Comment on Fukushima robot operator publishes tell-all diaries and videos, now offline

Comments

I read the IEEE version this morning, which was much more detailed:

http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/industrial-robot...

It also contains human-translated and edited text of the blog, as well as training videos.

The BoingBoing post has two glaring errors:

First, the author is not a whistleblower. Google defines a whistleblower as an informant who exposes wrongdoing within an organization in the hope of stopping it. It wasn't all praise, but there were no reports of ethical violations.

Second, the IEEE summaries are not the complete text of the articles. The description reads: Below are portions excerpted from nearly 50 robot-related posts ... Some sections (marked with [...]) were omitted for clarity or space.

Edit: I've submitted the IEEE version at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2921215
