I doubt the jobs where you don't enjoy any level of trust are the ones where you get paid well or get any kind of dignified treatment.

I recently saw a job ad for a JavaScript specialist where the position entailed having screenshots and keyboard + mouse tracking to monitor your working hours. It was a freelancer position, so the hire would handle taxes and health insurance, no equipment would be provided and working hours would start at 08:00 German time sharp for at least nine hours or until you "finish the daily tasks". Pay would however be for 189 hours per month, no compensation for sick leave/holidays/vacation, and you'd be paid via upwork.com (with you paying Upwork's fees) in US dollars.
> the blowback from the missing data here might be strong enough to be able to get it passed anyway

Nice pun.

What do you think would have been gained from the CVR data in this case? Do you think pilot error had anything to do with the door-plug failure? Do you think the CVR was left running on purpose/accident?

If I were one of those pilots, the first words out of my mouth probably would have been, "what the $&#*?!" followed by whatever procedure had been drilled into me for rapid-depressurization. Given the scenario, I wouldn't lose any sleep over forgetting to shutoff the CVR in the mess of getting everyone to safety.
it's technically a recall, which no longer means "taking the vehicle to the service center". Not sure exactly what you're complaining about as the article says this clearly.
Aviate comes before navigate and communicate. The pilot in charge is ultimately responsible for the safety of the aircraft, not ATC.

I feel like the word unambiguously describes exactly what it is, which is all I can really ask for from a word.

"Lesson" by itself might connote a more concrete transmission of knowledge (like a school lesson). Which is a meaningful distinction if the goal of the article is merely to muse about lessons they've learned rather than imply that this is a lesson from the writers to the audience. "Lesson learned" could imply the same thing, but is longer to say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I get what the comments here are saying about it sounding corporate, but I think this is a unique situation where this word actually makes sense.

Very similar story for my team, incl. the 2x cert expiry cluster disasters early on requiring a rebuild. We migrated from Kubespray to kOPs (with almost no deviations from a default install) and it's been quite smooth for 4 or 5 years now.

I traded ELK for Clickhouse & we use Fluentbit to relay logs, mostly created by our homegrown opentelemetry-like lib. We still use Helm, Quay & Drone.

Software architecture is mostly stateless replicas of ~12x mini services with a primary monolith. DBs etc sit off cluster. Full cluster rebuild and switchover takes about 60min-90min, we do it about 1-2x a year and have 3 developers in a team of 5 that can do it (thanks to good documentation, automation and keeping our use simple).

We have a single cloud dev environment, local dev is just running the parts of the system you need to affect.

Some tradeoffs and yes burned time to get there, but it's great.

I began to notice this phenomenon on internet discussions/forums tied to mental health, physical health, and drugs (illiegal and legal). The discussions themselves attract anxious people who are using the internet to validate and reassure themselves.

Different brew methods extract differing amounts from the coffee, so the amount of water is indeed consequential. Same grams of coffee in to a pour-over vs espresso would result in different amounts of extracted coffee material consumed.
The plastics one needs to be done through legislation and collaboration with industry… there are so many products where consumers don’t have a choice - the manufacturers need to take the responsibility for eliminating single-use packaging that doesn’t biodegrade or recycle.

> The answer is that birth rate needs to decline and the human population needs to level off and then also decline to sustainable levels.

I agree that's an answer, but is it the answer?

It seems like reproduction rates in wealthy countries trend closer towards replacement levels, so perhaps you "just" need to get everybody's standard of living up to western levels to take population growth out of the equation.

Then you're left with supporting roughly our current population level which seems... entirely feasible?

Between existing but underutilized techniques like fission, renewables, smarter land use and management for agriculture (read: focus on producing more efficient crops and less on the intensive stuff like cows), retrofitting buildings with better insulation, and building out more efficient transit, it seems like we could get pretty close with current levels of technology.

Nevermind the developments we continue to make. Fusion power would immediately solve a lot of problems.
The absolute void of interest to enforce the law is the problem here, not finding offenders.

