Those stupid conversation bubbles is the very first feature I disable on the Facebook Messenger app. Whoever thought that was a good idea needs to be sterilized. Whoever thought at Google that idea needs to be copied should be taken out behind the shed and put out of their misery.
You again. Apparently you do understand that it was not the autopilot that dove the plane into the ground, and that is just the beginning of your display of ignorance. Just shut up.
I honestly thought all you do is troll but at this point I see you actually struggle in an epic battle with the english language. That or you're actually schizophrenic (oops I used a big word, let me help you: you are delusional and and hear voices in your heard). Maybe read the thread and keep your completely irrelevant and off topic garbage to yourself.
Did Verizon say you can hit 1.45Gbps peak on their 4G network at launch? Don't think about it, the answer is no. Their 5G network launched with much faster speed than their 4G network.
The speed is not exclusively linked to the number of Gs
Humans are vindictive shits. The only walls we're building is to keep the climate change refugees out, because just like Mexicans people who live in Florida aren't real people and don't deserve a good life.
You are probably being sarcastic but humanity has only demonstrated one thing over the past 20 years, we don't fucking deserve to survive. I'm off to do by bit by running the A/C with the window open.
... the reality is the internet has shown us the true face of the human race
Indeed but that hasn't changed in the past several thousand years. However people while shitty on the inside were more tolerable in the past. The overflowing of the cesspool is still on social media's shoulders.
Who is excited to attempt RMA'ing a $10k to $20k Motherboard?
No one is excited. People who are buying $10k to $20k motherboards have SLAs that make the entire process incredibly boring and uneventful complete with spare part in place instantly so you don't even need to care about if or when your RMA goes through.
The reason aircraft software should always be able to be overriden by the pilot is that software can never be proven to work as specified.
So the answer is to hand control to people who have repeatedly over the past 100 years shown to make stupid decisions against the advice of software and cause planes to drop out of the sky?
You're applying computational theory without actually considering the single most important factor: The probably of failure at any given time. And that my friend, for a well designed system (which this is not), is several orders of magnitude better than any human could achieve. This is the reason we have safety systems in the first place.
We engineers do not make the decisions- managers do.
I typically will chime in and defend our profession a lot. But don't take this to the extremes. There are some *fucking stupid* engineers out there and the only fault management can be given in some cases is to not understand enough to fire people. However in this case I generally agree with you. On a system like this there should be enough eyes to discount incompetence as a cause of failure.
IMHO NO system should EVER override the pilot
Your opinion is noted and dully ignored. The airline and process industries have achieved their great and ever improving safety record precisely by recognising that humans are a really weak link and designing systems specifically with the singular purpose of taking control away from that fallible human. I humbly have the opposite opinion, no pilot should EVER be able to override a safety system. Not when we have a long and sad history of pilots thinking there were right while instruments warn them repeatedly that their plane is falling out of the sky.
Ok the reality is that there's no absolutes. The word "ever" doesn't actually belong in this argument. Each risk and case should be individually assessed and on a case by case the ability to override should be part of an engineering decision.
Unfortunately we here have a system without a safe state. Letting a pilot override the MCAS system as is is not the answer. You're stuck between a system specifically designed to avoid pilots stalling the plane actually thinking the plane is stalling. Designed as is with the system that has this function there's no source of truth and the pilot is no more trustworthy than the damn AoA sensor which may or may not be faulty.
The correct answer here is not to let a pilot override but rather to install a 3rd sensor to provide an indication of what is happening. A man with a watch knows the time. A man with 2 watches is never sure.
This latest outbreak is going to jump start more laws to stop this stupid crap.
Nope. Because this is America and someone's believe in some sky daddy anti gubbmint rubbish trumps laws and for some arse stupid reason this is frequently upheld in courts.
It's a lack of critical thinking skills and/or logical reasoning ability.
Critical thinking and logical reasoning is precisely what cements their beliefs when presented with incorrect information. If they can be accused of anything it's suffering from severe observer bias, but there are many well educated anti-vaxxers who are perfectly capable of thinking.
Of course there is. Code is executed in a logical way. Saying their code is mathematically free of bugs is both valid and provable. Now whether the compiled result, the platform or hardware allows an exploit to run on the final binary is a completely different argument.
Awards show: The presence of the award making a start or service marketable in an industry and thus having negative direct financial impact on people and companies across the industry involved or working with one specific company. - Seems exactly what the Department of Justice - AntiTrust Division should handle.
- Opioid problem - Not sure why the Anti Trust Division should handle that.
- Illegals streaming across the border - I think this is more of a Fox New problem than anything belonging to the DoJ, but in any case it wouldn't be part of the Anti Trust Division.
- Big Pharma cranking up the price by 5000% due to being a monopoly - that does sound like an Antitrust problem, right until you realise that it's not an antitrust problem nor is it illegal to set a high price for your goods even if you're a monopoly. It's actually quite the opposite. If a competitor came along then it would be illegal for the monopoly to *drop* it's price to remove the competitor out of the market.
- the $infinitely_long_and_MUCH_MORE_IMPORTANT_list - You have yet to label one thing that the Anti Trust Division of the DoJ could be working on instead of this. I'm beginning to think that you don't understand that there are different departments dedicated to different problems within the DoJ. I'm beginning to think you raged and typed before thinking and researching. This also isn't the Anti Trust Division's problem. This is firmly the problem of the United States Department of Education
Yes people seem to confuse anti-trust with monopolies in both directions. You don't need to be a monopoly in order to abuse your market position and fall afoul of antitrust laws either.
Should the Oscars also be forced to include made for TV movies? It's the same reasoning.
Yes. Why is this even a question? I mean it's not like that's a threat. Made for TV movies have a certain non-Oscar quality to them so the fact that this restriction is in place in the first place is truly bizarre.
But the reality is that Netflix actually pay to have their movies shown in a Cinema which actually makes them different from your direct to TV approach.
The fundamental problem why people do this is precisely because they see history as a list of *The USA / (insert other questionable country here) did it then banned it for everyone else* achievements.
one does wonder if they've crossed into Conspiracy some years ago.
Hardly. At this point I'm going for systematic and gross incompetence. I personally hope that they mishandled these passwords too and that the regulators pummel them out of existence for it.
user.js what? Is that how you give tech advice? Just tell people to go to settings, click notifications, and click disable new notification requests.
I mean shit user.js? Why not ask people to download the source and patch out the code and recompile while you're at it? Or use a hex editor to patch the binary exe like the good old days of bypassing DRM?

