This is what I call 'naive empiricism'; comparing random variables, one from mediocristan, the other from extremistan that is multiplicative, [that] has different dynamics, is to me a sin.
It is a mistake to generalise from the particular. It is a greater mistake to particularise from the general.

Speaking of safety, this is where the Falcon 9 rocket has really shone of late. Since the Amos-6 failure during its static fire test, SpaceX has completed a record-setting run of 111 successful Falcon 9 missions in a row. It probably will be 112 after Thursday.

It's still risky but not NASA level risky. That shit was fucked up.Space travel is highly dangerous and I don't think they present just how risky this stuff is the way NASA did.

I still feel nervous when watching a live manned flight. For people like me not trained in rocket science, Tim Dodd’s latest vid explaining how various rocket types work was fascinating: Warning: contains some minor Elon content.Speaking of safety, this is where the Falcon 9 rocket has really shone of late.
