Comment Re:Great to see 'forever chemicals' getting attent (Score 2) 117

Grandpa died because his intestines stopped working because he drank the water in Little Hocking, Ohio (Smooth, with a slight chemical aftertaste, as I recall). If you dig him up that Teflon coated intestine is still slitting there. PFAS kills, but not necessarily cancer. This is a profit over people thing and it just makes me sick to think about it.

Comment Too much (Score 2) 170

I was auto rejected by P&G for a senior level IT architect position. The reason (I knew some HR folks their and discovered)I had to much experience. Some sort of age discrimination protocol I guess. Literally, my 20 years of progressive IT experience was to much and the filter cut me from the pool. Filters can be another word for discrimination and even after I hacked out some experience to meet their criteria, to old seemed like the reason I did not advance. Perhaps not a common boat, but I'm sure a few of you are in it.

Comment Automated right into a smoking hole (Score 1) 190

All in all, automation is a good thing, but it is also a way to make a small mistake into a smoking crater. I understand that you don't want to do devops at 30,000 feet but they have an identified problem with the automation that has killed twice. The bug needs to be removed from the code before another 737 MAX leaves the ground.
