Still looking for a replacement for 'Ford makes good tractors'. Mom said if I didn't have anything nice to say, say nothing. For now I say nothing about Fords.
New VWs (VW/Porsche/Audi) are _terrible_ cars. Even my German relatives have them on the 'never again' list, much as it pained them to get there.
The first step to replace a brake master cylinder on a new 'bug': Remove front bumper...no joke. Like the old joke about British cars. (To replace the headlight, first remove the back bumper, disassemble going forward until you reach the headlamp...)
300SD were eurotaxis. They were built for a market that puts a million miles on a vehicle, but doesn't get emotional about keeping it going past its economic life.
Tastes like alka seltzer. But it's hardly unique, the whole world has crap beers. Even Germany: Warsteiner.
Don't even get me started on the Mexicans, Aussies or Canadians. There are many nations with worse beer than America, even before all the microbreweries. And Guinness, the world's most overrated beer, no worse stout on the planet. Watney's Red Barrel? Piss is everywhere. Some people like it, no accounting for taste.
Pot is over. Even when the feds try to enforce their pot laws, they can't find juries to convict. We saw this under Obama. Raids on legal pot businesses went up, but they basically can't get convictions.
After Carlos Danger and Hillary, they will get serious about securing their personal devices, understanding that their is no legal remedy for this problem, but their is a technical one.
Look how long it takes an experienced company (Boeing or Airbus) to get a new airplane certified with nothing newer than updated engines and fuselage stretch.
This company has zero experience and are claiming they will do something new (and impossible with today's batteries). 10 years is _impossible_.
Which doesn't even start into all the obvious signs of scam.
If you believe it, don't let me stop you from investing your money. Invest it all, go for it.
A CS could also spend a year converting your data structure to the 75th normal form and make everything slower in the process.
CS proves nothing, degrees prove nothing. Enough colleges suck to devalue the degrees to near zero. Some recent CS grads are worth hiring, but it's a clear minority.
Fires happen. Even with the best of teams. HR gets involved and a seat is filled. Six months later you get back to a block of code and WTF happened? How did this pass QA and code review?
Nobody likes it, but I've yet to find a long term solution. I've quit, more than once, over teams being ruined by rapid growth and 'he was the best we interviewed'. Was clearly net negative worker who, at best, could have maintained some simple reports. Shouldn't have gotten out of probation, even if you accept the premise that he was the best available at hire time (which I knew to be bullshit).
At least in one case they were punishing me for turning down a management position. If they had told me directly: 'If you don't take the job, we'll give it to Li.' I'd have mentally quit then and there, actually quit a few weeks later, once I found another job.
More SW jobs suck than don't. Even when they don't suck initially, they often change with growth or acquisition.
'Process immaturity model' is usually a better metric than 'process maturity model'. Even/especially in organizations that claim all sorts of nonsense about their processes.
They would have to have the airplane largely designed and in early initial prototype to have it certified for commercial service in 10 years. This is pure bullshit seeking dumb investor money.
I approve: 'A fool and their money were lucky to get together in the first place.'
Nobody goes to a big consulting firm like 'Toilet and Douche' for accurate numbers. They go to be told what they want to hear and get cover for their decisions.

Rand wrote one thing worth reading: 'We the Living'. It's not long and is the most accurate assessment of marxism ever written.

I believe abortion should be legal until the 75th trimester. Either parent. Quick way out of child support payments.
It's unlikely there will be a legal solution to corporate snooping.
The only possible solution to government snooping is technical. Which will solve the first problem as a bonus.
After Carlos Danger and Hillary, they will get serious about securing their personal devices, understanding that their is no legal remedy for this problem, but their is a technical one.
Also: Never sign a petition or donate money to a political cause.
It can end your working life. I'm waiting for some company to simply fire all their democrats. Then they will understand.
Don't feed the trolls. Let them stew in their hate, it's eating them up inside.
The net is global. Anything that accelerates the use of VPNs is a good thing.
The government always writes in exceptions for themselves, can't be trusted, a technical solution is required.
We're not done until a Tor like network _ships_ with every OS, of course the smart move will be not to use the default browser or VPN/dark net.

Legal smegal. God damn law abiders.
10 years. Civil aviation.
Some things are genuinely _impossible_. Other things are obvious scams. This is both.

'Coding' Jr college degrees are the same.
Klingon coding...
Copy con: program.exe
Then enter structure, opcodes and data with Alt-keypad.
Comments...where would those go?
You should invest your entire retirement savings with them. It's a sure thing.
Could you build a turbine that runs on flaming batteries? They have CTs that run on powdered coal (at least a % after start).
Paris/London. They just need to get altitude and glide the rest of the way.
Also: Whoosh.
I'll take: Never gets off the ground, no prototype ever built. Executives at startup pay themselves all the capital and fold the venture.
