And yes, I have done it so many times myself too

If only I had a penny for everyone I heard this argument and we ended up breaking regression tests or something really obscure in the qa or customer setup

Not blaming you :D

1 point sample here but I never manage to get reliable WiFi on a NUC6i7KYK. Hardware that should be included in the “well known” category.

What this revealed to be is a bit more than a university Computer Languages assignment.

A toy project if you want.

First time I called Amazon they told me it was a mistake and I shouldn't be worry.

Second time they told me that they were sent from another account, but they cannot tell me anything more about it and I shouldn't worry.

Third time they told me the name on the account is "Elia" but they wouldn't give me any more details, and again they told me I shouldn't worry.

Fourth time today I called them and they started again with the usual story of saying they cannot tell me who is sending the packages to me. However when I mentioned the name "Elia" the representative lost her guard and came back and told me that after looking further in this account she could see that the card used had actually my name. Not only that, but the account had only 7 orders, all sent to me.

She then proceeded to ask me the four last digits of the card! No matter how hard I tried to explain that I cannot know the last for digits because I don't know which card it is, I didn't manage to make any progress.

She kept insisting that "Elia" is my relative and I gave them my credit card number. Tried to escalate to fraud department but they told me that there is no such department and I can only escalate to the supervisor. The supervisor was even more tight with her replies and she refused to provide any more info.

In the mean time I have checked as many of my credit cards as I remember and non of them show any suspicious activity.

My question is, how are these scammers trying to scam me? Anybody had a similar experience before? If they are not using truly one of my credit cards, how come they use my name? I checked my credit report and I don't think it is a case of identify thief either. What could be going on here?

What do you mean civil disobedience? It’s not like there is a law forcing you to board the plane if you don’t want to.

Notice they have never briefed you about this new system because they didn't want to retrain you.

You happily drive along the highway at 70mph when the system malfunctions and incorrectly thinks the car is over-steering left, so the steering wheel starts rotating clockwise. The car swiftly moves to the lane in your right as you use all your strength to prevent it and manage to bring the car back in the lane.

In the mean time all kind of lights and sounds go off on your cockpit. In 5 seconds, while you are trying to find out what to make out of all the lights flashing, the steering wheel starts turning the card right again. This time you are not so lucky and you crash into the truck on your right.

It all comes down to this:

"There are far too many aerodynamic bandaids that are permitted to pass the current standards. Not just this particular airplane, but a whole bunch of airframes. If the basic aerodynamics won't pass without the pushers, pullers and now AOA induced changes to primary and secondary controls then a new design of the wing platform should come into play."

The way I interpret this, is that the plane should never have gotten the green light to fly.
