「台灣在我們患難時相助,我們美國人,是會記得這種事的...這就是來自美國的愛。」
美國參議員蘇利文(Dan Sullivan, R-AK)
2021/6/6 9:30 訪台記者會
(聽打、翻譯,基隆市議員 張之豪)
感謝大家,回來台灣真好。首先我要再次強調,雖然眾所週知,但實在很重要,值得我再度強調。美國在印太區域推動安全、繁榮與民主,有悠久的歷史。我們就是一個亞太國家。我們在這個世界關鍵的區域已經數世紀之久,未來的世紀,我們也將繼續留在這裡。
25年前,我以美國海軍陸戰隊兩棲戰鬥小組的身份,被派駐到台灣海峽區域,在台灣民主很艱困也關鍵的時刻,台灣首次總統大選的前夕。這是美國對台灣安全、繁榮、民主的承諾與決心的展現。
而現在我很榮幸回來台灣,協同一個強健的美國跨黨派參議員代表團。在我們憲法之下,參議員對美國外交政策有關鍵性的角色。台灣關係法(的制定)正是此角色發揮影響的範例。台灣關係法讓美國得以對台灣提供支援,並也幫助台灣抵抗各種的威脅。美國對台灣繁榮、民主、安全的支持,維持的堅若磐石,並也非常跨黨派,正如你眼前的代表團,共和黨與民主黨。這個支持當然也包含支援台灣的人民。
去年,從中国武汉爆發的全球疫情,中国共产党展現出的特性是「不透明」、「沒有全球合作」。今天,非常強烈的對比下,美國正帶領著全球的救援工作,在一個開放與合作的精神下,與我們的朋友、夥伴與同盟,為全球疫情帶來數以千萬,高度有效的疫苗,相當大程度是來自美國人智慧的研發,要給全世界每個角落,包括台灣。而我們在做此事時,也與我們的夥伴、朋友、與同盟,高度配合,如日本,最近也才剛宣佈要把關鍵的疫苗捐給台灣。
讓我再強調,剛才達克沃絲議員有講到的,朋友、夥伴,大家彼此扶持,這是互相的。而我們美國人,是會記得這種事的。看我的口罩,台灣在疫情初期,送了1000萬個口罩給美國,這是其中之ㄧ。如果你看得到,這上面寫「來自台灣的愛」。上面還有旗子,代表我們兩邊的人民。所以我現在在此說,這就是「來自美國的愛」,回報。我們非常高興來此,來跟大家宣佈這個疫苗的重要公告,謝謝您。

Landing speech 2021/6/6
(Taipei International Airport)
Dan Sullivan, R-AK
Thank you everybody, it’s great to be back in Taiwan. I want to begin by mentioning something that, I think most people know but it’s always important to reiterate. The United States has a long history of advancing security, prosperity and democracy in the Indo Pacific Area. We are an Asia-Pacific Nation. We have been in this critical region of the world for centuries, and will be here in the future for centuries to come.
Over 25 years ago, I was deployed to this region as part of the United States Marine Corps Amphibious Task force, specifically to the Taiwan Strait, during a very challenging and critical time for Taiwan’s democracy on the eve of Taiwan’s first presidential election. That was an important demonstration of American resolve and commitment to Taiwan’s security, prosperity, and democracy.
And now I am honored to be back in Taiwan with a strong bipartisan delegation of United States Senators. Under our constitution, the Senate has a critical role in American Foreign Policy. And the Taiwan Relations Act is an important demonstration of this senatorial role. That Act makes it the United States’s policy to provide assistance to Taiwan, to enable it to resist all kinds of coercion. American support for Taiwan’s prosperity democracy and security remains rock solid and is very bipartisan as you can see from this delegation of United States Senators, Republican and Democrats. This support also extends to the help of people of Taiwan.
