WalterBright 32 minutes ago | parent | context | favorite | on: U.S. is said to open criminal inquiry into Boeing I'd be careful about over-regulation and liabilities (especially criminal liability). Such has completely crushed the general aviation business. This is why Cessnas flying today are all from the 1960s. Their engines require leaded gas, which is a big problem, but regulation and liability has made it impractical to develop a modern engine. I.e. not only is innovation crushed by regulation, liability also prevents any new designs, because new designs always carry an element of risk. Criminal liabilities mean people will do their best to deny it and cover it up, rather than fix it. The incredible safety of aviation today is not the result of punishing people who make mistakes.

tracecomplete posted:Not to speak positively of Bright*, but Experimental and GA are different things, and it is really hard to bring to market new GA aircraft and equipment, even something that engages in such breathtakingly modern stuff as "doesn't use leaded gasoline". experimental and certified are both subsets of GA. they influence each other quite a bit. after all the biggest recent development in certified GA is cirrus and they got their start selling experimental kitplanes. (speaking of cirrus, any time someone tries to claim GA is still just 1950s cessnas, lol. lmao.) on leaded gas, there is a new unleaded fuel, G100UL, which runs in unmodified 100LL engines. it may go on sale in some california airports this year. it faces an uphill battle, but a lot of it's due to pushback from industry, not regulators resistance from industry happens all the time, after all. whenever it's easier and cheaper to make money by maintaining the status quo, and there's significant barriers to entry, expect stagnation. as for the faa, their official stance is a push to eliminate leaded avgas by 2030. i'm not going to claim that the faa as a whole has been doing its best encouraging this to actually happen, it is a deeply flawed agency, but reducing the situation to "regulators hold us back", as bright did, is disingenuous_libertarianism.txt ultimately certified GA's problems with slow technical progress come down to "safe flight is loving hard, and expensive". experimental is often cheaper and definitely tries a lot of new ideas, but is also much less safe

BobaFloutist 15 minutes ago | root | parent | next [–] I can see someone whistle-blowing in good faith, realizing they made a mistake and called out the company for something that it wasn't doing or something that wasn't actually a problem, and killing themselves. I can also see someone whistle-blowing in good faith, getting harassed by ex-coworkers/managers or the court of public opinion, and just getting overwhelmed by the negative attention and feeling bad for the betrayal and killing themselves. I can't really see a company faking the suicide of someone that already whistleblew and got national attention. That seems like a great way to exacerbate a problem that, if you leave it alone, probably won't be made worse by your leaving it alone. Like, what, a Boeing executive hired an assassin off the dark web with the click of a button to kill someone that already did the thing he was going to do? Executives can make some pretty poor decisions, so I'm not going to say it's impossible, but it would be a pretty wild mistake to make. reply

perihelions 2 hours ago | undown | prev [–] I think it's fine if libraries die out. The pirate libraries are superior in every way, for every class of reader. And they'll only get better over time. A pirate can search 10 million works and seamlessly switch to reading one. How can the Balkanized e-book library model possibly keep up? A pirate can run a local LLM for natural-language queries, and find a semantic needle in a thousand-page haystack; or select a dozen excerpts and present them side-by-side for immediate comparison. How can the clunky system of DRM-locked lending e-book readers compete? Near-future. A personal LLM could track a researcher's progress page by page, and pro-actively recommend reading suggestions for an individual chapter from an individual book from a million-volume library—and instantly display it, highlighting special lines, glossing words, annotating jargon, hyperlinking (other) books, writing explanations in the marginalia, translating languages. Transformative creations. What's the poor schmuck stuck in Andrew Carnegie's library doing? The capability gulf is going to grow unfathomably wider. People who read to learn, to comprehend, to get things done, who care about their childrens' education, will undoubtedly end up choosing the superior tools. The other half is going to become a sad cautionary tale

It's also very telling that they consider libraries to only be a warehouse for books. These days libraries tend to be complete community centers with workspaces and 3D printers and gaming rooms and tool lending etc. Almost like they haven't been to a library in decades.

thatsmenownot 1 hour ago [flagged] [dead] | parent | context [–] | on: On limitations that hide in your blindspot Aged 14 or 15, i had a girlfriend, freckle-faced with long red curly hair, twenty years ago i met a woman, the first thing i asked her was: "You seem to act like someone knowing me, may i ask you to give me any colour on that ?" She clarified the situation and the second thing i said, was (remembering) her name followed: "How tall you gained!", she smiled, so i said: "Hey, now that i am looking at your beautiful smile, it felt like i have to make a dentist meeting, to get my tooth cleaned again." So if you say going from Y to Z over Inspiration you may ask... "Conclusion: Had you noiced how expensive girls...?" Questioning: Was that an "80 Points!" answer-enough?

re: the eu banning anonymous crypto wallets 627467 1 hour ago | prev | next [–] What is great about these overreaches is how it keeps eroding the blind trust that many "rule of law" societies have towards their institutions and rules. Extreme parties advocating extreme measures are on the rise, marginal groups having oversized exposure and influence in those societies, informalization of social relationships. At some point Europeans need to feel comfortable living like many do in Asia, Africa an South America: at the edge of the law and "decency". reply
