I'm quite surprised that they ignored her past - she was married to Friedrich Mandl, an arms manufacturer. She learned about military technology from his friends.

So obvious option - that historians considers - is that she basically patented ideas she obtained/discussed during her marriage. Missing details are also behind the reason why she could not reproduce some of them.

Oh, come on. I sort of get the "quips that don't add materially to the discussion get all the downvotes" sentiment, but a well executed, topically relevant Mel Brooks joke in the gray? On a Sunday? We're very puzzled.

It's just noise. If you want pop culture references and one liners go to Reddit.

Exactly. Let's keep HN purely filled with startup advice, middle age crisis geek questions, functional programming trivialities and Mongo.

This whole thread is nothing but trivia. It seems there is double standard.
