| 18:09.48 | jlp_znc | so, president trump authorizes separation of air traffic control from the FAA. says "this action will improve safety..." how? nobody knows. |
| 18:10.10 | jlp_znc | apparently, bipartisan members of the house appropriations committee were dead set against the idea as of February. |
| 18:10.33 | jlp_znc | looks like they changed their minds? or had their minds changed? |
| 18:37.26 | unum | nothing creates efficiency like creating more top level departments..... |
| 18:37.49 | unum | and hiring more administrators |
| 19:01.41 | Migs | does anyone use two password managers to keep track of each others' master passwords? |
| 19:03.07 | TodPunk | that seems like a circular human dependency |
| 19:11.39 | Migs | could just add a third password manager to make it less circular |
| 19:22.37 | jlp_znc | actually, the more password managers you add, the more circular it gets. |
| 19:22.55 | jlp_znc | a hexagon is much more circular than a triangle, for example. |
| 19:23.39 | jlp_znc | but Pythagorus would probably say "it's all about the triangles" |
| 19:25.45 | joshh | just use 4 so it will be a square |
| 19:52.04 | joshh | jlp_znc: link to the trump faa thing? |

| 20:13.28 | joshh | i don't understand how privatization would bring any benefits to that... how is some company supposed to grow profits with it? |

| 20:34.33 | levi | Argh, this Linux audio codec driver is busted. Now I have to muck about in the kernel. :/ |
| 20:34.54 | jlp_znc | supposed to form a "non-profit" company to manage ATC |
| 20:35.52 | keldwud | mubles something about pulse auido |
| 20:35.57 | keldwud | ;) |
| 20:36.51 | jlp_znc | here's more info: http://thehill.com/policy/transportation/267888-appropriators-look-to-ground-independent-air-traffic-control-plan <- this was from february |
| 20:37.30 | jlp_znc | from february 2016 |
| 20:37.53 | jlp_znc | so over a year ago, the republican leadership wanted this, but the appropriations committee said it was a bad idea. |
| 20:39.38 | jlp_znc | http://thehill.com/policy/transportation/268044-house-gop-unveils-bill-to-separate-air-traffic-control-from-the-faa <- also from february 2016 |
| 20:41.09 | jlp_znc | I think the idea is that ATC controllers would no longer be federal employees, no longer have access to federal retirement plans, health care plans, etc. |
| 20:42.02 | jlp_znc | kind of like when your IT department gets outsourced to some services company. your (former) company gets to supposedly save money (since it's coming out of a different bucket) even though they end up actually spending more $$ |
| 20:42.31 | jlp_znc | "look, we're saving all this money on people costs!" "but we're paying twice as much for the service?" "yeah, but that's 'operations' money, not 'people' money." |
| 20:43.02 | joshh | sigh |
| 20:43.15 | joshh | im honestly amazed that anything in the world even functions |
| 20:44.29 | jlp_znc | http://reason.com/archives/2016/02/14/converting-the-faas-air-traffic-control |
| 20:44.36 | jlp_znc | (also from feb 2016) |
| 20:45.08 | jlp_znc | well, joshh, you just have to understand... the purpose of government is not to govern, it's to make sure the rich people get richer. |
| 20:47.33 | TodPunk | I don't think much of anything in the world /does/ function |
| 20:48.03 | TodPunk | Mostly things seem to function for their creators, and only if they're smart, but it will never function for someone else, just give them access to lolcats |
| 20:53.19 | levi | keldwud: This is like 2 layers below pulse audio. The driver literally doesn't turn on the DAC part of the chip, so it can't consume the digital audio data at all. |
