You're operating on the mistaken assumption that code that works now will always work and never need to be modified. You can't leave anything but the simplest things alone forever, because changes to the context/world will eventually require changes to it. If it's spaghetti code, that's going to be causing future bugs that are going to be non-obvious and difficult to discover.
That's because you were studying liberal arts. Switching my major from computer science to philosophy took me from a 2.4 GPA to a 3.9 GPA overnight while eliminating the need for me to study.
Why pilot a landing vehicle when you can splash down? We already have reusable capsules, that part of the cost equation is fine. It's the rockets that we need to figure out ways to land and which cost so much, not the orbiting crew capsules.
China overrunning Japan is a laugh. It was the other way around, and outside of a couple tiny islands China has never claimed any land Japan claims and has never invaded Japan in all history (unless you count the Mongols as Chinese).
1945 tech nukes was plenty good enough to destroy entire cities, and China doesn't have just 2 of them but hundreds. What exactly is the point of delaying higher tech nukes?
If youtube wants to stop freeloading, they can detect and ad-blockers and prevent using the site with one, just like hulu and a bunch of other websites do.
The article says nothing about a requirement to talk about the phone on social media. Obviously any company hopes to get good word of mouth from freebies, but that's a very very different thing than requiring positive reviews in order to get the freebie. Is the headline just attempting to slander LG or is there any source that says there's a positive review requirement?
Your post simply assumes that we should continue buying things we don't need and valuing a new car higher than leisure. If you want $60K/yr then yes you have to work long hours, everyone agrees on that. If you want $10K/yr then perhaps leisure is achievable.
You think that the USA government was founded on the ideal of full participation for everyone, when only white male land owners could vote? Political power is drastically less concentrated in the elite now than it was then, not that now is good.
They do publicly propose increasing military spending, and the people applaud that. What do you think that'll go to? All the reasonable military needs have been met many times over, and nobody's going to say "ah we don't need that much money, here take some back" because that means their department gets the layoffs for admitting it.
10% more? Pathetic. The USA will call you a commie pinko terrorist-sympathizer if you propose reducing the military to 200% more than the next two nations combined.
The point, I think, is that most cars on the road will continue to be ICEs for many decades to come because most cars on the road are old. A quick google says the average age of a car on the road in the USA is 11.4 years. Electric vehicles will have to achieve economical lifespans longer than 10 years in order to make a significant dent in pollution problems.
If you're not worrying about the environment and you're just a rich person shopping for a car, then sure, you can go electric. But the economic implausibility of electric cars dominating the roads should be considered in policy decisions like the current subsidies that are helping the wealthy buy their electric cars for less.
The USA simply didn't do much to stop Israeli spies from stealing the nuclear knowledge, and didn't take any significant diplomatic action against the proliferation after discovering the spying. The appearance is that the USA was glad to be able to proliferate nuclear weapons in an unofficial way so that we could pretend not to be breaking the non-proliferation treaty.
Iran has left the USA alone for 30 years. If you don't want to be the great satan, stop egging their enemies into attacking them with chemical weapons you made and sold... stop funding every terrorist group in their country... stop assassinating academics... stop seizing all their assets and reneging on nuclear power contracts... etc.
Everything in the middle east tends to be a power struggle between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The biggest real danger of Iran getting a nuke, also, is that Saudi Arabia would immediately make their own to counter it.
Your strategy worked so well with North Korea -- orders of magnitude poorer than Iran so they clearly have no capability to build a bomb! Yes, a nuclear power persistently antagonizing a country without any willingness to negotiate is sure going to convince that country not to build the only sure defense and the only sure way to bring the world to the table.
It's been a while since I listened to it, but his idea with Star Wars was to explore Joseph Campbell's monomyth... so he wanted the characters to represent universals rather than individuals.
If you listen to the directory's commentary in Attack of the Clones, Lucas explains that he purposely designed the love scene lines to be stilted and formal and wanted them delivered that way. He wasn't going for realism. You can disagree, but he's made billions his way.
Darth Maul actually had 2 lines. There was "Tatooine is sparsely populated. If the homing trace is correct, I will find them quickly, Master." and then "At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge."
How is a denial of service attack espionage? I don't see China gaining anything. More likely incompetence/corruption allowed their infrastructure to be used in the attack.
Not really true. Many intelligence agencies use a "no comment" policy when caught. For instance the NSA's response when caught was that they refused to comment on the veracity of any documents that they considered to have been obtained illegitimately.

Since it's an ISS delivery, I'd assume NASA chose the launch date.

Besides making people mad, you lose information with "it"... I don't know whether you're talking about a salt shaker or a human without more context.

Musk needs a customer. Even his massive wealth can't cover a joy ride to Mars.

Considering Erdoan has been in power for 12 years, blaming it on previous governments would be rather laughable.
