Nuclear does usually fine under corruption, war and fraud. Largest nuclear power plant in Europe is in Ukraine, just next to warzone.

But genociding your engineers is probably not best idea.

No, we moved on and do not care. There are many companies that make laptops and keyboards. 5 years too late.

Re:Facebook is giving $1k to every employee on Tuesday March 17, 2020 @12:56PM (#22607027)
I work with some of them in Greece. They have monthly contract extensions and are paid by day, no sick leave. Most offices have skeleton crew now. Technically it is not fb, but agency who employs them.
It depends on how fast corona virus goes away.
Hospitals are already stretched, it takes hours of waiting to treat normal injuries such as broken legs. Waiting list for some operations is years long.

How many people are going to die from other causes, if we shutdown entire country for 6 months? How many of those will be children and young people?

It may sound harsh, but as a younger person I prefer this plan.

All this innovations, adjustments and frames with joints add extra weight. Going ultralight might be far more beneficial.
Re:South Korea's drive-through testing for coronavirus on Friday March 13, 2020 @06:45PM (#22571527)
If only CDC allowed "non official" tests.
The week seems okish. I love article how Senegal in Africa can have test results in 4 hours, and now they develop handheld device for testing

Not sure if it is real or parody.

Re:US admits 'failing' on testing, says Fauci on Thursday March 12, 2020 @01:30PM (#22559353)
There is nothing secret about RNA testing. Any decent lab can synthetise its own markers from a file downloaded from internet. It is like genetic research is illegal in US or what.
Re:Tesla’s success in Europe catches industry off guard on Wednesday March 11, 2020 @07:12AM (#22544785)
No, I used it as an example of bad safety. But it is still better.

Both autopilots get sometimes confused and drive into solid wall.

Boeing did recall, fix the problem and is now trying to restore trust.

Tesla just does whoopsie, we are startup, need to fix bugs. Or blames customer: "please do not use our $20k autopilot as an autopilot"

If Tesla takes safety seriously, it should at least rename its software.

Re:Tesla’s success in Europe catches industry off guard on Wednesday March 11, 2020 @05:28AM (#22544341)
Boeing has far safer software, I don't see why Tesla should get a pass.

I am a customer not stunt double.

Re:Covid-19 update and guidance to limit spread on Tuesday March 10, 2020 @04:07PM (#22539113)
Honestly there are people who just do not care. Article has interesting content. But political stuff is just like ads, you ignore it, or go away if it becomes too annoying.

I am not even from US, we have universal healthcare, but it is even more broken than yours.

Original memo gives good pointers, references, and ways to improve. It is also very short. I would love this critisizm on my work.
