/sci/ - Science & Math

Most of nasa is entertainment. Literally just flexing usa science and tech for the public to gawk at. They literally do nothing of much value except get kids excited about science and give smart people jobs.

>>12724532
NASA is useful for military and telecommunications purposes, and they also do some nice work on robotics and other fields.

>>12724719
Those things would have happened even if we didnt go to the moon or have an iss, or do many of the inordinately expensie and useless things nasa has done.

The military and communications industry arent just going to not do things in space because there isnt some national space agency.

Science is now about getting social credit rather than demanding intellectual work.

Isn't that exactly what liars would say?

>>12725094
What's holding back humanity is that we don't empower women especially in STEM. How can a woman feel empowered if she is not believed when she speaks her truth?

*raughs*

This one is tragically comical.

>>12725171
No way. The yoke is coming off and Africa will rise to lead humanity to a better place in the stars.

>>12725200
Not only is it real but they're getting away with using NASA's name in the ad campaign because NASA is too scared to look like they're picking on a girl who dreams of being the first person on Mars. She's been using NASA's name and logos for years and they can't do anything about it. Now's she's letting companies like Olay do it too.

>"future astronaut" jfc
There's a bunch of girls who are now calling themselves this based on attending Space Camp, which isn't a training program, it's a space themed summer camp with Space Shuttle simulators. When I was in elementary school, I also pretended to be an astronaut but by junior high I understood that if I wanted to be one that I'd have to do a lot of work and not simply declare myself to be one. When you have young women getting into their 20s still taking photos with toy space helmets, it's kind of pathetic. Note this helmet matches >>12725038

>>12724475
fur shit too. lamo.

>>12725529
As far as I can tell POSSUM is a high altitude balloon whose primary purpose is to sell "I'm an astronaut" certificates and patches.

>>12725238
Why the fuck does she want to go to mars so bad.

>>12725246
These brave warriors would likely be in serious mental distress within weeks or even days of leaving urf, and they'd be facing the prospect of this mental torture continuing for years on end with no escape. Likely a harrowing experience even for the very toughest and best prepared. It's completely irresponsible for NASA to be pushing this utter bullshit. What the fuck are they playing at? These idiots would neglect themselves to death or just outright neck themselves.

>>12725624
She doesn't. She wants the attention that comes from telling everyone she's going to be the first person on Mars. She already dropped out of one university because it was too difficult. These people are cargo cultists. They want all of the admiration from an accomplishment but have no interest in the actual work and sacrifice involved.

>>12725648
>It's completely irresponsible for NASA to be pushing this utter bullshit. What the fuck are they playing at?
NASA is mostly a political entity now. Science is not central to their mission anymore.

>>12725038
so how does an 18 year old girl get chosen by nasa for astronaut training with no prior experience and the rest of us have to be test pilots for 10 years without dying to even get a crumb of pussy from nasa

>>12725706
What a disappointment NASA must be for those who grow up with working there as their goal only to get there and find out its rotten to the core with virtue signaling and busy work.

>>12724990
Looks like it's time to dump IBM stock

>>12725712
She doesn't. Her only association with NASA is having attended various space camps. Her and her father have been playing word games to get the media to make the mistake of calling her a NASA astronaut, which they almost all do. Anyone who actually contacts NASA finds out that she's not in any of their programs.

>>12725733
Jesus that really sums it up. If this is not rooted out soon we are deservedly finished

>>12725741
Looks a lot like about five year ago when Intel went all in on "diversity is our strength" and "Girls first" and now is getting their asses kicked by AMD, lead by a woman.

>>12725733
even the best organizations follow the innovative start up to crumbling bureaucracy life cycle. when a successful organization starts it's because it gathered enough innovative and novel thinkers capable of getting an idea to fruition. once success is cemented it's just about doing pr and busy work bs so the administrator types take over and kill whatever it stood for from within. innovators don't care to do that busy work nonsense and thus they leave a vacuum that is taken over by these unaspiring and incapable wretches.

>>12725763
wow it's almost like letting a qualified woman do her job rather than shoving unqualified people for a diversity quota is more beneficial for a company's integrity, weird
also weird that in 99 percent of cases the qualified people doing the dirty work are white and asian males

>>12725763
Albeit a fairly androgynous looking woman - as tends to be the case with the genuinely smart ones in STEM terms. They're smarter because they're more masculine.

>>12725733
r8ed

>>12725787
Yes, plenty of examples of that happening. The problem is when such an organization uses its size to squash any new innovative entity that might be a threat to the well being of the incumbent's bureaucracy. In the case of NASA, they have the power of the government behind them. Now that the commercial space program is showing promise and people are starting to ask why can't NASA do similar things, the government is looking to tamper with commercial operations.

