  • Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with General Electric engines

    Edit: wowsers, apparently I made a controversial comment. Let me provide the context that I based my comment on. From the guardian article:

    "According to a preliminary report by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, moments after take-off both the switches in the cockpit that controlled fuel going to the engines had been moved to the “cut-off” position. Moving the fuel switches almost immediately cuts the engine.

    The initial report did not recommend action against Boeing, who manufactured the 787-8 Dreamliner, or General Electric who manufactured the engines."

  • What's dystopian is that a company like google will fight tooth and nail to remain the sole owner and rights holder to such a tech. A technology that should be made accessible outside the confines of capitalist motives.
    Such technologies have the potential to lift entire populations out of poverty. Not to mention that they could mitigate global warming considerably.
    It is simply not in the interest of humanity to allow one or more companies to hold a monopoly over such technology

  • This is worded ambiguously. I suppose they mean that certain adults have not managed to develop beyond the level of a three year old. However, the way it is worded, I think the more sensible interpretation is that for certain adults, an obstacle truly does get in their way. Suggesting that they are powerful or have a lot of momentum. Which could be a compliment. At any rate, not an amazing revelation but I thought I'd give my two cents
