The debris may yield significant clues. Those may then be able to be validated with independent testing rather than requiring a full vehicle.

The shuttle did something nobody had done before and was viewed as a genuine step forward in human capability. It was also over 50 years ago and had to rely on technology of the time - uncrewed tests were much harder to perform. This wasn&#

The craft survived several launches - that proved it can do it. Whether it can do it reliably / survive fatigue accross repeated cycles is a different question. Imagine we'll find out as the investigation progresses.

> The vast majority of marine (and aviation) accidents are a result of operator error, not mechanical failure. Could that be because the vast majority of mechanical designs go through processes designed to validate them and catch flaws?

I'd imagine dispose is a common function name and being dynamically typed there is potentially a lot of code out there that already has a "call dispose if it exists on this object" pattern. Vs this won't break anything e

If you work in social media, you can probably afford a subscription based enriched app that pays the API fees. It's the normal users that suffer. Hopefully that suffering will hit Reddits usage/cash flows enough to make them u tur

White men applying for software and management jobs could make the same point. Positive discrimination almost always results in someone else facing negative discrimination because of the same attribute. It can also lead to further problems.

The bigger problem is cost. The hardware costs alone of running something like GPT 3.5 for real time results is 6-7 figures a year. By the time you scale for user numbers and add redundancy... The infra needs to be doing useful work 24&#x2F

The underlying technologies very rarely change and offer very stable APIs. Apache has been around nearly 30 years. NGinX nearly 20. Both offered major advantages over existing solutions, but also interfaced with the rest of your codebase us

Many professional / salaried roles would be fine with that. I get in early, only take 10 minutes at lunch but then I head home at 3-4PM to miss rush. Sometimes I log back in from home and do more hours (especially if there is a problem

Trust isn't black and white. Removing the cert entirely breaks existing applications which comes with its own risk. Using TrustCor as an example there is no hard evidence they have done anything wrong. Is that enough to justify cutting

Could also just be awareness of the limitation of the film. You're not going to send a card out to every lab in the country that looks crap.. And they still need caucasian skin to look good / its their biggest market.

Thats not entirely true - the flexibility can have its own value. Unlike an ASIC you can handle multiple workloads or update flows. For example timing protocols on backbone equipment handling 100-400Gbps. Depending on how its configured you

If one firm develops this their competitors look to do it. You end up with huge investment in the science behind it with everyone trying to do it with higher throughput, lower latency and lower build / run costs than their competitors.

The thing you miss is the ecosystem tie and just how many users could get by with only the base functionality. i.e. Paying $25k for an IM system for a PA or some basic trade management functionality for a middle office analyst is ludicrous.
