The bureaucracy kills a lot of idiotic ideas from the popularity contests that promise the world but break the bank, though.

Reading about things isn’t doing your own research. Thats not what research is. Research should involve an experiment of some kind or getting new data. You are not doing anything close to science.

Hierarchies dont like to be turned upside down on the scale of competence. Managers hate when their managing cant be attributed to a success. The lesson here is if you do something out of band, if you want it to work, find a way to fake the

TSMC guarantees global intervention if China attempts to take Taiwan. The US is not alone.

Heh, NK exists because the CCP pushed the USA back from the Chosin reservoir.

I don’t think it makes sense to go to Taiwan or Israel for analogy; The Average American didnt bleed for either of those places like they did in Korea. But, I think the Canada invasion analogy is also even too weak; Canada doesn’t exist bec

Germany as portrayed doesnt exist anymore. The CCP and USA does. Also, have you noticed how in the US there arent really any “Saving Private Ryan”s about the Korean War?

Here is a movie from 2020 in China that did equivalent of $173 million in RMB: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sacrifice_(2020_film) It is not stale in their psyche.

The Korean War: USA afraid of communisms spread. Sends MacArthur to Korea. He crushes the Korean communists. USA believes it to be a clean sweep. Mao surprise s USA with massive army encirclement of USA forces. USA forced to flee south and

Swap it out for electric. I like how the “other” category of renewables is an exponential. The question is does that exponential get us to where we need to be in 10 years. If the answer is no, then we need to think about what minimizes over

Oh and i forgot the most important one: high resolution satellite pollution maps. A close second is military grade electric flight research.

Destroy oil/gas infra. Deploy more solar. Fund fusion research. Deploy indoor vertical farms. Build structures underground.

We are not scared because of “the news” we are scared because of the graphs of temperature over time. Look at the plot. Find the +1.5C on the y axis. Now find where the plot crosses that on the x axis. We have like 15 years. Perhaps you don

This guy gets it. Global warming is scary because of nukes. The timeline till we get widespread crop problems is 15-20 years.

To be fair the lawyers are mad at us engineers for automating away many of their jobs. I think they’re jealous their profession isn’t top tier anymore.

Yeah, we need to collect more taxes from private enterprise in order to level the playingfield. That way we can fund gov contractors more, who are known to be highly efficient.

The age of WebGPU is almost upon us. Chrome 94 comes out this quarter. I doubt React will be the major player in this next epoch. It will be something new that can pull off an instant load shared world game.

Weird that you’re talking in English without injecting a bunch of literal “noun” “adjective” “adverb” in your sentences. I mean why not really commit to it, ya know? Are programming languages for the human or the computer anyways? Typescrip