Last year, a global pandemic from Wuhan China, that was characterized by a lack of transparency, and a lack of international cooperation, by the Chinese Communist Party. Today, in dramatic contrast, the United States is leading International relief effort, in an open and cooperative spirit with our friends and partners and allies to bring relief from this global pandemic with tens and millions of highly effective vaccines, many developed with American ingenuity to all parts of the world, including Taiwan. And we are doing this in close coordination, with our partners and friends, and allies, like Japan, who also recently announced significant vaccines to the people of Taiwan. Let me conclude by emphasizing the point that Senator Duckworth already mentioned, This is a two way street with regards to friends and partners who look out for each other. And We in the United States remember these things. Look at my mask, there is over 10 million masks that came from Taiwan to the United States at the early stages of this pandemic. This is one of them. By the way if you can see it, it says love from Taiwan. Nice flags representing both of our peoples. So now I say, this is love from America, in return. And we are very please to be here. Making this important announcement on vaccines. Thank you.

以下來自 Ian:
1)
這篇文章的核心前提,是『重寫』
只有一開始就把很多東西做好,相對獨立且沒有過去包袱的專案才能這樣搞出十倍速,比如Voyager Mobile App
其他division 的產品與系統,有太多跟舊系統交雜在一起而動不了的,就不可能達到他講的3X3,因為有需要在那些系統上開發,就是會很慢
然後他還有一個假設就是做這個專案的從頭都是某個人做中間不換人,LinkedIn的平均工程師年資就是2.5年,所以,他在專案開始啟動的那兩年可能是可以的,兩年之後就很難說了,因為新加入的人也不可能可以這麼快入手,起碼以我觀察LinkedIn內部做Knowledge transfer 就是沒那麼快(但LinkedIn 可能是算快的)
針對這一點,現在需要搞軟體開發的公司,都應該要有一個Tools Team,而這個team 其中一項最重要的業務,就是開發維護一套公司內部使用的KMS系統,而這套系統的核心必定是一個Omni Search Engine,能夠跨越多個異質CMS 平台、EMail、IM、VCS 把所有的自然語言與程式語言的內容都能集成在搜尋結果(Google search result + web IDE)中呈現,沒有這個,只靠現成的外部工具提供的功能,找來的人平均會需要至少兩到三倍的時間才能進入情況(LinkedIn 有這個,超好用!)
最後一個需要的是高度客製化的CI系統,這種平台的CI系統不能有太多人為介入得要全自動,整個流水線過程中發生的任何錯誤,都能在第一時間全自動的通知『真正的負責人』,包含log、request context, call tree graph都提供,才能讓開發人員不會害怕系統出錯,而不必在開發階段搞很多很複雜的E2E Test
至於測試,這段老實說就是設計架構切割是不是有真的切在對的邊界上,一旦切錯,測試不是很難寫就是寫一堆沒用的,而且我在LinkedIn後期,還是有產品線為了衝Craftsmanship 指標搞出要求工程師 code coverage 90%的要求
我覺得對於backend,真正重要的是distributed Log management system,還有像是Datadog 這樣快速方便的 System Monitoring 服務,在寫程式的時候把這些一開始就根據業務邏輯規劃進去,然後確保觀察得到的與預測符合,這些在現在都比拼測試重要,因為Microservices 之後,對於很上游的Upstream 服務,要對每個Downstream Service 一開始就搞出範圍適當的defensive programming 是很麻煩的
這其實也是一個後端架構上的硬需求,也就是每一個Module 在software stack 上 ,對於他使用的任何Downstream Service 怎麼做Async + Failover + Timeout + Circuit Breaker + Monitoring & Instrumentation + Graceful Degradation + Logging & Alerting ... 都要有方案且預先做出來,不然想要App backend developer 在後端一邊搞Home Made solution 一邊還要拼出3X3 的效率也是不可能的。
2)
其實好的產品開發工程團隊,一定要持續規劃有人去conclude 系統中的共通需求,透過共識討論找到合適的解決方案,然後也一定要有農閒期,好讓這種共識得出的艱難改造有喘息的機會上線
