Reminds me a bit of the UPS Flight 6 that crashed in 2010. Wasn't the cause of the fire, but the fire heated up the co-pilots oxygen system to the point he couldn't wear it and eventually succumbed to smoke hypoxia. Due to smoke in the cabin the pilot couldn't see his flight deck readouts or out the window and eventually crashed into the ground.

First step to mining a NEO is knowing where they are.

He's got Granny Smith in the shit category, and this just reminds me of a funny story about dogs!

We had two corgis and my wife made all their meals by hand. Part of their diet was apples, but we found one of the corgis would almost always eat around the apple (usually just a cheap red apple) pieces and leave them for the other dog. Then one time Granny Smith apples were cheaper at the grocery store so that is what we purchased and provided. He ate them up!

Turns out the dog just didn't like the sweeter apples and wanted the tart tang of a good Granny Smith.

When COVID broke out I was working with a manufacturing company, helping to fix their PMO. One of the big issues they had was that the only way to get parts through the factory was for the PMs to go down to the shop floor and constantly babysit and move them; the primary directive from management was "the PMs should not be going to the shop floor." Perfect! So COVID hits and I suggest we send the PMs home to work since they are only at their desks working on their computers and talking with customers. Corporate VP: "But if we send them home how will we know if they are working?" Me: "How do you know they are working now?" Of course the most ironic part was that VP was on the phone calling in from home because he lived in a different state that had no business operations in his area. Not surprising to me, that company has since shut down.

So two questions:

1) what other priorities?

2) has anyone that worked on teams actually used it? It has one of the worst UX's ever.

It should also be noted that Small Steps & Giant leaps has been able to create a really strong backbone/backoffice through the utilization of discord.

> I've never felt so disconnected from my teammates.

That's a valid point, but having everyone back in the office isn't the only solution to that problem. It may be the best solution, but seems like the easiest rather than the best.

I'm interested in the ITAR implications here of the video. When asked about seeing the inside of the fuel tank during the crew demo mission Shotwell said no because it was covered by ITAR. This video clearly shows inside a tank.

I would note that today's VW Golf has better horsepower and a higher top speed than the first Ferrari.

I'd love to see your math.

I don't have any math to support my belief just a little bit of logic, but it works like this: 1) 787 burns X lbs of fuel per hour in flight 2) 787 takes Y hours to fly from point A to point B at Mach 0.85 3) X lbs of fuel * Y hours = Z polution 4) Boom burns Xf lbs of fule per hour in flight (could actually be less because it's smaller or could be higher because of additional needed thrust) 5) Boom takes Y.85 to fly from point A to point B at Mach 1 6) (Xf) of fuel (Y*.85) hours = H pollution

So as long H is less than Z then Boom would be decreasing the impact on the environment. Now I know that there are a lot of missing numbers in here like passenger count production impacts, etc. But the solution you seem to imply is that flight just shouldn't happen and I'm not sure this is an option so if Boom can reduce the amount of pollution created by flying then it seems like something you should be for not against.

The blank check is ultimately the problem. I say remove the blank check and then let colleges figure out the rest.

I look to the UK as an example. The government only guarantees $10,000 in student loans so most programs coincidentally cost less than $10,000. Are there exceptions? Yes, but for the most part this holds true.

Not a complete solution but does significantly help to address the blank check issue.

Invisible Inc, the sounds are even on point.
