They are continuing to be maintained only because the FAA fought very hard for that ability. The rest of the government does not understand (or care) why the FAA wants to keep "obs…

Don't worry, our government is doing their level best to make GPS the only option for air navigation. After all, we all know that technology NEVER fails, and the sooner we can turn…

The problem is not that society is hierarchical, the problem is that position in the hierarchy rarely maps to expertise or trustworthiness. Instead it usually maps to whoever is be…

"We" don't research it ourselves because we are increasingly taught that we are either too stupid to conduct our own research or not qualified to understand the results, and we mus…

It's not my problem if the math doesn't work, or if my money doesn't pay for me. The contract as presented to me by the government is "You will pay into this system, it provides So…

Does it matter? In the US, we send a sizable portion of our paychecks to the government's Social Security program so it can provide for us in this exact scenario . The government d…

You guys are missing the point entirely. Absolutionism is not about being right, it's about everyone else being wrong and therefore deserving of abuse.

My favorite complaint during development of our simulator was someone who insisted we give them the means to replace the "jingoistic" American markings from the spacecraft so they …

The real problem with it turned out to be that while the software is complete it expected data to be provided from both the crew and the ground at different points in the mission. …

There was also a test of the Apollo Launch Escape System wherein an unmanned CSM was launched on a Little Joe rocket with the plan being to manually trigger the LES at a specific p…

There is also the "You aren't paid to think, you are paid to do exactly what I tell you, nothing more or less!" school of management. I'm not sure how prevalent this attitude is no…

Funny, I've also been lectured in the past but the other direction. I was judged guilty of being unjustifiably optimistic and giving people false hope which will only harm them in …

What will be left for us to work on? Nothing. The wealthy own all of the infrastructure and we are already being priced out of the means of building our own. The proverbial ladder …

None of those concerns approach the level of priority that must be assigned to security. On defense, your security must be perfect forever or you are absolutely defeated. None of u…

That's not relevant though. All concerns are secondary to security and Rust is the only language with security GUARANTEES. No other language is as secure. Therefore, even the worst…

...probably with a referral string that results in them getting paid, too.

Your problem is not to circumvent security policies. Doing that places you at fault for whatever may happen. Reboot and comply fully with all security mandates. When productivity f…
