Back in the 1400s, when China sent large groups of ships around the globe, they distributed copies of their 'encyclopedias' as gifts to leaders of other countries they visited.
Many inventions credited to Leonardo da Vinci came from such reference materials.
It's nice to see that original spirit live on today.
I succeeded first in Japan, then S. Korea and finally China. Totaled more than 15 yrs. by the time I came back.
As for 'importing' workers, it helps to know how the hiring works in a given region. In Japan, as an example, most companies rely on agencies to tell them who they want to hire. In Korea, it's HR. In China, it's the group that you will work with, and you don't get near HR until the very end of the process. As for not being keen, keep in mind that the company needs to follow strict visa requirements. The harder it is to fit you into that requirement, the more difficult it is to hire you.
As well, many companies have been stung by wide eyed foreigners who change their mind soon after - all that time an money to get you there goes up in smoke if you cut/run. You need to understand their process better than they do so you can help them to help you.
As an older worker with considerable skills, it was hard to even get an interview stateside, but overseas in Asia, they recognized my value and were more than willing to not only hire me, but pay well for what I brought to the table. In the US, older workers are made to feel like dirt. In Asia, they respect age.
I'd worry about their self-esteem - I mean, being lumped into the same conversation as a company that clearly values profits over honesty is bound to make any robocar flinch when unrelated topics try to occupy the same space at the same time. No wonder skynet went all wicked-witch on mankind.
>The way the summary is written shows some laughably naive understandings of human longevity.
For starters, yes, I agree. It seems more like a kickstarter pitch rather than a way to help anyone in general.

Why did you have to ruin your post with that kind of aggrandizement? Such a sweeping statement is pointless and by now you should know that doing good doesn't mean you need to crow about your deeds as part of the process.
I was with you up to that point. Nerds that 'love' NASA today are not worthy of being called nerds. NASA hasn't deserved anyone's love for several decades. NASA today is all about theater & FUD that begs funding so they can keep looking under the bed for monsters that don't exist. Your nerd is nothing but a shill, then. We won't get into what that makes you, but if you come to your senses, you might save your brand.
Breakdown by region doesn't mean anything. IMHE, India should be a top offender. Maybe the fails in the US are all from native Indians and Bulgarians....we don't know.
And how much will it cost to solve that $535k problem....we used to spend 4 hours on the clock making a tool that saved 15 minutes, so - you know, like, ROI?
I have a 1990 Ford that I've done so many mods to in that example....but it's not alone, so i'd say the most is anything you're not making payments on and is out of warranty.
Where less than 20% of the MBAs are employable. They'll do anything to get that skin, and then do nothing with it but weedle. I had to interview over 5k of them just to come up with 150 that were anywhere near hiring, and 10% of those didn't make the first six months. That figure fell to 50% after two years, as they were constantly looking for lateral moves inside the country. The country? China.

Every home is an energy battery. This example isn't that big, but good on tesla for staying in the news cycle.
I know first hand who helped flag that thread for removal and good on them, devForums has enough off-topic rant chatter as it is.
It was nothing more than an off-topic thread, so glad to see the clean up.
If you mean a rambling off-topic rant now removed, sure. Took a few days, but it thankfully no longer litters devForums.

Sit down with transcription software and read those books aloud. Done.
> How many times can they reuse the rocket?
More than once.
>Once the lower stage has burned through its propellant
It's liable to land with a severely damaging thud if all it's propellant has been lost.
No images....it's now ok to lie about content upfront, thanks.

Too near for my liking...
>and about the same time humans nearly became extinct.
Can't be - there's at least one living right across the street.
How we go from camping to parenting just got way more complicated than either needs to be.

Time to scrub the "...best known for his/her work on DC" from WP.
I think two hosts are plenty, BTW. Dilution always hurts a brand when carried too far.
I'm sure google won't tell anyone about your interests in such things...
...I'd known that to be hired by IBM meant you first had to be trained by IBM. Would have saved me four years of college.
