Squizzy

They are not the devil they are portrayed to be for sure, its a hardline to walk to withold judgement on actions we have moved past. Its why we judge thr middle east for not letting women vote or gays exist despite these things not being too far from our modern society.

That said China works better for the collective while the "leaders of the free world" operate on some notions of personal freedoms. China has absolutely not lifted everyone out of poverty, poverty is still as present to the same extent for a lot of the population. All the while they are a force for misinformation, road blocking progress as a global community. They are an aggressive neighbour for all in their region.

If you want societal progress it need not come with blood and bone, while reducing discourse and enabling authoritarianism. I'd sooner cycle.

The liberation of humanity comment is worrying

I understand the argument but there is far less issues and costs associated with fibre connections which are virtually limitless in terms of speed - theoretical limits apply butbwe are still seeing new equipment at either ends that allow for multiple tbps speeds.

"I absolutely can operate to lines of code per month but until we agree detailed targets with our client we will be building roads to nowhere. Instead we could be using this time to focus on process improvement, documentation and acclimarising new staff"

I dont build roads or write code but this the gist.

Aalso our project is long term, somewhat changeable and dependent on industrial agreements outside our team.

Just did a review and we successfully removed KPIs from our project by pointing out that we could hit the targets and cost the company money or we could operate as required instead of trying to please metrics that, while relevant at a surface level, are impacted by external forces.

Ugh, but even so popularising the protocol would make it prohibitively expensive to increase the odds of interacting with threat actors. Its never 100% but its not worse.

Yeah the problem with them is they bring everyone down to their level when things go shit. Selfish by nature.

Ugh the world is headed for dark times, cyber curtains dropping, increasing protectionism - we are headed for more wars.

Especially with how the americans conduct themselves on the world stage.

It could have gone anywhere, the rumour was modern day third to close out the story.

It could have gone to settlements in space, templar industry types creating advanced cities to escape a doomed earth allowing for a cryogenically frozen Desmond to believeably do some of the stunt in space conditions.

Instead they picked random times and shoehorned in a rethread story barely expanding on the lore by walking all over it.

The AC towers were fun and made sense, I never had a problem with it...its the repititions and lack of innovation that is boring.

Would have loved to see the original vision through

Is Jedi not considered open world? I get that it has closed off parts and progress gatekeeping but you ae free to ram entirely and travel between planets. Most planets are not linear levels and have other stuff to do.