>>12724990
This kind of tokenism is far more insulting than anything a white supremacist could actually come up with. I don’t know how these people sleep at night

I'm in the industry and it's filled with Women in STEM/Space/Tech profiteers. All that diversity and inclusion and equity nonsense is making it a difficult environment. The real female engineers and scientists just do their work and good buddies. But those impostors do nothing but bitch and moan. The best is the language policing (crewed spaceflight, not manned etc.) and constant whining about toxic masculinity that keeps "us girls" out.

>>12725689
This. There's a substantial market for that fiction unfortunately.

>>12725842
>Siblings look similar to each other.
How amazing!

>>12725881
it was never about "fighting racism", it was always a means of sowing divisions and causing tensions as a means of union busting, policy control, keeping "underlings" in line through fear, etc. amazon for instance tracks "diversity" because the risk of unionization increases with low diversity. likely something to to do with innate human tribalism (not saying it's a good thing). in any event all this sjwshit is bureaucrats utilizing ethnic and sexual tensions to reign in the work force to their knees.
https://observer.com/2020/04/amazon-whole-foods-anti-union-technology-heat-map/

>>12725888
Which makes life difficult for the skilled women who got into the field because of legitimate interest in it instead of having a social justice axe to grind. It both undermines their credibility and creates tension between them and their male colleagues where it previously didn't exist. Unfortunately some are misguided into thinking its a net positive for them instead of understanding that the opportunists are going to be the ones getting all of the resources and acclaim while they wither anonymously in the background, trotted out once in a while for a group photo op.
That Space Camp girl has a TEDx talk (probably her parents paid for access) and holy cow are the comments all cringe. Everyone buys her trash uncritically.

>>12725871
This is the best I can do for you creepy dude.

>>12724475
It's because people in "authority" positions like administrators who run these diversity programs have to come up with SOMETHING to justify their salary.
But since they are all retards, everything they come up with is so laughable that even children can see through it.

>>12725935
>creates tension between them and their male colleagues
Luckily I found that at least in the cases I was/am involved it doesn't occur. The real ones prove themselves rather fast (know what they talk about, do the right stuff, know when they're wrong or have to ask) and are welcomed.
>TEDx
Those are among the worst. Especially when "TEDx Speaker" is part of their professional profile. Next to "Women in Space advocate" or "caring about inclusion" etc.

>>12725955
Too bad none of these programs are tracked, with a control group and rational metrics recorded. It's money thrown into a black hole with no care if anything comes of it.

>The real ones prove themselves rather fast
That's been my experience for the most part but every once in a while I've come across a competent woman who sees the diversity scam as a useful tool for advancing herself even further. They're disappointing because they know better and know they're creating harm but still go through with it anyway because of the personal benefit they get.

>>12725923
Ok q forsure.

Ps. Ever been to /pol/ they are seriously woke af over there

This shit makes my fucking blood boil being black(technically a halfu mutt but no one cares based off of external appearance anyway). It's gotten to the point I avoid having pictures up or anything online so that when I apply to work they just think I'm a white guy when screening or interviewing on the phone because everyone has universally deemed whoever doesn't have the complexion of chalk to be a diversity hire because a handful of hoteps and SJW asshats had to ruin it for everyone, which pisses me off when I busted my ass to get where I'm at and was top of my class(Not that software development is really that big brain in most cases anyway, but most people that try it do still fail hard). Affirmative action was fucking bad enough about this shit. All this race shit wasn't even a thing until recent years I fucking hate progressives. It's bad enough being in an industry absolutely flooded with them

>>12725997
>if it weren't for the legal and HR consequences
There are real (mission-relevant) consequences though. That's why I watch their work. They speak at conferences or are placed on expert panels and influence or even decide STEM policy/program decisions. They have support networks that will attack you for criticizing their advice/proposals.
When they're involved with (scientific) payload teams, they don't necessarily harm the experiments themselves (they don't contribute), but they create drama and I've seen projects blow up or delayed over it.

>>12726026
i guess it was to be expected that we'd reach this point. minorities and women started pushing these memes but giving them the jobs, money, and power they wanted wouldn't stop them from pushing these memes of course, and the more jobs, money, and power they have the louder they can be with their memes. So now despite the situation being "better" than ever if you only care about percentage of each race/gender in every field of life (so much for being colorblind) they are also louder than ever about it.

