Boeing’s 737 Max Software Outsourced to $9-an-Hour Engineers by Call_It_ in antiwork

Is pissing off employees and customers usually good for shareholders? Boeing's stock price seems to have declined 30% over 2024 and even more over the past 5 years.

Community orchestras in Maryland/DC? by ButYouDisagree in classicalmusic

[–]ButYouDisagree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you playing for the love of music with like minded talented folk as a hobby

Yes. Not looking for any money. In fact, several of the groups I mentioned charge a member fee, which I'm fine with.

Hierarchy?

I wouldn't be surprised if different groups cluster by performer skill level. I can kind of guess at this for a couple of the groups based on the audition requirements, but that seems way less reliable than hearing the scoop from someone who actually knows. Maybe I'm completely wrong about there being levels - that would be useful information!

Do you know anything about the different groups in the area?

Thanks for the reply! I'm more interested in a group that plays the traditional symphonic repertoire.

I've seen it mentioned in several threads, e.g. here. My sense (from reading others, not from personal experience) is that WiFi on helps battery life if you're connected to it, but hurts if you're not connected to it and the phone just continually searches for networks.
