You start with macroscopic photolithography, add material science of semiconductors and then iterate a million times. It didn't start at nanoscale.

What you don't get is a feeling for how common these failures occur though.

The sieve guy?

We used to have standardized package sizes in the EU for things like butter, chocolate, etc. So stupid to give that up

By God, just get an electric stove like the rest of the world.

Also amount of storage. When Gmail first launched it offered a gig of storage or so, while other email providers had around 10 megabytes.

American History X. I wasn't ready for the curb scene.

Programming term. Variables in programming languages can hold different types of data, such as whole numbers, floating point numbers or strings of characters ("text"). Untyped languages figure out on the fly what can and cannot be done to the content of a variable, while typed languages strictly keep track of the type of content (not the value) to catch bugs and improve performance, for example.

Ursula Le Guin of Earthsea fame put it nicely:

Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their truth-telling to sentimental platitude. heroes brandish their swords, lasers, wands, as mechanically as combine harvesters, reaping profits. Profoundly disturbing moral choices are sanitized, made cute, made safe. The passionately conceived ideas of the great story-tellers are copied, stereotyped, reduced to toys, molded in bright-colored plastic, advertised, sold, broken, junked, replaceable, interchangeable.

What the commodifiers of fantasy count on and exploit is the insuperable imagination of the reader, child or adult, which gives even these dead things life- of a sort, for a while.

Critical mainframe legacy banking software runs on Gameboy color!

And what "serious psychiatric care" do you even think there is for it? Unless you also believe in gay conversion camps, we have nothing. We don't even really know how sexuality actually works in the brain, we definitely aren't anywhere close to being able to treat it.

There's programmes that focus on how to deal with it in a societally acceptable way, mainly on how not to become a predator. That's a pretty good start.