>>12725999
qtardation is an obvious glowwie psyop made to further the association fallacy of retarded conspiracy theorists who think 5g causes sarscov2 infections with dissidents who realize what a trap of a society we're in. the thing is given the wealth inequality where 1% control >90% of the wealth and practically all the infrastructure which includes the flow of information, employment, govt, etc you have to be pretty dumb to think this society isn't controlled. you ever seen what policy adoption looks like? 30% probability regardless of proportion of support. only when the elites are considered does the probability of adoption match the proportionality of support. but that doesn't matter as they also control the skinner boxes the retard and midwit normies use to "inform" themselves so the elites can make the public support anything they want anyway and the public will think it was their own idea.

>>12726035
hnng why are all these autists so hot

>>12726048
> minorities and women
It's 90% women, and most of them are white. Your average 'minority' doesn't give two shits about any of this unless they're one of those ratchet types just trying to cash in on the zealotry of bored college white girls. Men, even 'minority' men, still have a societal expectation to take care of themselves and work for a living and get next to no help with anything unless it somehow benefits a woman.

>>12726026
Clarence Thomas feels your pain. That experience what turned him into the man he is today. It seems new because it's been amped up several orders of magnitude lately but the paternalism of the left towards minorities has been going on for a long time. It was easier to avoid in the tech world until recently but in areas like law it has been going on since at least the 1960s.

That's how we genuine autists roll. Didn't you know?

Google and other tech companies who loaded up on 'AI Ethics' experts are getting burnt by this.

Consulting firms like Accenture are primarily money laundering schemes anyway. It makes sense they'd want to sponsor a fellow fraud.

>>12726149
It's the entirety of the west. J.K. Rowling is a bonger, not American. In fact the US is probably on the more shallow end of it due to the extraordinary difficulty to have any one specific culture as a monolith in the US. Part of the reason it's become such a drama circuit here in the US is actually because of that; It has to be FORCED which is much easier to do in smaller, more homogenous nations like in Europe. In the US, it took the systematic take over of several industries and public sectors over a long span of time to even get the wheels turning on this shit, because the US doesn't HAVE any specific 'culture' to supplant, the US is an amalgamation of wildly different cultures and regional histories duct taped together by a federal beaurocracy and, since the 1860's, made to play nice with one another under a thinly veiled threat of federal retribution.

There's a reason all this woke shit seems almost entirely centralized in a few urban centers on the coasts; It is.

So, what you're saying is diversity is America's strength.

>>12726238
It's a (Maoist) march through the institutions. And it started in the US in the 1970s or so. Most of the woke stuff came from American intellectuals inside and outside academia. It grew in academia (humanities and expanded from there), branched out to education, the media, corporate HR, think tanks, civil service etc. And thanks to the Internet and global NGOs it synchronizes with (Western) Europe within a day now, where the same process happened.
It aimed for cultural hegemony and now has won it to large parts.

>>12726422
There are more interests with much to lose against him than in his favor. Did you ever follow the legal and political difficulties he and SpaceX go through? Democrats (who effectively run the agencies, from the FAA to all those in the background whose okay he needs) and leftists in general aren't his best friends (despite him trying to appeal to their green ideas, but they distrust private initiatives, esp. when they make NASA look wasteful and slow). "Old space" isn't his friend either, but they're well-connected.

Human spaceflight is and remains political for the time being. Politics will have a say. And they have the means to enforce it to a large degree.

Chuds always miss the point, i swear to god. Diversity quotas exist so that anyone's able to see that wanting a job at NASA, whatever your age, sex or race is, isn't foolish, and actually attainable through hard work, as said factors should be mostly irrelevant.

>>12725881
I've been saying this since I was a child. it's incredibly condescending. When you demand the government to adopt affirmative action (and similar "inclusive" policies) the tacit implication is that you are acknowledging blacks as inferior, and unable to compete successfully without outside intervention. It's also incredibly unfair. It’s unfair to the qualified workers who end up with less competent coworkers. It’s unfair to the employers who are compelled to hire less competent candidates. It’s unfair to other applicants when there is a limited number of available positions, and someone with worse qualifications got hired solely based on their race. It's unfair to someone of a "disadvantaged" group who achieved a position on their own merit and effort when someone who is less qualified gets the same position because their skin is the same color. It is also de facto racism.

An alternative, and more elegant solution would be to leave race out of the hiring/selection process. Keep it anonymous, names are replaced with numbers, interviewing could be done behind a screen or something. If you still end up with a mostly homogenous group, maybe there’s other factors to consider, and we should investigate it without hand-waving and crying "systemic racism".

