So doesn't really aply for everything

2018-03-28 00:56:47 UTC  

Another funny thing Russians copied American CPUs. We know this because a developer left their intials as Easter eggs in silicone die and the Russians left it in their CPUs

2018-03-28 00:57:08 UTC  

Russians are trash

2018-03-28 00:57:11 UTC  

Basically

2018-03-28 00:57:52 UTC  

Why bother reverse engineering when you can just copy it whole?

2018-03-28 00:58:14 UTC  

Russia doesn't invent anything

2018-03-28 00:58:16 UTC  

Really

2018-03-28 00:58:29 UTC  

Communists fucked them hard

2018-03-28 00:58:42 UTC  

You're not wrong, yeah

2018-03-28 00:59:00 UTC  

well actually didn't the first couple of trains have boiler explosions on the regular?

2018-03-28 00:59:15 UTC  

And there were a lot of pre-Wright brother's planes that crashed constantly

2018-03-28 00:59:50 UTC  

I guess it really depends on what you consider the first plane and first car, too

2018-03-28 01:00:10 UTC  

"Pre Wright" airplanes are more like prototypes

2018-03-28 01:00:35 UTC  

In the dirst world war airplanes were already in vast use

2018-03-28 01:00:39 UTC  

Well a lot of those early cannons and rockets were essentially prototypes too

2018-03-28 01:01:04 UTC  

But yeah, you're right, they weren't really "known' to the public til they were at least capable of doing as advertised.

2018-03-28 01:01:22 UTC  

It took hundreds of years for the concept to be usefull

2018-03-28 01:01:31 UTC  

Like there were a lot of automatic handguns before the c93 Borschart but they fucking sucked.

2018-03-28 01:02:25 UTC  

The thing about arenautics there wasn't math or any calculations you could do

2018-03-28 01:02:31 UTC  

You just put a engine

2018-03-28 01:02:42 UTC  

On a something that looked like it could fly

2018-03-28 01:02:52 UTC  

See what happened

2018-03-28 01:02:58 UTC  

"Rajneesh, how does this work?"

2018-03-28 01:03:03 UTC  

"Fuck man, Vishnu maybe?"

2018-03-28 01:03:06 UTC  

Wright brothers had the advantage of being bike makers

2018-03-28 01:03:22 UTC  

Making compact light weight designs

2018-03-28 01:03:34 UTC  

They also need combustion engine technology to become efficient enough

2018-03-28 01:03:46 UTC  

To make a plane you need a good car engine to be invented too

2018-03-28 01:04:09 UTC  

To make rockets work you need good fuel and knowledge of ballistics

2018-03-28 01:04:26 UTC  

but any schmuck can stick an arrow to a firework and fire off 200 from a cart

2018-03-28 01:10:54 UTC  

I don't know much about the Wright bros, but it sounded like they couldn't afford many engines.

2018-03-28 01:11:10 UTC  

And then struggled to sell the invention.

2018-03-28 01:11:29 UTC  

And the fucking French called fake news on them (later apologized.)

2018-03-28 01:11:44 UTC  

about what?

2018-03-28 01:11:55 UTC  

The press there, were calling them frauds, liars.

2018-03-28 01:12:04 UTC  

About the plane?

2018-03-28 01:12:14 UTC  

Yeah, that they didn't fly, their plane didn't exist, etc.

2018-03-28 01:12:30 UTC  

that's because Santos Dummon flew in the middle of Paris

2018-03-28 01:12:40 UTC  

At a time the Wrights stopped doing public demonstrations because they didn't want anyone to copy their design.

2018-03-28 01:13:20 UTC  

Santos-Dumont was a rich guy, wasn't he?

2018-03-28 01:13:28 UTC  

idk about this tbh
