that is a horrible out of context quote, btw. What it means is: Kids between 11 and 13 who have the state recommended schedule see an increase in whooping cough. This is because the vaccine wears off. It's also why the CDC recommends 11,12 and not 13 for the booster.
and this: " since he's more likely..." Is a complete misrepresentation of the facts.
It is known the shot wears off, it is know that a booster at 13 should be done, and again in adults.
There is no surprise here. The headline should read: "Study shows CDC correct. Booster should be given at 11, and not 13.'
""The longer you went from your last vaccine, the greater your risk of disease," Witt told Reuters Health." Oh really? How is an infectious disease Doc not already aware of this? I'm am not a Dr, but I have spent 12 years reading vaccine studies and even I am aware of that fact.
I hope it's just a poor aticle, and this Dr. Wit just wasn't quoted in the correct context. Based on every other article about science, that's probably the case.
assuming it survives. "Black boxes in cars loose their data when they loose power. An actual black box would raise the price of the car several 1000 dollars. And of course, if the software is modifiable, the Black box can be fooled.
hmmm. Now that I think about it, the black box would probably be made a lot cheaper by uploading a short state histiry whenever it has access to the internet... I don't like that because that means there would be a wireless attack vector,.
In anycase, it could still be fooled with a software mod.
Also, what happens when someone mods there car, the sells the car?
not yet. But as systems are pout into place to mitigate carelessness and drunk driving, then there is a risk of making them faulty.
Comparing people modding there software now and saying it won't be a problem is like looking at hackers in 1970 and saying : See, hackers aren't a threat to computers, and we don't have to worry about people getting into computers.
As this expands, a time will come were ANYONE can download some mod off the internet and easily install it into their car. They won't have the skill to look at what it does.
All it will take is an app that says 'Improve your gas mileage buy 10%!'. Followed by a bunch of pop cultures pseudo science.
Yo mean click on a file? I suspect a monkey can click on a file. Cause, that's all you really need to do to load firmware.
Car companies aren't infallible, but the will be liable, and they will be forced to recall and notify owners. There is a long and entrenched history of that.
The vast majority of people 'improving the code' will have some sort of myopic vision of what 'improvement' means. IT is highly unlikely that they will be able to understand the totality of what the car does. What changing something by a milliseconds can do. You see people doing this all the time in software. What is this person using a class? they suck I'm going to put it into a class" then the extra level of indirection start throwing some other timing off.
And that example is a real world example. It was also a lesson that just because someone does very well at MIT doesn't mean they aren't a dip shit. And then there is the issue of resale.
Not true. There are a great many thing that software can control. There are cars out there where you can get 150 more horsepower with a software mod.
Also consider this: If some installed a blinking light into their car, it's annoying. If someone screws with software to make a light blink, a bug could cause run away acceleration. A bug in software can allow that sort of thing to happen.
The unintended consequences from physically changing the car are a lot less likely then from a bug in the software.
"Usually commercial companies have thoughtful testing and QA process" HAHAHAHAHAhahhahaa.. oh man. 'thoughtful testing'. You crack me up sir.
" They need to because they would be held liable for things like this, " It's far cheaper to put a clause in the EULA that says they aren't responsible for damages.
". That's a huge difference to some open source project which is coded by some guy in his parents basement who probably doesn't even have a car but tests it in a simulator." Strawman AND an Ad Hom attack.
well, we don't know what happened. Maybe he pulled the money from their kids college? Or spent all his free time at work or in the garage. Or they just didn't get along.
IF my wife decided to build a simulator in the garage, I would be fine with that, if she drove us into poverty and refused to do anything else, I would have a problem with that.

Great, the you won't mind if I build a coal fire plant next to your home? Cause that's my choice.
Also, I drive on the left side of the road, because I'm an 'merican and that's my choice, fuck all of you.
'merica FUCK YEAH.

What do you me "the charm"?
They wear off.

"Someones back yard shed or garage is the best place to come up with better ideas."
no, not really.
I propose it's the QA team at the auto company that designed that car.

"modicum of skill to work on a car."
and by modicum, you mean 'Use a screw driver'
were YOU can create bugs.
Not soon enough.
Too bad we are still suffering from his stupidity and the greed of his party.

They may get tossed out. actually.
And most flight instrumentation only requires basic electronic skill to replace. If you have the book.
I used to repair aircraft instrumentation. Pretty boring and routine.

You made me choke on my soda. well done, you magnificent bastard!
Simulator achievement. It is in no way an aviation achievement.
And it's is an awesome simulator.
You, and many other people, seem to overlook that they where caught, and are being called out on it.
And the GSA does not equal the whole American government. Rome fell because the leader weren't accountable.
People are people and shit happens. The response is important.
Because it's technical and explosive?
just so you know, CO2 is a poison.
Also, getting farther away and darkening the atmosphere isn't really a survivable strategy.
No, it isn't hard, and they are necessarily self correcting.
History is full of examples.
Or you don't understand it.
