Absolutely. And he's missing a key point, that the fuel leaks were caused by vibrations in the fuel lines causing resonance. Overpressurization tests do not reveal those problems, they simply simulate pressure and not the stresses and vibrations of launch.
This whole article is bullshit
This is disappointing for Rossman. I like his content a lot and he's on the right page, but I think he's big enough that he needs to start adopting some journalistic standards. For example, if he reads that some company is doing something stupid, at least bothered to call them and ask for a comment before he drags them through the mud on his channel.
I remember reading a story a while back about the documentary they were making on him. He had his special diet of juices and supplements and whatnot, which he claimed helped him while his liver was failing. The actor who portrayed him started following the same diet to better get in character. Only then he collapsed on set with liver problems. They did a full medical work up and basically told him whatever you're doing stop doing it because it's killing you. He went back to his normal diet and he was fine. Raising the serious question, did Steve Jobs outsmart himself to death? If he had given up all the diets and supplements and whatnot might he have lived?
During world war II, a Japanese general was once quoted as saying "you do not invade the mainland US. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass".
Compare the cost of doing this, with the deterrent effect of your enemy's knowing that basically the entire population can mobilize as a militia, it's pretty extreme.
Go Poland!
Exactly. I would extend that and the article's premise to say, tech isn't innately good or bad, it is just a tool that can be applied in good or bad ways. For example at his cafe, a QR code ordering system could have been optional for those who prefer it, and could be easily implemented without collecting any personal data. And that could actually be a positive thing for those who want to reorder without getting up or who have social anxiety. But by forcing all customers into this confusing and privacy invading system, the tech becomes a bad thing.
The villain of that story is not tech. The villains are the online ordering company that decided to make a data grab, and the cafe owner who decided to buy tech so he wouldn't have to pay servers.
That would require genuine intelligence. We only have artificial intelligence, both in the machines and the empty suits who market them.
For the last year or two AI has been the buzzword of the day. Anyone not investing in AI is considered dinosauric. Just like cloud was 5 to 10 years ago.
Only the cycle has happened a little more quickly this time. AI was supposed to produce immediate revolution, and we are seeing the immediate results are... Just okay.
Google spends billions building an AI that takes 10x more power per query than a standard search, only so it can tell people to superglue their pizza together and jump off the Golden Gate Bridge when they are depressed.
Copilot 365 costs about as much as an E3 license, so turning it on basically doubles your monthly spend with Microsoft. I don't see it doubling anybody's productivity.
AI is like cloud. There are some places where it makes sense, where it can be helpful, where it can save time or help do difficult jobs. That is not everywhere doing everything for everybody, and I think perhaps some of the world is starting to realize that.
I hate this. I think it should be illegal. Or make a building code that there has to be a real extractor hood above the stove in all cases.
I'll bet they are great live. I actually have only heard one song of theirs, which I found by accident years ago when trying to find something else. Everlasting Light, played live. One of very few songs that completely makes it obvious how much mp3 compression sucks, and even if you download the FLAC (sadly not high res) you can still hear everything wrong with your speakers and if you listen to it on good headphones then you can hear the deficiencies of the mic they used to record it.
Truly a huge amount of audio information in that track. I love it!
His old electrician is correct. Paper towel wrapped around the wound, wrap it with one layer of duct tape or gaffers tape and you're good to keep working. This is one of those 'everybody who's ever worked a trade knows it' type things.
It would have been Bernie if he wasn't pushed out by DNC.
He would have absolutely wiped the floor with Trump.
People wanted a radical change candidate, Bernie offered that, Hillary did not.
Problem starts earlier in life. I know someone who is a teacher in lower school. Ask the kids to make a presentation and literally in 90 seconds you will have a PowerPoint with 15 slides full of pictures and embedded video. Ask them to write one slide of text and they'll struggle to put three sentences together.
Reason is pretty simple, a lot of the parents never read to their kids. They grew up on iPads. Video is the medium they are accustomed to. And so they struggle with written information.
