The audience of this website is disproportionately aware of the Therac-25 compared to the general public. For the obvious reason, engineering, but also geographically: The Therac-25 being a North American incident that affected Canada and the US. Whereas Theryc is a French company. | ||

While I do agree with your point, as a Swede not even born when the incidents happen I still knew about it, was brought up in a computer science class. | ||

I feel like I have heard about this in a million different management anecdotes in my corporate trainings about management stuff/QA. | ||

> The Therac-25 being a North American incident that affected Canada and the US CGR who provided the accelerators and basic PDP11-based computing platform were a French company. > Whereas Theryc is a French company. I have been a Citroën enthusiast for about 30 years. I love French cars. I have repaired lots of Valeo electronics modules for vehicles. I'm not sticking my head in a French fucking particle accelerator. | ||
