Idiotic management + outsourcing in that nation for peanuts + idiotic management ^ 2 ("Former Boeing software engineer Mark Rabin told Bloomberg that a manager said at an all-hands meeting that senior engineers were no longer required at the company.") = disaster where people lost lives and they will lose anything down to their backport and beyond.
I wonder if the savings they had outsourcing to that nation compensate the losses they already had (1 billion in a quarter) and the ones they will have for the decades to come. My guess is no, they spent a lot to save very little.

The problem is that there are a huge amount of managers who are still thinking the same way, ignoring what the investigations are bringing up to light and living in their bubble where they are the smartest pals around.

It's the "yes but my situation is different" and "ok but I'm smarter" mentality that elephants them every single time.
I believe Boeing management in its entirety should be removed from charge and removed from any management charge in their lifetime.

I don't want my bacon smoked, not cultured!
Sitting having a discussion with a rasher of bacon (who, obviously, smokes using a long cigarette holder, whilst he sips his brandy) about, oh, I don't know, the Shakespeare/Francis Bacon nonsense, would make for an absolutely cr@ppy breakfast experience!

Quote: Nevertheless, assuming that the universe is finite and therefore the resources of potential simulators are finite, then a volume containing a simulation will be finite and a lattice spacing must be non-zero, and therefore in principle there always remains the possibility for the simulated to discover the simulators. from: "Constraints on the Universe as a Numerical Simulation" pdf download of 90% incomprehensible (to me) mathematics and physics available: [^]
Would a scientifically valid proof that our reality is a simulation make a difference ?
If, as the paper comments, the current simulation we experience as "reality" could be a creation of our future selves using some future open-source method, then, extrapolating from the current humongous messes found in today's open-sauce projects, might we postulate the future mess of the simulationsource code would render our proving we are in a simulation impossible.
Or, we could be in the equivalent of tv-dramas like Dynasty, The Sopranos ?

If so, the bit with me in is going to be pretty dull - but probably mean it's broadcast after the watershed.

If we live in a simulation and discover it we left with only a few options (IMHO):
1. Take soma from "Brave New World"...
2. Go deep into depression and became a dying simulation
3. Try to go on and figure out how we can take over the control of the simulation (hoping that it will be in time)...

Of course we're a simulation.
This is an actual discussion of future developers:
Dev 1: Well, the baseline seems fine, let's go with this.
America.President.Color = Colors.White;
git commit
git push Dev 2: Lol, look at them doing wars about skin color and such, now let's mess 'em up real good!
America.President.Color = Colors.Black; Dev 1: Yo fam, that's wicked lol me like XD
git commit
git push Dev 1: Hey man, I've got this awesome idea! This will certainly make them go bonkers!
America.President.Gender = Genders.Female; Dev 2: Lmao, and while we're playing with genders anyway, what about this?
public enum Genders
{
Male,
Female,
Shemale,
ApacheHelicopter,
Dev 1: Hahaha! Awesome! So maybe we shouldn't mess with the president's gender just yet... Let me revert that real quick...
git checkout AmericanPresident.cs Dev 2: So, got any better idea's?
Dev 1: Well, I liked your black color, so let's just explore some more colors.
America.President.Color = Colors.Orange; Dev 2: Rofl, and maybe we can do something like make him a pop singer in 2020!
Dev 1: Haha, let's think about that some more. So we good?
Dev 2: Yeah man, let's get this sh*t deployed XD
git commit
git push Dev 1: We should totally share our findings with the Europe dev team!
Dev 2: By the way, heard anything from the sys admins? I heard our servers are now running at 100% CPU most of the time, some servers already overheated...

Quote: “It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection. The fact of the matter is that the 'real world' is to a large extent unconsciously built upon the language habits of the group. No two languages are ever sufficiently similar to be considered as representing the same social reality. The worlds in which different societies live are distinct worlds, not merely the same world with different labels attached. We see and hear and otherwise experience very largely as we do because the language habits of our community predispose certain choices of interpretation.” Edward Sapir, 1929
