This article reads like a terrible puff piece. Wired has really fallen low with a headline and article like this.

No real info, just statements from highly paid execs.

No way Chinese cars would be sold in U.S. or Japan, no idea about EU though. So no, not remotely a threat.

Seriously, this article is garbage.

Yeah, I got pinged twice, in one visit because I moved shit around, trying to organize.

Way more false positives, in my opinions.

The solution is obvious. Hire an auditing firm to audit the auditing firms.

Bonus points if the auditing firm, hired to audit, subcontracts the auditing to the firm they are supposed to audit.

China's subsurface capabilities are laughable at best.

They are decades behind even Russia and pose no real threat to anyone but the same small Asian neighbors they have been bullying for years.

Copy paste that for every continent outside of Europe.

My work is trying to engineer a design /plan for electric school busses connected to the grid.

They are only used for 4-6 hours a day and are stationary the rest. Perfect resource to keep plugged into the grid and help stabilize demand. Our initial study shows they could potentially pay for themselves, but at the very least subsidize their own cost quite significantly.

That my friend is the rare Capsicum annuum uterosi.

Or the super rare development of a uterus and filoppian tubes inside a green peeper.

Do not fuck, I REPEAT, DO NOT FUCK. It can result in conception and gestation of the aromaticus pilas cibum.

That would already be violated during the writing of said constitution.

I have to vastly disagree with this. The argument hat a gun is a necessity is disingenuous at best.

I love my guns, but too many fuckwads treat it like a toy or some sort of social justice equalizer. It has been proven to me time and again that we cant trust people with unfettered access to fire arms.

Y'all can't even have political discourse without being violent. So nope, you don't deserve to have the right to bear arms. (I mean "you" collectively and include myself in this hypothetical).

You are not supposed to operate a car without a license but somehow, trying to regulate guns is big brother trying to take away muh freedoms.

It just doesn't stand up to actual critical thought.

I had a professor that made us use LaTex for our lab reports. Kept telling us it is an industry standard. I knew it was bullshit.

Every time we had a guest speaker come and talk about their work (was in an EE program), I would ask if they used LaTex. ( I was bitter because I felt I was being forced to waste time learning something that I didn't need to).

Every single one said no. Some didn't even know what it was.

The professor always gave me a dirty look, but he never gave me shit about it, but he also never changed his policy.

I've been working as an EE for 3 years now and I have still never seen LaTex in the wild.

I came in to quote my own squadrons' SH-60 readiness was typically 3 out of 6-7 birds. (SH-60F, so I'm old).

I had a pretty solid career , in the Navy, and now I am an electrical engineer, with a pretty awesome family, and we own our own home.

I have two siblings.

My older brother lives in a trailer, can't keep a real job and only ever calls to ask for money.

My older sister has had six kids with four different men. I don't take her calls because she just up and abandoned four of her kids. (Then had her sixth kid with the fourth father).

I have no idea how I avoided that white trash destiny and I am racked with "survivors guilt".