We should probably consider ANY hardware manufactured in a country with an uber-authoritarian, paranoid government to be suspect.
Given how we actively know the NSA has sought exactly these kinds of back doors you can just remove all adjectives and say:
"We should probably consider ANY hardware manufactured in a country with a government to be suspect."

Or, you know, we, as a species, could stop being pants-on-head stupid about this
There's only one certainty about climate change and that is that we as a species will *not* stop being pants on head stupid about this.
Now if you'll excuse me we have bigger problems. Migrants are approaching, we need to close the borders, and climate change is all Jhina's fault.
We'll try to add sea walls
Humans are vindictive shits. The only walls we're building is to keep the climate change refugees out, because just like Mexicans people who live in Florida aren't real people and don't deserve a good life.

Most parents nowadays have no first hand knowledge
You don't need first hand knowledge. You need to trust the experts whom you charge with helping you make informed decisions.
How many anti-vaxxers decided to get pregnant and lead their baby to full term with no medical help at all?
in the United States you're three times as likely to die from a shark attack (1 death per year on average) as you are from from the measles
You can thank vaccines for that.
It's a lack of critical thinking skills and/or logical reasoning ability.

Of course there is. Code is executed in a logical way. Saying their code is mathematically free of bugs is both valid and provable. Now whether the compiled result, the platform or hardware allows an exploit to run on the final binary is a completely different argument.
