Did you know that the largest engineering failure wasn’t Russia’s Chernobyl, it was Russia and China’s 1975 Banqiao Dam failure?

Likely over 200,000 killed by Mao Zedong’s rush to invigorate China’s economy. Whistleblower ignored.

The accident was suppressed for two decades.

Another slammed into a firetruck, this time killing its operator (driver?) on a highway. "At least 14 Teslas have into emergency vehicles while using self-driving systems," AP reports. Shouldn't be a basic principle in development? The would never allow this in air travel... why doesn't act to stop it on the ? npr.org/2023/02/20/1158367204/

Whenever I would feel that I did a bad work at some project, I will remember that LinkedIn does not allow to change the default profile language unless you delete and create your profiles in other languages again...
