Mo question, Chinese fakes and theft are an enormous problem, and I'll be among the first to speak against it.

However, no one was forced to compromise quality.

One can always step away from that business or project, stating that if they cannot do it right (or cannot do it right at the demanded cost structure), they will not do it.

I've stepped away from deals for the same reason -- I'm not going to compromise quality and performance to compete with lesser Chinese junk at their prices. Moreover, it is a losing game, as there are a billion of them, and producing cheap low-quality stuff is what they are best at (and in some cases they are rising above that).

They fell to the temptation to compete with the inferior grade materials by providing inferior grade materials with false test results, but they were not forced to do so.

Truth, typing quickly is crucial to getting thoughts out of your brain. Our brains think much faster than we type, so typing is our bottleneck. I am only at 60WPM (tops) and it really helps. It especially helps for the large majority of an engineering/programming job, which is not coding, but communicating.

Also helps writing code big time, but the big win is in communication, and as someone else mentioned during pair programming sessions.

There’s a bunch of good reasons you should reduce or eliminate meat from your diet, including environmental effects but also including your health and mistreating and killing intelligent creatures. If your diet requires people to do things to thinking, feeling animals that would be criminal to do to a dog, maybe having some bacon on your breakfast plate really isn’t that important after all.

Meat is almost perfectly substitutable. So going out of your way to ensure that the beef you eat has low carbon impact isn't really doing much good. All you're doing is ensuring that somebody else won't eat the beef you bought and will eat something with higher carbon impact instead.

Where it does matter is when you choose not to eat meat. Less demand for beef means less beef raised, but which cattle are they going to stop raising -- the low carbon or the high carbon ones? My guess is that the high carbon beef is the marginal beef. When you stop eating beef you cause the price to drop, so the ranchers with the highest costs are going to be the first to go out of business. And carbon is one of the main costs of ranching, so I would predict that stopping eating beef would have a greater than average impact on carbon emissions.

> This is fine in my book as long as they involve more sociologists/psychologists in the process, are transparent about unintended consequences and what behavior modification they are indulging in.

Even with your conditions, this would be the exact opposite of "fine" in my book. The involvement of sociologists/psychologists would make it even worse.
So, I don't know which is more famous, but I do know that there's footage of Armstrong. The page https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/hd/apollo11_hdpage.html links to a side-by-side https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/files/One_Small_Ste... and that shows Armstrong's initial descent, ending with the "One small step" line.

Furthermore, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11 we can read:

> Climbing down the nine-rung ladder, Armstrong pulled a D-ring to deploy the modular equipment stowage assembly (MESA) folded against Eagle's side and activate the TV camera.[120][8]

> Apollo 11 used slow-scan television (TV) incompatible with broadcast TV, so it was displayed on a special monitor and a conventional TV camera viewed this monitor, significantly reducing the quality of the picture.[121] The signal was received at Goldstone in the United States, but with better fidelity by Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station near Canberra in Australia. Minutes later the feed was switched to the more sensitive Parkes radio telescope in Australia.[122] Despite some technical and weather difficulties, ghostly black and white images of the first lunar EVA were received and broadcast to at least 600 million people on Earth.[122] Copies of this video in broadcast format were saved and are widely available, but recordings of the original slow scan source transmission from the lunar surface were likely destroyed during routine magnetic tape re-use at NASA.[121]

Why do you think it's Aldrin's descent which is more famous?
Dumb question, but how can you assume the ranges offered are a normal distribution?
> propaganda from the environmentalism movement of the 70s, which sought to shift the blame for litter

Oh really? Keep America Beautiful was conceived, paid for and started by: Philip Morris, Anheuser-Busch, Pepsi, and Coca-Cola and others. Then they started shifting blame onto the individual.

That was in reaction to Vermont proposing to require deposit and return bottles for drinks, after a surge in single-use packaging litter.

That kind of depends on whether you agree with ancaps on the scope and definition of individual rights; it is, certainly, ancap-consistent.

Yes, but Uber / Lyft loses less money than Tesla.

So Uber / Lyft will fail at a later date than Tesla will fail. Note that Uber/Lyft can potentially become profitable by simply raising prices, but there's no easy way for Tesla to raise prices. (In fact, they haven't really deployed the promised $35,000 M3 yet in wide numbers. Tesla's customers are still expecting price cuts... to get to the $35k number)
Kind of a bummer to see this as I semi rural town with several mobile home parks. They were good places where folks could buy an affordable place rather than rent, and then move up if they could do so later.
With regard to the Boring Company and his transit 'solutions' he's obviously uninformed and ignorant, and his bs has been called out so many times by transit planners, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's just as uninformed and ignorant with his other endeavors.
>If the US were capable of such actions with ease, I feel like we'd see a lot less conflict in the world as political opponents were slowly stifled, and that doesn't seem the case.

This is assuming the less conflict is the desired result. It seems that having conflict leads to greater voter support of taxes being spent to protect against that conflict and to adoption of more authoritarian policies.

