I was going to say there’s also the option of in-between but that is dependant on clothing, but you beat me to it 😅

You’ve convinced me that it’s reasonable that it could effect the outcome. But in that case, we’re averaging out a large variance in size, which as you said (and I agree) could change the outcome dramatically.

This was my original problem with the “anatomically correct” part of the statement. There is no “anatomically correct” male or female, only approximations. This effectively excludes people at the extremes of physical characteristics from these safety tests

so I’m making the fairly safe assumption they put dummies in various different seating arrangements

The source doesn’t use data from crash test dummies but from real life crashes. So we can’t take seating arrangements for granted if it could meaningfully effect the numbers.

The stats apparently originate from the US government, so it’s going to be a pretty big sample size that should average out any differences in seating position.

The sample size is irrelevant if cultural factors exist that could skew the results. Cultural factors like men are more commonly taxi/Uber/bus drivers, men are more likely to drive with their partner as a passenger than the inverse, etc.

I don’t think there are really any conclusive after stats as the product was only introduced to the market a couple of years ago

That’s a fair point, I don’t expect there would be enough data for anything conclusive.

there’s a correlation with male safety improving with advances in the crash test process that aren’t reflected equivalently with women’s safety

That would be an interesting read. I’ll have a look for it.

Ok, I hadn’t considered the differently shaped pelvis and rib cage so I’ll concede that it makes sense.

Even still, to my mind (again, not educated in this area) the breasts themselves are not going to be a factor in terms of a car crash assuming seatbelts are correctly worn

I appreciate your effort to find that data but it doesn’t really address any of my original questions.

Also, from what you’ve quoted at least, there is no differentiation between drivers vs passengers.

Your data absolutely shows there is a problem, it just doesn’t show that the problem is the lack of an “anatomically correct female crash test dummy”.

Has an “anatomically correct female crash test dummy” actually helped? What even is an “anatomically correct female crash test dummy” and how does it encompass all women’s body types in a way that the, assumedly anatomically correct male crash test dummy wouldn’t accommodate?

I am absolutely uneducated on this but to my uneducated mind this sounds like getting riled up over a non-issue.

This sounds legit to me and I’m an expert, because I too have a grandmother

I think this is the winner. Pretty much exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much!

Oh awesome. I’ve never heard of it, I’ll have to check it out

A brain/computer interface. But like you say, depending on the state of tech companies maybe only as an input (I can manipulate computers without allowing them to send a signal of any kind to me).

It’d just be for stuff like mentally dictating note taking, being able to “Google” my thoughts (probably best to send the output to my phone rather than directly into my brain)

I’m so glad we’re on the same page. I’ll go back to the people who are actually open and welcoming to new people rather than the ones that try their hardest to condescend and belittle when I am justifiably suspicious of a random unknown file

I don’t remember asking what Debian was. I demanded an answer to the question, “would you download an unfamiliar file from a stranger without any context or description of what it is” (paraphrasing because I don’t remember exactly what I said). And that demand was only because of the condescending comment I was replying to.

I can admit I have been disrespectful to three people, but only in retaliation to a disrespectful comment levied at me first. Everyone else I have had a pleasant discussion with and thanked them for their time and help. I deserve as much respect as anyone else here does, why did you and the others feel justified being disrespectful to me and expecting me to just allow that to happen without me calling it out for what it is?

And I did read the links you posted, I just don’t see how they are relevant to this case. I thought it could have been a productive discussion, and other than this thread and three particularly rude and unwelcoming people, it has been.

I asked if anyone knows of a resource. I didn’t demand a response. Are you seriously suggesting that people in the open source community see sharing information as a bad thing? That is honestly baffling 😂

That’s a great list, thank you for taking the time. I’ll look into them all

Thank you, I appreciate you actually trying to educate me. If I knew that, I definitely would have been less suspicious

A wonderful example of gatekeeping. Because I don’t have this particular piece of inside knowledge I get downvotes. This is literally my first step into the world of open source, a community I had come to believe was welcoming.

This is beyond a joke. If there weren’t other people legitimately engaging with my question in good faith, I’d be well and truly put off of working with you people.

If I had any context, explanation, prior warning, knowledge of the person sending the file, or ANYTHING I might be more inclined to download a random file.

I’m honestly kinda stunned that you think “download this, run this”, from a complete stranger is a smart thing to do. If that is how you manage your personal security I don’t want to imagine how your software will fare.

If you and that other guy are legitimately what I should expect from the open source community then you’re absolutely right, it’s not for me.

My understanding of gzip files is simply that they’re compressed. Compressed files can still be dangerous last I checked. And like I said to the other guy, I don’t know what Debian is. I’m asking for a start into the open source world, how would I know that this random ass compressed file from somewhere I’ve never heard of is going to be safe?

Yes, getting into the open source world is basically the point of my whole post isn’t it? And you didn’t answer my question

It is a downloadable file. How often do you trust strangers that say “Here you go” with no actual context. I’m not trying to be mean, but seriously put yourself in my shoes. Would you download that file?
