This is the opposite of security theater. It was an apparently an implementation of security with issues but restricting physical access, both for people and vehicles, is absolutely a real improvement to security.

I wish they would just copy the gui format of Solidworks, Creo, NX, etc. Every time I open it to try and learn it, it frustrates the crap out of me and I close it until it's been long enough that I'm willing to try again.

My point was only that you may not have checked but you know about the 737 Max. Do you know about software failures from Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, etc. killing someone? They certainly have but it doesn't get the same press.

No, that's just on a salary basis. If you want to go further into bringing other stuff in I would say, on average, the European folks are only slightly worse off money wise (owning a house there does seem harder overall) but with more

I'm not sure of the situation for software engineers but ones on the aerospace and mechanical side working in aerospace in Europe are paid something on the order of 50% less than ones in the US. I always assumed it's just a supply

For Airbus, Boeing, and others the cost of failure is disproportionately high. Just look at how you consider Boeing despite that 99.99...% of their software and hardware work flawlessly. They will be known for the 737 Max failure for decade

This maybe for travel expenses but it's the same story for so many things 1. Start with a mostly manual, people labor based, system that works well (handing Joann receipts) 2. It begins to not cost-scale well with growth (department si

Understood, I think we are coming from different environments. Edit: I wish I had access to ones more like yours.

Like I said, you feel free to continue to do nothing to support good work done by good people and just "let it happen", I will continue to support it actively when I see it.

Have you never seen a good project or idea, that every engineer who saw it thought was awesome, die because it wasn't sold well to authority? Authority may not have to sell or mandate for that person to get their work done but supporti

Your initial response included this: >Respectfully, if that’s your mindset then I think the problem lies with you and not with the manager. Adding "respectfully" to a sentence that says, "you are wrong and the problem is y

His logic for staying "out of the way" is: "The work was going to be successful without me; he’s a Wolf." This is the biggest pile of crap I have ever heard. Projects and ideas being thought up by "wolves" that

You do but when it comes to certain critical areas that require very large investments in R&D to get going (space launch, 5th/6th gen fighters, nuclear deterrents, etc.) there is a significant lack of home grown capacity/capab

I'm not sure how we went from the "act" being "invest in their own defense" to "start ww3" but I am quite confident no one is complaining they are not doing that, lol.

Is it time? Maybe. Will they do it? Probably not. The European countries constantly talk and never act. It took the second Russian invasion of Ukraine for them to even barely start to do anything and even now, they are still trying to get t

Slightly off topic but does anyone know if there are studies looking at the use of negative vs positive "reinforcement" on employees in order to increase productivity, reduce costs, whatever-metric-you-want-to-pick? In my professi

I forget where, but someone was talking about a similar difference in American vs British comedy looking at The Office (the American one) and Parks and Rec. In both, the format tends to be pre-conflict -> conflict -> resolution, with

Has this ever been something you can ignore? You need to be able to interact with customers, communicate with other team members, mentor junior engineers, etc. I know there is the trope of the abrasive but technically genius engineer but no

Im sorry, hoarding the value generated by everyone working at amazon. If you want to come up with another arbitrary distinction without a difference, be my guest.

They quite literally hoard the profit produced by the people that work for them. If they didn't, they wouldn't be billionaires. Pretending that because the wealth isn't in the form of a pool filled with gold coins that someho

In the real world 100% of bad advice from ai doesn't have any consequences for the ai companies.

A doctor is medically and legally responsible for the guidance they give patients. Are there cases where they give bad advice and avoid taking responsibility? Of course, as is the case with lawyers, engineers, etc., but there are standards

Yes, depending on whose stats you use it's 20-30% of those diagnosed. Not a small amount and people I worry about being dependent on private equity. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3869868/

When I first watched a bunch of Adam Curtis stuff I thought it a long winded way of stating bad things have happened and have resulted in these bigger, overarching, bad things. Thinking about it now 10 years later it feels alot different. T

Reading the headline all I can think about is that many people with autism are not capable of communicating, or if they are, only in a limited way. Literally people who do not have a voice to speak for themselves.

Or it's a placebo effect. And if it didn't work out and made you worse or, god forbid, the advice caused you to get seriously injured, then what? ChatGPT won't take any responsibility. I have so many issues with our current h
