I believe that the F-35 is a problem (1) too reliant on a much too complex maintenance system (2) wanting to do all in one (multi role) (3) a product of the military-industrial complex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military%E2%80%93industrial_complex) - but now I see I'm not the first one with that idea. wonder why...

Yet another prediction that has turned out being wrong...

... with built-in shades that drop automatically when a BSOD is detected.

sounds like good old cold war spy practices (arranging handovers, dead drops, etc...) might come back...

darling, did you switch off the reactor when we left?

How about educating people to eat more healthily, and investing in healthy food, so that there will be less GI problems?

maybe the problem of boredom is that too experienced pilots are tasked for drone piloting. maybe drone pilots should be recruited separately, and be given an adapted training. a real pilot is trained all day long to try to save his own life, while a drone pilot can step away and hand over to someone else while going for lunch. -alex-

I noticed a similar issue on some types of buses (Belgium): there is a small greenish monochrome 6inx6in display that seems to offer space for inch-wide pictograms to show info such as brakes, lights, etc. Problem is that the display is empty by default, and pictograms appear in a stack-like fashion (stacking in "reading order", from left to right): when eg beamlights are switched on, a pictogram for the lights appears in the next free spot, rather than in a fixed spot. So it is not possible to know what system is actually active other than by reading the entire display, because the pictograms do not have a fixed place.
