I dunno exactly what it is (a patch of waterlogged rot mixed with sap?) but you can see it leaking out the base long before it spews through the chainsaw, so it's not oil from the saw.

In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.

All in all it should be easy to solve for us humans, but unfortunately we have delegated these things to engineers... just look at the new Berlin Brandenburg airport.

There's a great 4-episode podcast called How to gently caress Up an Airport all about that place.

Yeah the government here hosed that royally in the mid-90s. "The Melbourne rail network is going to need a billion dollars worth of maintenance and upgrades sometime in the next 10 years.... so, we'll sell it for a billion dollars and make it someone else's problem!"

Then the mid-late 00s roll around, we get a couple of decent heatwaves and the whole loving thing falls apart.

It really is insane that you can just walk up to the edge of the tracks in this modren era. if I were to design such a system today, I'd have a barrier that's away from the tracks. The train comes in and it stops in such a way that it blocks anyone from getting into the tunnel or on the tracks. Then the train doors open and then a separate set of doors open that let people get from the platform to the train.

This but everyone is stuck on the tracks.

The person operating it is practicing good safety, by using the same hand to operate the lever that they use to put the can in place.

It's unclear whether that's good discipline, or because there's some button offscreen that they need to keep pushing with their other hand to make the machine work.

Over here in NZ we privatise the entity. Then the thing is asset stripped to the point it is no longer functional. Then the government buys it back and bails it out. They get it operating well again and sell it off to repeat the cycle. Has happened with the rail, AirNZ and a few others.

It's because they already crushed their other hand.

I mean, Zoom was lovely for all those valid points, and there are still outstanding problems, but there’s a lot of FUD in that video as well. For instance, Google and NASA aren’t banning Zoom, lol. I was literally in a Zoom meeting with Google and NASA yesterday, with the latter group being the one to set up the meeting and conferencing.

There have been a couple brief periods where it was more like “don’t use Zoom until we figure out what’s up” but then a few days later it’s back on the menu.

Google has banned using the installed Zoom client due to it having a record of lovely security.

If you're talking with a customer or third-party that insists on Zoom, you've got to use the web client.

i don't think zoom is any worse than other options, they just happened to be thrust into the limelight and everyone is figuring out all the pre-existing vulnerabilities. though some of the monitoring stuff seems a bit scummy

but if we were all using GoToMeeting now they'd probably be having the same problems
