I think Dune is closer to game of thrones, especially the politics side, Leto II (let's make him not worm like in this example) would have everyone under his thumb in Westeros, ruled over everyone

notaviking ,

I would but it would make his character too overpowered, he would be bran with the all seeing eye and have superhuman strength speed like children of Dune and his burrowing, healing abilities in God emperor. He does have a great weakness with water, but even that would be trivial to him

Was the issues not multiple, like the carbon fibre hul not made using vacuum technologies but just like roll on the sheet and some epoxy in a warehouse, that carbon fibre being strong tensile wise but not compression wise, the titanium carbon fibre interface and their different stress deformations due to pressure, having the Titanic OST playing the whole time, like multiple safety shortcuts and maybe using a game controller as your only form of any interaction, like what happens if some kid bites the cable or something

notaviking ,

I have no issues with the controller either think it was a great addition, were I had a gripe is that it was the only way to operate the vessel, so not an addition but the sum total of controls.

Like if you were bolted into a vehicle, with no way to interact with the outside except a tiny window and only a game controller, it is a lovely piece of efficient engineering and does everything you need, but if this controller maybe gets damaged for example it's cable was unfortunately pinched off by someone's shoe. When you realise at a 1000m the closest thing to a god is that controller working and taking you safely back to surface in time or being stuck and hoping the guy who got you into the mess, that his, only other plan the dissolvable ropes on the weights actually work and you get to surface and get found and unsealed before air runs out.

I have worked in underground mines, and this scenario of being bolted inside gives me way more cluster phobia than any experience I have had

notaviking ,

There's how you spell the word

I think this was the original sin, the root cause. One man's vanity and arrogance, which made him blind to his own shortcomings. He build something great, let us not lie, but we can clearly see in hindsight the obvious truth. Well if what people that know way more than I do are right, the vessel imploded quicker than the neurons in your brain, so it must've been an quick painless death

Usually these program's rules seem very tedious and restrictive and I can easily see one person looking at this and think they are in place to stifle innovation and keep the little guy out.

I remember how he said to not have regulatory approval because of of this or that, but why not get a regulatory expert to have a look, might not approve your vessel but might show clearly missed safety critical blindspots.

But these rules exist for a reason, they where usually written in blood, it's how I know this incident added rules to your SUBSAFE program.

notaviking ,

Ok it probably was prepreg now that I think back, but I saw the application video where the just rolled it on no vaccume bags to remove any voids or cavities

notaviking ,

So cool you work on submarines that is extremely cool, I am in a way different industry, mining. Jeez I wished we had your safety record of only one lost submarine. Our industry has gone through a couple of mines in the same period.

But wow, how does the safety of submarines compare to other industries, granted outside of war times, like compared to trains or even other seafaring vessels

The problem is the reputational damage. Remember not everyone is USA. For example why would this other country's aviation industry choose between Airbus and Boeing, when there is no incentive and possibly liability awaiting for the latter.

We even have flight filters to filterd and choose non 737 max planes. US government might prop up Boeing but remember the market will eventually decide

Pinky pie's pink punch is great to party with friends and if you add polystyrene, it makes a hell of a Molotov cocktail to overthrow the government

notaviking ,

Yeah waiting for Rick to de-curse these pills first

notaviking ,

No, he is not a sadist, he would do it to screw with the original creator just to show he is better. He would though put his own mumbo jumbo for his own experiment, like remove the ability to be unable to sleep until you die from sleep exhaustion and make you a slave to his sleeping consciousness, or the ears and tail pill he would make you an anime extra backup dancer to his new single; "how to score puss in boob world"

How the hell would Jeff Bezos succeed in a Librarian system? He has had the US government given his business tax breaks, subsidies for its work force and duties on foreign companies to bar competition. No this is not a librarian society, he operates in a protectionist society where he has already beaten any competition inside the country and the US government wants to protect "American" companies against foreign ones. Let's not lie, Amazon has brought a lot of conveniences, but it came at a cost and now it can buy any competition in the US before it can challenge it or lobby government before any foreign competition can become dominant. So continue to vote for presidents who vote to keep your job safe, makes it so much easier for them to exploit you
