a lot and have to provide year-round whereabouts for random testing. They also have a frequently updated blood passport to detect sudden changes in values caused by PEDs. It can never be fully waterproof, but at least serious efforts are made.
> On 11 January 2023, Bridgen had the Conservative whip suspended after tweeting about COVID-19 vaccines: "As one consultant cardiologist said to me, this is the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust." Bridgen claimed the tweet had been moderated by staff members, which was denied by a Conservative Party spokesman.[84] Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called the comparison "utterly unacceptable".[5] Two days later, Bridgen issued a statement saying his tweet was not antisemitic, and apologised "for any offence caused". He said he was taking legal advice about action against those who had labelled him as antisemitic. Bridgen further contended that he asked "reasonable questions" about the side-effects of mRNA vaccines, and had "received huge support from ordinary people, medical workers [and] those who have experienced vaccine harms themselves".[85]

This is another reason society is better off without the people who become lawyers.
What bothers me more is question, if we can ever learn from history.
I recently had to upgrade my phone, and oh boy is is annoying to get root working with Google Pay and my banking app. It still works, but it took me a few hours(!).
I'm seriously considering switching to iOS for my next phone.
This is the thing about daily stand-ups which I hate the most. I work as a freelancer which requires me to do a dance around social expectation everytime I get on with a new project.
Oftentimes I work with full remote internal teams which are used to dailies in the morning, even when a substantial number of team members hate them. The (private) feedback I get when I'm the one who tries to reschedule them later in the day at the kick-off meeting is very astonishing.
I simply don't get why even many relaxed employers don't realize that dailies in the (early) morning can be a very good way to reduce overall productivity and sometimes even set wrong incentives.
I know a good share of employed people who only came to terms with early stand-ups because it means they can clock in early without doing any meaningful work for the first hours of the workday. But I think it's just fair that those employers with proclaimed "flexible hours" pay them for involuntary getting up before their time. Make me get up early, pay for my breakfast time. Or just stop pretending that you have flexible hours.
So there is serious electrical malfunction and the pilot loses communication and also some of his displays multiple times.
In hindsight we know it wasn't that serious and the plane could have kept flying.
But how can the pilot figure that out, while flying the aircraft? One needs to evaluate decisions based on the information available at the time the decision was made.
The standby instruments were working and falling back to them in the event of a primary flight display failure is part of the training
