I think the point of the article is something that does an 95% job for 10% the cost works for a lot of things, but somethings that trade off doesn't work.

I think the point of the article is something that does an 95% job for 10% the cost works for a lot of things, but somethings that trade off doesn't work.
- virgilp 9y agoMaybe. And I could get behind a viewpoint that says, "some things are so dangerous, that a 99.999% job is not good enough". That's definitely true. But that is much less of a rant, and it requires the writer to do the hard work of defining those dangerous things, and arguing the benefits of adding the 4th, 5th, 6th nine against the cost. Saying "everything is crap" makes me just not take the article seriously, because the author only did half of the thinking job (not even half, maybe).
