The fact that the master branch CI has a high rate of failure doesn't inspire confidence in the development process.


I assume your looking at the runs in GitHub actions?

The development process itself is fine. This takes place inside Facebook on their own infrastructure. The problem is their process to automatically sync their internal repo to GitHub and keep the public CI green is broken.


What about UDT [1]? Several open source libraries exist already.

Maybe you hardly see bugs because you don't test for them.

I should have the right to remove embarrassing things I've done 20 years ago when I was a teenager from a public indexer, the same way I can request the phone book to delist my phone number: this does not mean that the phone company has to delete my number, it just cannot be indexed.

A stupid example? just put a "like" on Medium next to an article regarding something that embarrasses you and few days later that article will appear on Google when looking for your name, and then you would love to have the GDPR at your disposal to permanently delete your Medium account.


Bad analogy for several reasons:

- phone numbers are not personal, embarrassing stories

- a phone book is a primary source, but a search engine is not


> phone numbers are not personal, embarrassing stories

Right, which makes the right to be forgotten even more important than the right to be removed from a phone book.

When you're disputing an analogy, the discrepancies have to actually be relevant and support your point. You can just say "you can't compare A and B because A is not B."


A phone book is not a primary source, the phone company's registry is.


"Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming" by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway explains how the misinformation about climate change (and other topics) unfolded.


Maybe it could be used to track the certification process for pharmaceuticals or medical software?


The book "Aviation Psychology: Practice and Research" by Klaus-Martin Goeters is an eye opener on the problems that the architects of complex control systems that interface with humans must take into account.

And the kind of problem that MCAS exhibited is clearly explained in the book.

The book doesn't talk only about control system design, but also about training, hiring, etc.
