Sounds like you need a faster computer or faster internet connection -- even when use my phone to connect to the internet, the autocomplete popup comes up faster than I can type, but even if I type faster than the autocomplete popup, I don't see how it would get in the way, if I don't want to use autocomplete, I don't have to use one of their suggestions.

Really? I use it all the time -- works really well on Google Mail, I start typing "Joh" and a popup window gives me a list of users that begin with "Joh" so I can choose whether I wanted to send the email to John or Johanna. Works decently well on my phone too - I use the "swipe" style typing on my phone and the autocomplete usually figures out the word I meant to type, even when I don't quite swipe over all of the letters I intended to type.

Or maybe it's conditioning, you were brought up going to races and hearing the roar of engines, so you expect it. But someone that is brought up going to relatively quiet e-races may find the noise to be too loud.

Root cause analysis is not just about laying blame, it's about finding out where the processes/procedures broke down and how they can be improved to prevent a similar incident in the future.

This was modded as a troll? Really?

That was my reading too -- they aren't trying to prevent an Amazon warehouse worker from working in a Walmart stock room (even though Walmart and Amazon may be selling the same consumer goods), but are trying to prevent a warehouse worker becoming a Google consultant to help design Google's warehouse operations.

Sounds like there's some overlap with an NDA but Amazon is probably trying to cover all of their bases to give themselves more ammo in a lawsuit.

Which is why I wrote it locks out the cockpit controls and only way to disengage would be for both pilots to enter their own secret code. So if it's inadvertantly activated, it can still be deactivated.

I would hope that every flight control computer is designed to not malfunction through redundancy.

If you trust your fly by wire aircraft to translate your control stick movements into control surface movements, surely you can trust it to not take over unless you tell it to. If the flight control computer is so screwed up that it took over without being commanded to and it can't be unlocked, then you're already screwed.

Did you have some point to make, or were you just demonstrating your ability to bold text?

If your pilot is already determined to crash the plane, an autoland malfunction won't make things any worse

So design it so it doesn't falsely go into panic mode. If the flight control system has a software bug so serious that it spuriously enabled a mode it's not supposed to, the aircraft probably has bigger problems to worry about.

Neither is a pilot that's determined to crash the plane.

This will likely be less of an issue over time.

Probably less of an issue on long-haul flights where they have a lot of fuel early in the flight, and already have several alternate airports in their flight plan, they can just make sure that one of their destination alternates has autoland. For short-haul flights that might not be carrying a full fuel load or destinations in remote areas without a suitable autoland alternate, this might be more of an issue.

I assume the flight control computer would be programmed to prefer "friendly" airports unless fuel state requires landing at a known "hostile" airport (landing safely in Iran is probably better for the passengers than crashing when if the aircraft runs out of fuel). Pilots/airlines must already know which airports are deemed unfriendly so they can avoid them in their alternate airport planning. Though I wonder if there are any "hostile" airports with ILS/MLS equipment approved for autoland?

How about a panic button outside the cockpit with the same code as the entry door that only the pilots know? If a pilot gets locked out and fears for the safety of the plane, he enters his panic button code and it locks out the cockpit controls and tells the autopilot to land at the nearest auto-land capable airport. The only way to disengage would be for both pilots to enter their own secret code. For bonus points, make it able to be remotely activated so when ATC finds that the plane is unresponsible and obviously off course, they can turn it on (or call the airline to turn it on).

Autoland may not be perfect, but it's probably safer than a suicidal pilot.

It's only stupidly weak if you don't follow the stupidly simple instructions involving using a die roll to choose random words. Using the 7700 word dictionary they recommend and 5 words gives 64 bits of password entropy. Granted, that's much less than the 144 bits of entropy you provided in your 28 character alphanumeric password, but still no one is going to brute force 2^63 bits in a few seconds.

This procedure assumes fair, unbiased dice. For years, the NSA has required precise machining of dice to generate predictable rolls. Once someone cracks the code, Casinos will lose billions.

What, other than precision machining, would explain why plastic dice with a materials cost of pennies cost over $2/each?

It's a dress code, it says nothing about attractiveness or even gender (except where it says that it applies regardless of gender, so men can't wear mini skirts either).

I don't understand how that relates to what I just wrote?
