They did not have control of the blast in the way that all other commercial launches do: with flame trenches, water deluge systems, etc. If the FAA knew that SpaceX could be throwing bus-sized pieces of concrete in the air that could potent

I loved watching the iterative development of the Starship upper stage, and it felt like they were doing it the right way. The full-stack superheavy feels like a different situation. Seeing how little control they have over the enormous bla

I went to a birthday party once for a guy who just got on 30 under 30. The facebook event (made by him) was called "Mr. 30 under 30's Birthday". The whole event was presented with deliberate irony, as if to say "Wouldn&#

Strange to read a flight transcript from before cockpit hygiene training. Transcripts of major incidents today sound like office meetings. These pilots sound emotional and disorganized comparatively.

I definitely think cases like this can happen, and I've had troubles with some drug experiences in the past as well. That being said, the author's report of how they tried psilocybin sounds like a warning sign to me: 3 grams, seem

Yes, and these death-based analysis' also ignore the fact that both Fukishima and Chernobyl could have been much, much worse if major interventions were not made at the right moment. I always think about the Fukishima engineers who got

No, we cannot stop talking about the danger of meltdowns, because it is a proven danger, and a uniquely catastrophic one. Approximately once per decade, a nuclear reactor melts down and either does (Chernobyl) or nearly does (Fukishima) mak

The argument that costs will come down if we build more nuclear worked in the 1950s, but we know now where that goes now. Build More nuclear and costs come down. With more plants there are inevitably more nuclear incidents, the public reali

Soft agree. Mark’s job seems to be done. He did amazing at it 2005-2018ish, but there’s probably someone else who could do a better job today. Google and Microsoft have had enormous growth under hired CEOs in the last decade.

Being able to understand the way in which mathematical usage of phrases like “the same size as” is different than intuitive uses of the same phrase is becoming increasingly important. Only six months ago I was seeing a dozen YouTube videos

Canada triages MRI access to high-urgency cases. My partner got an immediate MRI and 3 follow-ups within a month when she presented at an ER with stroke symptoms.

This seems perfectly fair to me and I don't understand the controversy. Maybe in the US people see "State Affiliated" as some kind of an insult? Public broadcasters like the BBC and Al Jazeera have done extraordinary work at

I think watching the development of driverless cars in the last 15 years has taught a lot of people to be skeptical of 95% solutions. Sometimes you really need that 100% or the solution is practically useless.

The mistakes it makes are not "minor issues". I suspect that the mistakes are the rule, not the exception. The reason this isn't obvious at first is that the range of questions humans are likely to ask it is relatively constr

International treaties are very common. In fact, international research agreements are often easier than treaties because scientists and researchers are more likely to work together as colleagues than nation states.

To those saying "this is impossible in our society", there is a long history of scientific fields mutually agreeing to pause certain work until safety and regulations could be put in place. The Asilomar Conference is an example. [

Lots of people before have claimed there is a "perfect" or "final" aesthetic that is discoverable through science. They've all been surprised 20 or 30 years later when people started liking different things.

The creation and maintenance of moral hazard in our economy is a problem, but it is not a contributor to inflation, the causes of which are fairly clear of you just examine the components of recent increases in inflation.

The author appears to be subtweeting anti-nuclear activists. But I don't think waste is the issue most people worry about when they think about nuclear these days. Meltdowns are the real fear, and rightfully so.

Dunning-Kruger as a scientific result has been thoroughly discredited. The statistical effect they identified occurs in random data as much as real-world data. https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/critical-thinking&#x
