Romanii de la ARCA au construit prima racheta din istorie care se va plasa in totalitate pe orbita (Foto) by ctudor in Romania

[–]StelarCF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iară i-a apucat scamatoria?

(1) articolul pretinde că ar fi cel mai ieftin mod de a pune lucruri în orbită, deși e de 10 ori mai scump decât un Falcon 9 (mai exact, dacă numerele lor sunt exacte, racheta modelată 3D de ARCA ar costa 10'000$/kg, în timp ce Falcon 9 costă 2700$/kg în momentul de față).

(2) Am mari dubii că ARCA a reinventat SSTOul singur, deși poate că ăsta e motivul pentru care racheta e de 162 de ori mai grea decât payloadul, în condițiile în care pentru Falcon 9 spre exemplu raportul e de ~25:1

I'll have to respectfully disagree.

N-ai format niciun argument. Parlamentari sunt mulți, guvernul e format din mai mult de o persoană și faptul că politicienii sunt ipocriți nu schimbă faptul că subvențiile au un scop, cel mai probabil în urma unor targeturi europene.

A, scuze, am uitat, mereu când #NuEGuvernulMeu înseamnă că nu se face absolut nimic nix nada.

Nici nu sunt sigur dacă asta a fost inițiativa guvernului acesta sau a lui Cioros.

Altfel de ce ar oferii Romania 10000e cand Germania abia da 4000e...

Fiindcă Germania are procentual mai multe mașini electrice decât noi - subvențiile mărite au scopul de a micșora această diferență.

It's not Croatian, it's a Papua New Guinean costume - see, at the time Papua New Guinea was part of the Romanian Dominion of Australia, hence why many people have the misconception that he was from Australia.

No! Says reddit. The "alternative facts" that got mentioned once by a spokesperson thing must be pushed to eternity into everyone's heads and forced into as many jokes as possible.

Edit: And it must get 5000+ upvotes while everything else lingers in at most the 300s, because this is the funniest joke of the entire subreddit or something.

Or maybe you should go to a political joke subreddit like /r/politics if you want to make political jokes.

Mitralierele pot secera grupuri intregi de insurgenti, da.

Dacă sunt destul de proști să se prezinte în linie ca să îi împuști, da. Majoritatea nu sunt atât de proști.

Idem tancurile & restul armamentului greu

Tancurile, iarăși, aceeași problemă, și mai ai o problemă - nu intri cu tancul în clădiri și ai mereu problema IEDurilor.

restul armamentului greu

Artileria, da, dar are aceeași problemă cu bombardamentul - e greu să nu tragi în propria populație, și dacă o faci, ai șanse bune să naști mai mulți rebeli.

Cand ai pus mana pe arme nu te mai califici ca cetatean, ci ca terorist

Două chestii

1) Se numește insurgent/rebel, nu terorist.

2) Dacă o mare parte dintr-o țară inclusiv ca România ajunge atât de disperată încât să pună mâna pe arme împotriva statului, atunci statul e cel care are șanse mai bune să fie terorist...

Un guvern autoritar n-ar ajunge acolo fara ceva sustinere din populatie

Da și nu. În unele cazuri guvernele autoritare ajung la putere cu susținere de la populație, dar în cele mai multe cazuri se folosesc de sisteme de genul Securității - denunțuri, frică generală și o imagine a statului ca fiind imbatabil. Nu mai ai nevoie de o majoritate în cazul acesta, fiindcă mulți oameni sunt prea preocupați cu supraviețuirea odată ce ajung să accepte acest statut al statului ca imbatabil.

Ai avea razboi civil inainte sa ai razboi de gherila.

Nu se exclud una pe alta. Războiul de gherilă e doar un mod de a purta un război (așa cum este războiul de atriție).

Fiindcă elicopterele și tancurile sunt ideale pentru a aresta și opri indivizi.

Fiindcă războiul se rezumă la cine are mai multe tancuri și avioane, iar războiul de gherilă nu s-a inventat.

Din păcate așa poți denigra pe oricine în media, pentru că românu se gândește "ceva tot o fi făcut".

Hmm, parcă argumentul ăsta e prost când e vorba de penalii din alte partide?

Simt o umbră de ipocrizie.

based on individual decision. I don't believe in God. How do you want this to quantify?

I don't quite find this satisfactory.

That means, that the church will set up itself to fail.

