PPS: Give me USD 15M + 10K per aircraft + 10 cents per transported/flown passenger ever protected by this System, and I'll design and implement it for you - with quadruplex redundancy.

- hef19898 3y agoThis comment is peak HN arrogance, or pretty close to it...
- DrNosferatu 3y agoOh, but you haven't seen nothing yet - what about, on top of that, even some extra credibility: Former NASA Engineer, baby B-)
- hef19898 3y agoImpressive. Just tell me, when did NASA develop and build civilian aerospace components?
- DrNosferatu 3y agoNot the point - these are just peak HN arrogance credentials ;)
- hef19898 3y agoAbsolutely the point, because none of what you propose is easy, let alone trivial... As you would know if you came close to civil aerospace development, certification or change management. You also ignore that it is more a policy than a technical problem, Europe has 25 hours and not 2 like the US. No idea how easy it is to retrofit the 25 hours into US certified aircraft with 2 hour recording, which might pose another problem. Bit hey, use your NASA credentials, apply to YC or any other VC, and launch your "trivial" tech solution.
- DrNosferatu 3y agoThanks for the venture offer, but I'm busy frying bigger fish right now.
- barbazoo 3y agoI read it more like an annoyed take on the aviation industry's change management process.
- mulmen 3y agoBased on my experiences with modern technology I don’t want aviation learning anything from tech.
- uticus 3y agoActually I found it makes a great point. > peak HN arrogance Take peak HN arrogance, balance it against peak bureaucratic promises plus peak actual cost, and let me know what you come out with.
- DrNosferatu 3y agoIs it arrogant to wish to survive a common civilian airplane flight?
- hef19898 3y agoNo, but pretty ignorant to propose something that makes it easier to investigate crashes and incidents while having zero impact on incident prevention.
- mulmen 3y agoAssuming zero impact is the arrogance. These systems are complex and human. You can’t make changes without side effects. Nothing is free and actions can have unintended consequences.
- Aeolun 3y agoAll the same, not changing anything changes nothing. And any change involving tech/gear are preferable to changes involving procedure (either more of it, or changes to it). Extending the recording length on voice recorders to a higher number seems pretty straightforward (and already done elsewhere).
- mulmen 3y agoExtending to 25 hours is a lot different than extending it forever. Using “cheap” and “easy” recording devices is frankly reckless. Look around this comment section at the ignoramuses willing to throw SD cards at commercial airliners. Everyone’s an expert. Yes, voice recorders should last long enough to capture everything that happens on a flight. But at the same time pilots should have protections to make them feel safe from retaliation. Aviation safety is an incredible achievement that we as technologists should learn from. It’s not fertile ground for self-proclaimed “engineers” to piss their pet theories upon.
- jacamera 3y agoI had assumed it was satire so you’re absolutely right if it was not!
- DrNosferatu 3y agoHow dare they!?
- Grazester 3y agoWell I think that one flew right over your head. Something Boeing couldn't achieve, so clearly the poster must have worked for Nasa.
- ofcrpls 3y agoErr - it is an EASA requirement that Boeing already conforms to, I believe.
- selimthegrim 3y agoI think he was punning about the flying over the head being something Boeing couldn’t achieve
- 93po 3y agoStartup culture is basically entirely about disruption and challenging status quo. It's not really any more arrogant than general startup mentality, which admittedly is very often arrogant (facebook for dogs, seeking $1B in investors!)
- fred_is_fred 3y agoSomeone just invented DropBlackBox.
- DrNosferatu 3y agoI'll make sure you get some royalties for that name suggestion ;)
- uticus 3y agoBBaaS
- jaredwiener 3y agoJust get an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. /s
- froh 3y agorcs. you meant rcs. and uucp.
- oneplane 3y agoBut it needs to be more enterprise-y, X.400 with maybe X.25 should do nicely.
- justinkramp 3y ago...rsync
- belter 3y agoJust dont use Azure....
