Yeah, it's a steaming pile of garbage, with 10% coming from friends and 90% being suggested s**t from random pages that I have no prior association with. At this point, I'm operating under the assumption that most of the remaining users are bots, and that they're doing this because there's zero actual organic user engagement. Eventually, the advertisers will realize that their ad dollars are being wasted, and it will be a self-correcting problem as the whole thing goes belly up.

Why are you assuming he made the decision? He announced the decision but remember he is Vice President, not President, not COO, and not CEO of Intel.

In an interview after the disaster, Cameron said he was at first intrigued by what OceanGate was doing. He was not outright opposed to the idea of using carbon fiber for the hull as he thought OceanGate might be doing some new and novel with carbon fiber like a new fabrication process or a composite. When he learned it was regular carbon fiber, he like many others were worried that people would die.

Ironically OceanGate added to the research data. How many dives will a carbon fiber hull last before imploding? OceanGate has the answer.

So you knew that Rush tried to get an accountant with no submersible experience to pilot the sub? You knew the legal lengths Rush went to destroy Lochridge for raising safety concerns? You knew that scale models of the second hull failed tests but OceanGate built the hull anyways? You knew how many people were fired or quit the company over safety concerns?

The submersible industry is not against using carbon fiber unlike what Rush portrayed. It is not for used pressurized applications like the hull. I think it was Cameron that said carbon fiber is used for things like covers and external support brackets for cameras and sensors.

Also the application was meant for an airplane? This it was meant to keep pressure in not keep pressure out.

One of the things that drove Rush's arrogance was he thought he proved everyone wrong about carbon fiber. In reality, he did not understand the situation. What he heard from the community that "Carbon fiber would never work." And he made multiple dives in a carbon fiber hull. What was actually said was "Carbon fiber will not work because it would not last.”

I am unaware that the Coast Guard has any submarines and thus it is highly unlikely that any retired admiral would be familiar with their operation much less the manufacture of one using carbon fiber.

If you watched the documentary, those two things would not have mattered. The hull was audibly weakening with each dive. One hull already developed cracks. They just made another hull without changing any thing.

From what I have learned elsewhere, OceanGate was not the first company to make a carbon fiber hull. DeepFlight Challenger was originally made for businessman Steve Fossett. After he died in a plane crash, the project was put on hold. Virgin Oceanic later bought the submersible in 2011 for five dive project. After tests determined the hull was suitable for only one dive, Virgin Oceanic cancelled the project in 2014. This was 2 years before OceanGate started to make their carbon fiber hull.

No, Trump says it is made in the USA. And Trump has never lied, right? Considering the Trump Organization is not an electronics manufacturing company, they did not manufacture this phone themselves. It had to be done by a third party. The only phones I know made in the USA are Purism. Their cheapest model is $999.

For now Apple's Messages are part of the Apple ecosystem. As long as Apple makes a ton of money in the ecosystem, for now Messages will not have ads. When that changes, we can expect ads.

Yes Apple bought PrimeSense who probably had multiple patents on 3D sensing. Like many companies that are purchased for their technology and patents rather than their products, PrimeSense no longer licenses their technology to anyone anymore. If PrimeSense sounds familiar, it was the technology behind the Kinect. This was probably the main reason the 2nd generation Kinect was not that much more advanced than the first generation as it was still on older licensed PrimeSense technology. Apple took PrimeSense tech and shrunk it down to make Face ID.

How would AI generated masks fool 3D facial scans? That require a 3D printed mask not a simple phone screen.
