I know juicero was over-engineered so probably a billion dollar apparatus that could take you down 10 feet, and only if the location has been approved by the company. I was just hoping somebody coukd write it funnier. :/

Shrecknet posted:the Juicero was actually ridiculously, amazingly overengineered. Like, the thing was a tank and 10,000% better than it needed to be, since its job was "press down on a capri-sun" This looks like it would have survived better in depth as designed.

I think the reason people are treating this whole "tragedy" so flippantly is that most people have an intense and justifiable phobia about literally every aspect of what these people subjected themselves to. I don't think if any of the Dickwaving Billionaire Space Doohickeys got lost, there'd be this level of joking, because on some level I think a lot of people think going to space would be neat and you can empathize with the person doing it, regardless of how much money they have. Crawling aboard this loving tube to gawk at a gravesite over two miles deep in the ocean, whilst sitting cross-legged and making GBS threads in a hole in front of four other people, has an Enigma of Amigara Fault-esque absurdist horror aspect to it. These motherfuckers found their hole and marched right in.

Incorrect; if musk demanded that a rocket be made with decommissioned Nike Hercules rockets as boosters, because they would be cheaper, then insisted on flying the first mission, in some sort of customized Tesla touch screen control interface, I would absolutely be laughing. I would possibly be laughing even harder!

All the goons saying that a 19 year old is technically an adult probably haven't interacted with an actual 19 year old in years. Contrary to your memories of being that old, they're very clearly neither mature nor independent. It makes me angry at that dipshit CEO who would be considered too on the nose if he were invented for a Saturday Night Live skit.

I love the idea that a day passes on a calendar and a rich kid transforms from pure helpless tabula rasa to pernicious self-determined social parasite. Like the person has to be one or another at any given time, nothing in between.

I think 19 is old enough to realize it's a bad idea and his odds of ending up as a well adjusted person with billionaire parents were low, just that everyone else in the boat was "I am so hyped up to go look at this famous underwater grave that I'll pay a ridiculous amount of money and accept a lot of danger" and he was "I really don't want to do this, but I guess I will go along to make my dad happy". It's a more sympathetic motivation

It would have been made of massive amounts of stainless steel and would survive the pressure just fine, but be too heavy to resurface. Also the oxygen system stops functioning as soon as it loses internet connectivity and can no longer validate the DRM codes on the oxygen tanks.

Rebel Blob posted:We will find out how legally-binding those waivers really are. You can't waive your rights completely, for example the right to sue for gross negligence can't just be signed away. Given that some of the lawsuits will be funded by the estates of billionaires, I kinda doubt the waivers will hold up. America doesn't require certification for deep submergence vehicles so uh, good luck. Especially when the guy that founded the business died. That's capitalism, baby.

quote:In his recollection, he asked Rush whether that was a problem, but he said he was told that the shelf-life dates "were set far before they had to be." To be fair, he's probably not wrong there. To be fair, it's also because aircraft failures due to manufacturing can be catastrophically expensive to the manufacturer, as their Max debacle showed. Anyway, the free market works!

There’s a thread on Hacker News talking about salary and jfc I can’t even comprehend the numbers these people are quoting. I’d link it but I dunno if that’s allowed for various reasons so I’ll just post some choice quotes. The post started with saying Open AI employees get paid a median compensation package of $900k. quote:But it's also important to note that only $300K of that is in cash. Yes, only 300k is in cash oh no the horror. You see, it’s low because: quote:That person could probably be making 500k+ at a FANG with less variance in the stock component. quote:I am at FAANG and virtually everyone at L6 (staff Eng level, many thousands of people) is paid at least $500k, with monthly liquidity (no cliff). 300k? 500k? Sounds great right? But no it’s literally poverty: quote:To be realistic ... 300K in the bay is barely livable if you're targeting a middle class life with kids and targeting retiring at 65. The emphasis is not mine. It continues, after taxes: quote:So that's 162K left. Not a lot to pay sky-high rents, car payments[…] Oh my got shut up. E: quote:A ~$100K signing bonus sounds kind of small for someone making $900K per year.

Boris Galerkin posted:300k? 500k? Sounds great right? But no it’s literally poverty: It's housing. The problem is entirely housing. They are not wrong that $300k gross in the bay area means either perma-renting, or fighting for the smallest and worst of available housing for purchase. With interest rates around 7% now and insurers fleeing the state and insurance costs skyrocketing, most of the people who have bought houses recently on the peninsula or in other desirable parts of the bay are spending around $10k a month just on housing. $300k is a ton of income, but in that hellhole it can't buy somewhere nice to live.

Pay me 300k base + 300k stock and I'll gladly rent and live in a shithole for 3 years before moving to a non-shithole and using the experience as a jumping off point to demand a remote only job.