It turns out some people have argued that anonymous hiring practices are still racist, because if hired on merit alone, blacks (and other "disadvantaged" groups) will be hired less often. An argument like this can only be interpreted as an admission of black inferiority. Furthermore, it fails to explain how other disadvantaged groups (first generation Asian migrants, for example) manage to thrive in the face of similar circumstances.

Good people with a passion for a subject sniff fakes out.
Perhaps not always in the first hours if the fakes throw around terminology, engage in name dropping, or make crazy but hard to immediately disprove claims. And when they come with (engineered) social proof it makes it a bit harder in the beginning too.
Most fakes are so shallow that they're obvious after a few minutes. The rest nerd out in promoting themselves, they know how to make the right noises and send the right signals for a while and move on to the next "expertise" before it becomes clear.

Riva is a nice one, though she's a mixed case. She really is passionate about specific topics (and is successful in some) and knows how to be at the right places at the right times. For Intel she's more of a pretty face as I'd say that stuff is outside her expertise (while being interested in it). On her Twitter one can see (or saw, I just find that something's not working) how she dips into specific topics, makes bold statements, laughs about it because she thinks most seriousness is fake or arbitrary anyway.

No worries. I was a dumb idealistic leftist fresh out of college when I bought my condo in the center of Atlanta. I spent years being a dumb activist in my spare time. The cognitive load required to keep making excuses for the people who either hated me or saw me as a resource to be exploited kept getting greater. Eventually I couldn't keep lying to myself. Once I started seeing their world for what it really was and how it was never going to go anywhere positive, I sold my condo and moved. Being there in the first place was my stupid decision, no need to feel bad for me. I was simply young and stupid.

NASDAQ is threatening to delist any company without enough diversity. That's a huge tell that the powers that be know the focus on diversity instead of ability is hurting companies. If some companies are allowed to focus on ability instead of diversity, they can outcompete the diversity heavy companies. That cannot be allowed so now everyone will be forced to "compete on an equal playing field" by being required to add women and racial minorities that the companies otherwise wouldn't have hired.

>>12731897
I don't know what shithole you are from but in the West, women have enjoyed equal rights since the 1920s-1950s.
They are not oppressed or limited in any way.

https://youtu.be/n1tFbZ5kaY8

I am old enough to remember there was true equality in the 1990s, SJWs were a tiny fringe group that was mocked on TV, and there were no serious grievances from neither women nor minorities.

Culture wars have been 100% manufactured by foreign agents, weaponized by social media and manifactured outrage and division with goals that are not related to equality.

About that. Companies should be delisted if they don't pay their foreign workers the American federal minimum wage.

What would be the effect of NASDAQ delisting a huge swathe of the largest companies? It seems to me that such an action would give a little blip of hurt to the companies as it would disrupt trading in those stocks, but in the slightly longer run it would mean NASDAQ becoming irrelevant and a new exchange would be set up and quickly outcompete it.

>>12731965
it's better thought of as some kind of neo-feudalism that takes the worst elements from capitalism and socialism. the market is so heavily regulated by the government which is practically run by a few private individuals to the point they are nobility. so the state controls the economy which is in turn controlled by the elites.

This is Margaret Hamilton, director of the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, which developed on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo program.

NYSE can't look less progressive than NASDAQ. Do you know who pic related is? She owns a WNBA team and up until a month ago she was one of Georgia's senators in Congress. Her husband is CEO the NYSE, along with 11 other exchanges around the world. No way they let scrappy NASDAQ out virtue signal them.
A company leaving NASDAQ over the new requirements would be spun in the press a being a company full of white supremacist sexists who refuse to hire anyone but white males. It would be suicide for the company.

>>12731975
Sorry, we're talking about diversity hires in jobs they're not qualified to hold. We're not talking about women like her or Grace Hopper who actually know what the fuck they're doing.

>>12731968
It wouldn't be a blip, it would be a massive collapse in the stock price for the affected company as institutional investors withdrew billions of dollars.

Institutional investors (ie. Pension funds) invest on low-risk portfolios and often the adjustment mechanisms are automatic. A company getting delisted on the NASDAQ would instantly mean that company no longer qualifying for that minimum-risk portfolio and thus the pension fund managers no longer being allowed to hold stock in it. In effect becomes a self-fulfilling profecy as investors withdraw to minimize risk, the stock tanks even further.

>>12731975
So you mean someone who actually did something and who wasn't a larper?
Credit where credit is due. No one's saying women can't do this.
Most the time what they can do exists as fantasy without any actual dedication unless everyone claps

So companies would have to decide between tanking because they were deisted, or tanking because they filled the board with women and non-whites.

