Source on running out of ammunition? I've never heard that about the US military before
We’re getting to the point where sites might need to embrace ID verification to protect against fake, malicious, farmed, and AI generated content.
You are so right on the QA thing and so wrong on the PM thing. If you have a PM that just came out of uni, your company has no idea what they are doing. Good PM's are really really good at communicating at multiple abstraction levels within multiple levels of the organizational hierarchy. Why? Because they have to build consensus and coalitions to get the things ( money, people, buy-in, details, information ) required to build really good software and build all the ancillary things to sell and support that software. I think what you are calling a PM is what I call a jr. project manager.

> how Twitter was sinking in debt and Elon didn't know how bad it was

Twitter was a public company back then, meaning their finances (till the company was taken private) were publicly disclosed. That information was accessible to Elon Musk, anyone working for him, and even regular investors such as myself.
Yes, that's accurate (though it's far from the only reason). We believe that everyone has to have certain rites performed in order to be saved and they can be performed by proxy for those who have died (my explanation here is somewhat oversimplified and technically not 100% accurate but hopefully you get the basic idea). Those who are dead have to choose to actually accept the baptism performed on their behalf on the other side, so it's not like doing a baptism for a dead person guarantees their salvation.
No such safeguard in Italy: people are regularly tried from three to up to five times.

It’s not rare for someone to be found guilty after having been found not guilty once, and sometimes even twice.

I imagine it has a lot to do with oil company lobbying.
You’re picking out what was obviously an example of a burial rite that involves permanently destroying remains.
And I agree, it’s quite anthropomorphic to assume another intelligent species would place as much emotional value on graves as humans do. There’s really no reason for it other than some historical/superstitious customs.
If you think about how strange and hard to comprehend even fungi or octopuses are, I don’t think we can make any assumptions about the culture of a non-human intelligence. Going as far as claiming they would bodies their deceased is borderline ridiculous.

Who still uses typescript? It's not the mid-2010s anymore. Plain javascript is everywhere and I'd argue using a framework implies an immature project or team.
That Steam idea of giving the viewer more options on how to filter the reviews sounds great actually: Let reviews come in, but allow the viewer to filter against accounts that burst reviews, or by country, etc. Pretty cool idea (because in particular it allows privacy.)

Although really the current concept of "review" is terrible. Few reviews are detailed and specific enough and multi-dimensional enough. They cannot be searched well enough (Although we might be nearly there with LLMs - asking them to critique a book from our point of view and preferences.) It's hard to follow reviewers that you have learned to trust (hard enough to notice them in the first place). Star ratings are not useful in the intended way and only a few sites ask for multi-dimensional star ratings (generally asking to rate irrelevant things :-) Bleh!
Parent might be thinking of those Gallium-Nitride FETs that enable manufacturers to build suspiciously small power bricks.
In a scenario where sea levels rise, and it is surrounded by sand which is then compressed into sedimentary rock which carries it around "nominally" intact I would guess it survives for quite a while. Of course there isn't anything that says we can't create some tungsten spheres as containers to hold memorabilia from the current time. Even if recycled they would not be destroyed. Of course their interiors would get hot too so you're probably want to have your information etched on thin sheets of tungsten insider the sphere.
> while we run out of basic supplies like ammunition

Because they're actively being used in a war in Ukraine at a prodigious rate? And we're spending money ramping up production.

And we're not "running out" -- we're keeping plenty to defend ourselves, we just want to be able to send Ukraine even more.

> and all of our tanks and ships are falling apart.

Source? This is the first I'm hearing of this.

The US has the most powerful and capable military in the world. You're acting like we're spending money on it but are getting something cut-rate in return. But we're not.
I don't think it's so simple. Support for fascism can seem sensible and logical if you let yourself think that between you and greatness stands a minority whose sole purpose is to prevent you from becoming great. You could argue it's not emotion but a calculation coming from struggle and an easy explanation for that struggle.
Not every wrong assumption comes from emotion and we have the whole history of science to prove that.

The issue started back when highways were being built across the US. Subsequently the US deregulated the Rail industry so that it could compete with long-haul trucking. Its been a steady spiral since then. John Oliver did an amazing and informative piece on trains.

Since then, workers get no days off, they reduced the amount of workers on a train to 2 and are trying to get it down to 1 as we speak. They increased the length of trans by literal miles, and these trains have killed multiple people by blocking roadways / ambulances and have run over children who have had to crawl underneath the trains to get to school. This happens multiple times a week where the road is blocked for almost a day.

