This looks like one overconfident sailor who had planned to bring friends with modest sailing experience out for a day on the water and refused to let high, gusting winds hold him back.

They couldn't control the boat enough to keep the mainsail up in gusty winds, and if they had the boat would likely be leaning and flagging soo far over in choppy seas that the passengers would be right to be scared of the boom taking one of them out. It doesn't look like there is an outboard motor, so I guess they somehow got out of the slip and away from docks on just the jib, then hit the real wind gusts.

And now the video starts with mainsail down and getting in the way, jib not fully up but providing some pull, and that pull being lost to waves and poor steering. The sailor is messing with lines up front while the tiller is manned by someone who is waaay out of their element, and who begins to just jack-knife the thing from 0:20 onwards, halting all forward momentum. I don't want to come down on that person too hard, because none of them should have been out there that day, and the sailor should have been manning the till or at least yelling very specific orders at the top of his lungs well before the situation got this bad. No idea why they don't have an outboard motor, maybe they lost it. If its a rental, that rental agency should not have let them go out there.

Monsanto is like Microsoft... they are these hulking titans of their respective industries, who work as hard as they can to stay ahead of the game, sometimes through questionable activities. However, their contributions on the whole are incredible, driving generations of progress in their respective fields through investment, research, and release of progressively more useful tools (on the whole).

There is a similar debate regarding pharmaceutical companies and their profiteering from the invention of life saving drugs... its easy to paint a company as a 'bad guy' for charging large amounts of money for medicine that a person needs to live. But is it the company's responsibility to forgo shareholder profits in order to maximally help more people with their drug, or is it the spectrum of regulations imposed by a representative government that should be entrusted with that responsibility?

GMO agriculture products that are drought tolerant, flood tolerant, self pollenating, etc etc, will likely save our buns in the next 100 years. If anything we should be doubling down on how much effort we put into GMO production and selection, to help drive a technological boom in that industry before we've mismanaged ourselves into a crisis.

FYI, there are a number of high-end cars that have this built-in. BMW has different versions across a lot of their cars, and calls it the 'Brake Force Display'.

BMW found it was less distracting and more intuitive for other drivers if the brake force was indicated by a few stages of big lights going on (3 or 4), with the last stages also having one or all of the brake lights slowly flash in the 'hazard light' mode if you really slammed the brakes.

Motocyclists also commonly buy aftermarket flasher modules that indicate when they are braking heavily, which you can find on amazon.

Before this one there was an Indian one - https://youtu.be/F4va4Me4FFM - and another from, Malaysia maybe? - https://youtu.be/u7kwS3ZbvNQ

There might be a real one that inspired these, or it could just be a funny story that someone told. "I stole this tourist's wallet and then saw the CCTV camera turned towards me,...", "hah, funny story, hey lets film a version of this to get views."

Patience and restraint are a product of appropriate expectations.

Expectations should be a product of experience, but often are guided to be overly optimistic by our betting nature.

'I should have left earlier but if I make every traffic light I'll be fine... aaaahhh why are these traffic lights all making me late!'

And here we are, just about 2017, and 'freethinkers' are still convincing themselves that sending 100 million tons of carbon up into the sky every day does nothing to the air, water and soil carbon sinks. And to suggest it does and also own a car or fly in a plane? You're a degenerate hypocrite.

Very glad you pointed this out, as the international cabal of hundreds of thousands of researchers (people who literally earn their livings by questioning established norms and developing new ideas and solutions, and are therefor pretty hard to keep toeing the line in this cabal) will certainly be angry at Neil deGrasse Tyson for owning that nice car, and flying in airplanes, and no doubt eating burgers while wearing clothes made in China. We, the cabal, definitely need to chat with Neil, as that luxory sedan only get 19 city/29 highway,... with such hypocritical actions, he may as well be handing out pamphlets telling people about our secret anthropogenic global warming cabal, and its goals to, um, regulate the human contributions to the warming of our one habitable planet.

Sorry I lost the snark there at the end because I forget what reason the conspiracy theorists give for 'AGW shills'... is it somethng to do with a moral argument against Exxon and other energy mega companies? Again, sorry, would appreciate help with that part.

hmmm... would be better if they had a picture or diagrams of the 'special camera pods', since that is the answer to their question... and they are really cool looking - http://gwsbooks.blogspot.com/2015/04/camera-pods.html

Neat! The couple of spots of vocal fry (0:37, 1:07 ) really wrecked it for me... very distracting and unprofessional sounding.

MC Chris. I recognize the voice of that glorious man-child anywhere. Everyone's favorite nerd rapper. http://youtu.be/MUu9SkBQcXw

I laughed at the 'no air' part...

Don't fully understand the hate - this reminded me exactly of 'Bill Nye the Science Guy', the original show. Or 'Beakman's World'... what ever happened to that guy? http://youtu.be/SxcurY0Gp-0

I said 'Wow!' no less than 3 times while watching this.

If you're interested in seeing a similar surgery, a training video is online - http://www.ric.org/research/centers/bionic-medicine/Video/

Warning... uh... its a surgical training video. So, expect to see some of muscle and whatnot that is underneath your skin.

This show may not be for you, but I'm concerned that you're too quick to toss it aside based on a misconception...

If you listen again, Radio Lab's style is a throw-back to the 'radio dramas' of old, with sound effects and mood music and fast scripts and narrators leading you through the story. I actually thought it was corny how they played up the 'old-timey radio style' when presenting these non-fiction subjects. Its a scripted show, not a live interview show, so the fast cuts are more analogous to a reporter sharing a set of punchy quotes gathered from experts for a story.

the reveal at 1:15... brilliant. really well planned and shot.
