Therac-25 is an important software-development case study but a torturous stretch of "Using a computer wrong"

Anyway, this is the opening scene of Season 2 and it feels eerily spot on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDu0b6nxMjY
But importantly, the first officer had almost a year more experience in the 767, which sets the stage for an almost textbook imbalance: having to speak up to someone senior to you, someone older and with more overall experience, but less direct experience in the airplane they are flying
Other comments talk about The Rehearsal Season 2, which is spot on. The FAA of course had dismissed the idea that there needed to be any special focus on training pilots to speak up, saying it's already under the umbrella of CRM (crew resource management)
In a world of eye-poppingly hot takes, I commend your ability to somehow raise the bar
Bonus points for dismissing things like "you can change the world without getting approval from other people" (you could hardly ask for a more substantive topic to debate in moral philosophy than one's freedom to affect other people) as mere valence-level "how can good feeling != good feeling" sophistry
Not only to understand the usage of features, but also use cases perhaps to design even better features
If I'm graded on getting tickets done or getting some feature out, then meeting with users may be beneficial and the right thing to do but incentives turn it into swimming upstream...
Hold on, why is it rarely used?
Is it hard to use? Is it hard to find? Was it poorly named? Does it work right? Does it get me 80% of the way there? Does it get me 20% of the way there? Do I rarely need it but when I do need it it's a huge time saver? Am I hesitant to depend on it because I fear it will be taken away in a future update?
Banks are required to return your money to you if they close your account. I wasn't talking about the various ways in which funds might be frozen (which go far beyond KYC/AML), for which my only point there was that merely being asked about a wire transfer was not it. Not all banks even ask in all situations

Maybe next time take a deep breath and count to 10. Best of luck to you.
But let's assume you're 99th percentile and won't get scammed or will own up to it and eat the loss (talk is usually cheap and plentiful on that point). I'm not sure how often you interact with the general public but suffice it to say that the "expected value" of banks asking why their clients are performing an unusual and largely irrevocable transaction (in contrast to paying a merchant with a credit card) is probably pretty good, just like a cashier asking why you're spending hundreds on Apple gift cards. But also you're assuming that it's always going to be "you" that they are asking: if your account was compromised (and everyone thinks they're too smart to be tricked), should it be easy for someone to just wire all the money out, aaaaaand it's gone?
That's separate from KYC/AML, which I think is a trickier issue. I will say this though, if a bank showed me the door and I had to take my money elsewhere, that would be less problematic than one of the tech giants capriciously deciding to close my account, which I think illustrates the larger issue about a lack of recourse for being arbitrarily locked out of commerce with private businesses in disruptive ways. Itself a cousin of terms of service that force you to give up rights, and can be changed at any time
As an aside, I don't think you need to make sneering personal attacks to make your points
The fact that applying that to produce "South America" which is a real place--and a continent at that--precisely amplifies the absurdity
I have to say, though: inverting the trope of "you can't make people laugh at a joke by explaining why it's funny" by trying to stop people from laughing at a joke by explaining why it isn't funny is a truly Kaufman-esque bit of comedy
Wire transfers are also a common source of fraud; it's common for banks to ask about them so their customers don't unwittingly send their money into a black hole
Where? Are you replying to the right message?
The UK is likely to be an illustrative example, so it's apt you mentioned it

Say rather that he's apolitical.

Maybe if there are education-tailored AI models strictly limited to explaining and never giving the answer, but even then, how will you know when it's wrong?
