@Nimbius666 I don't want to cheerlead for NASA (def not Boeing/SpaceX who exceptionally suck), every US astronaut death happened before the CMS flew people.

If you only count the time when both the CMS & NASA have been operating, neither have lost any people.

CMS has benefited from lessons from US and Russian/Soviet deaths. If the CMS had to learn these lessons from scratch they likely would have lost people. And apples to apples, all three are running 0 deaths in the time they've all existed.

@Nimbius666 The spacex/boeing commercial pressures are of course exceptionally unsuited to safe development, and historical (space race era) safety also sucked, again because there were adverse incentives, but I don't know that CMS has some unique edge.

This is it, we've peaked

Waiting until the last day to announce your support for an election considered to be a foregone conclusion.

What transparent mercenaries.

The silver lining to global warming is that we're not actually going to destroy the world.

We're 200 years into a genuinely tragic mass extinction event of our own making and we'll be just one victim.

But we've had a bunch of mass extinction events and the planet will soldier on quite happily without us, with wonderful new species coming to inhabit whatever our corpses watch over.

I have been reliably informed that this is in fact bradycardia and you can actually relax yourself to death.

Is it possible to just relax hard enough to die?

Certain ironic aesthetic

@lanodan does it matter if one of the main orgs contributing to it do NDA'd work for Arundil?

@lanodan honestly, this isn't me trying to line up a dunk on anyway, I sincerely don't understand the issue. I read the open letter as well.

I really don't get the NixOS/Anduril thing. Lots of complaints about arms dealers, and I'm not a fan of Thiel, don't get me wrong.

My understanding is that NixOS is free software, so Anduril aren't prohibited from using it, right?

If they are using it, why wouldn't you accept their contributions back upstream if they are useful?

Wouldn't we me more mad if they were using it and keeping all the changes to themselves?
