This has nothing to do with trained cold water swimmers. Your figure is just completely off. 15C water does not kill people in three minutes. It does not cause cardiac arrest. An average person could last hours at that temperature. See the

Your general point is totally valid -- cold water is dangerous. But your survival times for 15C are ridiculously pessimistic. 15C is just not that cold! The table here shows longer expected survival times than that even at 0C: https:&#x2F

Totally agree, the actual theme of the film is pretty timeless. I was just entertaining the "obsolescence" debate

Fair enough, but health and fitness are not just for sport and culture. It's practical; you don't want your astronauts to have medical emergencies in space. Similarly, if you put resources into training them you'd rather they

From what I remember the film didn't focus on intelligence. The main character suffers from genetic disorders that affect his health and lifespan, plus discrimination based on his 'invalid' status. All of that is still very r

The point is that you get significantly more 'drift' by just moving east or west within a timezone. No government is going to care if the local time at solar noon at a certain location changes a few seconds over the years, given t

The fact that exploits exist doesn't imply that using sandboxes is equivalent to running untrusted code directly.

by mb7733 4y ago
But the client side code in a web-app is run within the browser sandbox, which is not equivalent to running a random exe... Unless you meant something else?

You misunderstand me. I'm not criticizing the axios developers, I'm criticizing downstream developers that blindly deploy new versions to production. Many of these products are likely commercial based on their comments

All these comments on GitHub are amazing to me. How do you let a new build of your project with a new version of a such a fundamental dependency get deployed to _production_ without being tested first, manually or otherwise?

That's two orders of magnitude, but your point stands. I think way fewer children die in car accidents than I imagined.
