Same thing happened to my wife. My phone was fine but she was worried something had happened to hers as it was SOS only. I had her go to the Verizon store which is where they told her about the outage.

From when I worked as an engineer on the assembly line for smaller jets, know that there would be a record trail of exactly who completed the work, who signed off on it and what the work order steps were for anything related to these assemblies and components. This would include the work done at Boeing and their suppliers. Will be interesting to ultimately hear the root cause here.

Thanks for the recommendations! I also work on a decently large ecom site and search experience is a difficult problem - especially in aftermarket automotive.

from the article, the paragraph right before it explained how she got on the board:

"In 2019, she spent nine months in Beijing studying its AI ecosystem. When she returned, Toner helped establish a research organization at Georgetown University, called the Center for Security and Emerging Technology, where she continues to work."

Can you speak more to what balance is needed? Not being able to terminate bad actors severely impacts the ability to improve the situation. The union rep seemed to shift blame throughout out the entire article.

From the article:

Bergami and Whitmore said they also tried to fire an officer who they saw on video throwing away prisoners’ mail, a possible felony. The agency also overruled them in that decision, they said. The bureau did not respond to allegations of staff destroying mail.“How do you root out the bad apples if you're not allowed to terminate those who have been recommended for termination?” Whitmore said.The two former Thomson officials and a current prison employee said the attitude among many guards was reflected by a group who refused to wear their issued uniforms. These officers opted instead for black T-shirts, many with the union logo or the skull logo of The Punisher — a vigilante comic book character popular with far-right groups. They called themselves “The Black Shirt Mafia.”

Also: Seems like they might be looking at lots of staff rotation anyway (union or not): https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/local-news/thomson-prison...

I'm proudly libertarian - in fact, we have an explanation for these boom/bust business cycles via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_business_cycle_theory. Libertarians have criticized cheap/free money for a very long time so it's not surprising that an institution that had to invest excess deposits into 'safe' treasuries is in trouble once interest rates started to rise. There are likely many other banks, company's, and institutions in trouble right now because of operating assumptions build on free/cheap money are invalid.
