What's really interesting is that in 1930's, US had one of the smallest army/armed forces of developed nations. In 1939, which was three months before England declared war on Germany, US Army had about 180,000 men, ranked 19t

>> The U.S. spends more on arms and armies than the next seven biggest spenders combined. I think that is one fact Trump turned around to use as his talking point. That seems to be one reason Trump seems to be annoyed with NATO about.

Strongly agree that the 67% of workers are not quitting, they are leaving for a new job that pays more. My observation is that the higher you are in the pay bracket, the easier you seem to be abel to get a new job as your skills/experi

It's sad to see long term residents getting priced out of a community, and the city/neighborhood turning into playground/home of mostly rich. Same thing is happening near Silicon Beach in southern California, that is coastal

I've heard similar story from a non coding engineer. He's not that old but getting no responses. Apparently his current pay is too high.

I'm sorry but I should've made it clear that it's the few in the Chinese govt that are doing this. Average joe Chinese folks only want to live out happy life like every average joe everywhere else. So I'm sorry that I ca

Chinese companies have their hands in pretty much most of electronic devices used in the world today. NONE of the other nations such as Russian, etc have capacity. I would stop having so called anti-China concern once the people of China st

It's not a matter of just harassing you. There are real consequences with compromised communications. Think of Midway Battle. Think of Enigma. You can say, hey look that proves US/UK govt can spy on you. Never mind Japan/Germ

It will not do well. And not because the food doesn't taste good. It's because of 'customization' every American customer seems to want in a resturant here. Almost no one seems to order food in US as it's offered by

I did not mean to come across as saying I want escape systems to not work. With space launch systems, any use of escape system is dangerous and best to avoid. I think it will be a long time before aborting/escaping from botched space l

Learned something new today. The other Soyuz incident in 1983 was Soyuz 7K-ST No.16L, sometimes known as Soyuz T-10a or T-10-1. Found below from wiki. It was an unsuccessful Soyuz mission intended to visit the Salyut 7 space station, which

They are indeed lucky and unlucky AF. Lucky to be alive after such an incident. Unlucky to have gotten on top of a Soyuz rocket system that failed, when it's been proven to be so incredibly reliable all these years.

I honestly cannot think of any such incident happening in all the years of space exploration. Crewed or not-crewed capsule. And I've watched enough documentaries on Apollo and other space programs. It's the beginning of a very ver

Good managers are rare. Don't trust your manager(s) that they are going to lead/manage/mentor you in a way that will really help you. They are not. If I allowed myself to be really cynical, they are mostly out for themselves.

I looked up and Ando moved to Japan in 1933. Taiwan was under Japanese rule between 1895 and 1945. So in a strict sense, he wasn't an immigrant. Many Koreans also moved to Japan when Korea was under Japanese rule. Many returned to Kor

It is strange because this is a big announcement, that is concrete with real money and people (more soon to be announced). By Elon Musk. But there doesn't seem to be much love for him by the press. Is it because Elon offended the press
