This kind of poo poo is why I'm always just a little bit skeptical when people talk about how amazing it is that China keeps building these entire new cities from the ground up start to finish in 8 months and why can't we do that in America??

Theres some videos somewhere of people investigating buildings like that and finding literal garbage being used as an aggregate for the concrete, or steel lintels and beams being replaced, by bits of wood and polystyrene blocks and stuff. Really worrying stuff.

Really worrying stuff. It's like stories about how struggling software companies would send bricks to customers to meet their quarter delivery goals, you can always replace the product afterwards but at least you stay above the water for the next quarter and hopefully finish the product but instead of missing diskettes it's missing rebar in a skyscraper

The managers rented a second warehouse in Colorado, where they personally packed 26,000 bricks into hard drive boxes and shipped them to Singapore to bolster the inventory count. After the count was complete, they recalled those serial numbers as defective units. Instead of writing them off, they checked them into inventory, along with other failed drives that had been returned.

MisterOblivious posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiniScribe  I remembered that story but couldn't quite bring back what the industry was. But I also have some recollection of some former software, maybe game developer's retelling of similar schenanigans? Maybe I'm making it up or it's an apocryphal tale. Either way it's absolutely bonkers. Nenonen fucked around with this message at 19:37 on May 6, 2023 |

I'd guess that part of it too is that worker safety isn't a big priority. I work in a construction adjacent industry and on large projects, particularly infrastructure, there's a poo poo load of time taken up by various safety "things". I'd have to guess in china, it's probably more like " oh you refuse to do that because you think it's unsafe? Ok, well you don't have to do it then. You also don't have to work here anymore". */ Looks at subordinate "find someone who likes the smell of airborne asbestos fibers and tell them they just got a promotion".