這個佔總體開發量大概至少得要15% ~ 20%,也就是團隊如果有10個專職開發者,那至少要有一個名額(不同專長的人輪流)負責幫大家把刀磨利、把工具保養好
不然熵會把系統吃掉的。
Joey: 完全認同,全局優化,避免重工、多頭馬車、穀倉、無法相容異質系統的影響,永遠都在熵的影響下消耗掉所有產能。
就是那個「壯士斷腕」的決心,要把有能力的人拉出來搞全局的、長期的健壯性,很多公司跨不過去,除非已經有一個起家厝在養家了。
Ian:
問題就是方形的車輪滾不遠,做產品的團隊經營超過一年後還沒有建立閒置產能,那第二年就會在不同的專業領域接連出現技術落伍的現象,而好的工程師都是很敏感的,當老闆持續消耗自己的職業壽命賺錢或求生的時候,他自然會考慮繼續待著機會成本是否划算
這種考慮講個幾次,越是有野心、有衝勁、early adopter 類型的人才就會越早流失,而這是最糟糕的,因為這種人才是幫助公司導入新技術、保持團隊知識領先的關鍵火星塞,所以這種人被天擇掉了之後,剩下來的人不論在價值觀、還是行為慣性上都會更保守、更抗拒變化
這一但超過一個閥值(或者說事件地平線)就不可能回來,這間公司不論當時訂單多少、市場再大都要走入平庸了
當然,如果他家大業大而且上層還能持續透過併購招募新血,那或許還能透過慣性再小衝一段,但都是減緩衰退續命而已。

【歐盟回我信了】
#究竟他們能源政策有無核能 #信中說有
雖然防疫期間大家已經不太關心能源議題發生甚麼事,但猶豫一下後,還是現在把訊息放上來。關於前陣子歐盟能源政策與台灣事實查核中心的爭議一事,我在事實查核中心對我提出的資料文件不採信也不修改文字後,我們一群小朋友將他們查核報告中的結論翻作英文,寫信去歐盟請求協助。
而稍早,過了大約一個月,他們也回覆我了,雖然簡短且附上的訊息都是我看過且呈現給大家過的文件,但我想應該已經足夠。也感謝這些辦事人員在歐洲疫情嚴峻之餘仍願意回覆我的信件,希望一切安好。

▊這是我寄的信
Dear Sir/Madam,
A deep appreciation to you taking time off to read this e-mail.
We are a group of youths from Taiwan who are deeply concerned about the energy development of our nation, as part of a collective effort to mitigate climate change.
We hereby write to you to seek clarifications on some factual accounts of recent events in the EU.
In a recent report published by Taiwan Factcheck Center (TFC), it has indicated the following:
1. The “European Green Deal for the European Union (EU) has excluded the financing of nuclear energy from the Just Transition Fund set forth”, and
2. That “nuclear energy would be ineligible for – or have little chance in being part of – future plans on sustainable development”.
3. The fact-check report then went on to conclude that “the EU will not change its goal in the phase-out of nuclear energy, but each member state is left to assess and decide on its own timeline, on the grounds of laying out a clean, sustainable and affordable energy policy as stipulated by the EU Green Deal”.
We seek your assistance in verifying the accuracy and truthfulness of the aforementioned details, please.
We understand that the EU has always been at the forefront of energy industry for its visions, goals and cutting-edge technologies, which have made EU the role model for policy makers, professionals and enthusiastic youths around the world.
These include the excellence in development of the renewable energy market and technologies, as well as making significant contributions to carbon reduction by maintaining a strong presence of nuclear energy in its energy mix.
Last but not least, if at all possible, we are also interested in receiving relevant official news reports or official documents from you on the above matter, as these would be invaluable resources for us.
Once again, many thanks and deep appreciation for your time.
Yours Faithfully
