Except Boeing's Starliner so far has cost Nasa almost 2X as much as SpaceX, and is aiming for prices at around 2/3 more per astronaut (55mil SpaceX vs 90mil Boeing). If it's a horse rase, the plough horse is neck-and-neck wit

Good point. If there’s a database that rivals Mongo for shady sales tactics, it’s Oracle.

If a database advertises attributes that aren't a part of its default setup, you can expect its docs to make it very simple and clear how to get them. If not, that's misrepresentation.

It's usually because the software accrues warts, procedures, and special cases that get baked into the company's very core. They're all different and all valuable. Replacing them requires someone who fundamentally understands

Same with a major retailer I worked for. They recently succeeded... by moving to a mainframe emulator in the cloud. The crusty batch software written in the early 80s is still running unchanged.

cfront demonstrated how this is a bad idea. And it was for C++, about as C friendly as you can get.

I have an Airtouch. Same idea but with air springs. Zap right to the height you want and get back to work.

No matter how easy it is, if it takes 30 sec of cranking to switch heights I’d do it way less often. This also goes for those irritating slow electric versions where you need to hold a button down for 30 sec.

And it’s a responsibility/pain for the facilitator when it’s on. Often they‘ll be caught up in the meeting and leave anyone who arrived 3 minutes late to spend the rest of the meeting waiting to be admitted.

What makes you think they’re unstealthy? I doubt there’s even a tiny bit of metal in them. If they’re made out of Teflon, PVC, and exotic composites, they’ll have barely any radar return. They’re just propulsors. The motor is inside the air

Feeding an automated system (with authority to crash the plane) from a single sensor is also known to be wrong. Controls engineering has taught failure modes and redundancy since the '60s. That didn't stop Boeing.

Two reasons I can think of: - "seems to have made" is important. A decade ago, Watson seemed to be a lot of progress in the AI world. - Where's the revenue?
