What about this one: WorldViews MH370 experts think they’ve finally solved the mystery of the doomed Malaysia Airlines flight.

Summary:

“The thing that gets discussed the most is that at the point where the pilot turned the transponder off, that he depressurized the airplane, which would disable the passengers,” said Larry Vance, a veteran aircraft investigator from Canada. “He was killing himself. Unfortunately, he was killing everyone else onboard. And he did it deliberately.”

It would be great if you gave an honest answer not this prepared PR talk. 90% of what you wrote reads as a sales pitch.

It seems that atrocities were still committed by 1900ies, check this letter of Dutch officer in the Indonesia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendrikus_Colijn#Military_service

I did give orders to gather a group of 9 women and 3 children who asked for mercy and they were shot all together.

The honest truth is that technology as a side effect causes un- or underemployment, this is a fact. Current technological revolution is not just the next industrial revolution for many reasons, some are summed up in this video. Now I am not against technology, I myself work in IT, but we need to look right in the face of the looming existential crisis and AI is at the forefront of it. If your product improves the productivity of office assistants by 100%, the half of them will be fired. It won't happen instantaneously, but it may happen very fast.

My question is are you willing to frankly discuss and look into negative effects of the technology and how we as a society can mitigate them?

Does Ikea have fans?

I am. You can check my post history, I am a legit redditor. I am cheapass, pragmatical and I hate decorating the house. I recently bought an apartment and entirely furnished it with Ikea for a very reasonable price. Where I live there are little alternatives in the same market segment, and I love how everything is fucking straightforward in Ikea and how easy it is to mix and match items. I still spend shitton of time on this, I can't even imagine going to different stores, comparing, figuring stuff out, the moving and furnishing was such a nightmare for me.

PS: I don't care about Ikea squad.
