I won the court case against Churchill Home Insurance

People may recall that my house was damaged by the storm on Feb/2018. Churchill Home Insurance refused my claim, so I took the Churchill Insurance to the court.

Churchill Home Insurance refused to discuss for a settlement and insisted to go to the hearing.

Fortunately, I finally won the case on the hearing at the Cambridge County Court by myself (I don't appoint any solicitors).

Despite I won the case, I don't suggest others to take the similar action without solicitors. It was so stressfull, just not worth the time and effort.

Huawei is really in trouble without ARM licenses

Huawei is in really trouble with business stopped by ARM.

A mobile phone chip usually has many CPUs apart from the 4 or more main cores which are well known by most of consumers. It wouldn't surprise me if there are more than 10 small CPUs such as ARM M0, M3 of M4 inside.

Without licenses from ARM for those small cores, I expected Huawei is no more able to make the Kiren chip legally.

Let's wait and see.

Tesco mobile doesn't allow forward calls to another number

Tesco mobile doesn't allow forward calls to another number which is really annoying when traveling out of EU as I want to forward the call to a VoIP number.

Boeing Issue is System Failure of Management

The Boeing problem is not a single technical issue, it is a system failure of the management including specifying, design, verification, validation, quality control and certifying.

Looking backwards, there are some obvious flaw of the MCAS system on the very early specifying stage, and none of the later management process including FAA checking caught the problem.

If those management system issues cannot be addressed by Boeing, then I expect more and more issues will be discovered, some may more serious than the MCAS system flaw.

Boeing is still trying to limit the issue in technical level which is the most dangerous thing.
