There's a point and a joke. It seems like you didn't get the joke and missed the point. The point being made is that the bottom is falling out of the bullshit market, and it's about damn time. It's made with humor and sn

That's true, but the design constraints are very different. If your synth had a system in it that could fail, and another system responsible for monitoring that first system, and potentially overriding it, and if that system failure re

Diligence in doing the job well, and diligence in putting in long hours, are two very different things.

I'm really not sure. The "get started" buttons go to some sign up page. Is this some kind of next-level art piece? It feels too cheeky to be real.

They do try. Avionics is miles ahead of everyday commercial stuff like your desktop computer in reliability and correctness. This is not just about software, a plane is a complex physical system and the idea of absolute control is a fantasy

Indeed ;-) But I bet 99% of those wouldn't need to be asked if people hadn't overcomplicated things in the first place...

You can do a lot with the right, simple architecture and a programming language at the right level of abstraction.

Sure, but establishing this office includes setting out staffing procedures, so there exists a mechanism for this issue to be addressed. Whether it will be or not is another question.

You're going off on a tangent based on semantics and speculation. Pilots who are competent at every basic skill, but don't have years of combat or test pilot experience or extensive experience on the plane in question absolutely e

"Simplify and streamline" is exactly not the solution here, in fact the issue was that the relevant information was invisible and hidden from pilots, not that there was too much. Not everything in good design needs to end up looki

There's plenty of people with the necessary skills outside of the private sector or outside of the SF/SV tech bubble. The key will be how they select the experts, if it's a revolving door from FAANG then we know it was all a

100% control of any complex system does not and can not exist.

So your argument is that there's nobody both technically competent and willing to work in an important role for the government? I can tell you for a fact you're wrong, and if you don't believe me, you may want to widen your s

These two stuck out. Also, the advice about commas (for pauses) is not entirely wrong but not quite right either, and the advice about dashes (for emphasis) is simply wrong. If you've read Strunk and White, or most any style guide, not

Or (as in this case): the prestige of flying in on a private jet outweighs the fiscal responsibility concerns of anyone in a position to say "no." Same thing with the Maybach.

Yes, but... who do we blame for it going on this long?

Maybe it shouldn't be, but it is. People are putting microphones in their homes that Amazon controls and that serve no purpose but to let them spend money with Amazon more conveniently. The old definition of property doesn't reall

Yes. It's oxidized and stale. It's like buying cheese in a block from a refrigerator or something that was grated three months ago and put on a shelf.

You're correct about FSF/GNU having narrow focus. Also that the GPL doesn't say anything about what biologists can't publish. Analogically we can make the arguments but we can't attribute these arguments to the FSF.

Right. But you own your blender. It's naïve to think you own your phone just because you carry it around.
