Oh I would, and that he may go completely broke too, and die miserable, alone, and in pain. These people's greed has caused enormous harm and cost uncountable lives. That's what keeping this knowledge to yourself does, otherwise our doctors would still be doing bloodletting and sacrificing small animals. And in a certain way, we still are. Which doctor has the money to access all those journals? Lost of clues to a cure for lots of diseases are probably buried somewhere in expensive journals.

But noo, please for the love of money withhold the doctor that information, let him pay thousands of dollars for it, so that he will not read any of it, and let his patients suffer and die. Like they did when we were still doing bloodletting.

Like I said, the 14 yo lives and originates in Europe. Cashdollar told so. Yet you fail to mention that and, despite the whole world knowing how explosive the political situation between the US (where YOU originate) and Iran is at the moment, you selective only mention Iran and no other country.

So yeah, factually correct maybe, but very biased by selective editing. That's textbook propaganda. If you don't see that you're part of it.

> such labels are useful to establish an identity around which to build a cultural and political movement, particularly to counteract and attempt to replace the typically negative or hostile labels

Ehm, does that actually work however? I see what you say happening, but does it bring the desired goal?

I also kind of find it stroking with a way to broad of a brush to say that "society" puts "hostile labels" on groups. This isn't always the case. I'm part of society, but I for sure aint doing that, and I don't really want to be put in the same box with people who do.

The complexity in that few sentences you wrote alone wants me to keep doing nice and simple and reliable ipv4. I don't think I'll ever transition, because the amount of knowledge I have to acquire to trust myself with all the complexities of ipv6 is gigantic. Ipv4 however, is simple. I can have a simple firewall at home that does NAT, a DHCP server and I'm done and secure. Well ok, secure enough. But I don't even know how to find out what documentation to study to make that same setup on ipv6.

The first sentence of the article is also pretty funny: "Facebook stressed it will not control the new digital currency and users don’t need to trust Facebook in order to use it"

It's like Boeing saying: Boeing doesn't fly your plane, your pilot does, so you don't have to trust Boeing in order to fly on Boeing airplanes.

If it would only run flawlessly on Windows, I would gladly run Postgres. It doesn't though, so I chose MySQL for my project. This was two years ago however, things might have changed.

*edit: I recognize a lot of what you mentioned though, and MySQL sure has its draw backs. Still it seems to work fine for a lot of people.

Banning people from planting veggies. Veggies!

Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, under US military control, every year, millions of acres of Opium are planted, harvested, processed, packaged and shipped, suplying over 90% of the worlds' Heroin. [0]

What a world.

It's so nice to learn that back then, as now, trans people at some point in their live transitioned and then tried to live out their lives as the other gender, and were successful at it. Some only being found out after death or by becoming really ill. Luckily we're more open about it now. Also, now, as back then, most trans people just want to fit in and not be labeled 'other', or 'trans' for that matter.

Not coincidentally the bottom six positions on that list are also the countries the US and NATO decided to invade during the previous two decades.

Can't have those people you want to kill leaving the country now can you?

Duckduckgo is free, has no surveillance and ads, and its just as good or better than google.

> What could happen (but still unlikely) is that those within the company who made the decisions that led to the deaths of 300 people could be held to account in a court of law.

Sorry, I laughed. That will never happen. Boeing may go under, but those rich bastards will always be able to stay out of jail. Name me one exec of a plane manufacturing company that has gone to jail over a crash. There aren't any.

That must be because of the over promotion of LGBT then.

Also look at this: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/06/24/lgbtq-a...

"Young people are growing less tolerant of LGBTQ individuals, ... , a survey released Monday shows."

Because the promotion and attention seeking is everywhere, people think it's everywhere. That's why we're starting to see it backfiring now. And, lots of parents just don't want that message broadcasted to their kids all the time, at least not until they're a certain age. Parents realize the whole 'having a weewee doesn't make you a boy' story can be extremely harmful to young children. And so they teach their children to ignore those influences when they encounter them. That starts to reflect now in polls and attitudes.

I bet on the LGBT community to start fighting even harder for tolerance again though, because the activists (who do all the speaking) seem to be quite incapable of self reflection and self examination.

I sincerely hope that the ongoing trade and business war will lead to nice new competitors to Android and iOS. The more countries they ban the higher the chances.

We all know that the NSA will never be regulated. They have the most dirt on everybody.

Let's hope they do so we can meme it to death. It shouldn't fly any more mile anyway, just out of respect for the victims. It's like trying to recertify the Hindenburg at this point.

2 out of 393 is roughly 0.5%

Can you imagine killing 300+ people and then having to talk in such a way to accomplish that down the line the least amount of money will go to the families of the victims? This man has really has no soul.

They don't even have the manpower for that. So that's the PR dept probably.

Me too. I know the 787 is choke full of design and construction errors as well, but am curious about the others. We'll have to wait on any model to start falling out of the sky regularly to get an answer though. Because as long as it doesn't fail they're sure as hell not going to check. That's how you design planes at Boeing see? You half ass a plane, and then let the public beta test it.

> How fast do you think this stuff can happen?

Above I posted a seven year old documentary about the 787 Dreamliner, and there were the same problems of Boeing doing the FAA's work. So to answer your question: I don't really know, but it seems to be decades at least before anything changes, if at all. And that's really appalling.

>I'm going to assume you're no engineer.

I am, actually.

As an engineer you can calculate a risk like: this part under this type of load will fail at x, and then design so that x is never reached (or in a million years or so) to make a design safe.

A manager can calculate risk like: if we sell 5k planes, and we can make them $1000 cheaper by using a part that will increase the likelihood of a crash by only 2%, since the chance of a crash is already very very low, we might as well use the inferior part and make $5m extra. That way I can buy that third mansion I want.

Both are calculating risk. The engineer calculates for safety, the manager for his stock options. Which do you think is better?

My point is, the goal should always be complete safety. Even though engineers know that that is impossible, and even though lots of managers don't care at all about safety. We should still strive for it. Total flight safety should be the goal, not a byproduct of good engineering.

That's why we have the FAA in the first place, because we don't trust those managers at Boeing to make the right decisions, because experience learned us we shouldn't.

We trusted on the FAA and Boeing to hold that goal of passenger safety to the highest standards, but they betrayed that trust completely by letting Boeing do the FAA's work! Isn't that completely bonkers? Perhaps we just should scrap the FAA as well and let the Europeans certify all planes. I don't know. But right now there's nothing but ass-saving going on, and that doesn't restore trust in either of those organizations.

Lot's of people should be going to jail for this, but they wont, because they're rich and can buy their way out. Everybody knows this. That's the way the United States works. Justice is only for the rich and powerful. That's how Boeing can kill 300+ people and get away with it. As an engineer, this worries me greatly.
