"It's a big club, and you ain't in it!" - George Carlin

I'm not going to write this by hand. So what's the advantage over schema'd XML?

This is uh, no offense, but.. you are a robot, aren't you?

Who was smart enough to implement rate limiting there, but not an exponential lockout period?

Any chance it was bat related?

Why?

If I write an article today about someone who transitions next year, am I (and all articles) supposed to spend time updating it? Wikipedia is a different story

"This fact must be true, I saw it on Facebook!"

Should be possible to queue up profiles when online, review them offline, and sync back responses to the service when online again.

REGIONAL. Not global headquarters. Still jarring but about 10x less

Sounds difficult to test for. Thinking about a Pilot I think there would be data points you could measure on the job that predict likelihood of making a bad judgement. For example heart rate variability, cortisol levels, skin moisture.

I think the better solution is to abstract out the judgement into a formula that the pilot must follow, so not courting "gethereitis"

Hmm perhaps decree a method/routine to processes like nail gunning. A bit like the Japanese rail staff with their pointing routines.

Film the worksite or send surprise inspectors to catch workers too lazy/reckless about their nail gunning. Maybe show them videos of nail gun injuries!

Improper nailgunning I think is more related to ingrained attitude than ephemeral competence degraders (drugs)

I have a solution to prevent this, which doesn't prejudice Mike for having a bit of weed 2 weeks ago camping. Also it will filter out those unfit to work from legal medication, or tiredness.

Make workers do a 30 second ability test before going on shift. Design the test to measure reaction speed, short term memory, etc.

[follow up thought] - Test must be immune to practice/muscle memory. Don't want a drunk passing the test through familiarity, then performing shit on the job.
