MO: Make high cost human low cost human

I swear I saw a Tom Scott video about this, but quite some time ago. Possibly same method but different insect…

X had a predecessor called W that ran on an operating system called V.

Looks like someone decompiled it and compared it to RTEMS code.

What I don’t get is that RTEMs appears to be dual licensed, with one being under BSD… So they would just need to attribute somewhere and then they would be fully compliant.

Maybe the bigger picture is more complicated than that though.

The comment I replied to said “at work”, not “while working”

Sure people have breaks, lunches … It’s not unusual to read news or social media during these times.

Oh I wasn’t implying you were! My ire is directed entirely at RM for their mismanagement.

Someone defined the process at some point though, and often it’s documented. I’ve worked at several banks and large financial institutions and have had plenty of people tell me “I don’t know how X works” but never “Nobody knows how X works”.

I currently work at a bank and I’m yet to encounter anything that someone couldn’t at least send me documentation for, however apocryphal.

The problem here is that it’s fairly clear that the post office allowed Fujitsu to both define and implement the processes such that they are not compelled to provide the blueprint for them as part of the contract and they are now held to ransom over it.

This is the kind of colossal fuck up that heads should roll for, no less so as it is happening in the shadow of one of the biggest corruption scandals in British history.

Crucial code doesn’t exist, all code is disposable mess that tries to mimic a real world process; and it sounds like the post office fucked up by not even knowing how their own processes work in practice.

Their best option here would be to revert to pen and paper until they figure out how the hell they actually make money.

In the meantime, fire the board and exec team for not meeting their most basic fiduciary duties.

They used to run a lot of these types of ads in Viz magazine back in the day. Good times.

I didn’t know this and it’s absolutely hilarious. Literally totally undermines the use of Blockchain to begin with.

If this causes networking issues, your setup is already too complicated to manage through a flat set of docker containers. That’s not a bad thing, this just isn’t the horse for that course so to speak.
