To be clear, it's "Built almost entirely by women, men refused to fly it citing safety concerns [about the engines catching fire]." and not "...men refused to fly it citing safety concerns [because it was built by women]."
Well I have seen A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits here quite a few times, but I suspect this post will get far less engagement.
Another version of the idea is still around:
It doesn't appear to be in normal operation, but it has been tested:
Looking at https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11733696/ it seems like the base rate was 0.04 per 100,000. So ~70 female deaths per year in a population the size of the USA. That link suggests the mortality rate was reduced by a factor of 2-4, so vaccinating 2 million (?) girls per year saves 30-50 lives.
Some back-of-the-napkin math puts the price tag per life saved in the 8 digit range.
It's already solved (by humans) for Java, which can now be used for HFT. It seems like it's possible to do for C#.
Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program is a horrible program that has been flagrantly abused for years to the detriment of Canadians. There's record high youth unemployment yet every Tim Hortons is filled with Indians.
Another answer is: They're not - at least in some plants:
Congratulations you just reinvented eugenics.
For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.

747s were in commercial production for 54 years (1970 to 2023).
Nobody has ever been killed by a Waymo. You're being dramatic.
What will happen is they will leave us to die.
Lots of people want to rule a nation, but no one wants to rule a nation of bones.
The Montreux Convention only covers the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits. Not all straits in the world.
As the Soviets knew, apparatus are expensive but pencils are cheap.
This is normal. Confirming hits gives your enemy valuable information about their accuracy.
Orion utilizes two Vehicle Management Computers, each containing two Flight Control Modules, for a total of four FCMs. But the redundancy goes even deeper: each FCM consists of a self-checking pair of processors.
Who sits down and determines that 8 is the correct number? Why not 4? Or 2? Or 16 or 32?
Only in that it's in a private equity fund, not one-time spending.
If this is run anything like the CPP, it will underperform both the market and their own benchmarks yet lead to executives awarding themselves huge bonuses.
The cost of passenger rail is high in America, because America doesn't build enough rail.
The cost of passenger rail is high in America because America has 11% of the population (read: customer) density of Japan.
(For cities, NYC has 25% lower population density than Tokyo.)
The first link you posted says that 29% of the land is used for pasture and 15% is used for crops (which will include both human and animal).
So yes, most cows are eating grass like a wandering herd.
To feed a growing population, it is essential that the global agri-food system be managed to efficiently convert crop production into calories for human consumption.
It's really not. Efficiency is the enemy of redundancy. Countries want food security, so they must therefore produce excess calories.
Well, the Moon, Sun, and Earth are all flatter than most surfaces in my house, and I call those surfaces flat, so yeah...
1.8kg of common food is 5000 Calories-ish. I can only imagine that dried food is more calories per weight. So yeah, a lot.
So all of a sudden the nice town clinic has $2,500,000 in debt, raise prices accordingly...
From a financial engineering perspective this is wrong.
Both equity and debt have costs of capital. Debtholders expect interest, capital holders expect RoE. The money going to debt interest is money that would previously have gone to equity, but now does not because the equity is replaced with debt.
Crucially, the costs of debt is lower than the cost of equity because of the interest tax shield. Therefore, the vet clinic now requires less revenue to maintain or even increase its return to equity.

Imagine if a gun manufacturer sold a gun that you couldn't use against X or Y country
That kind of happens with F35s that the US sells to its allies.
they actually sent some shitty live version which would have avoided paying their old bassist.
Their old bassist did not make for good PR... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandy_Smith