I'm my area, all it would take is a cop to watch the main drag and start enforcing speed limits and state and local noise ordinances and it would stop. But they don't because they are not interested. In part because they or their children partake in the hobby of harassing people in their homes a mile and a half away. Another part is its easier to ticket people late for work because they won't run like the noise makers do.
Oh. A pity. In my head it would’ve been something like a poor man’s SIEM, monitoring traffic and keeping track of who has been accessing what on my home network.

OP is comparing Canada to other developed nations. Canada is pretty subpar compared to most places in EU or US on all fronts: weather, housing, quality of life, innovation and salaries.

I'm guessing that many of the terms in this thread are buzzwords for many of us reading it :), since relatively few people work on mainframes.

I had not heard of the term buzzword bingo before, so I googled it:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzzword_bingo

Interesting. It aligns with my corporate experience in a few cases.
Ok? What percentage of workers similar to you have been laid off like you have? Is your experience the minority or the majority? Your personal experience really doesn't mean anything. It absolutely certainly doesn't allow you to make absolutist sweeping statements like "no amount of effort will save you from layoffs. The only thing that will save you is luck".

You've been laid off on average once every 2 years. I've been laid off once in 19 years. Did I just get lucky? Does it really just all come down to luck like you claim? Or is there more that goes into it? Maybe someone could do the math - if everyone had the same "luck" as you, what are the odds that I made it 19 years with only 1 layoff?
I see no problem with leveraging best-of-breed terms like learning.

Just in last couple of years I can recall DataDog being down for most of the day and Roblox took something like 72h outage. If huge public companies managed, you probably can too. I'd argue that unless real monetary damage was done it's actually worse for the customer to experience many small-scale outages than a very occasional big outage.
This take always feels very "get off my lawn" to me. Have you tried it?

My feed is woodworkers showing their techniques, physicists talking about strange discoveries, and developers talking about what you can do with ai.

This is an old system that works well and reliably for pretty much every incident. I’m not aware of another case of this sort of thing (relevant flight recorder data being overwritten) happening in recent years anyway. If you spend time constantly upgrading systems like this you’re asking for a higher failure rate, for very little gain.

That said, there’s a standard and reliable 25-hour flight voice recorder that solves this problem. But it’s only used outside the US. That’s a regulatory inertia situation and I suspect this incident will speed changes in this area.

However, finally, and particularly in relation to your proposal of streaming cockpit voice recordings to some cloud server. There is some resistance to this (and to longer recordings in general) from air crew on privacy grounds. The privacy issue is less about how much personal info is revealed in a crash situation and more about how easy it would be for a bad actor in management —or whatever operations group runs the audio storage—to listen in on conversations. And you can be sure this would happen if something like your system were implemented without the appropriate regulatory controls (and tbh even with them it would probably still happen).
Reminds me of an exchange from Stranger Things (S4E3):

School counselor: Max, I'm… I'm sorry, I… I really can't discuss this. You wouldn't want me talking to any other students about you, right?

Max: If I were dead and it would help catch the killer, then yeah, I most definitely would.

The whole point of a business is to make a profit: I worked hard because I am middle aged and had no retirement savings - my other choice was FIRE or to suck on the government's teat. Running a "business" for status is defined as a hobby.

1 in 10 businesses survive. Why bother starting one if you don't get your 10x return? If you've got one, why bother trying to be a serial entrepreneur if it's all gonna be taxed? Do you think New Zealand should leave the entrepreneurship to the USA and we can just buy what we need from US multinationals?

> The incentive is it’s still a fuckton more money.

It just isn't. The people I know earning way more than I don't have anything significantly better. Mostly a nice house and a nice car and if they're lucky a bach.

Marginal incentives matter. Over 50% of my personal income goes on taxes including GST.

My life is similar to most any professional worker. I have never owned a new car. I know solo-mums that didn't work for over a decade with more equity in their home than me. My biggest expense is tax, my second biggest is my mortgage.

Just the rich eh? Everybody else is so much more careful! Watch out with your stereotypes - I'm guessing you don't like them applied to yourself?

