You think that justifies the atrocities that have occurred so far? That's terrifying.

In the meanwhile, we have things like the equal employment opportunity act of 1972 being repealed.
If you think that last one is a good thing then I see why you’re being reactive.
It makes a good point though, there’s so much going on in the executive branch right now. Much of it is destructive imo. This is a great distraction for most Americans who aren’t very tuned into politics in general.
But Krypton is the best :P
I have read up on the 777 and yes, I agree it’s incredibly safe statistically (as is the 787). I didn’t realize the commenter was talking about the Malaysia flight either. Apologies to them
I think you mean to say cutting back on costs due to corporate greed?
What? Do you have a source for the last one? That sounds like corporate propaganda. It’s well understood AND PROVEN that the MCAS system (which was a system borrowed from decades old military code) was at fault for this incident. Saying it was suicide seems incredibly disrespectful to both pilots… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_Air_Flight_610 In the article it even states they found the wreckage…
Hopefully it gains higher adoption among other public schools, FRC was foundational to my SWE journey
If anything this event further radicalized me into the gun control argument. I have shot a few and they’re fun and all, but at the end of the day it’s impossible to detach the form from the function. They are killing machines. Something as powerful as a firearm should absolutely have a regular psychiatric evaluation attached to it if you insist on owning one.
His mood post trip became increasingly abysmal. He became highly paranoid, and started questioning the loyalty of the people close to him like his family. I now know that this was a sign of possible schizophrenia. I now know that dementia runs in his family. He started creating simplistic yet disturbing paintings. I wish I still had them.
This happened in March of 2020, COVID had just become a national concern. I was dating long distance at the time and she wanted me to come up before the airports closed down. Sometimes I regret going. I wish he had gone somewhere so he wasn’t alone. He ended up shooting himself with his grandfathers rifle.
I guess the lesson here is be cautious with drugs that can accelerate mental illnesses if you have a family history of them. Check up on your friends that have bad trips and seem kinda off.
Also, serious engineering chops WITHOUT the billions of dollars doesn’t get you very far anyway. It’s not like there is an abundance of organizations with the resources to compete with spaceX.
If the US budget was properly balanced for that as opposed to more war maybe we would’ve gotten self landing rockets and more by now…
Also, I find your sentiment to be lacking nuance. We CAN’T do everything at once. There are obviously priorities and budgets and technological barriers that make some problems practically easier to solve than others. Why not go for the low hanging fruit first? Why not spend valuable resources improving our overall quality of life instead of mass producing some oversized electric hotwheels truck?
