"Except that refuting those views is precisely what they did"
You need to learn the difference between the words "refute" and "silence". You can't refute a person's ideas by silencing them. Such a tactic is blatantly authoritarian.
Facebook already does this every day. It makes sure people only see appealing ideas and opinions or things to get outraged about to keep eyeballs on the platform.
The entire point of panels is to have people with diverging views talk about a subject in a civil manner.
By eliminating people from a panel they disagree with, those whiners are tacitly admitting they can't refute the views or ideas of the people they disagree with.
What you wind up is a panel full of agreement, which is worthless.
There already is a negative repercussion. They're focusing on gender as if that's some kind of accomplishment instead of the skill of the crew members. Gender is irrelevant unless you have the unspoken assumption that they aren't equal.
Space is unforgiving. Gender is absolutely irrelevant compared to safety and skill. I'm sure both women are skilled at their jobs, but safety dictated they both can't walk at the same time (for now). If that's is upsetting, get over it.
"We're beyond any shadow of a doubt that we cannot trust *any* company with our data. People need to understand to use password managers instead of reusing passwords...."
So people should not trust *any* company with their data, but they should trust their passwords with a company?
That's incorrect. In the United States, even minor problems ground aircraft until they're at least looked at by a mechanic and tagged. Toilet broken? You don't fly. Air conditioner broken? You don't fly. ANY panel indicator light burnt out? You don't fly!
Almost crash into the ground, killing all passengers? YOU DON'T FUCKING FLY!!!
The fact that an aircraft that almost crashed because of a fault wasn't immediately grounded and instead was allowed to fly the next day IS ABSOLUTELY UNCONSCIONABLE!
If you don't trust or can't verify the practices of the VPN end-point provider, using their VPN is *WORSE* than not using it. You are funneling all your traffic to a convenient end point. People need to understand this.
In the United States, a runaway trim problem would have immediately grounded the aircraft. The 2nd (doomed) crew would have never taken off in that aircraft.
Either the last crew failed to log it correctly or that country's failure laws are absolutely insane.
Stopping motorists for speeding is "manpower heavy", but the police do it all the time. Fining people for distracted driving would be a literal gold mine for them and would do something to curb the problem in the first place. Much better than a sketchy, border-line legal system that snarfs data off of your phone after an accident.
Lights in metro areas are almost always timed so you make them *if you're going the speed limit*. Similarly, if you're *actually paying attention* to the signals, you can get by with the reflexes of an 80 year old man just fine.
If you haven't learned how to anticipate traffic by now, please for everyone else's safety, stop driving and call Uber.
It's unbelievable how many of you keep missing the mark.
I own a Subaru Forester. I value it for the reasonable cargo capacity and AWD system. The ICE engine gives me the range I need. Perhaps individual uses requiring the range or AWD are only 1-2% of the time, but cumulatively they add up.
I go places where forest service roads are common and infrastructure is non-existent.
Sometimes I strap big items like canoes to the top. This would destroy the range of an EV.
Sometimes I take multi-state trips and build the route according to scenery - this is neigh impossible with current EV charging infrastructure.
Sometimes it snows around here and the AWD gets me to work when other's can't make it.
Sometimes I carry loads of firewood in the back with the seats down.
I'd love an EV for the daily commute to work, but would leave me with no reasonable way to deal with the "fringe" needs w/o a huge amount of hassle. I can't rent a car for the days when the snow is 8" deep. I don't know when the good weather is until within a few days. I can't get extra range out of an EV like I can the ICE car with a cheap Jerry can.
I simply don't want two cars, it makes no sense for a single person.
From what I can tell, EVs make plenty of sense for people who live in a horrible rut where they don't go anywhere but work or their local mall every day.

Or just imagine having hot sex with one of the flight attendants. Just be sure to keep a hat in your lap...
"Who the hell writes something like that with a straight face? "
Marketing departments. Most have a two drink minimum...

"So what's the long term plan to store the heavy metals and the byproducts from solar panel production?
Those byproducts don't exist, moron."
Perhaps you should bother to educate yourself before spouting off like a fool.

"Nah, this is the paradox of tolerance. In order to preserve freedom, we can't tolerate people who are intolerant of certain things."
Exactly! We can't tolerate people who are intolerant of free speech.

America needs to re-establish her ownership of the Moon.
Does this mean there will be adequate funding and an absence of political meddling?

PR stunts have zero value compared to this.
