Pretty much. I always shake my head at people who tell these stories as if they were the best thing ever, and I have to bite my tongue to keep from groaning and saying something nasty when they get to the part where "and the whole theater applauded when the credits rolled." No, no, no, no, no, no, NO! The movie is not a theater production, and unless you're at a premiere with the cast and crew, no one in that movie cares that you applauded for them.
Give me a DVD or streaming version and I'll watch the movie and appreciate it, I might even post on social media about it. But I'm not going to be a dumbass and applaud.
Or at least a discount. If I'm going to see your movie, and then buy it, at full price each time, I might as well just wait until the DVD is out and pay once.
Even the space race was all about missile capacity. When Sputnik was launched, the US realized Russia had the ability to put a nuclear warhead down anywhere in the US. Up until the 50s, their tactic had been long-range bombers, but that was scaled back significantly (and ICMBs emphasized) once the space age began. The manned Mercury program was an evolution of this, launching on a converted ICBM rocket for Mercury 1 and 2. We likely would never have put a man on the moon without the military leading the way on ICBM technology, along with a host of other technologies.
Pretty much, just like finding the circumference of a circle is just plugging the radius into pi*2r. You don't need to calculate pi, or derive the formula yourself, only know that it exists and how to use it.
So make the expectations clear. Isn't that what you would do for an employee on a daily basis? Stacking the deck against the candidate by asking an academic-style question and not expecting an academic-style answer is a poor method for getting a good result. Just be open in the interview by stating up front that you're not looking for A-grade answers or code that necessarily compiles perfectly, but conceptual understanding and to see a candidate's coding process.
Maybe you already do that, but hopefully others who don't will start so the interview process can become a more useful measure.
Maybe for 'hey, this movie plotline is like that other movie plotline' but not for 'Actor is actually 5' 4", despite them appearing the same size as Taller Actor in the movie.'
They're the result of the "everyone gets a trophy" policies.
And who demanded the trophies? Not the millenials as kids. They were handed the trophy no matter what they did, lose or win. If this is the 'normal' that they're taught (again, by whom?) then what are they to expect in adulthood?
The boomers created their own disaster by raising kids to believe they could do anything they wanted and they'd get a participation trophy for their efforts, no matter how little.
That's typical when the original trademark/brand is still with the original license-holder. Forking with a new name allows the work to continue without a legal fight.
We sort of do, just not on national popular vote. We elect them, in general, based on state popular votes. While states are technically allowed to choose their electors any way they want, most choose the group affiliated with the ticket that won their state popular vote (apart from Maine and Nebraska who partition the votes). While they could if they wanted to, none of the states do crazy things like choosing electors based on a mouse race or paintball fight or any such nonsense. Barring some drastic change in the future, the way the majority of your state votes is the way your electors vote for the most part.
I'm sure the folks in Europe are reassured that their diesel cars are producing less pollution. Meanwhile, they're forced to take public transit every other day in Paris due to pollution from...diesel.

I wondered why my latest packages have come with buttered and salted packing material.

You clearly haven't watched any of Amazon's original comedies. Talk about your steaming piles of garbage.

Play On Linux can do a respectable number of Windows games, especially those 5+ years old at this point. Newer stuff, yeah, that's a pickle.
Is Chapeau the Linux Mint of Fedora?
Not if you want circumference. If you want area, that's correct.
Pretty much, just like finding the circumference of a circle is just plugging the radius into pi*2r. You don't need to calculate pi, or derive the formula yourself, only know that it exists and how to use it.
Considering the myriad of tech companies out there, this is entirely possible.

No, but I walk into the theater 15 minutes after "showtime" to skip all the commercials that are now shown before the previews even start.
Greed must be out of control in the US. I have TV/Phone/Gigabit for $20.
There, now it's accurate.

CBS makes its own shows obsolete. See: Enterprise.
Rather than a leak, they purposefully published their finances, including salaries for Peters and his fulfillment manager.
Look into Renegades, Tim Russ' project, which basically did that very thing.
He took two characters. Garth of Izar and Ambassador Soval, from TOS and Enterprise respectively.

If you have a Living Will (Health Care Directive) in your medical records, this is one way.
If you lower that age to 40, you'd be closer to the money.

Yep, Trump is definitely going to be relying on the Anonymous Cowards of the nation to do his dirty work for him. This checks out.
