splitstud··on Asking developers to do QA is broken – why anyone should own QA
But then you're settling for low quality testing. There's an excellent methodology a good test team uses on devs that throw it over the wall. They throw it back with the first bug report.

Figure out where we're going to get the metals for all the batteries it will take to create the world these dreamers want. You'll soon see that the entire scheme is fantasy.

You won't BE addressing them in a city, you will be addressing them in a field or a mine. You will either have to live the standard of living you are apparently unwittingly espousing, or you won't be addressing what you see as the problem.

The dirt roads their food travels on no less. Urbanites are truly shortsighted in their beliefs that the rest of the world depends on them, when the opposite is true. As if history does not show that cities come from successful settled areas rather than the opposite.

Millennials were born with better timing than early genx for example. They were hardly put under the gun, and shouldn't elicit any particular amount of concern. Given their propensity for voting for the greatest threat to Middle class status (expansion of immigration both legal and illegal), I'd say they have themselves to blame for their circumstances.

Blackrock? Look it's way simpler than that. Interest rates aren't going up, and will not be going up appreciably in 2023 or any other year, because we simply can not afford to pay higher interest on the debt.

splitstud··on Daniel Ellsberg: The 90-year-old whistleblower tempting prosecution
China is constrained by its reliance on western markets. Full stop. It would hurt to pull the plug, but if they cross a line it will happen and they know it.
splitstud··on Hundreds of fishing vessels vanishing along Argentina’s waters
We generally expect models to have predictive value, at least through a set of historic data, before we lens them much credence. We have made an exception for climate models. I believe following basic scientific procedures is a better plan than listening to what amounts to a widely-hekd belief structure. It is particularly galling when we could be using time and effort to combat the proven environmental catastrophes such as air and water qualities, deforestation, and issues such as the one that started this thread.
