Why do blades need to be recycled? What's the harm in piling them up on empty land until someone finds use for them (or not)?

CyanBird · a year ago

The blades could easily be cut and used as modern "sleek" housing, or games for kids in parks

There is market for that I feel

Unrelated, but somewhat interesting in Hindu cosmology and ancient scriptures the edges of the bubble of the universe store everything happening, that has happened and is to happen.

CyanBird · 2 years ago

Same in actual cosmology, it is called the holographic principle. The concept is that 3D bodies can be losslessly represented on a distant 2D plane which envelops them or alongside the spherical perimeter of a black hole if they are squished to it

It is not all that applicable, but it is interesting to think about and there are people studying it

Interesting future the one mentioned where the US military could use SpaceX starships to do isle hopping on the pacific in not a dissimilar way that they did during wwii

If there is any military that could do it it might be the US military

I am interested on the logistics of fuel procurement tho, the fact that starship uses liquefied natural gas and oxygen makes for a great mix and rather simple to procure vs other rocket fuels

This might be a blessing in disguise. My youtube consumption will go down by 90% with ads.

CyanBird · 2 years ago

Sucks that YouTube music is not integrated enough to YouTube proper, the discovery systems between both are also just bad

Do you know if any of the storyboarding or concept art was ever published?

CyanBird · 2 years ago

Parts of it yeah

There are some Google drive links with compiled art of the movie

2 years ago or so there was a push by an nft group with fair amount of money to purchase a copy of the dune storybook by jodo that they released to studios....

But it was not meant to be, you might be able to read of it on the web

Obscured the credit card # but didn't think to grant the passenger some privacy and obscure their full name?

CyanBird · 2 years ago

Likely because the aim is to find the actual owner of the phone?

We already have laws for when people are criminally negligent.

You want people incentivized to participate in safety culture, not motivated to frame others or destroy evidence to save their jobs.

People will always make mistakes and have poor judgment sometimes. That will never go away, and punishing people will not stop it. A robust safety culture expects this to happen, and builds in mechanisms to catch problems.

CyanBird · 2 years ago

> we have got laws

Of which as mentioned previously by Miraste/flight 261 regarding Alaska were not implemented clearly and cleanly given that the person who raised the alarm of ghr situation was fired and the situation continued onwards

Right now regarding boeing there are also boeing whistleblowers in new NGOs set up to police boeing malpractice... If only laws work and this weren't necessary, as boeing also has bribed faa staff to achieve their own objectives risking public safety

The argument I've seen is that the amount of seabed that has the required minerals is not big and the surface of the earth is predominantly covered by water so as a percentage of what's there the mined area is small.

I would like to know how bad mining that area is compared that to the damage we will do continuing with internal combustion engines if we don't solve the climate issue, or mining the same things on land. To me it seems we're entering a time when no choice is a nice one.

CyanBird · 2 years ago

And the counter argument to the "amount of area '' not being big ''" is that the zones that will be mined are precisely the richest in ecological interactions and less understood ones, they are the zones with underwater volcanic chimneys

If someone came and said that they want to drag mine/open pit mine the Yellowstone geysers bc of how rich they are with minerals and said as an argument "hey it is just a small part of the park!" I don't believe that many people would be inclined to accept that "argument"....

I still find this whole thing absolutely idiotic given that there are absolutely colossal piles of cobalt, manganese etc left on the tailings of copper and silver mines through the world just waiting for being collected and processed... And you don't need to build specialty equipment to reach the seabed at all

We have no reason to assume that FB is using message content to target ads.

CyanBird · 2 years ago

Op said "sent a message to a friend", it made no reference to facebook

Gmail famously scans the user emails to sell the info to third parties and sell adds

Ought be noted that while WhatsApp to my knowledgeable doesn't carry such a clause. It would be idiotic beyond belief to be led to believe that Facebook doesn't do the exact same thing
