But independents would need to be embedded into the company every step of the way, it would get to be point they would look exactly like Boeing employees.
But what does happen is audits where the work is checked
Ace, I can see how this could actually be quite useful for house conveyancing.
You've put a lot of effort into this. How are you affected by the upcoming changes to local government? They'll no doubt be some rationalisation at some point.
Having run a small mongo database and having it hosted in 3 different places at one point. The last point was atlas, yes it was expensive but we got replication, we could have an analytical node, we even had data residency. If I remember correctly you can have your replicas in different providers at the same time.
One of the biggest issues was cost, but we were treated like first class citizens, the support was good, we saw constant updates and features. Using atlas search was fantastic because we didn't have to replicate the data to another resource for quick searching.
Before atlas we were on Compose.io and well mongo there just withered and we were plagued by performance issues
Sorry, the T7 is actually the multi van now, which is VW based
The old transporter and panels vans were called T6 and this is where confusion lies. None the less, the Transporter etc are Fords.
^ this.
My father is an aerospace engineer. He has worked for many companies and in various positions, director/head of engineering/certification across various sectors. He now works for the regulator as an auditor and specialises in the sectors he has worked in and often with companies he's worked for. There is a huge amount of integrity involved for the profession and I've never heard of any cases where this has been questioned. At the end of the day, there are rules and processes to follow, don't follow them and it's quite simple you loose the power to verify your own work, no business wants this and it's much easier to work with the regulator and conform to the rules. Also if the regulator determines there is an issue or fault then they can ground the affected aircraft, in a number of cases the airlines/manufacturer even have clauses with these companies that are the along the lines of "if your product grounds us, you will pay us x amount per day" The regulator will also specify how much cost to rectify work will be so the company will lose money, that's why it's easier to just follow the rules!
I should add that the regulator will be to the letter. I was told a case where the company followed the test form a spec from standard x, but standard x was superseded twice. The latest spec and standard x, the testing was exactly the same but because the company had done the testing against x and not the latest they had to redo all the work. Regulator would not shift or give dispensation on passing it.
I don't expect to come back after x years and a build system to work. You're very much at the mercy of multiple components in your stack and environment. For example you could be on a Mac and 2 years ago you were using x64, but now you are on ARM64. Whole load of stuff just breaks from that alone.
In the UK the NHS/local health trusts actually have a few fast response cars which contain at least a paramedic but more often someone who is trained higher. Even the fire service will have a small car as part of an incident response team.
I've also seen more ambulances that are based on a transit/mini bus platform for call outs that aren't major, think old person falling over. They save the big boxy ones for more serious issues.
The UK has been in a similar situation. We have a ship building industry plan and it seems to be going ok. Top of the range ships like type 26 are massive, expensive and cutting edge so will take time to build and commission. So what we've done is gone and brought an off the shelf design (Iver Huitfeldt-class frigate) and started building it. It's not cutting edge or massive, it should need less crew and most of it's system should be off the shelf. The first in class was paid in April 2022 and is to be launched this year with an inservice date of early 2027. To compare that against the first in class of the type 26, that was laid down on 2027 and is looking to be in service at the same time as the first type31!
We're also building nuclear subs as well!
What normally happens is they will store a bunch of chips for the future and then shut the line down, when they need more they'd have to use a newer chip in it's place.
This sounds like a mutal consent sort of thing. Its like with football managers, normally the board is unhappy with the manager and the manager knows it and even agrees with it (to some extent) so rather being fired and having the animosity of it, they all agree things aren't working out and walk. Sounds similar here. YC basically implied you're spreading yourself thin so we think its best you pick one and it sounds like he agreed!
I've recently clad my garden office in a composite cladding, the brand makes use of RAL. Makes it much easier to get the matching trim and silicone and even a touch up pen for any scuffs or scratches
