Cool! Thanks for sharing, I've never heard of Capt. Kim. Here is an excerpt from the link you shared:
> Upon Kim’s arrival in Mississippi, the commander offered him a transfer since “Koreans and Japanese don’t always get along,” due to Japan’s annexation of Korea between 1910 and 1945. But Kim refused to go anywhere. “You’re wrong,” he replied, “they’re Americans, I’m American, and we’re going to fight for America.” Their introduction, however, was not a smooth one. Kim thought the unit looked messy and disorganized. The men of the 100th Infantry didn’t think too much of Kim either; he was a mainlander, he was Korean, and he had not earned his commission at a service academy. Eventually, they bonded over their determination to succeed in combat. “We had to be as good as any other Caucasian outfit,“ Kim later recalled, “…and if we did it well, we’d get the credit.” To ensure his men would be ready once sent overseas, Kim taught them using aggressive tactics that simulated actual combat.
I'd love to know how these people put aside their differences and bonded, but even more interested in a Korean POWs training with Americans that were of Japanese ancestry.
From the original article:
> Its underwater demolition techniques, swim reconnaissance training, and other trailblazing methods were “the beginning vestiges of what would become the Navy SEALs,” says Council.
Just fascinating, I'd like to think these men were brave, but I'm positive they had no other choice and were first seen as the guinea pigs to the higher ups, and they were thinking let's get these Asians to do the crazy shit first and see if it works.
You're right, it's a bad take. It makes sense that they would train Asian people to fight in the Asian battlefields. White spies would stick out like a sore thumb.
Abut 10 years ago, City of Los Angeles tried to ban engine-powered leaf blowers (driven by people tired of the noise pollution) but was reversed when local gardeners made a big stink about it.
Samsung are vertically integrated, but Apple just outsource manufacturing to Foxconn, which has more expertise in the manufacturing of small electronics than Samsung.
And Foxconn have been told to bring up Apple supply lines in India.
Don't start your IT/tech career with AWS certification first.
- Instead, learn some scripting (bash, python). You will need to constantly work on improving this.
- Learn how to set up a Linux server and get a website going, from scratch. Even if you won't do it much in real life, it's helpful to know how it's done.
- Get at least AWS Associate cert.
- Find an employer/manager who will let you work with AWS in lab/production in real life.
But AWS wants you to be all-in, cloud native, ignoring grey bearded old men telling you how the beeps and boops work.
Oh, and look, here's a training exam voucher!
One of the ways China managed to hack into America's F35 (or F22) fighter development program was listening into a conference call of various vendors discussing project status.
One big recommendation for all to watch "The social dilemma" on netflix also.
The social media apps on the phones are specifically agonized over, tested, and refined continuously to increase interaction, aka make users into addicts.
