I've skimmed this article, but what does this mean for most of the people in the US?

I play tested this at the Global Gathering in Portugal earlier this year! This little IRL group game is super cool way to learn about Internet shutdowns and how to work around them! Pushing all the poo-pooing aside this game was actually really fun, and a delightful educational game! It's a great way to talk about Internet shutdowns and circumventions with most people. Also the crew that put it together put in some very solid work to make this a smooth educational tool. Please don't be negative because the delivery method doesn't check all your boxes.

Anchor and Fritz Maytag were a real inspirations to a lot of early craft to microbrewery people. I've known a number of people who can say that the revitiliztion of Anchor was one of the reasons they started breweries..and their influence has influenced others.

They do, but not the depths we're talking about (12,500 feet)

https://navalpost.com/how-deep-can-a-submarine-dive/ The depth limits of the most known nuclear powered submarines’ depth limits, as follows;

Typhoon-class: Test depth 900 m (3,000 ft) Astute-class: Over 300 m (984 ft 3 in) Akula-class: 480 m (1,570 ft) test depth for Akula I and Akula I Improved, 520 m (1,710 ft) for Akula II and III, 600 m (2,000 ft) maximum operating depth Ohio-class: Test depth >240 m (800+ ft) Virginia-class: Test depth >240 m (800+ ft) Borei-class: Test depth 950 m Rubis-class: Test depth 350 m Barracuda-class: Test depth >350 m

I don't believe that the incompetence of the surveillance or police state is a defense of its existence or growth. Furthermore direct physical attacks against the infrastructure of the control only reinforce the perception that it's needed. Also it costs council resources to build, and repair it, resource that could be used for any number of other far more useful ends.

The 127E program from my reading of it seems to involve small US SOF team operating in foreign countries with the logistical/security support of the local government as directed by DOD mission planning. This doesn't sound like proxy warfare, its clandestine direct action warfare. The Tongo Tongo Ambush, appears to be a 127E program with bad outcomes for the US military. Frankly I'd rather have US service members pulling triggers in pursuit of direct US goals, then another countries government acting on our behalf. That all being said, and as Ahelwer pointed out the policies and missions that this type of tool are used for are often misguided, imperialistic and short sighted. The oversight chain is not clear to me either. Thus far the citizenry of the US is happily ignorant of many aspect of US policy and actions.

"Everyone is a high performer or thinks they are at....", but not everyone can be with in a given cohort. But who really knows? The employer might know based on their internal metrics, but is that info worth sharing accurately to the employee? Wouldn't you want your high-performers to think they just might be just good enough to keep "performing up" and costs down?

When this book was published in 1996 this sort of model for reference/inspiration was very common in the graphic design world. I had access to a library of books like this. Part of my job was to either work with an art buyer to get the art into production (having all ready done the production from the CD-ROM) or create a suitable replacement if we couldn't get a good price/were feeling cheap.

A Better Fog-Trap 5 years ago

A 50% increase in collection efficiency of water for the same amount of trap space with no additional product cost is pretty amazing! There is a capital cost of changing the way the traps are manufactured though.

There are plenty of work out there that low skill workers could be doing, that requires uniquely human hands. Some of it doesn't seem that awesome, like say pickup litter, but some of it could be very cool like building trails or planting trees, or building sustainable homes. There are still lots of low problems that can only be solved by human hands.
