Idiocracy: Another Day, Another Collapse of a Foundational System

Where do you think he was on vacation this time?

And how many more systems can collapse before it all comes down?

Essentially the nation is only running due to systems created in the 50s, 60s, and 70s and maintained through the 80s and 90s. They have been left to fallow since then.

And now it's all gone to rot. And the "Educated Class" just sits in DEI meetings and debates pronouns and drag show etiquette all day.

And the systems and tech from the 50s and 60s and 70s is breaking down, as 40-70 tech does.

And our "Educated Class" continues debating pronouns.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration lifted its ground stop order Wednesday morning after suffering a nationwide technical outage causing mass cancellations and delays.
The travel chaos was caused by the failure of the FAA's Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system, which alerts pilots and other personnel about airborne issues and other delays at airports across the country. More than 1,000 flights were canceled in the U.S., and more than 6,700 more flights in the U.S. were delayed, as of 11:30 a.m. ET.
FAA investigators are continuing to search for the cause of the outage.

Secretary Pete Buttigieg
@SecretaryPete
FAA has determined that the safety system affected by the overnight outage is fully restored, and the nationwide ground stop will be lifted effective immediately. I have directed an after-action process to determine root causes and recommend next steps.

Don Wolt
@tlowdon
Replying to @SecretaryPete
I suspect "after-action processes" are initiated automatically following a major outage like the one from last night, and don't require specific direction from the Secretary, but putting this out can give the impression of leadership.

I suspect that too. It didn't reassure me that Mayor Pete's tweet included a picture of a mojito beading water in the Cabo sun.

Both Democrats and Republicans pointed out Bootyjudge's nigh-interrupted string of failures as Secretary of Vacays.

Buttigieg's tenure has been plagued by multiple crises from supply chain snarls to widespread commercial airline delays and he has been criticized for his handling of the issues.
Amid the many crises Buttigieg has faced, the former presidential candidate and mayor of South Bend, Indiana -- who President Biden selected to lead the Transportation Department in January 2021 -- has been hit with criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike.
The transportation secretary recently came under fire after it was revealed he vacationed in Porto, Portugal, while his agency and the White House were locked in tense negotiations with rail worker unions to avert a strike that could have had a dire impact on the U.S. economy. The Department of Transportation said the vacation was a "long-planned personal trip."
Buttigieg was also slammed for his handling of the supply chain crisis in 2021. Throughout the second half of the year, ships were forced to wait off the coast of California due to onshore logjams, as a trucker shortage slowed transportation and rail yards faced massive clogs.
Fox News has reached out to Secretary Buttigieg for comment.

Flights nationwide have been grounded due to FAA computer outages.

Mayor Pete doesn't know what happened or how he is going to fix it.

From supply chain issues to consistent flight cancellations, the DOT job has become too big for him.

Don't worry, though: Congress -- including Mitch McConnell's 12 Heroes of Conservative Budgeting -- have directed 2023's spending to fix the Real Problems at the FAA.

If you’re surprised that the FAA’s systems went down this morning grounding all domestic flights, you shouldn’t be.

Below are DOT and FAA’s approps focus in the 2023 budget:

This was 29+ years ago. Almost all are now retired and the number of folks who actually know what they’re doing is exceedingly rare. We keep putting out product on inertia acquired from these experts. Lots of hand wavers and talkers around now who couldn’t design or fix a thing. Making collapse inevitable

238 Let's be honest about ol' Pete's skillset: prior to being mayor (and what was noteworthy about his performance st that? I digress) he was. . . a consultant. A McKinsey consult, then a DC defence shop's consultant.

And it seems that's all he can do: come in, analyze, come up with a bullet list of important-sounding suggestions on how to fix/improve things and then he's done. He cannot lead, he has no experience leading -- he is detached, as consultants are. They are hired to find more work, suggest this additional work, and then charge more money to do this work, which then leads to. . . suggestions for more work. If you've had the pleasure of working with big consulting firm consultants, then you know the drill. They are there to log billable hours, not fix things, not really. And they don't care about your organization.