These conductors have to walk the length of 4 miles to "inspect" the train, and deregulation has pushed the inspection time down to mere minutes instead of an entire checklist. They have taken all the power from the single regulation body and allow trains to run with brakes built in the early 1900s. We have many multiple "accidents" a year with chemical spills, all for profit seeking behavior. These workers are consistently over-worked and cannot take any sick days unless they are scheduled 2-3 months in advance.

Train accidents are inevitable at this point, the next one may be more disastrous than Palestine Ohio. This is the direct result to profit seeking by corporations (who pull in billions a year) and deregulation. It sucks because trains are f*cking awesome and could help society in a million ways.
False flag operations? Amazon slips their own false review gift certificate in. If you use it, they flag you as an ignorable reviewer (shadow ban or whatever).

Oh no negativity in the statement, I'm enjoying every second of it!
> to subvert the test ban treaties

How is this subverting the treaties? The test ban is about not detonating nuclear weapons, and the NIF complies with that.
If you get something and it's complete crap, I doubt a $10 gift certificate is going to convince you to go write a positive review of it. If anything, that'll probably end up motivating you to write a negative review, with further mention of it.

I think it is if the product itself is cheap enough. A $10 product where you get a free $10 gift certificate is essentially free. I think lots of people would be willing to leave a quick 5 star review in exchange for getting the thing they just bought for free, even if the product is kinda crappy. As long as it’s not totally broken and useless!
That good ole folksy Tennessee/Texas/probably-Tennessee wisdom.
Subvocal speech recognition has been going just as long.
It isn't even that veiled. The article points out: 'The NIF was designed not as a power plant, but as a facility to recreate and study the reactions that occur during thermonuclear detonations after the United States halted underground weapons testing in 1992. The higher fusion yields are already being used to advance nuclear-weapons research, and have also fuelled enthusiasm about fusion as a limitless source of clean energy.'
What in the world led you to think that? In the real world, solving problems is more than just a function of how far to the right you slide their budget allocation.
Interesting ploy. Present far-better-than-achieved results right on the front page with no text to explain their origin^, but make them poor enough quality to make it seem as if they might be real.

Naively verified reviews is a way to enforce "mostly positive reviews" - at least in legal-threat-happy countries like the US or the UK.
In general you would apply MISRA only on some critical parts of the software, and the infotainment wouldn't be part of this. At least it was like this when I applied MISRA on high speed trains, and when I worked briefly at the company that invented the airbag, their infotainment box was a windows embedded with 0 SIL2+ software on it. (But I agree with your point tho).
I've worked with dozens and dozens of PMs over the years and almost zero of them do this. Most of this is always done by product designers.

But not over and over and over again.

"Scientists at the laboratory achieved ignition during two further attempts in October. And the laboratory’s calculations suggest that two others in June and September generated slightly more energy than the lasers provided, but not enough to confirm ignition."

It's not like they're running an engine.

Nobody has claimed that this approach is a useful power source since the 1970s. There was, at one time, talk of systems where pellets are injected, zapped with lasers, some fusion and heat results, and this is cycled at some high rate, maybe a few times per second. But that was really political cover for the National Ignition Facility, which is really for studying what happens in an H-bomb without setting one off.

There's an pulsed fusion startup.[1] This is not laser-triggered fusion with inertial containment; it's a combo of magnetic containment and inertial containment, triggered by a huge electrical pulse applied to a plasma. Like the Z-machine at Sandia.

They were supposed to have a demo by the end of 2023. Press releases stopped in July. Uh oh.

What incentive does Amazon have to do this? Best case scenario: they ban and alienate a bunch of customers who bought stuff on the site. Worst case scenario: they spend tons of money on these false flag operations and end up removing a lot of bestselling products from the site, reducing sales overall.
You could report the bribe to Amazon, now and then. (If you believed they would do something about it.)
There’s only two camps, investors and gamers. I think that anyone who wants to “have cards that have relative value” are investors, whether they realize it or not. Its one thing to collect because you like something inherent about the cards themselves (I recall a recent Reddit post where the user was trying to collect every single Magic card that depicted an owl in any way). But if your concern is about the monetary value of the cards in your collection, you are an investor, of some kind.

I personally think cards should be for playing, and am pretty opposed to cards being valuable if that means that playing the actual game becomes prohibitively expensive. Standard decks costing hundreds of dollars is not a good thing.

Open Source Threat Detection
The alternative was to never pursue and invent organization-dependent[1,2] technology in the first place. The dynamics of the macro-system of {human biology + technology + societal dynamics} are so predictable and deterministic that it's argued[3] if there were any entity that is intelligent, replicating and has a self-preservation instinct instead of humans (aliens, intelligent Von Neumann probes, doesn't matter) the path of technological progress which humanity is currently experiencing wouldn't change. That is, the increasing restrictions on the autonomy of individuals and invasion of privacy with the increasing convenience of life and a more efficient civilization.

