Do I need to post the Rickover responsibility copypasta again? Simply put service providers own their outsourcing decisions and those consequences. Getting popped by shitty hosting services is a risk of using those services.

Bunny is doing the right thing here and owning it.

No. NP is always poly time reduceable to 3SAT

SpaceX does not make turbines that can run for tens of hours producing megawatts of power. A turbopump is a different beast.

Hygenic macros and the DSL they enable are fantastic ways to prototype things that then inspired stuff like LINQ.

"There is no royal road to Geometry" - Euclid. Mathematical knowledge isn't from tutoring but doing. And no one is against the AI helping explain the tricky parts to help you practice. Rather it's about dumping a giant bunch of low quality text with some Lean claiming a big result is done.

Open problems are not that yardstick. Fermat's Last Theorem is the result of Wiles and Wiles-Taylor, but without key results from Serre, Ribet, Ihara, Langlands-Tunnels, and Frey's program none of what Wiles did would work. But Wiles did get the prize. Nowadays I think the inputs have shrunk a bit by doing more in the R=T theorem so less other cleverness needed.

The engineering library of your local college has all the information needed for ballistic guidance systems.

They were over takeoff velocity at that point and could have bounced up in the air and waited for the thrust to come. Would have been sketchy but better than what did happen.

There is one thing an airline never wants to have happen and it is a fatal accident. Everything else is secondary. Having one caused by corporate policy would lead to mass exodus of passengers.
