Google was screwed from the moment the post-election video was released. Scott Adams on Periscope, who has worked in the upper management levels at both big banks and telecoms, pointed out that it would be unthinkable for the CEO of those to hold an 'all hand's on deck' meeting where the company's distaste for a specific election outcome would be announced and it would be openly stated that the company would make sure that a different outcome occurred next time. The speeches at that meeting showed that, while the company knew that they might have a few Trump supporters in their midst, their views were unwelcome. When Google dropped the 'Don't Be Evil' motto, who knew that they would take it so much to heart. We have a huge IT monopoly tweaking the information flows to the American public while in bed with the Chinese government to control their own population.
It would be interesting to know why this engine redundancy wasn't leveraged to save the center core of the Falcon Heavy when it attempted to land on the drone ship. They claim two of three engines failed to fire. If so, why wasn't the system programmed to automatically try to fire two alternate engines in that failure mode? Unless the failures where of a more catastrophic nature of course...