Ted Kaczynski pretty much predicted the current state of affairs all the way back at 1970s. [1]

Thankfully the world is not infinite so humankind cannot continue this situation for too long. The first Earth Overshoot Day was 31 December 1971, it was August 2 this year.[4] The effects of the nearing population collapse can be easily seen today in the increasing worldwide inflation, interest rates and hostility as the era of abundance comes to an end and resources get scarcer and scarcer. It's important to note that the technological prowess of humanity was only due to having access to basically unlimited energy for decades, not due to some perceived human ingenuity, which can save humankind from extinction-level threats. In fact, humans are pretty incapable of understanding world-scale events and processes and acting accordingly[5], which is another primary reason to not have left the simple non-technological world which the still non-evolved primate-like human brain could intuitively understand.

1: Refer to the manifesto "Industrial Revolution and Its Consequences".

2: Organization-dependent technology: Technology which requires organized effort, as opposed to small scale technology which a single person can produce himself with correct knowledge.

3: By Kaczynski, in the book Anti-Tech Revolution. Freely available online.

4: Biological overshoot occurs when demands placed on an ecosystem by a species exceeds the carrying capacity. Earth Overshoot Day is the day when humanity's demand on nature exceeds Earth's biocapacity. Humanity was able to continue its survival due to phantom carrying capacity.

5: Just take a look at the collective response of humanity to climate change.
It's hard not to read SCOTUS's argument as selfish. The zeroeth amendment of every legal system is "the people shall not waste the judge's time", and apparently it comes even before "we let 10 guilty men go free to save 1 innocent man".

>But now we have the internet. The assholes can see you, touch you, talk to you, even decide what you are allowed to say.

I would say the direction is the opposite. Assholes dont seek people out, people seek out the assholes.

In the real world, people dont walk up to strangers and ask them to disclose their most offensive opinion. However, on the internet people will scroll through pages of agreeable comments looking for something disagreeable.

The same is basically true for reviews too. The physical world default is you dont know what people think. The internet allows people to know what others think, including their dumb opinions, swings, and trends.

Minor quibble but this assumption fails to take in account pedigree collapse.
On November 20, 37 Gigawatt hours of excess wind were produced by wind turbines. That surplus occurred at night, when there is room to spare on the transmission lines running from West Texas to the urban centers in the East. If Texas had 3.7 million EVs they would have had their daily needs met with the wind electricity that was curtailed for lack of demand.

Let that sink in. Surplus like that is nuclear power plant levels of electricity. Now, admittedly, November 20 had wind potential that was near record-breaking. Further, many nights of the week, wind is not producing at surplus levels -- and the idea of million EVs charging would unleash dozens of natural gas plans to fill their nightly needs.

This problem of 'extra wind' plagues about 18 states covered by Southwest Power Pool and Midcontinent ISOs. Further, the cost savings in moving EV demand from wind-poor nights to wind-rich nights only saves about 1¢/kWh in wholesale electric costs. Accordingly, there isn't much of a price signal to get people to change their habits.

So you're arguing something else entirely, gotcha.

> The program is being made less brittle because it is tested in different environments and the practical max amount of dependencies are lower than shipping a custom distro for your program.

If we're talking about web (which is my assumption since images don't make a lot of sense otherwise) there is exactly 0 benefits to testing apps in different environments since they're only going to be deployed in one, right? And either way if that changes you can specifically test for any other envs you want to run your app in, and not let your developers take that pain onto them by fighting deps/configurations along the way.

Either way it's painfully obvious why one is better than the other.
Too much fox/maga media/kremlin propaganda. All the ammo given to Ukraine has been expired and due to be disposed of.
All this choice guarantees is new technology will always be used for bad things first. It holds no sway on whether someone will do something bad with technology, after all it's not just "good people" capable of advancing it. See the atomic bomb vs the atomic power plant.

What's important is how we prepare for and handle inevitable change. Hoping no negative change comes about if we just stay the same is a far worse game.
The next step would be to just ask ChatGPT to write a couple of reviews about the book, and not bother with letting people submit potentially fake reviews at all.

"most successful teams"

For what definition of success, and at what point in the product lifecycle?

I've been on teams as you describe. They were great - as long as nobody had to deliver a working product and you were just running out runway until the next gig. They were also great when the product was already built and we were just KTLO and deliver some new features once in a while. But I haven't seen such teams deliver a product from initial idea to PMF and sustainability.
