in college I went to an Amazon presentation trying to get CS majors to apply and the guy straight up said they weren't automating fulfillment centers because they'd have to build capacity for the Xmas rush that would go unused most of the year so it was just cheaper to hire temps as part of his regular presentation with a slide deck and everything it was pretty revealing at the time and has only become more so in hindsight

I think the official explanation for why the core landed so hard was that it ran out of fuel on the way down. doesn't that mean it leaked more than expected or did they miscalculate the fuel required? well I guess one implies the othet

eschaton posted:like when Marvel films become unavailable for digital rental in the lead up to a new film’s release wait seriously? the the multi-decade story arc that you kinda want some familiarity with when you walk into the next installment gets pulled from availability right when fans might want to catch up? and you know someone who says "yes this good decision because made by business  "?IDK dude this is getting to be a pretty tall tale

fishmech posted:multi-decade long story arc aka some bullshit that can be handled by the first 10 mintues of the daily new marvel movie kinda I guess. worst one for me was spending most of iron man 3 wondering what the gently caress could possibly be causing Richie Richard panic attacks even though I'd seen whatever movie that plot point was from too not that I'd spend time ~catching up~ on the marvel universe to prepare to watch very nicely rendered destruction but I bet the market is there. the only reason I can think of for someone watching old marvel movies to come to to decide to skip the new one is if they remember they're kinda whatever on average

Sagebrush posted:airline seats are unbelievably terrible and i'm convinced that they do it on purpose. those don't have to function as flotation devices in the event of a water landing because nobody is going to survive that in a cessna anyway IDK if it's the lense but that looks too narrow for me which I hate more than hard seats because my rear end recovers from them a lot faster than my back does from scrunching up my shoulders for hours

bob dobbs is dead posted:isn't there like 3 water landings total in history where an appreciable number of people survived that's probably the right order of magnitude but it's more about preventing possible tragedy than saving an appreciable number of lives. sounds real bad when survivors drown because there's nothing to float on even if there usually aren't survivors to need to float

hobbesmaster posted:aircraft will all float and are designed such that a gear up landing is not a write off. ditching a light aircraft has a 85% success rate according to this page http://www.equipped.com/bschiff-ditching.htm huh! way better odds than I thought I figured the gear going into the water would flip it clean over and knock the occupants around enough to make sure nobody would be conscious enough to get out but I also didn't bother to check to see if it had retractable gear