According to the plane's "memory items" [1] in response to a cabin altitude warning or rapid depressurization, pilots must:

OXYGEN MASKS - DON

OXYGEN REGULATORS - Set to 100%

CREW COMMUNICATIONS - ESTABLISH

PRESSURIZATION MODE SELECTOR - MAN AC/MAN

OUTFLOW VALVE SWITCH - CLOSE

Hold in CLOSE until outflow Valve indicates fully closed

If Pressurization is Not Controllable

PASSENGER SIGNS - ON

PASSENGER OXYGEN SWITCH - ON

EMERGENCY DESCENT - ANNOUNCE

The pilot flying will advise the cabin crew, on PA system, of impending rapid descent. The pilot monitoring will advise ATC and obtain area altimeter setting.

PASSENGERS SIGN - ON

DESCENT - INITIATE

I do giggle a little at the thought of a door flying off, the air rushing out of the cabin, and the pilots responding by switching the seatbelt light on.

The plane was only at 16,000 feet when it lost its door and according to [2] you've got 20-30 minutes of 'useful consciousness' at such an altitude, even without your oxygen mask on. So there was no need for an abrupt dive.

>I'd be curious to know [...] whether management is actually allowing the quality department sufficient independence to investigate these issues and fully resolve them

If management in the aerospace industry works like management in the software industry, then I guess they are pushing for results as agressively as possible without much concern about safety or anything else.
Multiple investigations in the past have recovered data from FDR and/or CVR after an extensive high-temperature fire. I do not think that FAA will give that requirement up.
IMHO, you don't quite understand what you are talking about. Your centralized requirement is entirely bogus. If participants wish so, they could use any of the cryptos to run a subnet with an external oracle/moderator. Or even just build moderation right into smart contracts.

“Autopilot comes standard on every new Tesla”

So unless I’m missing something, the Cybertruck has basic Autopilot; the Autosteer (Beta) at least.

With the option to upgrade to Teslas full system.

Given the truck is driving down a straight wide road, the standard Autosteer is very capable and competent.

It doesn’t excuse the driver though.

They are tailored to the traditional mainframe workloads (they do a lot of hardware/software co-design in their mainframe lineup), so I wouldn't expect a mainframe designed for the generic cloud hyperscale workloads.

In any case, I have played with their LinuxONE Community Cloud service (running on the previous-gen z15) and it's very fast. The impression I get is that it doesn't need to wait for IO. There is a ton of very clever engineering on those machines and the z16 is a technological wonder.

I'm very aware of this fact. The issue is that by definition, JSON (or any other non-scalar) cannot be in normalized form, and so what you end up with is devs using RDBMS as a K/V store that has a few joins thrown in.

JSON performance (or JSONB, it really doesn't matter) is abysmal compared to more traditional column types, especially in Postgres due to TOAST.

Properly normalized tables (ideally out to 5NF, but at least 3NF) are what RDBMS were designed to deal with, and are how you don't wind up with shit performance and referential integrity issues.

The problem is crypto has a few solid real projects and a billion loud useless scam/spam projects that make the idea of "crypto" look like its all trash, finding the networks that actually have something to really give to the world is hard.

> because I really appreciate the level of abstraction it supplies

which are?

I am seriously asking. I use docker-compose of some of the things I do but it never occured to me during my 20 years in systems engineering that k8s offers any kind of great abstraction. For small systems it is easy to use docker (for example running a database for testing). For larger projects there are so many aternatives to k8s that are better, including the major cloud vendor offerings that I have really a hard time justifying even to consider k8s. After years of carnage that they left, seeing failures after failures, even customers reaching out to me in panic to help them because there are timeouts or other issues that nobody can resolve after selling them the idea that k8s has "great level of abstraction" and putting it to production.

I'm not saying there aren't good use-cases for this. There absolutely are. What I'm saying is that this tool WILL be used well beyond those cases in ways that make the internet much worse than the ad and surveillance nonsense we currently have to deal with.

As a thought experiment, consider a truly terrible group of smart and capable people. The kind of people who will exploit this new tool to extract and squeeze every cent from others to themselves without any care for what is destroyed, broken, or ruined. Imagine they do exactly this and become wildly rich. Their uncaring ruthlessness richly rewarded leading to normalization of such tactics which are then taken on by others as just the 'way things are done'. I ask you to consider just how this tool could be used for evil and then know that it will be.

This tool will allow any/all action on a website to be easily monetized. This will mean that eventually EVERY action will be monetized. Oh, and the ads and surveillance? They'll be there too.