We may be predisposed to spiritual thoughts, but that's on an individual level. Religious behavior engages when we try to share visions of the Ideal. It's simply the social behavior of a cultivated, collective vision, which often gets enforced by stake-holders.

How could be put that away, but by a shared vision of the value of putting that away? If there is any resistance and clapback from the enforcement of that, then we see the behavior to which we derogatively refer as "religion".

From what I remember back in the day, part of it was security by obscurity as the DoD did not promote broader use of Ada, another part was security in the sense that Ada compilers are strict in what they allow to pass regarding memory buffers, and variable types, and so on. I think Ada was partially modeled after Pascal and Modula2 but I could be misremembering. Only saw examples of Ada code and never actually worked with it back when I was doing computer stuff.

272 Back in the early '80's at Ft Lewis in Washington State, the Army had a rebuild center. This was a classic old time factory. They could literally bring in a beat up tank or howitzer and in a couple of weeks, completely rebuild it. I remember a huge bender in there, at least 30 feet long that was used to bend and curve large pieces of metal. I asked the guy giving us a tour, who runs this? He said no one now. The last guy who knew how had retired and no body new had learned to use it.

276 Good morning, y’all. Well my little Mayor Pete has done it again. If anyone has ever been to South Bend for any period of time, no one is surprised by this outcome, except perhaps Biden. I will say it for the 85th time, Pete is truly the nicest person. This is perhaps his downfall, outside of his political affiliation. He couldn’t lead people out of a paper bag because he would be spending the time in focus groups actively listening and affirming the thoughts of everyone in that bag with him, and his plan would try to incorporate the thoughts of every single person in some way, shape or form to validate them. So the plan would be 800 pages long and people would be circling haphazardly in the bag, some might have hands up or even their hair on fire. And then it would change because someone else spoke up. What would never happen is Pete yelling “Shut up, line up single file behind me, right hands grab this rope and march forward toward the light NOW!”

282 We may be predisposed to spiritual thoughts, but that's on an individual level. Religious behavior engages when we try to share visions of the Ideal. It's simply the social behavior of a cultivated, collective vision, which often gets enforced by stake-holders.

How could be put that away, but by a shared vision of the value of putting that away? If there is any resistance and clapback from the enforcement of that, then we see the behavior to which we derogatively refer as "religion".

331 Heard a tale on the news this morning. A young woman stopped at a Twin Peaks in Baton Rouge. In the ladies' room she saw a poster for a drink (she thought) called an Angel Shot. She asked her server what it was, and requested an Angel Shot with a twist of lime. Two cops showed up and issued her a ticket for false use of police resources.

Turns out the notice was actually advising women that they could issue this coded request about an Angel Shot if they felt unsafe with their date. "Angel Shot with lime" meant "Call the police"! But she didn't see that (small white letters on black paper, and she didn't have her glasses on), and the server didn't tell her when asked. But now she's had to pay a fine and is barred from drinking in public for 6 months or something.

Yup. My mom got busted for something *similar*.

She had an old Bronco. It had one of those plastic air deflectors on the front of the hood. But it was red.

One day she got pulled over by a cop and got a fixit ticket, because it was red and could me misinterpreted as an emergency vehicle.

She didn’t have a few extra thousand dollars lying around to fight the case, so off it came.

Meh.

The cabinet has ALWAYS been about satisfying different parts of a coalition. In the early days of the Republic, it was about making sure New York and Virginia were happy, so they brought in the biggest political names from those states that could survive senate confirmations. That wasn't a recipe for elevating competence either.

The makeup of the coalition is just now different. They have victim groups, not states, to appease.

It also bans "switches" -- devices which convert legal handguns into assault weapons -- and additionally extends the ability of courts to prevent "dangerous individuals" from owning a gun through firearm restraining orders, the governor's office said.

Under the new law, those who already own weapons on the banned list can keep them, but need to register them with Illinois State Police within 300 days."

I wonder if a phone call from family or a concerned citizen to cops saying they think someone is dangerous is enough to have cops steal their guns?

