  • I think messing up on NASA projects will hurt a company way more. Of course aviation is supposed to be safe, but even the 737 Max has flown thousands of hours. Comparing how many people that have flown on them, versus how many that have been hurt/killed, is still a small number, which is still is supposed to be zero of course.

    Traversing space, a pinnacle of engineering, is quite another level of danger, and if you insist on your product being functional and safe, and then kills two astronauts, would cause a whole different level of backlash



  • I use the Google calendar, with different types of events in different colors sub-calendars

    • One the things, that only I need to know (eg. Refill the automatic cat feeder, dentist appointment)
    • one shared with the wife, so she can see, if I have plans to see friends or similar, and she has a similar I can see
    • one shared for the daughters appointment
    • one shared that contains my work schedule
    • Public holidays (Maintained by Google, so always up to date)
    • Birthdays and anniversaries All of them displayed on a widget



  • There are several reasons why the ability to determine gender from iris images is an interesting and potentially useful problem (3). One possible use arises in searching in an authorization database for a match. If the gender of a sample can be determined, it can be used to order the search reduce the average search time. Another possible use arises in social settings, where it may be useful to screen entry to an area based on gender but without recording identity (3). Gender classification is also important for collecting demographic information, for marketing research and for real-time electronic marketing. Yet another possible use is in high-security scenarios, where there may be value in knowing the gender of people who attempt entry but are not recognized as authorized persons.

    So useful for marketing, and harassing my trans homies. Fuck that shit!

    From a biological standpoint it is still quite fascinating
