Move fast, break things, ignore safety protocols :-(
- Qem 3y agoSink deep, crush self.
- meepmorp 3y agoYou're not ignoring safety protocols if you don't have them to begin with.
- nickff 3y agoDid Oceangate or its founder(s) say they intended to 'move fast and break things', or are you just imputing that they held those beliefs? The company purported to "maintain[] high-level operational safety".
- jacquesm 3y agoYes. The founder is on record as saying that he thinks safety is wasteful or something to that effect and many other choice quotes besides. https://www.google.com/search?q=stockton+rush+quotes https://www.google.com/search?q=stockton+rush+quotes

- toomuchtodo 3y ago> Metro reports that last year, when asked about the safety of the Titan submersible, Stockton Rush, OceanGate’s CEO, said, “You know, there’s a limit. At some point safety just is pure waste. I mean if you just want to be safe, don’t get out of bed. Don’t get in your car. Don’t do anything. At some point, you’re going to take some risk, and it really is a risk/reward question. I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules.” https://jalopnik.com/oceangate-ceo-called-safety-a-waste-suit-claimed-titan-1850560257 https://jalopnik.com/oceangate-ceo-called-safety-a-waste-sui...
- throwanem 3y agoI believe the kids call this "finding out." Or, as Feynman once put it: "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled."

- msm_ 3y agoDepends on the risk probability, I guess. Walking across the street has nonzero chance of dying. By that logic going to a shop for an icecream has low reward (icecream) and high risk (death).
- ceejayoz 3y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OceanGate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OceanGate > Rush's experience and research led him to two basic conclusions: one, that submersibles had an unwarranted reputation as dangerous vehicles due to their use in ferrying commercial divers, and two, the Passenger Vessel Safety Act of 1993 "needlessly prioritized passenger safety over commercial innovation".

Pretty much says it there along with a rationalization about why the company should ignore any outside experts due to "innovation".
- jacquesm 3y agoAnd ignore engineer employees that point out that you have a dangerous recipe.
- neaden 3y agoSafety regulations are written in blood as they say.

- ceejayoz 3y agoIs there anything the NY Post can't try to blame on wokeness? The objection seems to be age, not race: > “I wanted our team to be younger, to be inspirational and I’m not going to inspire a 16-year-old to go pursue marine technology, but a 25-year-old, uh, you know, who’s a sub pilot or a platform operator or one of our techs can be inspirational,” said Rush. Not an uncommon scenario at startups.
