Though many of them look like outright fraud (anytime photoshopping is involved), I think some could be honest mistakes. If you have dozens of images that are small variants of the same study, it's very easy to misname one of the files

Only if you want to meaure the number of times you die on average. But you typically want to measure the risk of dying once over a career as a crew, and that is very much a function of how many times you roll the dice. Your probability of s

You may choose to not fly on a boeing plane for political reasons. But if you are concerned about risk, it’s not about comparing the risk of a flight in Max vs riding a bicycle. It’s about a flight in Max vs say, an A320. What I am saying i

I don’t think it makes sense for passengers to worry about the plane model. I haven’t done the math but conceptually it’s like being paranoid about taking plane A that has a 99.99998 safety vs plane B that has a 99.99999 safety. For the cre

By that standard dogecoin is a scam.

How do you tell a scam coin from a non scam one? It's like a cult vs a religion, as far as I can tell the only difference is popularity.

I see half of the article about how he struggled to get the password, so not that dysfunctional.

A bit of a dick move to remove the root password on an IOT device of a flat you only rent.

I think no one in their right mind is going to use sharepoint or teams as a working folder for research data. It's barely usable for regular business users, it's a dog's breakfast for anyone using it programmatically.

But surely the research data isn't stored on a personal onedrive folder. I mean what happenes if the researcher resigns, the university loses the data?

Doesn't the university have network drives?

Well it seems that in this case the problem stopped immediatly after the captain said my aircraft. The problem if I understand the report is that before that he was applying inputs even though he wasn't supposed to fly.

Even without training, I don't see how the pilots could make this error, I am sure every pilot at Air France is very much aware of how AF447 happened. I am a bit puzzled how they managed to basically replicate it.

But when a ship goes down in a lock, can't you push the water back in the lake instead of releasing it downstream? (ie you would pump fresh water, not seawater)

What I don't get is that this is meant to replace a 180MW coal plan, so we are talking about 3h worth of electricity at full load. Not sure how volatile is the weather in Hawaii, but in Europe, when there is no wind, it can last days n

From the article it seems to have only advantages. Is there any downside? Why shouldn't it be used in every portable electronics?

Creates an interesting game theory case if every passager can action every other passenger’s. The equilibrium will either be an empty plane or a quiet plane.

Even if it's cargo and unmanned, you can't let massive objects full of fuel that become uncontrollable if the engine fails fly over populated areas.

So if the engine shuts down you lose control of the plane? Hope they will install ejection seats if it is to be used in an airliner...

I understand going around Africa adds 20% to the route for a ship coming from Asia.

They wouldn't save much US money. Longer routes means less shipping capacity, means higher shipping cost. That doesn't just affect europe, it's a market, a ship leaving China can equally go to Europe or the US. It affects the

MH370 is maybe not a good example, but AF447 is a good one.

Agree. Particularly the tax writeoff argument is complete bullshit. You could make an argument that you need some level of fraud to keep the anti-fraud dept on its toes. It’s like war. If you have an army that has never fought a war in a ce

Yes but this "independence" regularly leads to abuses. In France the secret services are strongly suspected to be behind several major political hoaxes against their president (Markovic affair against Pompidou, Japanese bank accou
