It’s not just the lead you’d have to worry about. Commercial jets spew all kinds of nasty shit, and there’s also the significant amount of particulates in the air from the tires. It’s just not safe nor healthy to live that close to an airport, lead or no lead.
Also, I would absolutely not eat the produce from those farms, which according to TFA, they’re still producing and selling locally.
It reminds me of how tech companies are all scrambling to use AI. There was a funny article recently where the author pointed out that these companies are struggling to do very basic things, so the idea that they could somehow tackle AI in a way that’s useful and profitable is silly.
It’s crazy when you think about it. They picked up their lives, sold their homes in southern california, and moved to fucking central florida of all places. It’s such a massive, massive downgrade in every conceivable category to move from socal to central florida. Then to have the company that mandated this (probably under threat of termination) pull a bait-and-switch once the employees and their families had moved, I’d be lawyering up and suing too. I’d sue them to make me whole – put me back in the same neighborhood I left, in a same or better house (with the same or better loan amount and terms), and offset any losses (with interest) related to moving, my spouse’s loss of job and income, provide equivalent income and job placement for my spouse until they find an equal or better job, and guarantee my employment at current job and comp for the next 10 years (with a sparkling golden parachute if they terminate me earlier).
Get a pellet gun and shoot them down. You’ll find out quickly who is doing it when they trespass on your property to retrieve their downed hardware.
There is no hate like Christian love.
If you attack it head on you have a very short window of opportunity before it’s past you
So, you have to be accurate. Like we’ve been doing for hundreds of years with projectiles, even non-guided ones. Check.
if you try from the side you’ll have to be really really good at geometry
So… good like as in a computer doing the math? Check.
And that thing won’t go in a straight line while it’s in enemy range.
Bad news friend, they can’t turn for shit due to ground effect, and they can’t ascend or descend either. There’s a reason these things were immediately abandoned as a viable concept after only 3 years in operation and without seeing any combat.
Sure, in a dead heat and as long as there aren’t any big waves. Also, you do realize that it’s possible to attack this thing from other directions than directly behind it while it’s at full speed, right?
I would guess that it would survive about as long as it would take a $200 fpv drone to collide with one of the engine arrays. Then nautical drones would do their thing to turn it into an artificial reef.
They know. But that sort of work environment takes planning, good leadership, and broader company values than just short-term profit. So it’s far easier and cheaper to throw you the occasional pizza party, company T-shirt, and 10% off mental health services.
What do you mean “not quite”? Those shares were part of his compensation / pay. OP is exactly right – tech executive gets paid millions regardless of actual performance (in this case very poor performance that likely resulted in him being shown the door). Meanwhile, there are folks in this country who can’t afford shelter or a meal.
Next time Spotify should hire a homeless person as CFO for half as much as the ousted CFO. Same job performance results, but they’d save millions and actually do some good in the process.
Yep. Drill down one level in a few control panel items and you’re back in win xp.
So you literally no nothing

That’s the joke. Nearly every proposed implementation of AI isn’t actually solving a real business or tech problem. It’s just the next snake oil, like block chain, quantum computing, etc. There are real, valid use cases for all of those things. But most companies have no idea what they really are, how they might help, and even if they could help, what it would take to implement to see real results.
