Sounds like another reason not to use Chrome.

I'm hoping you just forgot an /s. But just in case, there's nothing 'ordinary' about it. Unless you are talking about the 'new ordinary'.

By the sounds of it, they had a lot of miles under their belt.

You have to wonder how they ended up dead? What happened to the EPIRB? Did they not have a PLB? GPS and Portable Radio?

I don't know for sure, but I suspect there aren't many pirates in the middle of the Atlantic.

I gather that many larger ships often either have malfunctioning AIS or don't have it turned on.

AIS is a system that pings identity and location to other ships, and can set off alarms to warn of impending collisions at sea.

Isn't this just more of what caused the problem in the first place? Namely, centralisation. If you store data locally and you lose a machine, that's bad but not the end of the world. If you store it centrally and you lose the data, that's catastrophic. Nassim Taleb nailed this stuff. Keep the downside limited, and the upside unlimited or as he says, "Don't pick up pennies in front of a steamroller."

 

We are currently looking for mods to help moderate Ask Lemmy on lemmy.world.

AskLemmy is the fourth largest community on lemmy.world and has an active member community. Mods will need to be able to do a quick check one or more times a day, most days of the week. Checks typically only take a minute or two, although on occasions they may take longer.

Please DM me or reach out on Matrix if interested. @bluetreefrog:matrix.org

 

Ask Lemmy is a place to ask thought provoking questions. The mods have been lenient with some of the recent posts on the basis that they must provoke thought for some people, but after seeing two posts essentially saying "what do you think of my stick?", I believe we can raise the bar a bit on what kind of thoughts we want to provoke here.

No more low effort posts please.

 

Scientists tell us that being connected and active is one of the secrets to having meaningful and fulfilling life when older. What activities and connections are you planning on pursuing?

 

I think I'm going to start learning Rust. Can anyone suggest a good IDE to use?

 

Might explain why Long Island Audit is getting so much heat from Nassau Police at the moment. He's a threat to their cozy arrangement.

 

Tell us why we should unexpectedly come to love your hobby.
