When I had to fly 15 hours each way nonstop to the Far East, I was glad that I used SeatGuru to find the seat in economy class with unlimited legroom (no seat in front of it). Made the trip just a little more bearable, although still not easy by any measure.

Yes and you say front economy row or next to emergency exit doors. Did you read whta YOU are supposed to do in case of emergency? Yes you have obligation - not crew. Check all papers on flying commercial. That is why those places are reserved only to those who can lift a bit heavier stuff and place on seats... like emergency doors. No kids are allowed on those seats.

First you can always check while booking and you should pay attention - it is on ticket iternary. Second it is always in emergency procedure card and you should always at least swipe your eyes on it rather than be know-it-all routine expereinced person who never checks where emergency exists are or what it means when you sit next to those doors (you have more space, but now you have also more obligations to other passengers). It is too late however. Airline can also change aircraft at any time and then what? One of examples is defect detected by crew during departure procedures or some administrative reasons.

And BTW so they starterd falling from sky en masse? Maybe this panic is not in place. Dreamliners had big technical problems, but never fell. This one fell from sky in unknown circumstances, but judgment is already there that it must be technical issue with plane. Good luck with this attitude. It requires investigation first. There were incidents recorded by NTSB such as miscalcualted fuel amount or cargo doors not closed and signalled by ground crew properly and many others, but everybody starts putting blame on aircraft.

I am sorry if i sound a bit arrogant, but having coding and devlopment hands on expertise with some big and medium iconic companies known around the world, I can give one piece of advice to Mr. Cook: Do not teach coding - teach how to use proper engineering techniques to solve life problems (coding might be only small part of it as excercise or POC). If you are running company where development managers cannot grasp that and they cannot comprehend automated testing process with limiting human time on it, then you have very poor idea how to run it while limiting defects, reducing risks, building testing culture and reducing human cost (CPU and storage is always cheaper than human time, but human bring value elsewhere - not on repetitive mundane job wheather it is regression testing or coding similar loop for millionth time).

I wonder what would happen if boys did the same. Anybody sees problem with that?

In general, what is the purpose or what problem is addressed by foldable screen? Let's be specific and stop mumbling about "screen estate" as may not be practical.
