In return for the United States providing a safe haven for Flock ( and other companies ) , Flock preferentially hires USA citizens for their workforce, It's called the social contract ( or hemlock-cup for the Randists ). Pork-chop eating workers allow caviar-noshing C-Suites and investors. You say otherwise ? Then a just king would feed Flock executives to the palace lions ... gnosh gnoshgnosh ... gawd don't ya just hate it when feeding lions leave only the feet ...

Why is this labeled "flame bait". Engineers build ... MBAs destroy. It's absolutely true. Must be a sect/nest/cult of MBAs hovering about /. ( or Chi.com disinformation agents ) to destroy any useful insights presented. Or mebby stooges for slimy big-4 consulting companies ...

This is the beta build.

Exactly. Problems like this should be discovered long before a Beta release. This isn't some kind of esoteric corner case.

So it IS the QA/QC testing.

Translation: Microsoft has outsourced its QA to volunteers.

Critical thinking and left-wing politics do not mix. The core fundamentals of left wing politics are envy, government-owned monopolies and a blind historically unjustified faith in authority; Trotsky Lenin and Stalin knew this and acted accordingly. It's endemic among primitive tribes and "effete" parasitic non-producers. The self-organizing natural order with some people at the top, some people in the middle and some people in the bottom is a feature of (re)publican market cultures. This ansatz has long-lasting benefits both in physical wealth and social structures such as trade, technology and marriage .

That's been done by Frank Herbert as well, in Destination: Void. Not a great book though.

"The question will be who's left to determine if the work is done well and who will care." Everyone actually cares. BUT! Poor work will be done systematically by *.ai.

"the social and historical circumstances of the people southwest of the Ural mountains in the 15th century", OTContrary. Ace those courses ( + a language) and 3-letter-agencies will come knocking at your door. My senior year ( many many decades ago ) I happened to grab a library copy of Herman Khans "On Thermonuclear War" --- the kind of book physics majors at a liberal arts college might find interesting. Three months later , bet you can't guess who wrote themselves into my list of employment interviewers ! I chose grad school & academia instead, but figure "they" watched.

You conflate schooling with learning. Of-course schooling ( MS/PhD ) might lead to learning ... but solving all the problems in J.D. Jacksons' "Electrodynamics" , Landau & Lifshitz "Statistical Physics" & Goldsteins "Classical Mechanics" while raising chickens and living in an off-grid cabin will most-certainly shape your intellect ! Just scavenge a slide-rule and leave the F*-A computer/internet turned off.

So ... China allows the financials to define the culture, rather than having the culture define the financial structure. Sound like "somebody" we know ? That's a deliberate choice with known consequences. I mean, consumerism is no more a natural/ synthetic a'priori population phenomena than heroin addiction or deer-horn cults. Yet Chinese leadership has come to prefer productivity over -- say -- emotional insight or brook-trout fishing. How Randish of them and how foolish to learn the worst of American vices. Yes yes I know Chinese leaders were decadent and greedy while Americans still ran around in Dire-Wolfskins.
