The Many Faces of Resilience
- nonrandomstring 4y agoLike earthquakes it seems the longer you get away with it, the worse it's gonna be. If heeding the "sand pile" model our problem with digital technology might be that it's too good (bad in the context of normal accident theory). If time between failure is so large, we may have yet to encounter our first, which will come when our systems are too fragile/dependent. Suggests we should try harder to break things from time to time?
