Re: Because rushing a project
Indeed... he almost sounds like a madman... in his own words:
"If someone says they need 30 days to complete a project, I'll say they've got three weeks. They say 18 months, I say 9. I dunno why – it just feels good. We have to move faster, we have to simplify things, and be clear about what we're doing. It’s hard being simple in this complex world."
He himself admits he does not know why he is acting on these compulsions for speed and excessive simplicity. All that he will say is that he is doing it because it feels good. I believe in the 1980s and the 1990s this sort of thing went by the label "power trippin"?
I am glad that he was so transparent during the interview about something as unrelated as project deadlines... as his replies may give us some insight into what is going on in his head when it comes to the Internet of Things.
In the age of ISIS, to be in a hurry to expose power plants to even greater levels of remote monitoring and control... LOL... what justification is there for this?? Is it laziness? The current human operators are bored by their job?? Or is it because their robot replacements might have greater accuracy and speed? If it ain't broke, don't fix it!! :)
Off to my right I see another Register headline which reads:
"Search engine can find the VPN that NUCLEAR PLANT boss DIDN'T KNOW was there"
This is so absolutely pathetic... I wager that even a child could make more sensible decisions
sigh... well, all I can say is I hope cooler heads prevail. :)
