Since the NHS were admonished for not installing patches which would have prevented Wanacry in May 2017, Boeing really should have patched their systems by now.
I worked for a company that published salaries. There were a number of issues. These aren't necessarily inevitable, but often go together. The first was that rapid promotion, even for those who obviously deserved it, just did not happen. I think the feeling was "she got promoted last year, what will everyone think if she is promoted again before Bill, who's been there for three years?". One of the two typical career patterns was to join, get one promotion and move on to a higher position elsewhere.
The second issue was that you seemed to have to spend as much time documenting your successes as working. Now some people can be on a project for a week, contribute little, but write an end of year report that makes it sound as though they single-handedly rescued a project. Others feel false "bigging themselves up" for "just doing their job" - even if they are one of the best at it. It seems that the best developers would fall into this category.
Finally, I think because of how public it was, almost everyone got some sort of increment every year, usually a reasonable amount. That meant that there were a lot of people who were not very good, had been with the company for years and were pretty well paid, more than someone with their ability would get in the market.
(I am sure that some people will have twigged by now this was for a government agency)
A multihouse fire a few years ago pointed up the fact that it was impossible to evacuate in an emergency.
In all cases I've seen except one there have been non-vehicle exit points. The one which is the exception is really up-market and spread out, so I would think you could evacuate to somewhere in the grounds.
We have had a lot of estates changed so that they either have only one entrance, others being blocked to motor vehicles by bollards. This helps prevent them from becoming rat runs. They have also put a few "no entry except for access" signs on some as an experiment, but people following sat nav seem to ignore these - not surprising as they even ignore signs that roads are impassable.
Southern California actually has all of those forms of weather, just not in the big cities. Plenty of mountains and deserts to test on if they wish.
South Island of New Zealand has some impressive mountains. Though it does not have large cities, Auckland is a reasonable size. Though it doesn't have much in the way of hot deserts (the Rangipo Desert being a cold desert) it shouldn't be too difficult to get permission to test in the vast empty areas in Australia.
If the Rohingya hadn't come to Myanmar and started demanding privileges, killing and raping it would not have happened. We can see that they are up to the same tricks in Sri Lanka too. We should not criticise, in a generation's time or sooner we will have to do the same in the West or become sharia hell holes.
their change will only go into effect if "the United States Congress amends 15 U.S.C. s. 260a to authorize states to observe daylight saving time year-round."
Just move into a different timezone where standard time is an hour ahead and opt out of daylight savings
They are treated like Whites when it comes to employment restrictions, but treated like foreigners by housing and service providers. The Hindus and Sikhs have it worse, often mistaken as Muslims by people wanting to resist Islam, but being targeted by Muslims themselves.
I have found that explaining things to a trainee, discussing an inquisitive one who wants to know why things are fine a certain way helps you see possible improvements. Also when I was at university I totally messed up a maths problem, where I should have made a simple substitution I tried attaching the whole integration by parts, and ended up with complexity that was behind my ability. My tutor got very excited about my mistake, completed the "wrong method" and said that it was a proof of some sort of equivalence that was new to him.
If he meant fail catastrophically, he would have said fail catastrophically, you fucking troll.
Pot Kettle Black.
If one fails catastrophically you basically have a very large bomb on your hands, of course you've had it at that point. If you're going to chime in here, at least try to advance the discussion with something that's worthwhile.
Let me explain it in simple steps.
The point is that it's worth considering that the chances of one of 31 smaller engines failing could be larger than the chances of one larger engine failing catastrophically. Note I am not saying that it is, the engineering considerations could make larger ones more prone to failure, I'm just saying that it's worth considering. There have been a number of catastrophic rocket engine failures in space history, so it is certainly a possibility. Also, this is different from the data-centre analogy as it is very unlikely that a server failing will destroy the whole data centre.
up to half a dozen engines could fail and the rocket would still make it to orbit
Not if the fail catastrophically. If one blows up you've had it. This is probably more likely than a computer failing and burning down your data centre, so a factor worth considering,

This whole mess is a preemptive strike to outlaw sex robots.
Or maybe the other way round - "why should this sentient being be barred from consensual sex?"

what happens when your gramophone breaks gramps?
Gramophone? - What's wrong with the good old wax cylinders?
Rather tough for people on life support ... "The machine is keeping him alive but we need to switch it off at 19:00"
Might explain why the fucking seppos are so fucking stupid. America, home of the dumbfuck.
Thanks for demonstrating your superior intellect

Or mapcode, which has enough accuracy to inentify individual houses

Is convince a group of people to kill and rape all who don't belong to the group because that's what god wants ... oh wait!
Can we call it Buso Nova?
Why? I assume there is a joke here. Can you explain it.
I think it's a pun on bossa nova.
She called me a human super-nova
Yes, one bang and you're finished
Yes
I like my dumb speakers
Don't need speakers that eavesdrop on me. If I want that I'll use a microphone.
In that case surely you mean you like your deaf speakers.
