  • Gen Xer here…

    It didn’t use to be this bad. The FCC (and ftc) dropped the bag (regulatory capture), letting clear channel gobble up stations.

    When I was a kid had a couple great local stations back in the day. One was a highschool station that local bands could send in cassette tapes and they would play them on Tuesdays. They had a Mosh Monday curated by local metalhead kids/young adults (there was vocational training at the radio station in evening classes).

    Even the commercial channels were better. Not great or anything, but they had a lot more variety.







  • Gotta call bullshit here.

    Skilled workers make mistakes. Give them all the time in the world and they will still make mistakes because they are human. The trick is to give them feedback loops, as short as possible, so they can recognize their mistakes. This should be part of process controls based on risk.

    Don’t get me wrong, I would not want to validate this network wrench solution. There is a fairly narrow band where it makes sense to me which would require a fair amount of DFM (design the assembly to have unique bolt heads for each torque setting etc). But when you are making things that people rely on for their life… You have to have layered systems and these are a legitimate layer.
