Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

I don't know if the airline industry uses SIS/SIL, but I assume they have an equivalent.

Most stuff at our facilities that carries a SIL-2 rating is under code-lock. Meaning, you have to have a physical key to push code. I can't even imagine what SIL-4 (likely what ATC and actual flying airplanes fall under for critical systems if I had to hazard a guess)

No idea about ATC systems, either. Actual software that flies airplanes is certified under RTCA's DO-278, not IEC 61508. DO-278 recognizes 4 basic criticality levels:

Level D: virtually no testing required. Think inflight entertainment systems.
Level C: Annoyance if the software has bugs. Think maintenance monitoring software that may drive false maintenance actions.
Level B: Errors could degrade redundancy of on-board systems but can't, in and of itself, crash the plane. Errors could require significant pilot intervention/workload to manage. Think software that moves fuel around the airplane or controls the (multiple redundant) hydraulic systems.
Level A: The good stuff. Software works or people die. This requires "branch level" testing, where you prove that you have tested every single permutation of every possible path through the code. Uber expensive - takes banks of computers running 24/7 for 6-24 months (depending on code complexity) to get through all the test cases.

I plan on asking my family member about this but considering he was working yesterday while delta had the sea tac accident I’m holding off a day
 
Speaking of hysterical- every time the roe c wade overturn was brought up, one of our (I think mass) posters would say he was sorry for saying it wouldn’t be overturned. I believe he worked in hospital IT? I’m drawing a blank on name but where has he been? He was a great poster

Pretty sure you're referring to Haunted/Swansong.

If they want bend over with no lube for daddy Donnie , they can carry it to term

I am pretty sure they would not because of the nature of the (not a) buyout. The Feds for sure would block it and force the person to appeal.

Thing is, if they really wanted to have experts in efficiency come in and fix the way the Government spends money I would be all for it. (lets pretend this is all on the up and up) Bringing in the clown who bought Twitter for double its evaluation, didn't have due diligence done and has all but bankrupted it based solely on his decisions is not the route I would have gone.
 
The latest MAGA deflection on SM is claiming opposition to Musk heading the DOGE is hypocritically fixated on him being unelected in order to avoid admitting that the opposition is actually that he's unqualified and nothing he does will be for the benefit of the majority of taxpayers.
 
I know everyone hates Rachel Maddow now but she did a fantastic report on the shutdown of USAID.

Kansas farmers are getting boned by the shutdown. Along with America's involvement in an African Ebola response.
