A new train system in the UK is causing problems with commuters, with doors not opening at stations because of problems with satellite.
"Keep a sense of perspective on this," claims Southern spokesman. "We run over 1,700 services every day, day in, day out."
Well, keep a sense of perspective on this, Mr. Spokesman. Do we send new doctors into the field and tolerate them when the these new doctors kill one or two patients daily? Give them time, the doctors will get better.
Do we employ new cooks in restaurants, and have a few cases of food poisoning daily? Give them time, the cooks will get better.
Granted, this is no life-or-death situation here, but hey, we learnt in Computer Science 101 that when you introduce new systems, make sure you have fall-back plans that will work.
It will be a sad day when it is taken for granted that new systems will always not work perfectly. It will be a sad day when it is the norm for the actual users to be the beta testers.
"Ooops, sorry. I've just killed your husband. Sorry, but we will get better. New chef, you know? Here's a voucher for your next meal. See you again!"

NY Times' WMD Credibility Gap

NY Times' WMD Credibility Gap 05/30/2004 11:55 AM

The NY Times' ombudsman, Daniel Okrent, has written an appropriately sca thing assessment of the newspaper's reporting and editing failures leading up to the Iraq war. Last week, the Times posted this welcome but incomplete "From the Editors" self-critique of its coverage. Okrent says:

The editors' note to readers will have served its apparent function only if it launches a new round of examination and investigation. I don't mean further acts of contrition or garment-rending, but a series of aggressively reported stories detailing the misinformation, disinformation and suspect analysis that led virtually the entire world to believe Hussein had W.M.D. at his disposal. No one can deny that this was a drama in which The Times played a role. On Friday, May 21, a front-page article by David E. Sanger ("A Seat of Honor Lost to Open Political Warfare") elegantly characterized Chalabi as "a man who, in lunches with politicians, secret sessions with intelligence chiefs and frequent conversations with reporters from Foggy Bottom to London's Mayfair, worked furiously to plot Mr. Hussein's fall." The words "from The Times, among other publications" would have fit nicely after "reporters" in that sentence. The aggressive journalism that I long for, and that the paper owes both its readers and its own self-respect, would reveal not just the tactics of those who promoted the W.M.D. stories, but how The Times itself was used to further their cunning campaign.

NY Times Discusses NY Times' Thoughts On
Charging For Access

NY Times Discusses NY Times' Thoughts On
Charging For Access 03/14/2005 05:27 PM
A few months back, the folks at the NY Times admitted they were think ing about charging for access to their website. This is a bad idea for a ton of reasons -- including the decrea sing relevance the publication will have on future news readers. Amusingly, though, a NY Times reporter is now weighing in with a story about whether newspapers should charge for access to online content. What's unfortunate is how clear it is that publishers simply don't get what's happening around them -- and how they're hastening their own obsolescence in the name of "protecting existing business models." The reporter quotes an analyst saying "Newspapers are cannibalizing themselves," as if that's a bad thing. The fact is, if they don't cannibalize themselves, someone else will -- and then they've got absolutely nothing. In a discussion about another (smaller) newspaper, the editor claims that they decided to charge "to save the print newspaper." That's backwards thinking. It's like saying a buggy maker refused to build automobiles to "save the buggy business." It doesn't work that way. As if to prove that, the article notes that paper subscriptions are still decreasing -- though, this is hidden quietly at the end of that section. Meanwhile, the article includes other misunderstandings about other newspapers. For example, the Washington Post claims that the current registration process is great because "you're getting information from your users and you can target ads to your users, which is more efficient for advertisers." Except that's not true. Plenty of studies have shown that newspaper registration files are fille d with dirty data, often doing much more damage then good while also opening them up to legal liability by presenting data to advertisers which is likely filled with false information. The problem with newspapers these days is that they're missing two very important cultural changes. First, is that there no longer is a captive audience. If you don't make it easy to work with you, then people go elsewhere quickly. That means registration or charging drives people away for good. Second, is that many people no longer view the news from solely the consumer perspective -- but also from the ability to share the news with others -- and registration and charging makes that more difficult as well. For example, the link above to the NY Times article is actually to a reprint of that article at CNET, because there's no registration requirements there, meaning we're more comfortable linking there than to the original piece at the NY Times itself.

Good Chip/Bad Chip

Good Chip/Bad Chip 03/19/2005 02:23 AM

Making computer chips is not as easy as it sounds. Manufacturers throw out 20–50% of the chips they make because of defects. According to a USC professor, Melvin Breuer, many of these defects are so minor that the chips could still be used in video cards and audio applications without a problem. He feels that if the manufacturers could identify these chips, they could resell them and drive the cost of electronic devices down to an amount in the billions of dollars each year of savings.

The technique doesn't have to be limited to chips that are consistent in their errors. Chips that make errors only once in a while can also be spared, according to Breuer. They just need to end up in devices where humans can tolerate a glitch in the output from time to time. For instance, a video card could mark one pixel in a million as red instead of blue and an end user probably wouldn't even notice the difference. The same goes for a soundcard in a voicemail application that blurs one word in every thousand. At present, chips failing these tests are usually tossed.