There is also far more instances of conspiracy theories being true than just MKUltra, some of which serve to fill in the gap.

Your first link is broken.
> And no one knows what the heck Google / Waymo is doing. All we know is that its working, today, in Phoenix Arizona, where anyone can use Google / Waymo's taxi service TODAY.

This is false.

There are, to the best of anyone's knowledge, a handful of people in the Waymo One program (I'm fairly confident it's less than 10). Everyone in the Early Rider program is still under NDA. In order to be accepted to either, you have to apply. The application process being open to the public does not mean the service is public, anymore than the application process to Google being public means anyone can work at Google.

As to regards to how well it's working...they are definitely in the lead, and they do really have cars driving around, but all of them are still with safety drivers. Until they pull the safety drivers you can't really call them driverless and it shows a lack of faith in their product because it's not ready yet to actually be driverless.

Waymo lost their goodwill when they said they'd have the service you mentioned in 2018, basically pulled a bullshit PR event in order to "fulfill" their promise. It's pretty obvious though it was just so whoever was in charge could get some bonus attached to the timeline, very similar to how Google seems to launch products already - they do it so people can get promoted and then all the important people leave before the product is useful to anyone. It's no secret that almost the entire original team has already left and most of them have started competing against Waymo, so it seems they are confident they can take on Waymo and win - and they'd know better than anyone because they built Waymo.

And Waymo has since gone silent on when they'll expand their program, or pull the driver from the car, or pretty much anything. I agree it's a good idea for them to play their cards close to their chest, but compared to their past posturing that's a sign that it's not around the corner.
In the games industry, we have the "Producer" role which, when executed well, is someone dedicated to organizing the troops, but does not make strategic decisions. So, the producer might sit down with the lead engineer and lead designer and help make sure that the implementation of changes proposed to the design are scheduled realistically.

Even though producers are in a management-like role, they are generally considered on the same tier as other workers (engineers, designers, artists). Their pay grade skews lower than engineering, higher than art and design.

There are still highly-paid product leads and corporate officers all over gaming. But, I wonder if something like the producer role is present elsewhere in the software industry (I've only worked in gaming). Or, if it should be...

I can tell you why I personally care about it. I recently upgraded my gaming PC and I wanted to reinstall Windows on my new SDD. Only I forgot where I put my Windows 7 product key all those years ago and could not for the life of me pull it off of the existing Windows 10 install I had. I spent hours tracking down my key and did eventually find it, which luckily saved me from buying another expensive Windows license. All for what? I don't want Windows, I just want to play the games I've already paid for. If my games and hardware worked reliably on Linux I wouldn't even have to think about it, just download a fresh .iso and I'm off.

Video games being locked into Windows is a huge drag.
The main gap in trust is that facebook does not disclose their source code and have a way for users to confirm their device is running the published code. Fundamentally, if their implementation is properly implementing a published e2e protocol, they should not be able to read the messages, since the only thing traveling in the clear over the wire through their servers are public keys.

> add a huge tree of dependencies without having to think about it.

Keep in mind that the alternative is "I have to build (or pull a prebuilt version of) the entirety of every repo that I depend on". An entire repo is always going to be larger than a single target. Yes you're right that pulling in the entirely of {{some large tool}} because you want `tool.strings.util.mangle_name` is bad.

The alternatives are

1. (multi-repo) You stick mangle name in its own repo (think `left-pad`)

2. (monorepo) Depend on `tool` in its entirety

3. (either, though more common in multi-repo) Everyone re-implements mangle_name. If the way the name is mangled is important, and it changes in the future, you have major issues and incompatibilities. (think IPV4 -> IPV6 for an example where a "global" `parse_addr` function would have made everyone's lives easier). You can bet on the assumption that mangle_name will never change, but then you aren't doing software engineering[1]

All of these are the wrong solution

4. Core utilities like this get factored out into their own files. In a multi-repo environment, everyone depends on the entire core/util repo. In a monorepo environment, you depend on the granular files you need.

4 is the only correct solution, and note that in a monorepo environment it results in you depending on fewer things than in a multi-repo environment. Yes there are a lot of ways to do things wrong, But that's true no matter what tooling you use. When used "correctly", monorepos have the best outcome, and the bad outcomes aren't actually that bad (sometimes longer builds and binary bloat if you don't tree-shake). You always need discipline. Monorepos don't need more.

Fair enough.

Nintendo doesn't write code, people do; we can't say for sure this wasn't intentional. We don't know whether a developer left a trail of backdoors as a protest against Nintendo's well-known policy of tight editorial control of game developers, for example.

However, given the existence of this editorial policy, it's reasonable that they did not intend to include these backdoors in Super Mario World. Perhaps they didn't claw back this title because these backdoors were not known until recently.
Yes, that's also what I though. The new German constitution was heavily based on the Weimar constitution, but the parts that made Weimar unstable were replaced so those failure modes no longer apply, e.g. Weimar's destruktives Misstrauensvotum was replaced by konstruktives Misstrauensvotum, cf [1, 2].