415 and you are required by regulation to get "all available information" about your flight, including applicable NOTAMs, before flying. So, you're not supposed to fly if you can't get the NOTAMs.

If you can't get them, then they're not available right?

When every "worker" in every Federal agency is finally hired for DIE, take heart that in a generation or so the private sector from somewhere will need to step in and teach people how to function again.

Flight delays for organs: Here's why the donation transportation system needs to change

In part, "New regulations that were enacted after the Sept. 11 attacks have meant that organs need to travel as freight when they are shipped by air, which extends the time it takes them to get from donor to recipient. They often have to arrive at the airport hours before a flight and can take extra time to be unloaded and get to the transplanting hospital."

"Any breakdown in transportation is unacceptable because that means that a patient can't get their organs," United Network for Organ Sharing interim CEO Maureen McBride told USA TODAY.

Part of the problem is that they've been cleared out, and often replaced by contractors who import h1bs. Additionally, these systems are often way outdated, as no administrator wants to take the hit by asking for money to upgrade them.

Fox did show them out of order, but some of that IMO is defensible. The one that's supposed to be first is kind of a hard slog to watch and the series would've failed immediately instead of 6 episodes later if they'd aired them in order.

524 As an IT person these types of system failures fascinate me, so I rummaged around the FAA website a bit.

In reading the PDFs one thing that struck me was the vagueness of where the NOTAM database actually resides. There are references to the "NOTAM System computer" (singular) or "NS computer" (singular) and that's it.

The database is probably small by modern standards, so it might actually be a single computer, perhaps periodically backed up to a second one. I wonder if the main computer died and the backup didn't work, possibly because nobody tested the recovery procedure for a long time.

536 In part, "New regulations that were enacted after the Sept. 11 attacks have meant that organs need to travel as freight when they are shipped by air, which extends the time it takes them to get from donor to recipient. They often have to arrive at the airport hours before a flight and can take extra time to be unloaded and get to the transplanting hospital."

"Any breakdown in transportation is unacceptable because that means that a patient can't get their organs," United Network for Organ Sharing interim CEO Maureen McBride told USA TODAY.

Charisma Carpenter: Thumbs up
Gal who played Fred: thumbs up
Summer Glau (once she had aged a bit more): Thumbs up
Eliza Dushku: Thumbs down

Amy Acker: Thumbs up.

583 The database is probably small by modern standards, so it might actually be a single computer, perhaps periodically backed up to a second one. I wonder if the main computer died and the backup didn't work, possibly because nobody tested the recovery procedure for a long time.

Or they moved it up to AWS and forgot to update the credit card info to keep it online.

585 Decades ago, back when I was an employed person, the company I worked for had a division that worked federal projects, one of which was developing the replacement air traffic control systems for the FAA. Based on what was known in other parts of the company it was a classic case of the feddle gummint totally f@#king up. Over many years the designs and specs changed and changed again such that nothing was ever actually built as many dollars flowed from taxpayer wallets.

Based on this event it appears that in the couple of decades since I stopped hearing about this, nothing has changed.

586 I saw something where a black actor is calling out Hollywood for racism because they won't let him play a bad guy."

For some reason I decided to watch a random episode of Night Court last night.

In it Harry is put before a board due to a complaint by a selfish go-getter coworker judge who openly just wanted to "get him". Said co-judge was black.

It was jarring - like watching TV in a foreign country.

587 If I were an airplane manufacturer or an airline, I'd be really nervous. These clowns are setting the airline industry for a major disaster they'll have to pay for.

Posted by: Blake - semi lurker at large at January 11, 2023 12:16 PM

The major disaster they are going to have to pay for is going out of business due to the goals of the WEF's Great Reset.

"And if that means actually some of us are told, well you can't go on a plane, that's fine, that's part of the national plan."

588 The FAA changed the meaning of the NOTAMS acronym from "Notice to Airmen" to "Notice to Air Missions" in order to be more inclusive.

Is it wrong of me that I hope this name change is the reason for this SNAFU?

The real question is whether anybody has finished reading Ayn Rand.
