A Little Boy design requires an artillery tube and regular explosive. It can be built from a standing start with 1940s technology and is so straightforward the Manhattan Project didn't need to test it.
The incidents I read about that led to the doctrine of Crew Resource Management were from American carriers. Captains would try to do everything themselves and ignore their teammates.
We're talking about a human interaction failure mode, not some exotic Asian culture thing.
There's a lot of "fourth monkey" dynamics that goes into it. It's especially hard to stop infighting when you've spent decades selecting employees to be, what's a polite word, "competitive".
You have to have a clear notion of what's expected to identify irony, and that's a function of the topic, the venue, and the history of the writer.
Fortunately, the utter brilliance the designers have shown by thinking of the idea in the first place will carry them beyond such minor details and bring them complete success.
I once developed software at a company that was mostly a manufacturer. It was unionized. The union for the manufacturing workers would occasionally send out examples of people who did things the union had no interest in helping them out of.
The economic idea of an efficient market is one where nobody can force an outcome with superior bargaining power.
You get a market-clearing price that reflects supply and demand when the parties meet as equals.
A software developer applying at Electronic Arts is not as bad off as a single mother applying to Wal-Mart, but is definitely not on a level playing field.
Oh, "reinvest in his business" is an idea from the past. People used to do that, but today any surplus is going to pay the management fees of the private equity company or to pay the interest on the loan the private equity company made the business take out to pay the "special dividend".
The central power station is not making its emissions a few feet from the sidewalk. Its pollution controls aren't restricted by weight or the need for portability.
It's also way more efficient.
Electrifying the vehicle fleet is like modularizing your code. Instead of being tied to petroleum, with an electric fleet you can snap in nuclear, tidal, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, or whatever else turns out to be a good idea.
The parent shows you the effects of a careful propaganda campaign to divide the voters.
The propaganda machine counts pensioners together with welfare recipients to "prove" that government is keeping everyone dependent. That's Romney's "47%": anyone who pays into the system and expects to get anything back out is a "taker".
Two mainstream Presidential candidates tried to make food stamps a racial issue and claimed that all the children, disabled people, and Wal-Mart workers who receive them are lazy deadbeats.
If you can keep half the victims resenting the other half, you are well prepared to implement Jay Gould's solution: 'I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half".
>I could be in a better financial position if I quit my job, declared bakruptcy, and took the handouts.
See the victory of the propaganda? They've got somebody believing this even though he has an Internet connection and could find out the truth within minutes.
I worked for a military contractor once and was told that there was a good reason not to talk about classified material even after it appeared in the press. Our enemies couldn't be sure that the press reports were right, not without confirmation from classified sources.
The military has now done what I was told not to, confirming the authenticity of the Guardian report.
It's key to the whole idea of a unified country that states recognize each other's legal actions. That's why it's in black and white.
Ignoring another state's marriage violates the spirit of the constitution, its plain language, and hundreds of years of precedent, including precedent about marriages and divorces (see history of Nevada).
Knowing the data structures gives you the ground work for understanding what the code is doing. The data structures are a more direct description of the design decisions.

Have a shell insulated from the cargo that's jettisoned once you're out of the atmosphere.
The faster you go through dense air, the more energy you waste.
As accuracy has improved there's been less pressure to compensate for missing by simply destroying more things.

It's inefficient and unsafe but it works.

They could even bring back a former executive.

Not sure how that could have happened if business were fleeing the state en masse.
Just curious: do you know any government workers? You think the librarians at the city library are overpaid? That teachers don't work hard enough?
The Economist did a piece years ago about California's fiscal problems. Look it up.

Over its lifetime? Per year? Per what?

Brains are as much physical organs as livers or ovaries.
Imagine the tantrum North Korea will throw when one of these drifts through its airspace and gives the population unfiltered Internet access.
They're not the only place that would have an explosion over uncontrolled Internet.
If your data is on an Internet-connected computer you have already accepted some amount of risk.
The Constitution, for excellent reasons, limits treason charges to making war against the US or joining its enemies.
Security supposedly means protecting our freedom. If so, they are one and the same, and there can't even theoretically be a tradeoff.
Not to mention that the entire point of the leak was that the government is deliberately spying on non-terrorists.
