You have to set up a Meta Pixel and include it into all your webpages for that. Then these events become visible in the Meta Events Manager.

Not to mention that the bombs dropped on Japan were primitive and small fission bombs and pale in comparison to today's thermonuclear warheads.

To be fair, few could have anticipated that Tesla and Musk would be unaffected by valid scrutiny and criticism.

This is also addressed in the article:

> E. DON’T TRY TO SHORT SPACEX!!

> Elon Musk is a cult figure. Moreover, he has again and again proven himself immune to any meaningful market, legal, or regulatory scrutiny.

> Musk’s detractors have been correct about Tesla’s terrible fundamentals, its Full Self-Driving lies, its robotaxi fantasies, its shaky accounting. But when they have imagined these things might affect the stock price, they have been wrong.

Yes, while the article makes some good points the first paragraph was puzzling.

> Unfortunately, they're blinded by their beliefs and can't think things through even one step further.

Yes, our new generation of overlords seem to be socially and emotionally stunted and exhibit an alarming naivete about the world. This worries me almost as much as the tech itself. It is impossible to predict the future but in the past when a ruling class completely disregarded the effects of their greed and excess on the wellbeing of society, at some point the bill came due and the consequences for them (and society) were dire.

May be too specific but as a European in the US, I would love to be able to see temperature in F and C at the same time!

> Bias towards action. Ship. …The quest for perfection is paralyzing.

Unfortunately for users this is more often used as an excuse to ship buggy / badly done software.

Nowhere is this urge (and the reward for it) stronger than HN. In the majority of comment sections, the top comment is one that pounces on a few words from the posted article, however tangential or self-serving.

I feel this so much.

I am always amazed how so many software engineers seem to dislike coding, which seems to be a major underlying theme in the AI-coding cheerleading.

Coding never feels tedious to me. Talking to a chatbot, now that’s tedious.

Yeah, I use goto all the time in C, mostly in the “goto cleanup before return” pattern but sometimes in jumping to different points of a loop. And I know I’m not the only one.

> The authors of the study also propose alternative ways of thinking about the dog-human bond, blending the characteristics of different human relationships – not only the child-parent relationship, but also friendship and partnership - resulting in a unique bond with its own dynamics.

This is only towards the end of the article but addresses what was bothering me throughout it all — that having dogs is only viewed here through the lens of how it relates to having children.

What if some people (like me) simply 1) like dogs 2) don’t want children, and there’s no link?

I love the Apollo 11 computer stories but by today’s standards it was more of an MCU than a computer. And sure, in the embedded space it is true that in a lot of cases error recovery doesn’t make a whole lot of sense and it makes more sense to reset quickly.

But there are many systems today that take a long time to restart so you can’t just abort if you have a chance to recover.

> These seats will increase passenger capacity on airlines by 20 per cent

> Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary […] wants his Boeing's 737 and 800 fitted with 10 rows of them, and 15 rows of traditional seats.

> Michael has suggested the standing tickets may potentially cost as little as £1 to £5.

According to Google, a 737 has a max seating capacity of 230.

Increasing that by 20% would be 46 seats more. So all this to take in around 50-230 pounds (or dollars, whatever) per flight?
