Sounds like routing software picked up the down link and shunted traffic to the backup link. But yeah, this is akin to trying to push a bowling ball through a garden hose... Sorry, couldn't think of a car analogy.
"...driving one requires the ability to correctly predict what's going to happen far out ahead. That requires foresight and intuition that are difficult to program into computers."
Haven't we heard this before- with normal cars. Granted the physical characteristics are different, and hey PHYSICS, but what exactly makes driving a semi different than a car, as far as programming a computer to drive one? I would think that with increased stopping distances would mean farther forward camera's? or radar. Wider turns means wider camera's/radar. What "Foresight and Tuition" are required that are different from, say, driving a truck with a 5th wheel?
This kind of smacks of Unionism, which, yeah I'd be a little worried too.
That being said... I'm sure to most young folks these days this is prefered to believing that actually working hard at something will eventually pay off.
No. Security is hard. Security in any system is just that, systemic and it's pervasive! Hence, fixing a hard coded admin password and default OPEN WiFi network has, righlty so, scared the beejesus out of this company- prompting them to do a full security audit of the code (hopefully.)
If you can't do the "simple" security fixes, there are far, far, worse security concerns lurking underneath- or in accounting, or maybe the front door to the company has this hitch in it where it doesn't lock just right.
...and who would even WANT a computer in their home?!
If you've ever purchased a house, you know as well as I that there are an assortment of parts for window shades, drawer pulls and knobs, or light fixture parts, that are made out of some plastic composite that are extremely difficult to source. But to be able to take a picture (or 3d panoramic vid, patent pending bitches). Now that really would be useful.
could explain why he could be doing these irrational actions.
Possibly. But it would not explain the rational actions of a co-pilot in distress. Such as, I don't know, communicating with ATC that he was feeling light headed and was turning on auto pilot.
i guess the door could have malfunctioned AND the copilot had a stroke

The odds of a 28 year old stroking out are slim. But the problem here is probability. The statistical probability of, the copilot having a stroke, while either falling against a switch or a mechanical failure of a security door, at the same time (while not having numbers, or being a statistician, Hey, It's slashdot!) I would think would preclude anything but deliberate intention.
Or a compromised Fedex/UPS/USPS. Flash a badge at a driver and tell him to deliver THIS package instead. This Op isnt going to skip a beat, and CISCO get's a few extra bucks.
shouldn't be trying to anticipate who's going to do what. Jesus, we can't stop DDOS attacks NOW! Network Intrusion detection and analysis is complex to the point of the arcane. This smells like a conveneint way to de-anonimize those pesky bitcoin trans. Because, hey, god forbid we should figure out a way to VOTE with those things.
I don't have a probelm with FedEX not delivering a CNC mill. They can choose what kind of liability to accept, or not as the case may be. I don't have an issue with Cody and the DD folks selling CNC mills. I think the issue at hand is fedex claiming they will not be delivering this item under the pretense that it may or may not be illegal to put said mills into the hands of citizens. Which, of course it is legal to make firearms, for yourself. This is a total "We have NO BALLS to stand up for what we believe, so we'regoing to spread some FUD."
And this is what should be pissing everyone off...
It isn't. It can't be. That being said we are talking about a black organization that operates with little to no oversight. Sue the NSA? I'd love to see how this would be accomplished! Ten to one it would get railroaded into some hidden court away from the public where you'd get a swat on the hands and a stern warning that your messing with National Security, terrorists, and `Merica.

He's probably your wife's new Boss... Sorry dude.

You mean to say I can switch Evil providers?! I doubt Verizon would be game.
I thought it was "L0pht Heavy Industries"? Good times, good times.
when the apocalypse comes, you're going to get eaten first.
Just curious... You're parents don't regulate temperature in any way?
This ad? From the No More Campaign.

I wonder if watching this superbowl ad saved this lady's life?
Hey, we fly drones thousands of miles away.
We've been controlling a rover on Mars for years.
I think it's trivial to outsource the simple act of driving if some CEO can make it profitable?

No matter how you look at it. When it comes down to it. You have to trust your pilots. There's just no getting around that...

Just think of the absolute treasure trove of personal data... that google has OCR'd, indexed, and MONETIZED! Damn. I'm with you. Fuq em.
This is it exactly. It's the MERCHANT that pays charge backs, no one else. Which, to be clear, is certainly NOT Apple.
This. Not to mention any number of DMCA violations for exploiting vulnerabilities in the 2G protocol.

Gotta say... If you NEED a windows machine... my windows VirtualBox VM runs better/faster than most windows laptops.
What about the other %99 of actual police work that doesn't involved compromising my rights, we just going to toss it?
