And the official national warning app (NINA) failed
- majewsky 6y agoWell, I mean, that's what you do tests for.
- s9w 6y agoThere's been an official response now: The system was overwhelmed because instead of just one nation-wide alarm, several local institutions used the system for local alarms. Which is scary: The number of local alarms was three I read (very uncertain about that number). And the nationwide alarm came 31 minutes late. That seems unreasonable, but yeah I guess the test was productive at least.
- jansan 6y agoThe whole system is flawed. They should take a look at how Japan has implemented the J-Alert system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-Alert https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-Alert Cell broadcast is much more suitable than a stupid app if you want to warn people in a certain area.
- s9w 6y agoYes, obviously using the phone network is the better idea. But realistically the goal of these projects is not to create a working system. The goal is to create something "new" to leech money off the federal and EU projects, which they succesfully did.
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoWhy is that the better idea? What if it is hacked/DDOSed, or something?
- taejo 6y agoEven better, then you can pay your pals in the consulting companies even more to fix it.