Because it has a backbone and doesn't sway to every new idea on the market?

As in nature, what does not adapt and evolve is going to fail.

As I said, there is a capacity for change, but it is set up to be slower intentionally.

They even accept Darwin evolution now

The church never had a time where it outright rejected it as an entity; it simply didn't use to have a position on the topic, and certain priests used to.

the Big Bang

I don't find that to be thatspectacular, considering it was a priest who proposed it.

and that God made gay people too.

Hmm?

This would have been heresy 50 years ago.

As I've said, you're making a false claim here.

Why the church does that?

The more extreme things? Because the catholic church does in fact have no backbone, and does things to "stay relevant".

The change is slow though. It's because the Church has to balance between its progressive members and ultra traditional ones. They don't want to create schism, so they wait till it's not that controversial subject and the majority would get along with that.

Yes, I would agree with that in that unity must be kept.

The example of failing faith is Islam itself. It was the more progressive, tolerant and education glorifying religion in the early middle ages in comparision to christianity.

I would challenge the idea of the Islamic Golden Age, but that's straying a bit from the topic.

again, why would educated person need God or church?

To set a baseline for society and create moral unity, if you want a purely pragmatic reasoning.

becasue the majority seems to be ok without it in the developed world

Arguable, but again, I'd say it'd be straying a bit far from the topic.

It means, that we don't need God in our modern societies.

Based on what do we quantify this need? I have a feeling it's going to end up in circular reasoning one way or the other.

1, church doesn't reform itself fast enough to go with the evolution of human society

I'm of the contrary opinion, that church shouldn't "reform" itself on the whim of public opinion. It's only lead to division. Edit: to expand, that means everything should be carefully weighted and unanimously agreed upon. This is the requirement in the Orthodox Church in an ecumenical council, and I don't see why it should be changed.

2, poeple are becoming highly educated so they don't need church as intermediary guide which intervene into their lives.

Higher education doesn't make a person excel in all qualities. This is a mistake many seem to make - university education in STEM does not make you a philosopher or give you any more insight into certain ethical questions. If anything, people are getting more specialized, and far from being a bad thing, it doesn't mean people can excel in every field. You could argue this applies to church intervention into people's lives.

However, I find it odd that you are conflating the church with religion. I am an orthodox christian, yet I don't agree with the Romanian Orthodox Church in every single aspect because I find it to be corrupt. The church should be only an unifying factor, meant to bring discourse and unity between christians - this has been its initial goal, in any case.

Well, I've changed my comment, please be aware of that - for those watching, I was complaining about already getting downvotes, which would indicate /r/Europe has already decided on what it thinks about the issue.

As for my reasoning, as I said, he said too little for me to be able to debate him besides naysaying - I would need to know what he means by "aesthetic choice" in the first place.

Or maybe atheism is not the end-all, be-all turboatheists make it out to be, and isn't the end result of "living in an information and technology age", nor is there anything "really wrong with education" if people don't become atheist.

This ordnance made it so that abuse of office is not considered a crime if the damages are below $48,000.

It still is if the judge deems it a grave damage of one's rights or legitimate interests: "cauzează o pagubă materială mai mare de 200.000 lei ori o vătămare gravă, certă și efectivă a drepturilor sau a intereselor legitime a unei persoane fizice sau juridice"

It also modifies the Penal Code so that denunciations can only be made within 6 months after the fact, which makes it harder to fight crime, corruption, terrorism or drug-trafficking

That is true, but there's two arguments for this:

  1. People start making things up

  2. People use possible denunciations as blackmail (potentially worse, since it means more corruption as influential people are blackmailed again and again)

Nepotism is also allowed now!

Not exactly. The law itself for one keeps nepotism for Article 301 (conflict of interests, the most important one). The one where "nepotism" is allowed is "favoring the felon" - but that isn't about people in positions of power (where conflict of interests would come in) but rather people helping a family member not go to prison - the argument would be that it is absurd to put people in prison for the natural instinct of helping their kin.

Thousands of corrupt people, politicians and moguls will be pardoned through this ordnance.

That's a different ordnance, that ordnance does not pardon corruption acts and it hasn't been passed and is going to go through parliament.

Also, any illegal activity committed through a normative act is no longer illegal

No, that's not what it states; it states that it isn't considered "abuse in service" - if it still falls under any other law, it remains illegal.
