This seems obvious. If it's possible for the robot to have sensors that can see in the smoke, giving the fire-fighter the sensor instead of adding the extra complexity of a guide-robot is an obviously better solution.

We don't really need to get into genders to illustrate the problem. If the pilot is a less capable fighter than the crew member that's sitting in, an insane crew member can take down the plane. If the pilot is the better fighter, they can overpower the flight crew member. There's no way to make this perfectly safe, but the current door system is pretty good.

There doesn't appear to be space for a 3rd person in many cockpits.

Even if we had software fly our planes, a hacker could bring them down. Total safety from crazy people isn't possible.

The technology is pretty well thought out, but clearly can't currently defend against an insane pilot.

This YT video describes the system.

All they need to do is issue different codes to each member of the flight crew, and allow an override of the lock toggle if a certain number of flight-crew codes are entered into the access pad.

Yep, even with a whole school full of computers you couldn't compete with dedicated mining devices.

Why would they replace the computers? You just restore from backup, or worst-case reinstall the OS from scratch, block Flash so they don't get reinfected, and you're done.

You've clearly internalized too much wingnut media.

So the one where the wives are property is the only real marriage? That seems really regressive.

The only way a 2600 joystick changed my brain/thumb interaction was my thumb sending pain signals to my brain. We've come a long way since that terrible controller.

Adam Baldwin is a full-blown RWNJ, who's far too much like his character on Firefly, and believes just about all the foolish things that make a person a deranged wingnut.

He's not just on the regressive side of gamergate. He's on the wrong side of every social issue. I'm not surprised that someone who derps about "SJWs" likes this neanderthal.

>The purpose of technology is to aid mankind, not replace it, fix it, or supplant it.

Tech that can replace us is a lot more useful than tech that just helps us, but keeps us as limited as we now are. We may one day create intelligent life, which would be far superior to rationalizing apes with big egos.

It's you just about as much as the you that woke up this morning is the you from last light or a decade ago. A perfect copy of your mind from last night would be more like the you of last night, than the physical you now is.

So do I, but only because that what I'm required to use at work, and I wanted to have the same platform at home for my side business. I bought a used server with an SQL server license from a failed business for about the value of the hardware. SQL server doesn't need to be expensive if you look for a deal.

>Buying a new monitor or gpu? Sell the old one.

Yep, monitors and GPUs are very easy to sell commodity items.

How does it feel to be someone's obviously mentally ill AC stalker? Is it a satisfying life?

Don't bother. You can't penetrate Cafe's hysteria. Never try to reason with unreasonable people.
