Althego: depends a bit when they launch. If they do it early in the day weather will be fine
<Mat2ch>
if they have to delay it they might have to scrap it due to lightning
<Mat2ch>
last time they went so early it was still foggy...
<Althego>
most of the time there is no fog in the morning there
<Althego>
sos they could do it
<Mat2ch>
nerdle cam shows a bit of fog. But could be the cam in the darkness.
<Althego>
doesnt look too bad
<Althego>
last time nothing was visible

hehe, this is funny. there is a site here that lets you reserve a time for your covid vaccination. around dawn people realized instead of the chinese only (while it was in test run), it started to offer pfizer too. so people effectively made a dos attack on it
<Althego>
the result was, in some places you could get vaccination without a time, so several hundred m long lines formed

Althego: oh, software problems. Just natural, you can't do anything about it.
<Mat2ch>
</sarcasm>
<Althego>
in my opinion the site is unusable even in its normal state
<Althego>
i tried to use it but was always stuck at the zip code, because they probably expect you to pick a zip code of a nearby hospital
<Althego>
why not just display its name lol

Althego: the funny thing about this is that 193 countries (and several more states not acknowledged as countries) require the same thing.
<Mat2ch>
And everyone is doing it on their own. And most of them fail
<Althego>
hehe
<Mat2ch>
as if society has never heard of working together to fix a problem faster and better :D
<Althego>
imagine if it was a central system. it would fail centrally :)
<Mat2ch>
hrhr
<Mat2ch>
well, if they could all agree on one system they probably would put it in the "cloud" somewhere, where it is the cheapest
<Mat2ch>
:D
<Althego>
the planning of such system alone would take months
<Althego>
and countless meetings
<Althego>
almost impossible

Althego: Sounds like the Us's Heathercare.gov. they had 3 years and still could not make it work upon completion and had to re-write a good chunk fo teh back end just to get it workign the first year.

let's face it. we took the idea of computers and made them so horrible that they are not only useless but detrimental
<umaxtu>
if it can't run well on a 6502 or z80, its not worth using. Am I right? Or am I right?
<Althego>
probably
<raptop>
When you consider that initial uses for computers were breaking cryptography and designing nuclear weapons, their cursed nature makes sense
<raptop>
Also consider how often their mechanical predecessors were used for aiming various kinds of guns/artillery
<umaxtu>
raptop, they should've just hired more poles instead
<Althego>
but it is not even that
<raptop>
heh
<Althego>
you dont need to use them as weapons
<Althego>
and they still harm us
<Althego>
because of our own inability to program them
