What depends? on..what?! I don't understand.. (I really tried) uh.. I don't understand your last sentence either.

Assuming you meant 'But you have to be brutal to have the desired effect of getting through to the terrible singers, plain honesty - considerate, respectful honesty[0] wouldn't work', well, he didn't get through, did he. Instead they thought he must be just being rude deliberately and didn't mean what he said. He made it impossible for them to hear him. Mostly.

Anyway.. I was making another point, not that Simon became notable 'simply because he was honest' but because he was rude; whether it was effective (at getting terrible singers to realize they're terrible) is another thing.

[0] See the book Crucial Conversations, it's largely about how to be honest with people, in important situations people usually aren't, while being respectful and considerate.

This doesn't really explain why they didn't pick NJ or Boston which are liberal, well educated, incredibly diverse and multicultural. Also the sentiment of "reduce business regulations" goes together with conservative politics more often.

I also disagree that "nobody wants to move to a socially conservative place". CA, Florida, Colorado, Nevada are all examples of places that were conservative or still are but appear to be going through shifts as population moves there.

This doesn't sound right. Boeing planes are much less fly-by-wire than Airbus, and this is especially true for the older models such as the 757 in this crash.
This maybe isn't the place to get super political but I'll give it a shot.

The systems of production aren't optimized for worker or human happiness, they are optimized for profit making. That is certainly a design choice, at least on a firm-by-firm level. Maybe nobody sat down and said, "how can I make my workers miserable today?" but they have certainly sat down and said, "how can I profit more today?" And typically, when there is a choice between that profit and workers' happiness, profit wins.

Once all or most firms start operating by this logic, the exploitation becomes inescapable. If the firms are smart, they will band together to use some of their profit to influence politics, shaping systems that enable them to make more profits.

"Live with it and treat the worst of the systems" would be sort of like the American Democratic party: enact reforms and put restrictions on what firms can do so that they can't exploit so much. This rarely seems to work, first because firms find a way around restrictions, second because the restrictions are often shaped or even written by the firms that are to be regulated. (If you're going to be regulated, you might as well make it happen on your terms.) As you said, it treats the symptoms but not the cause.

I don't know about "wait for someone else to be less evil", but I suppose that would be people who can see the problems with the current system but propose no solution. Also, you might have some people in this category who do think that the system could work, if only people were nicer to each other. But again, the problem isn't a lack of niceness, it's that the system is optimized for profit at all costs; given a choice between niceness or profit, profit usually wins.

An alternative would be to actually treat the cause of the problem. Have a system where firms are optimized for human needs rather than for profit.

I completely agree with the latter point, but while Americans have no problem admitting that von Braun was instrumental to the US space program, Soviets never even mentioned von Ardenne's name anywhere (just like it has never been mention that Hugo Schmaisser just happened to be a war trophy at the factory where Kalashnikov worked).

Of couirse it's not like SOviet space rocketry ewxisted in a vacuum, completely separate from ballistic missiles either. Gagarin's rocket basically was one of the early ICBMs. Once they realized that making copies of B-29 will only get them so far, they threw all the effort into rockets instead.

WWI, WWII, the French and US involvement in Vietnam, the Soviet and US involvements in Afghanistan, etc. have long demonstrated that the modern wars aren't all 'short and winnable'.

Though the 1990–1991 Gulf War, plus the US invasions of Grenada and Panama, may have helped re-foster that view in the US.
One of Boeing's selling points for this model was that pilots would not need "simulator training beyond that already required for older versions".

TL;DR: "We were able to measure that there are some toxic particles emanated, but failed to produce any meaningful results about quantity of said particles, or potential danger to consumers, in any way."

To me that says, the quantities they did measure were too low to publish for this alarmist article.

From the article:

>The sheer variety of the toxic substances produced by these printers was alarming. No less than 200 different volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

This isn’t really the root cause.

It is possible and common to think your group is superior without wishing any harm onto others and without trying to control others.

For example plenty of developers believe static typing is superior to dynamic typing but there are only a few that believe dynamic typing should be banned / driven out of the workplace.

> End to end tests seem to be a crutch.

Generally I agree. If you have good unit tests that fail when behaviour changes, your end to end tests do not need to be run all the time (or, often, ever).

The program as a whole operates in certain ways. Ideally, its operation is governed in a deterministic way by the behaviour of its parts. End to end tests usually can't give you full test coverage because the number of permutations of behaviour is too high to specify. However, the behaviour of single units can be exercised fully in most cases -- especially if you write the code to be easy to test (factor out branch points and loops, expose state so that you can test for changes in state, etc). If the behaviour of the units don't change, the behaviour of the final program also won't change. This means that you only have to test the behaviour of the full program in relation to the change of behaviour of the units. Often this can be done with manual testing while the units are being modified.

In other words, individual stories need to have acceptance tests (which can be manual or automated), but they usually only have to run when merging into the trunk branch. You don't usually have to run them again on deployment (or on any subsequent branch merge -- as that branch will have its own acceptance tests).

Some end to end tests might be a good idea depending on the architecture of your system, or the cost of failure. For example, if you have several disparate systems that are coordinating (e.g. lots of micro services), then it's pretty hard to do acceptance testing when you are doing development. It's one of the massive downsides to doing development that way. Additionally, it's usually a good idea to have end to end tests if a user's safety could be compromised. Or possibly making sure your "Buy Now" button works in various different scenarios. Relying on end to end tests for your entire application is usually a losing proposition because of the burden to get acceptable test coverage and fast development turnaround.

The idea that the citizens of the United States are somehow responsible for what their illegitimate government does is ridiculous. The people who actually will have to physically coexist with the refugees and the people responsible for their plight in the first place are not the same, the refugees will live around normal poor or middle class people who do not make major foreign policy decisions and the latter will live in rich gated neighborhoods in expensive houses and will probably never set eyes on a refugee in their lives. Whether it's in the interests of the natives to let in so many people who have a legitimate reason to hate the country they are moving to is also something to consider, this being supposedly the only real concern of government after all.
