   I said airplane ... nosedive. I guess that started it. I was talking   
   about Rowhammer, a lurking problem in a complex system, not so different   
   from an airplane failure.   
      
   x86 is complex, hardware bugs are known. Are we certain there are no   
   more? Humans are prone to hubris. Just when they think they've mastered   
   their world, a snake bites.   
      
   I can see commonality between x86 and human failure. Not that I want to   
   prolong the thread, just saying I'm not disturbed by it.
