Maybe do a bit of research before asking a question that is both trivial to discover the answer to and which is phrased in a way that can be interpreted as dismissive of just how horrible the conditions under which von Braun's slaves w

They had significantly higher death rates than their similar neighbors and they DIDN'T 'save' their economy.

If you compare them to neighbors with the same initial infection timelines and vectors, similar population density, cultural norms and habits that were relatively the same, as well as matching socio-economic status you will see that Sweden

The idea that all of the 'scandals' and morally repugnant behavior within Facebook management and in the company as a whole has been reported and revealed is so laughable that I cannot believe anyone would try to suggest this with

Nice attempt to apply the fallacy of the excluded middle. There are lots of places that are less ethically challenging and morally questionable where you can seek gainful employment, in fact the list of places that are a bigger ethical min

If you are an engineer at FB you have choices, including the luxury of being able to pick and choose your employer based on their moral and ethical impact on the world. There are no salaried employees at FB who are facing the prospect of t

Yes, whenever you see someone wax nostalgic for some golden era in the past when everything was better you can be absolutely certain that this was a period when the group they most strongly identify with was in power and able to exert undue

I would love for you to provide citations and references for your claims that people questioned the validity of the 2016 election. Many claimed Russian interference, many claimed that James Comey put his thumb on the scale, many claimed th

As a simple example of this, let us imagine for a minute that Amazon and Google go to war. Google drops all search results that point to Amazon products or products in the Amazon marketplace and direct those searches to competitors and com

There is not much difference between 'New Coke' and 'Coca-Cola Classic' to be honest. Both were moves to hide the fact that Coke was switching from cane sugar to HFCS. After the New Coke debacle the switch back to &#x2

I believe the point being made was that in the 50s and 60s in the US there was a large domestic market that had almost no foreign competitors (either they were still rebuilding form WW2 rubble or were way behind US tech) and those same fore

They are nowhere on self-driving beyond an over-hyped version of lane-following that everyone else has. Similarly they bring nothing to the table when it comes to solar. They have a battery manufacturing facility but no actual tech of not

I would bet that since these are only for crew they can also put them in places that are more 'unsafe' than general passenger seating. (At least in terms of exit paths and safety regarding getting bumped around during heavy turbul

Crew rest areas will always be around because the planes now have a range that exceeds the maximum on call time for a flight crew. For some long-haul routes it is not possible to make the flight on a single crew without breaking various la

The problem with this 'I know the risks' approach is that it is often put out there by people who do know the risks but these people are massively outnumbered by the huge mass of people who have no idea about the risks but will gl

Four teens getting shot but not killed in gang-related activity would possibly make the eleven o’clock news but probably not make the front page of the large urban papers in Texas, certainly not national news. For a stabbing? No chance.

For those not in the UK, the pearl-clutching here is about an incident where a bunch of teens had a fight in the 13th largest city in the country and four ended up stabbed. None dead (at the moment) and it is headline news here. I would i

This is purely a matter of opinion, but in my experience once scale gets large enough where something like Chef or Puppet looks more appealing you really should be looking at containers/pods. It seems to me that Ansible is hitting the

This will be key I think. When I saw the details of the cold chain required for the Pfizer vaccine I was fairly certain it was only going to be for front-line workers and those with direct access to a hospital, not something distributed at

As they say in Germany, if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis. There is a lot of variation in political opinion that I enjoy and solicit and I enjoyed having some hone

You do realize that real life is not a Hollywood movie, right? Cars do not explode like you see on TV. The crash danger to be concerned about is not that the car will burst into flames, but rather that when you wrap your car around a tree
