One thing that fascinates me about Murakami is that his books are so heavy, and yet in interviews he comes across as a normal guy who goes along with the flow, without any mental or emotional problems at all.
I want to point out the stupidity of ww2 fighters dropping a torpedo into a thermal exhaust port, flown by a guy who has never piloted a space craft before.
The language, its standard library and its one and only implementation all sucking are all minor problems compared to Rust's totalitarian community. I don't intend this as an insult, but in my opinion most Rust community members suffer from some degree of autism or Asperger's
I'd rather have that than have so party clowns or people who are obsessed with popularity. What you need for good quality is heavy focus and deep knowledge, and whether or not they have the social skills of a Kardashian is irrelevant.
"Our findings show that, at 12 months, almost half of participants achieved remission to a non-diabetic state and off antidiabetic drugs. Remission of type 2 diabetes is a practical target for primary care."
I think that analysis is too conspiratorial. First is that the US production capability is commonly mentioned as one of the things that won the war. Secondly the use of radar and other antisubmarine techniques enabled the allies to create a safe corridor from America to England, even without breaking codes. In the Pacific, Japan had no chance against the vastly superior western manufacturing capability. Even if they had somehow won at Midway, they would have been inexhorably pushed back, as the Zero became obsolete. Pearl Harbor was aggressive but most of the ships they sunk were repaired. In Europe, you have to look at what happened during the Battle of Britain without the codebreaking techniques. Would England still have gained air superiority? I don't know the answer to that.
They are short, so in honesty it's not a big deal, just painful for a short amount of time. What is the point though? They feel pointless more than anything.
Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Intel has been flailing, the CEO didn't seem to be able to handle it at all, and this is a perfect excuse for people who wanted to get rid of him anyway (and he probably wanted to leave)
In other words, it may be a self-reinforcing Sisyphus racket, or at least could end up that way in the wrong guru hands.
Yeah, you should find out what the guru is going to teach you before you commit 20 years of your life to following him. Ask him what sutra he reads, this stuff hasn't been secret for hundreds of years (if it ever was secret). Ask him what he is going to teach you. Don't commit to following a guy unless you want to go where he will lead you.

Even if "millions" of his books have been sold, that means there are billions of people who have never bought one of his books.
Specifically, even in Japan, the vast majority of people have not read Murakami.

Oh ok, that part is reasonable then lol.
Luke had piloted spacecraft before, and used to hunt small flying prey in them
A speeder that floats two feet off the ground is a spacecraft, is it? Tell me more.

The original series was crap, too. "Luke, I am your father.". Really?
As far as I can see it, George Lucas has two skills:
1) Making memorable characters/scenes. Face it, one of the most vivid characters of all time is Jar Jar Binks.
2) Making people happy when they leave the theater. Even the prequels, when people left the theater, they were happy.

So far I only came across gobbledygook when I look up awakening, enlightenment, and so forth.
I guess it depends where you are looking. The four noble truths make it clear what enlightenment is (non-buddhists have different ideas, though).
That sounds a lot like a status meeting.

Twitter is making over $2billion in revenue a year, which raises the question, how are they able to spend most of it running their little website.
In any case, I was going to blame Trump for this growth, but it seems that's not the case. Revenue has been mostly flat since 2015.
What do the polls say?
Power for herself and her city: the people who voted her into office.
Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Intel has been flailing, the CEO didn't seem to be able to handle it at all, and this is a perfect excuse for people who wanted to get rid of him anyway (and he probably wanted to leave)
What do you want?
Let it be, let it go.
I am the egg man!
Oh babe, you should have seen me before I meditated!

What's your belief?
Why not? You do.
Good, use your own words!
