Another example. An airplane broke the sound barrier in 1948. Today, we are as far removed from Yeager breaking the sound barrier as Yeager was from a civil war hero being President (Grant). But we still have no supersonic airplanes in commercial service.

tbf, lack of supersonic airplanes is a commercial problem rather than a technical one.
On the other hand, most of the commercial jets we do fly are basically 1950s designs with bigger engines and some computers in the cockpit, and HN thinks it was crazily irresponsible for Boeing to have decided to use sensor-triggered autonomous systems to do something as simple as temporarily adjust the trim system...

It was irresponsible to use one sensor to adjust the trim in a not-very-visible way.