Also as a female fuck females that capitalize on this system. Either you get an opportunity for crying “oppressed” or you use your gender as an advantage and live life on easy mode. I wish talent and knowledge mattered. Hard work and genuine interest. It ruins it for everyone. What’s the point of working my ass off when my other girl friends either have a bf doing their online hiring exams for them, referrals and easy interviews, and could care less about their domain? Disincentivizes hard work when you see everyone abusing the system. It puts pressure on girls who’ve wanted to do it with their own effort. No women conferences, no grace hopper job fair, just my skills alone. It makes it so those who don’t participate in this SJW fuckery become disadvantaged. I hate this world.

She was more of a project manager than a programmer. If she never existed, someone else would have filled her role easy enough. That said, by all accounts she was a competent leader and the output from her department was good. The stack of paper she is standing next to is a printout of the documentation for the project. Activists often lie and say that it's a printout of the source code written by her. The documentation certainly would include the source code but it's only a small portion of the printouts and was done by her whole team, not by her exclusively.

She later developed and commercialized a system design methodology and code-generating program based on her (and others) work at the Apollo program.

>>12732306
I'm not trying to diminish her ability or accomplishments, I was pointing out that other capable people existed. There were only a few people in the space program who were irreplaceable and she was not one of them. The problem with activists is they claim that if a member of minority group x or minority group y wasn't around that the whole program would have fallen apart. That's poppycock and destroys their credibility. Every single astronaut was replaceable. Every member of Hamilton's team, including her, were replaceable. Every member of the calculations staff was replaceable. Only a few people such as von Braun weren't easily replaceable. That doesn't mean the rest of the people in the program were unimportant or unaccomplished, just that they can't be called irreplaceable like the activists would have you believe.

The "woke" crowd has a lot of power relative to their actual support. SJWs control most of academia, media, Hollywood, social media, etc which gives people the impression that only fringe Nazis disagree with SJWs. This causes NASA and other organizations to over-estimate how popular the SJW mindset is and they over-pander.

I'm not even a /pol/aroid and I hate this SJW shit with a passion. It undermines true equality of opportunity and it will result in a backlash.

For things that are little more than jobs programs, might as well spread the wealth around to all groups. Problem is that not everything is NASA. There is actual science that needs to be accomplished. Favoring diversity over merit gets in the way of scientific progress. Maybe we need two of everything, one merit based and the other parasite based. Let the parasite have their free meal as long as they stay out of the way of the people getting work done.

The woke shit is entirely US and Anglo made. In non English countries there is near zero discussion of these woke topics and talking points that don't involve concepts that are taken untranslated or make no sense outside a US/Anglo context.

Gendering for example. My language for example has genders for everything and they don't correspond with sex. Yet stupid, americanized uni departments force us to spend millions to rename student associations to studying associations, because students doesn't include studentesses, apparently.

So please, start the inevitable US civil war already and stop your cancerous US influence over human nations.

>There's a reason all this woke shit seems almost entirely centralized in a few urban centers on the coasts; It is.
"Centralized" to where 2/3 of the population lives.

Then where is the old, overweight guy with a wife beater?

>Note this helmet matches
I don't know what to say. This is so pathetic on multiple levels I can't..

Your country could grow a backbone and stop being so pathetic. Why are you so weak that you give in to everything?

I really dislike this in-your-face fangirl stuff. What's kind of novel is that those people now are treated as valid and serious and calling them out for being fake is now considered hate speech.

I hope they actually give her this helmet on a mission if she would ever go to mars

That haircut is literally

This shit is pissing me off rn. I'm an engineering student about to graduate, looking for a job rn. All of my female peers already have jobs locked down, and there is no possible way they're ALL more qualified than me or the multitude of other male classmates that don't have jobs

Why not just say you’re a woman? In today’s PC world you don’t even have to change your appearance. You could be exactly the same just mention you’re a female and there you go.

What are they woke from?
Wasn't this term used by /pol/ nazis to describe those who realized things they were not supposed to notice?

>>12752060
The term "woke" has been stolen by liberals and generally means "blue pilled" nowadays

>>12752066
Why don't nazis use it anymore? At least in their meaning that term makes some sense. Also it will be hilarious when those somnambulas find out about the other meaning of their label.

Teenage girls are expected to be out of touch with reality. It's the enablers who promote their narcissistic personalities as being a great advancement for humanity that are the real problem.

SpaceX is a warhead delivery company masquerading as an epic Mars mission company, and making money as an arms dealer is the easiest shit in the world.

>give smart people jobs.
Those times are long over. I know two people who work there.

>>12752459
Teenagers in general are out of teach with reality.
It all comes with the hormones, the inexperience, and the growing up.

But you're right about the enablers.
