Ridiculous and deranged take. No one on the right will endorse mass-shooters. You have plenty of people on the left willing to make excuses for their looters because "muh socioeconomic factors".


I can't tell if this is sarcasm or an actual idea you are proposing.


Serious. Fully automated trains have been aroud for 20 years.


Yeah and it's an awful idea to not have any crew on a train. They should be shorter and have people that can be there for emergencies.


To do what that a mechanic one call cannot do?


Be present? Having someone capable to do most basic troubleshooting and mechanic can do being there when it breaks seems quite efficient and much faster response. No travel or alert time. Notify more skilled personnel if found issue not repairable on spot or can't find it.


At the cost of two humans on the train all the time. If that cost isn't greatly higher than the cost of mechanics to go to the train when there is a problem then you have a basic train maintenance issue to solve - or maybe you are running worn out trains that should have been replaced long ago.


I’ve always questioned this assumption. Doesn’t the factory do a burn-in test for the engine and drivetrain? I’d be shocked if they really were delivered without any basic bathtub-curve test performed.


Yeah, if you've ever seen them loaded onto the trucks, it isn't necessarily done in the most careful manner. They don't get babied before delivery in a lot of cases.

Having said that, once production is in full-swing, they are unlikely to get full "burn-in" tests.

Early production may get a little more for various reasons.


By my understanding the answer according to Christian belief is no. Your body is restored to its fully capability when you enter the kingdom of heaven.


These types of views/takes honestly are not productive. Security is never 100%. If location-based blocking defeats 98% of the low hanging fruit threats, it is most likely worth it. You can then filter down your more costly countermeasures to the 2% of the remaining pie.

Similar reality exists regarding security through obscurity. Is it perfect? No; nothing is. But if the cost to even understand the system in play is very expensive, that alone is a deterrent to low-effort / drive-by attackers.

To be fair she's very easy to hate. She has no identity but to be a victim.


> There is a way to harness this energy regardless.

Yeah, it is called prison. I don't care if someone is "autistic" or "shit-head asshole". If you are a violent son of a bitch, I have a concrete cage with bars to house you in.


You do realize that this is the "correctional system" right? With the goal to fix/correct/reintegrate people into society? What if you can do that before locking them up and throwing away the key? You have zero empathy, friend.

Also - this individual is clearly a brilliant hacker and if that energy could be directed towards the white hat space, defensive posture, that would be invaluable.

Guaranteed Mi6 will be trying to snag this kid for offensive hacking. He'd have been hired already by NSA if he was in the US.


Ok no one literally cares what you think. Apple is solving a problem and you’re just an annoying nerd.


You're confusing quality with gross revenue. First thing that comes to my mind: Marvel movies gross an absolute shit ton of dollars, but the quality of the story is absolute dogshit. Yeah, she won't lose her job, but the quality of said movies lacks.


Sure, but the thing that "Into the Pandaverse" seems to make fun off (according to the description in the GP comment, I haven't seen it) doesn't lead to better quality. Edginess doesn't equal quality, even if some people seem to think just dialing up the edginess-meter would make the films magically better.

It can be part of a quality experience, such as so-called "woke" content can be, if it's done in the right way. But that needs good content creators, with enough leeway and time to make a good experience, same as everything else.


You moved the subject, not everybody cares about 'quality' of movies like movie buffs (like me) do.

Marvel is popcorn fun, sometimes better, sometimes worse. These are not even planned as some art-aspiring movies, so as long as expectations are managed everybody is fine, earnings at least says so and if you don't like whole genre then simply skip them.

Actually, snobbish bashing of Marvel became such a cheap 'look at me' desperate attention grab attempt of teenagers that I don't take it seriously. In same vein as globalization protesters focus on McDonald for some reason. You have endless line of say family movies that are absolute nauseating crap from cinematography, storytelling, character development etc., among other fails of hollywood, anybody wanting to be actually taken serious would start with those 'gems'.


I would love to know the waist size of the average HN user.


My money is on bimodal distribution.
