Thank you I couldn't understand at all the complaint. This makes a bit more sense but honestly still decently tasteful?

A body is a body

This is very much the bell curve meme, but those in the know would be aware that the US military had been working on it for a while now.

Steer by wire has been around for about 10 years now, mainly in Nissans.

Q50 was first. But it had a tiny mechanical backup. Toyota will bring a full system in Lexus models this year.

Its wild.

I know you're not the owner of the project, but for your knowledge this is a static page hosted on Github Pages. There's no "responding to demands" like a traditional web app!

Curious, why the cloudflare analytics?

Yeah the missing vr is a real letdown as DR2 was an excellent VR title. But I recall the same thing happened with DR1 and DR2 so it's probably a deliberate ploy for a second wind of sales.

Mind you it's a new engine for once so it's possibly different this time...

Some 12yo's discover it through things like Minecraft and arguably that's the best time to start.

If someone put a "Redstone circuits" unit in a general science class in grade 7, and spent just one day talking about the real-world applications think it would be a success.

The entry level work is definitely considered low value, and I can see why, but I don't think it's any different than a first year accountant or lawyer for example.

Of course the big accounting firms are also starting to rely on outsourcing and foreign hiring strategies but semiconductor has been doing this for 25+ years already.

And accounting is not really a strategic sector
crucial for developing advanced businesses, high value consumer products, and military technologies...

Its a big missed opportunity that will affect the west for decades to come.

There is also an education gap. For whatever reason, this type of work is considered extremely niche in North America and even if 100% of local ECE graduates were hired there would still be both a labour and skill shortage.

Also the majority of the people in the local education programs I've seen are also studying from abroad, so they need a visa once they graduate to actually do the work.

Its odd, since it is such a strategic industry, that there is not a more clear strategy here beyond just hiring abroad to fill the massive gaps.

In some ways these companies benefit from the extra power they have over their workers when they depend on employment for their right to stay in the country, but eventually the companies just end up looking like a less promising risk to take versus just going to work in other countries.
