Efficiency goes against resilience.
Can you imagine having just one road connecting two big cities to cut costs? No alternative roads, nor big nor small.
That will be really cheap to maintain, and you can charge as much as you want in tolls as there are no alternatives. And you can add ads all over the road as people has to watch them to move from one city to the other.
And if the road breaks, the goverment needs to pay for the cost as they cannot allow the cities to go unconnected.
We live in the middle-ages of technology.
- nicbou 2y agoWe have multiple exits to avoid trapping people in a fire. Redundancy is important when the cost of failure is high.
- ajsnigrutin 2y agoSure, and all those rules were created when a building without multiple exists burned down and many people died. Maybe this crowdstrike outage will be the "burning building" that will bring change :)
- chii 2y agoComputer systems have gone down before. It's only when people actually die, rather than merely be inconvenienced, that change happens.
- JackMorgan 2y ago911 systems down overnight will certainly be found to have caused deaths.
- lazyasciiart 2y agoAmerica has much stricter rules about this than other places, actually.
