The site is a good example of Poe's Law.
If I didn't know that it was real, I would have thought it was parody.
> We are assembling a lean, cracked team of the world’s best engineers and researchers dedicated to focusing on SSI and nothing else.
Do you have to have a broken bone to join?
Apparently, grammatical nuances are not an area of focus for safety, unless they think that a broken team ("cracked") is an asset in this area.

- lowkey_ 2y agoCracked, especially in saying "cracked engineers", refers to really good engineers these days. It's cracked as in like broken in a good way, like too over-powered that it's unfair.
- Glant 2y agoMaybe they're using the video gaming version of cracked, which means you're really good.
- ctxc 2y agoToo snarky...anyway, "crack" means "exceptional" in some contexts. I've seen footballers using it a lot over the years (Neymar, Messi etc) fwiw. Just realized - we even say "it's not all its cracked up to be" as a negative statement which would imply "cracked up" is positive.
- pedrosorio 2y ago> I've seen footballers using it a lot over the years (Neymar, Messi etc) fwiw. The word "craque" in Portuguese was borrowed from English with the "exceptional" definition and is commonly used. Given how many Brazilian players there are in the top leagues, I wouldn't be surprised if it was commonly used by football players in general.
- ctxc 2y agoMakes sense, thank you! :D
