I don't know the exact variant but the F16s have/had a 6 barrel 20mm canon which fires about 100 shells per second. That's a bit more than a few rounds from small arms and more than plenty to destroy the 'target' aircraft. It possibly only took one or two hits to do that damage.

The master armament switch in the Phantom had not been taped in the ‘safe’ position and the pilot inadvertently rendered ‘live’ one of the two main safely switches. The pilot and navigator of the Phantom were court martialed and found guilty of offences of neglect.

Sorry, but this is just false.

In which way they are trying to put the italian people first? The abolition of Fornero (pension reform) will not solve any issue but will only cause more problem down the road, similarly for the re-branding of the "unemployment benefits" into "citizenship income".

I am afraid that Italy is both too big to fail but also too big to be saved.

They are not averse to some creative editing in order to dissociate themselves, though. On the 2011 launch: "Preparations were overseen by Flight Director Kristian von Bengtson from his station on MHV903 Hjortø and coordinated with Pad Lead Niels Foldager on Sputnik". Which is true, but they were equally overseen - and on the same vessel - by Peter Madsen, whom they deftly fail to mention.

I was a supporter at the time, but soon left, very much on account of Madsen. I must admit that his later exploits in retrospect quite irrationally have tainted the entire project for me, and I'm not going back.
I agree with you but maybe we're missing some facts? I don't know if Delta lied to me but the excuse they gave me one time or flight was delayed was that some lights in the cabin were not working so they have to do electrical inspection. They eventually gave us all alternative flight on American (after having us wait until 4 PM with an initial departure if 9AM).

Point is, we don't know if the planes were in flight ready state, do we? It could be something simple but I'd not risk my officer's life just to save a plane.

My apologies if the planes were indeed flight certified.

> I suppose if one holds the view that men and women are mentally identical on average, it would lead one to the conclusion that the gender disparity in diagnosis rates is due to social factors (or some kind of medical discrimination).

It might be easier to think about this on a different level of granularity. The problem has a self referential issue (requires social to evaluate social) if discrimination is the largest factor considered. Aggregate social factors over time yield discrimination - can't be corrected if the solution defines the problem.

Yesterday one of my friends said that the EU won't be anymore around 2040, 2050.

Sadly i was too drunk to ask why.

I don't think it would be the usual answer. Like credit, debt, economic fail etc.

He is a professor in cluster economics ( no idea how to translate that) basically he researched development of states, cities and clusters around certain thinks like how a city develops around a river or sea or what happens around a coal mine or easy cheap internet access (his last research)

So I kinda wonder now, why he thinks the EU won't exist after 2040/ 50..

Thanks for sharing, nice analysis.
Regarding manufacturing, I think that the expansion of the E.U. has been where Italy's jobs have been going.

I have worked with a few Italian companies over the years and been disappointed to find that the premium products are not really Italian. You can have very expensive shoes that have 'Made in Italy' written on them but then you find out that the uppers are made on the other side of the Adriatic in the former Yugoslavia. These uppers then get glued on to the soles in Italy to get the coveted label.

Other luxury leather goods have fallen to the same fate. This is a bit of a con for the consumer as they can spend up to $2000 on a handbag, which is okay if you really are paying for craftsmen in Milan to make an exclusive product, not so okay if the hard work is done elsewhere with cheap labour.

Cars are also an area of concern to me. The Fiat cars that people actually buy, e.g. the '500', are made in places such as Poland. These are not 'cheap cars for the masses', they are designer luxury goods with allegedly Italian style. This is not good for people who are loyal to the brand.

There are some aspects of business culture that do not help. I wish the whole Northern Hemisphere closed factories during August so everyone can have a holiday. However, in Anglo-whitey-world that does not happen. So if you are trying to source product for Autumn/Winter and need to get orders in then it can be a struggle working with Italian suppliers. You might as well order from competitors in the Far East that do not have these problems (and also do a better job of sizing shoes to people's feet, not the 'last' that the shoes are made on).

Money is also difficult in Italy. In ecommerce when you need to get payment providers working it feels like going back to 1970's Britain, when banks had special opening hours and everything had to be done in a branch rather than online or over the phone.

The consequence of all of the above is very bad for Italy in export markets. You can't get legit Italian product and even if you can then paying has these extra hurdles that make things extremely difficult.
Please cite the media outlet which has asserted that these aircraft have been damaged beyond economical repair.

From the article: “We anticipate the aircraft parked inside may be damaged as well, but we won't know the extent until our crews can safely enter those hangars and make an assessment,” the spokeswoman said.

Anecdotally, a former life once allowed me the privilege of directing flightline ops during several hurricane evacuations. This isn't anything new to me, and I've seen far worse than what this article (and others) have depicted--to include an entire squadron of F-15s engulfed in storm surge saltwater flooding up to their cockpits during Wilma, none of which resulted in airframe loss.

I would make it clear for other founders that their role in the pre-product startup is to

1) continuously (daily) interview potential customers BEFORE the MVP is ready (and document their findings) so that you as a team have clear understanding what customers actually need

2) ensure enough financing that the product and team can be build

3) help you in recruiting more developers

Understanding customers

I once did a startup in a similar setup (2 non-technical founders, me as a single technical founder) and the biggest mistake was 2 non-technical founders were waiting for MVP to be ready before they really started to approach customers. I tried to push them to do more customer interviews, but they looked it purely from sales perspective and thought we didn't yet have anything to sell. We effectively build the wrong thing that nobody wanted and they started to lose interest when they realized that the MVP doesn't sell on it's own without significant iteration.

Hiring

Also, although building MVP quickly is an important step so that you can start to collect better customer feedback in a search for product-market fit, remember that building a team is as critical. Even if you don't have money to hire engineers at this point, you need to start to build hiring pipeline early. It is very hard as a single developer to effectively take care of both bug fixing, devops and new feature development when you start to get customers.

It will solve the problem for people who are, right now, too old to stay at work. At least they're not saving pointless banks, aren't they? But, sure, it could be even worse for young people.

> re-branding of the "unemployment benefits" into "citizenship income".

Universal Basic Income is deemed necessary even by people like Elon Musk, do you know that? Sure, citizenship income won't work the same way. It's quite small in comparison with UBW.

What I agree is that, probably, Italy, like other countries, would need totally different and more drastic measures. It's hard to change things in a country where retired people earn large sums of money that they don't deserve (because they haven't saved for that).

But, I don't trust the markets, the finance sector or the economic system to change that; those "tools" are used by people who just want to extract the maximum rent, and they'll always use them to achieve that: extract the maximum rent. Unless we start aiming at a different target, which could be "a fair distribution of basic wealth and income", we won't reach a different outcome.

All of that, IMHO.

Except that this is simply not true, the head of the european comission is elected through the EU parlement, and the rest is appointed by the council of ministers. (which are appointed by the national elections of each member state).

People should stop comparing the EU to any other national system, because it is inherently an supranational and intergovermental system.
No need to be snarky. Most media reporting on that crisis was histerical rhetoric about "lazy Greeks who won't pay their debts" -- a narrative enabled by North-European politicians like Schäuble and Dijsselbloem to cover their actions. A lot of well-meaning people fell into that propaganda trap.

In the UK, voters elect MPs who choose the Cabinet.

In the EU, voters elect national governments who each appoint a member to the EU Commission. The EU Parliament also gets a say in the election of the Commission President.

Obviously it's a compromise because national governments don't want to give up their power. But it's not as undemocratic as is often claimed.
