As travel becomes more common I find experiences are becoming too homogeneous. Everyone travels to the same places to see the same things and most people recount having experiences that are vastly similar to other people who also visited th

We could talk to his ghost in a way. If we could gather up all the text and transcripts of things he wrote and said, we could feed it to an LLM and interrogate it with questions.

Yes, the splinters would likely be moving faster than a bullet, it would be like getting shot with a very powerful shotgun point blank.

Another reason we need a better alternative to AWS: they will go as far as to shutdown your AWS infrastructure if you are somehow labeled as a racist or a racist sympathizer by their system.

It seems the bullet is likely faster, bullet moves about 2.6 feet per millisecond which is more than enough distance traveled to kill a human, but the sub takes about 29 milliseconds to implode and kill occupants.

The timeline says the sub was expected back at 3PM, but the implosion was heard at night. So in between the hours of 3PM to when the explosion was heard, I speculate the sub was somehow trapped and unable to leave the wreck site, until afte

Would you wager they died faster than the time it takes for a bullet fired into a head to cause death? The water moves faster than a bullet?

If the explosion was heard Sunday night wouldn’t this mean there’s a possibility the crew was stuck for some time and knew they were likely going to die?

We can do all that except the $10k off. This is very niche vehicle, enthusiast driven. So extra $10k.

I don’t see any members of HN standing up for Stockton Rush. Nor do I imagine they would after his carelessness killed several people. Being seen as an expert doesn’t mean you are one, and it’s unfortunate the Seattle tech community didn’t

Nobody said anything about woke. This is about the dangers of hiring cheap, freshly graduated attractive looking engineers because you don’t want to hire the ugly looking and expensive professionals.

Techno-feudalism? I’m curious what other systems you think could be better.

In his mind he never properly died though, it was damn near instant. He got to live his whole life and never realize the consequences of his actions through a slow, violent epiphany.

It’s definitely better for them, but its infuriating that this CEO died thinking he was a genius for building this shitty sub with very few safety precautions.

IMO the top talent will always be remote going forward. My opinions of those who are forced to work in the office with no physical requirement to be there, is that they are lower quality applicants with poor negotiation power and an inabili

You know the communication equipment failed right? I’m not sure what you expect. You know radio signals don’t travel through water?

The sea is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. The only thing bigger is space.

The controls for this sub are a shitty Logitech controller you can buy off the shelf in Walmart, and a single button.

Technically, since the Venezuelan government doesn’t want people laundering money with crypto, most people there are likely committing crimes and tax evasion with it.

What I wish I knew, don’t bother with the RV. Get something like a nice airstream trailer and a capable vehicle to pull it.

Do not have kids before buying a house. This will almost certainly guarantee you’ll never reach escape velocity to buy a house if you have standard income levels. Also, it doesn’t actually matter much when you have kids. As long as you ha

Nonsense, multithreaded code can be written as bug free as regular code. No need to fear.

I’m afraid not, but other companies could be contracted. Regardless, for a sub like this to just go missing, likely means something catastrophic happened. At those pressures, the individuals likely died instantly and felt no pain.

I don’t think you understand Cloudflare’s capability to build new services. Especially that now Twilio has left this vacuum in the market. If my app needs robust SMS delivery, who can provide it now?
