While they never achieved their primary goal I find it difficult to describe the 'expedition' as a failure. That story of three men getting in a row boat and trying to sail to South Africa from Elephant Island leaving the others b

The user I'm replying to is making contradictory statements -- I'm asking questions to try and illustrate the contradiction. If this issue is unrelated to Boeing it's also unrelated to Airbus.

by s_dev 2y ago
So why did Airbus modify the door latch?

by s_dev 2y ago
This incident isn't related to Boeing .. at all ... but when Airbus do it (which you assure it happens more frequently) it's related to whom exactly, and why did Airbus fix it if it wasn't related to them (modified the door l

It's more enlightening to think about the proceeds of the funds. If we're taxing the stupid we must be collecting a fair bit of coin, where does the society direct that funding? Education, facilitating children's sports activ

That's exactly what happens. How we need to respond though is by not linking to status pages hosted by that party, instead we should be linking to a StatusGator or DownDetector page as a 'source of truth'.

Status pages can never be trusted.

I don't think such precision is necessary for typical 'cooking' but baking is different -- it's just straight up chemistry and the ratios are not just useful guides but vital to getting recipe right.

Three suicides make this crime a bit more violent than you give it credit for. Not to mention absolute destruction of 00s if not 000s of lives.

>Humans also need faith to function Faith is fundamentally a bad idea. Take my word for it. If you're rebuttal is: "Why should I take your word" you've already partially come around to a more formal method of thinking

Or you can look at the cut off date of competitive sports players and athletes. If January 1st is the cut off for age there will be a disproportionate number of players born in December. If it's June 1st many of the players will have b

France already has some of the most densely populated cities in the world, Paris is #32. French cities feel less congested than the likes of US cities because it has better cycling infrastructure and public transport options. High populatio

Sounds a bit like the dispute between Ethiopia and Egypt over Nile Water (Ethiopia is building a dam) so definitely plenty of political precedent for conflict over water resources and this will exacerbate this.

>Science is explanatory, not "predictive" -- this is an antique mistake. I see no distinction. If something can explain it can 'predict'.

Does Newton's Theory of Gravity actually understand gravity or is it just a really good tool for 'predicting outcomes'. The understanding is baked in to the formula and is a reflection of what Newton experienced in reality. N

Germany holds a lot of sway in the EU. My point is that Germany didn't do this unilaterally.

That still needed EU approval. Ireland can sell it's beef to the US at a different rate than other EU countries (all Irish beef is grass fed and thus premium grade) again needs EU approval. The EU doesn't mind exceptions to her ru

Yeah -- it's sort of like those people who complain about the plastic lining on compostable coffee cups making them pointless. Like if a 100% plastic and a 1% plastic end up in a landfill or elsewhere the 1% coffee cup is just going to

I will say they've done 'not a terrible job' with their Foundation series -- another hardcore SciFi book. I don't recommend it to people for viewing but I've enjoyed it myself.

That would still constitue a breach. Demonstrating a breach means showing info they should absolutley not have access to. That said such Irish systems are very imperfect e.g. low wages for IT staff and there was breach/attack of the co

I've seen this screenshot doing the rounds but the Irish Dept. of Foreign Affairs has confirmed they've seen no evidence of a breach. Not sure how common it is but perhaps just a bluff to get some Bitcoin?
