Great stories; Excellent narration! 1st story - could be worst, the federation could have join a FPS MMO lobby. 2nd story - As an engineer, I approve this story! LOL!!!
Greetings, Mentlegent! For the Rhyhtm that is Algo Story 1: Not the first time the "alien hivemind didn't understand humans don't have one" story has been done, but definitely clever. Story 2: Humans are *careful*
Written in blood is too true. I was a QA Inspector, started in the Navy originally. Every spec, every safety requirement, every rule was written because someone died before it was written. All the military specifications were written after someone died not following the specs. IMHO, it's a universal constant...
Story 1: And the world leaders sat back and let this happen? I don't think so. Whole nations would turn off their internet or at least try to. They would dispatch armies of security to bash down the doors to every computer lab. Also, the idea that all of the internet could come to a consensus also seems far fetched.
Story 1 feels like a babbling idiot with no filter has been asked to join a posh country club. Or maybe the Internet is better analogized as a babbling baby and that a unified voice that represents every human user will eventually be built.
I suspect with better technology, closer tolerances, materials. O-rings are redundant, and weaker than tight fittings with lips maybe? If the met@l does not expand, contract with heat cold, built tight.. a much better material then O-rings if needed.
We can omit O-ring's today if we want to, but the techniques required usually means a dramatically heavier and complex part. Having a double (or even quintuple) o-ring generally is cheaper while retaining the required seal under most failure modes.
Thank you, Agro. 2nd story is pretty succinct

Human Safety Procedures are written in Human Blood!
All of them!

I am surprised that the hive mind didn't recoil in horror and glass the planet. Wonder if they have a Rule 34.
They do now!
Briliant second story is so important
I really liked the second story! WITH ENERGY!!

More like an infinite number of babbling babies on an infinite number of consoles.
neat
A little bit of everything all of the time...

No, trust me, O rings required. Exactly because of the expansion and contraction die to temp extremes.
We can omit O-ring's today if we want to, but the techniques required usually means a dramatically heavier and complex part. Having a double (or even quintuple) o-ring generally is cheaper while retaining the required seal under most failure modes.
