Every week the EU plans something that draws widespread condemnation (usually because it's tyrannical). Glad I don't live there.
Every week a slashdot user casts the *hyperbole* spell. It's not very effective. It's hilarious that you think the EU plans anything "every week" much less that it consistently draws condemnation.
And good. So far a computer has caused 1 maybe 2 crashes. Pilots on the other hand yanking sticks back in error / terror have caused hundreds of crashes in history.
Several industries including airlines, cars, and the process industry have made major strides in safety precisely by realising that for easily describable scenarios a computer should have the power to say no.
The question isn't why wasn't the pilot given control, the question is only why did the computer fail.
You say that out of emotion rather than logical thought. There's a couple of industries that have made absolutely incredible advances in safety over the past 50 years, the airline industry, the car industry, and the process industry. A large part of all of those industries efforts include the realisation that the human is usually the weakest link in the system and successive safety improvements have been made precisely by giving a computer the final say.
Be it forward crash avoidance applying the brake regardless of what the driver thinks, industrial safety systems slamming shut safety valves regardless of the operator overpressuring the vessel, or in this case, a very definable scenario of aerodynamic stalling.
The question isn't should a computer have more control. The answer there is still yes, there have been 1 (now possibly 2) cases where a computer has crashed a plane due to not knowing the stall condition. There have been thousands where a pilot has done the same thing.
College caught me that who cares what time you wake up on the clock.
And when you grow up and enter the real world you'll find plenty of people care about when you do what with your life, including your neighbours if you wake up at 6am to mow the lawn because it's the only time of the day with light, and your boss because he doesn't want you coming late.
You are further north and thus present a very difference case for anything to do with time and clocks than literally 99.8% of in the population of the country we are talking about. 52% vs 48% Applies to Finland and quite possibly Estonia, parts of Sweeden, parts of Russia, Greenland, Iceland, parts of Canada and maybe Alaska (the 0.2% of US population there).
You'll find people care a lot more when its actually relevant and your country isn't half in perpetual night / day for half a year.
IMHO Daylight Savings Time was much of what killed the drive in theatres.
IMHO the horrible concept of watching a movie in the least comfortable way using the worst possible sound in a poor quality environment killed drive in theaters.
Sorry but that is a bullshit statement. Suppose you got raped by your abusive spouse, what's your answer? Stay with the abusive spouse because you don't know what a stranger may do?
The USA has successfully breached trust and spied on it's closest allies. Countries run intelligence and counterintelligence agencies precisely to ensure "the devil you don't" is someone you actually also know about.
I think you missed my point that "fake news" is a not a term used for actual fake news, but rather stuff that everyone actually knows is true but POTUS Orangus is just trying to claim is false.
What the word "fake" actually means really doesn't matter in our modern world. To claim otherwise... well that's just fake news.
Is the whole thing open source and can you self host it?
The problem with self hosting something like this has never been the availability of source code. There's many open source projects that let you do simple things right up to becoming your full one man cloud provider.
Now do you have a static IP / dns system in place along with a fast always on, always connected server to make that useful? If so, why not go all out and run something like Owncloud or Seafile?
I know right. Nothing is new or innovative if I don't bother even remotely looking up what makes it different. What are those people even thinking making something that I think works exactly like Miracast!
Sorry but the differences between Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise are the differences that only Slashdot users and tech heads salivate about. The overwhelming vast majority of the world doesn't give a shit about telemetry, or selecting exact updates to install and having access to Windows 10 enterprise doesn't change the big problems: Windows 10 is different, it has different requirements, different interface, different way of operating, and people don't like their cheese moved.
MS isn't targeting a bunch of nerds with nag alerts.
Implying that people actually give a crap about telemetry? Here's a factbomb for your cluestick: MS doesn't care about 100 or so vocal Slashdot users. The vast majority of users who haven't upgraded couldn't give 2 shits about telemetry.Windows 10 not working on their hardware on the other hand is something people care about, Windows 10 interrupting them is what they care about, moving of their cheese is something that they care about.
No it didn't. What worked wonders for XP is the same thing that worked wonders for previous versions of windows: IT was moving at pace and your 2 year old computer was a slow dog that needed upgrading. People got XP predominantly via OEM licenses, something that doesn't happen as much these days where a 5 year old computer is actually quite sufficient for most tasks.
It was repeated in every major newspaper. The story itself stemmed from one news paper which when repeatedly pressed for more information came up with nothing.
That's not fake news, that's unverified news. Fake news is when the president on the record with evidence does one thing and then claims he didn't moments later.
here's no telling what particular brand of LSD they've been eating lately wherein they believe that alt-tab isn't the most important key combination in windows
You say that as if it hasn't been replaced by an alternative that provides the original function + a lot more. Try hitting windows+tab at some point. You can still switch applications, + actually manage your virtual desktops.
When it fails, the stall protection algorithm thinks the plane is stuck in a nose up orientation, and tries to force the nose down... into the ground.
Incidentally what is noted from this incident so far is that the rate of ascent during the latest accident was irregular. I don't mean rate of descent either before someone tries to be funny about all crashes having an irregular ascent.
To be fair: All crash landings* involve problems with vertical ascension
If you're going to be pedantic crash landings involve problems with vertical descension;-)
Thus, it is unsurprising to see two accidents on takeoff in a row, often with completely different causes.
The problem was more specific than just "during takeoff". Both aircraft showed similar irregularities with their rate of ascent during takeoff. You are of course still right and this is still speculation, but these issues seem to have a lot in common.
It is very difficult to believe that the company that got the world into this situation is the one that will get us out of it.
No it's not. The situation was created through errors and negligence that were supported by a closed and punishment free working environment. The company none the less is full of intelligent experts within their field.
With the eyes of the world looking over them and their local regulators bearing down on them it is perfectly believable that they are among the best placed to get us out of a bad situation, they have more to lose than ever.
Comparing this to Chernobyl is silly. They are very different accidents, with very different scenarios, with very different systemic causes, overseen by a very different political environment, in a very different time in history.
Radio-isotopes bio-accumulate in the environment, they do not dilute.
Either you don't know the meaning of bio-accumulate, the meaning of the word dilute, or the size of the environment.
Just because something can bio-accumulate doesn't mean it isn't also diluted when released into a large environment.
The GP was right, the original assertion that "massive long term damage" is done, used in the same sentence as "soil and ocean" is sensationalist. The only massive long term damage will be in the immediate vicinity of the reactor.
Except we do have information. One has gone through accident investigation that hasn't been published yet, but has been completed and was serious enough that 2 advisories have been issued. It would appear as though there actually is a problem in these aircraft. Both crashed during takeoff. Both had problems with vertical ascension. One had a specific advisory on instruments used during ascending.
You're right it'll remain somewhat speculative until both incidents have gone through a complete review, but there are already indications pointing to systemic issues rather than just pure coincidence.

No, the idea was to save electricity
The concept of DST predates electricity, but you're on the right track. Think more oil and candle wax.

Yeah because when they own your desktop computer your biggest concern is that they may also own your toy phone.

Both are true, and both are false depending on who is asking for money.
