He was wearing one. Later in the BBC article it mentions him posting pictures of his ruined helmet on twitter Instagram

I’m waiting for a condition of the bailout to be separating Boeing Defense from Boeing Aerospace, so the aerospace side can fail

I think it’s intended as a tongue-in-cheek comment about phones already tracking you, and the OEMs selling that data.

Also they’re completely ignoring the immense personal safety benefits that come with knowing if, say, an abusive ex has slipped an airtag into your car somewhere. This is actually a responsible move for once (assuming it works as intended) because it addresses an unintended but dangerous use for the product, and attempts to prevent it rather than just killing a useful product.

I’m sure there will be in the coming weeks. It’s just a brand new change, so no one has published an extension yet. I did learn you can block the ai results with uBlock origin, however, so that’s huge.

I know they’re not new; that’s just what they’re classified as on Wikipedia. It is “new” compared to Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, etc. The distinction is that the Unification Church came about within the last 75 years, and so is not one of the “old” religious movements.

Shinzo Abe was assassinated over his ties to/support of a New religious movement in Japan. Put your tinfoil hat back on and go to your room

We benefit from the bottomless DoD budget for sure. We have the ability to spend as much as it takes on material and training to ensure reliability and safety for the crew. And it shows. We’ve had several undersea collisions (SSN-711 in 2005 and SSN-22 in 2021), and while both incidents were extremely serious, both boats made it safely back to port for repair.

SUBSAFE was implemented in 1963 following the loss of USS Thresher (SSN-593). It’s a remarkably strict QA program for systems and components exposed to seawater/operating pressure. To our credit, we’ve only lost one submarine since 1963 (USS Scorpion, SSN-589, and she was never SUBSAFE-certified), so the program works.

Similarly stringent controls for the Titan would have either caught all the manufacturing defects in the carbon fiber, or prevented anyone from thinking it’s a good idea to begin with. A big part of innovation is learning what rules you can reasonably bend/break, and which should never be touched. I tend to think pressure hull construction falls in the “never touch” category, at least not without a mountain of testing, data collection, fatigue life calculation, etc. along with communication with regulatory bodies to ensure you meet the principles of the regulation, if not the exact words (again, innovation has it’s place).

I work on submarines. Everything that company was doing gave me a panic attack. The SUBSAFE program exists for a reason. Like, there’s a time and place for innovation, and when people’s lives are on the line is NOT it.

Let’s also not forget that there was no way to exit the submersible from the inside. The door was bolted on by the surface team. So if they had just lost power (instead of being crushed), they would’ve been floating on the surface with no way out. That’s the another obvious horrendous design choice.

Helldivers 2, and the recently announced requirement starting at the end of the month to have a PSN account for a game many people bought a month or so ago on Steam.

it’s a solution looking for a problem.

That’s basically the story of Apple in the last decade or so. They create a “solution”, realize it doesn’t actually solve anything, and then they break some other things to make their solution actually work.

So I’m anticipating that the next iPhone won’t have a screen unless viewed through a Vision Pro.

See, it’s all planned, because they then arrest the criminals and ship them right back to the front! So efficient!

If there was any confidence this is a homegrown design, I’d agree. But in all likelihood, they’ve just reverse engineered and copied Intel architecture and claimed it’s their own.

Well Castro came to power via revolution in 1959, which pissed off the US, and started the push towards the Soviet Union. The nation also hosted Soviet nukes for a very brief time in 1962.

Operation Praying Mantis II: Naval Boogaloo?

Damage is damage. Anything that keeps those ships in yard and not useful to the Russians is a good thing. Especially because now Russia has to sink men, money, and time that they may not necessarily have into fixing them

Knowing the houthis, someone on board probably used the letters “I S R A E L” in conversation at some point, and that was as good a justification to launch some missiles as any they’ve ever had

EGS isn’t any good on PC. What makes them think a workable console version is coming any time soon?

In all likelihood, they’ve been open for business to make it easier to nab intellectual property from the rightful owners. China has probably just decided they’ve learned enough to make their own “homegrown” products, and can safely kick all the western businesses out of the market.
