BallShapedMan, to showerthoughts in With two Boeing whistleblowers dead in one month, either Boeing is actively killing them, or there are enough whistleblowers that this rate of death is not statistically significant

Don’t be fooled by randomness. Randomness comes in clumps. For example if you flipped a thousand coins every day for a year and measured how each one predicted the stock market, heads for up, tails for down, at the end of the year you’ll likely have one coin that far out performs the average. But would you use that coin to determine your investment strategy the next year?

And yeah Boeing is now killing people outside of their planes.

This is my best guess without googling it or her.

Option 3 is the only one that will change anything. Just saying.

I’m nostalgic for the day when Google was the good company. A few years before “alphabet” you could see the change coming and since “alphabet” they are worse every year.

Anyone start a pool on when the first news story of abusing this tech will happen? Because I want in lol.

BallShapedMan, to asklemmy in What is an interesting fact that you recently discovered?
@BallShapedMan@lemmy.world avatar

Traffic (the book) says most Americans merge into traffic wrong when lanes reduce (from say 3 lanes to 2 lanes for example.)

The right way is waiting until you are at the very end of the lane that’s reducing. When that happens up to 60% more cars per hour get through the bottle neck in heavy traffic and accidents resulting in killed or serious injury are reduced by up to 80%.

Bottom line having multiple entry points in a queue with multiple slow down points due to the multiple entry points is the cause of the reduced performance with the way most Americans do it.

Last year it took 6 months to get water to stop leaking in my office, so yeah I’m just excited the note is charming…

Between War Thunder and Eve Online I have no idea which game I’ve never played has given me more entertainment? This is fantastic!

Pretty sure that’s the lens flares.

BallShapedMan, to asklemmy in What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world?

This is the way.

BallShapedMan, to asklemmy in What was this year's dinner argument?
@BallShapedMan@lemmy.world avatar

My kid argued with me about what one sixteenth of a pie looked like when he was serving me. He tried to give me one eighth and I was already full!

BallShapedMan, to showerthoughts in Maybe we are late in the universe, perhaps universe used to be a lively and vibrant place homing millions of civilizations. Now, we stand as the last remnants, hence, possibly the most advanced.
@BallShapedMan@lemmy.world avatar

Yup, all the evidence scientists point to agree that if anything we are early to the party.

If it has USB C and a 10x optical zoom I’m almost guaranteed to swap from Android to Apple finally. Google’s BS around making ads part of DRM or whatever was the last straw.
