  • A salary maximum (as per the article) of 79k USD per year seems low. This as the accident rate amongst longshoremen can be significantly higher than average. It’s often not reported on enough (at least in Europe) but significant injuries and deaths happen often enough. This partly because (obviously) a mistake has way more consequences on a terminal vs e.g. working in an office.







  • oh you watch videos and it’s hard to concentrate after a while? Welcome to actual driving jobs

    Watching videos is comparable to e.g. ATC work. I don’t see driving as comparable. In one you’re actively doing something. In the others you’re only checking for stuff that might go wrong but usually goes ok.

    There’s a significant difference in ATC vs the training AI: in ATC work people are swapped out after a few hours and they have regular breaks. While here for that AI the company is pretending it can be done for an 8 hour shift.

    I have no doubt that we will likewise see the mental and physical effort of driving as well as the danger of it become as unconscionable as threshing or machine operator work is to us now.

    Meh, that’s been said for ages. Currently the reliability of automated driving is often crazily overestimated. Human driving is pretty reliable, especially on highways.

    Change for the better is good. But just because there’s a computer involved doesn’t mean it’s already better or that’ll be foolproof.














  • In the EU any bank requires customers to use 2FA. Dutch customs requires critical logistics companies to use 2FA (amongst other stuff).

    From what I recall critical companies must address likely methods to breach their security. It is highly likely that a company will get loads of attempts to check. Similarly, a critical company is expected to deal with employees leaving and ensuring their access is revoked.

    From skimming they seem to say that there isn’t a breach because an account of an ex-employee was used. But that’s too easy, the processes sucked. The way they got in is just one of the things that some EU regulation requires critical companies to address. Same for perhaps not forcing customers to use 2FA. That’s crazy.

    The EU is usually really slow in regulating things. If they got in using a method that the EU said you had to address then it means you had ages of time and nothing was done.

    Really unresponsible. Especially as I think they seem be pretty critical part of the economy.
