There's no economic incentive to improve consumer printers or develop better drivers. The closest I've gotten to a network printer that "just works" flawlessly is the Brother MFC-L8610. That thing has worked excellently for the last three years and has survived two network migrations without me doing more than plugging it in and assigning it an IP.

My Samsung Color Laser does a great job. Had it like 5 years now, wakes up and prints every time. Just sits quietly in the corner.

that's pretty much what would be needed to secure the public internet or any device connected to it

it will never, ever happen because, as a society, we have decided we can live with the incredible rare event downsides

To be fair: The space shuttle was also not exactly an internet facing device requiring patches to address a continuously evolving threat landscape.

But consider too, if the code were written rigorously in the first place would the threats be as endless or severe? "Code better" wouldn't by itself solve everything but the fact that people are still writing code with buffer overruns in 2021 is shamefully hilarious.

Considering most companies are pushing for faster and faster delivery: Good luck. I agree, it needs to be more rigorous, which is what Pushing Left is about with SAST/DAST tools and Vuln Scanning, but half of coding is being done by outsourced, low cost shops in Pakistan and India on vague requirements where the only thing that matters is delivery.

And China’s by-far largest import supplier of coal: Australia.

Coal still makes up over half of the entirety of China’s energy production, though most os domestically supplied. Trending downward, for a variety of pretty obvious reasons like pollution, investment in renewables, nuclear energy, transition to natural gas, the fact that domestic coal production no longer meets needs, etc, but still China uses about as much coal as the rest of the whole world, and Australia is their number one import source.

And Natural Gas. Australia is now a larger exporter than Qatar.

It's why Australia claiming they are going green is a loving joke.

Here's my hot take:


Elon Musk isn't going to help end child hunger or make earth sustainable, or any of that other bullshit, otherwise he'd be doing that instead of loving around with SpaceX, but it is at least feasible the poo poo SpaceX is doing, failures and all, may actually help push advancement in various tech that may help with the aforementioned problems.

If we removed Elon Musk from the equation, it'll probably do 10x better. He's garbage and Bernie's right to call him out.

Also musk isn’t funding spacex. He’s profiting from government funding. He also is just a name at the top and doesn’t actually do anything.

This too, Musk (much like Bezos) is just using this as his pet billionaire project. NASA and others are funding most the actual work being done.

Blue Origin is actually mostly/partially funded out of pocket by Bezos IIRC, something like $1bn/year of his dragon hoard, while Musk has to sell stock and get government/private launch contracts.

I doubt bank effect played a significant role, you’d have to be going pretty fast already. Suez Canal authority and the ship’s agents are all talking about high winds, there might also have been a blackout.

If you black out and lose the engine, bank effect can very much play a role, especially if you already have the speed. And that's exactly what it looks like happened. Lose engine, try to correct for the loss, gets sucked to the port bank and gets forced hard to starboard.
