Yes, for those interested in this scenario, check Helios Airways Flight 522. I think that's what happened with MH370, except that the depressurization was deliberate. Most likely a single pilot stayed alive and functioning in the cockp

Well, try living in a country that shares over a thousand kilometers of border with Russia, and which has been invaded many times by them during past 300 years, resulting in massacres of civilian population. Then you might see things differ

US sure do seem like the good guys, if you happen to live next to even worse guys, such as Russia. The US might want your natural resources, but that's less bad than Russia's desire to annex your entire nation and genocide its pop

Russia losing free trade with Ukraine is pretty much nothing compared to the economic damage caused by the sanctions, and loss in gas sales to the EU. Putin's action would have been rational if he had captured Kyiv in a couple of days

There's nothing wrong with getting involved in foreign wars, if that means supporting a nation that has been attacked by its neighbor in gross violation of international law. I don't agree with US involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan

You didn't have to invade Ukraine, yet you did. Besides, it's not like Russia keeps sports and politics separate. They don't, they never have. Why do you think state-sponsored doping has historically been big in Russia and So

Yes, between Ukraine and Russia. I believe that any act of sabotage inside EU should be responded with similar act inside Russian territory.

Russia will never learn as long as they get to break every international law possible, but their opponents play by the rules. They respect only force, which so far West has been unwilling to use. Obviously direct military confrontation with

It's Russia who escalated, though. If they chose a path of co-operation and friendly trade instead of trying to enslave their neighbours, then they would be allowed to compete in the olympics. Of course the real problem is that it&#x27

Oh yeah, you're right. Rising rates basically crashed the entire construction sector in my country for that reason, since few people can afford the rates, so no new mortgages.

by weweersdfsd 2y ago
Yeah, it's more or less same mess in Europe too. Young people are supposed to take 20-30 year mortgages that require a stable career to pay back, while corporations do their best to make everyone unemployed via advances in AI and robot

Based on my understanding, the cost-quality ratio of most higher education in the US isn't exactly great either. Students from poorer families taking massive student debt to study something that doesn't even get them much better i

There are things like IVAO/VATSIM networks which allow you to communicate with real people playing ATC. Back in the days (like a decade ago) there were also some speech-to-text based addons, which allowed you to do (very basic) things

Yep, benzos work great for treating stuff like occasional anxiety attacks or sleep issue, but taking them regularly is never a good idea.

What Russian fascists are doing in Ukraine has the same outcome as the atomic bombings in terms of death toll. It just takes longer.

Yeah, diagnosis like ADHD and autism have been invented just to make sense of the various ways our brains can be different. There's a high rate of comorbidity between the two, and various other diagnosis, which means they are not reall

It shouldn't take an incident like a panel detaching mid-flight to discover the missing bolts. The processes clearly aren't working very well at Boeing.

I haven't seen such a shift at all. My country has a record shortage of psychologists, and mental health epidemics, particularly in the young. Antidepressants kind of suck too, major side effects and often barely better than placebo in

by weweersdfsd 2y ago
I think it's just the complexity of our brains that's the issue here. Your brains can be different in really many ways, and many of those differences can cause multiple symptoms, which are then used as a basis for diagnosis. That&

"The Electronic Intifada" doesn't sound like a very balanced and unbiased source.

They've dominated for years, but now all big tech companies are using their products in scale not seen before, and all have vested interest in cutting their margins by introducing some real competition. Nvidia will do good in the futur

The problem is that often a child with ADHD may also have autism, or various other difficulties (learning disabilities, anxiety disoder) that may mask, or have similar symptoms. And then you can also have such disorders without having ADHD.

by weweersdfsd 3y ago
I wonder if the symptoms you described can be also explained by being on autism spectrum. And then there's generalized anxiety disorder - a common comorbidity with ADHD, which could also cause worrying about failure. I fairly certain I

The problem is quality control of production and new features. It doesn't matter how old most of the design is, if someone messes up in the production line, or if new features are not adequately tested like in case of MCAS. Lack of QC

Wikipedia claims that "Some states, including California, Hawaii, Maryland, New York, and Oregon, have banned chlorpyrifos on food grown and sold in their jurisdictions. Those bans remain in effect." It's also 100% banned in

Does the increased productivity really benefit the society, or just shareholders? If companies have the choice between doing more with 2x more productive workers, or firing half of their workforce to increase profits quickly, at least I bel

In Finland we've been told that there will be a huge shortage of workers since early 2000s or so. Yet it seems like barrier for entry in low-skilled jobs is only rising. In some areas even minimum wage jobs for teenagers require multi-

Definitely some are. In Finland the situation is basically such that if you cross the border from Russia illegally, you can just claim asylum and stay here for a long time, especially if your home country refuses to take you back against yo
