In the 1970s, as US national security adviser and secretary of state under President Nixon, Kissinger had presided over a historic rapprochement between the US and China. Since then, he had been an important interlocutor between China and the west. Kissinger was not a Wylie client, but that was an easy problem to solve. When Wylie Googled Kissinger\u2019s name in 2008, he was confronted with books attacking his humanitarian record. \u201cKissinger was depicted as a war criminal who enjoyed killing babies \u2013 basically a monster,\u201d Wylie said. \u201cSo I went to him and said: \u2018Henry, this is not good legacy management.\u2019\u201d Wylie told Kissinger to fire his agent. Then, he added, \u201cYou need to get all three volumes of your memoirs back in print, and write a new book, a <em class=\"dcr-19m3vvb\">strong<\/em> book.\u201d Kissinger quickly became a client of The Wylie Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miles and miles of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/travel\/article\/california-city-planned-community-explained-18476273.php\">unpaved<\/a> roads are carved into the eastern half of California City, intersecting and folding into themselves only to bottom out into empty cul de sacs. Even though there are no houses in sight, the roads are marked with street signs \u2014 with names like Lincoln Boulevard, Rutgers Road and Aristotle Drive \u2014 that stand among the prickly creosote bushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main goal of HTML First is to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/html-first.com\/\">substantially widen <\/a>the pool of people who can work on web software codebases<\/strong>. This is good from an individual perspective because it allows a greater number of people to become web programmers, to build great web software, and increase their income. It&#8217;s also good from a business perspective as it decreases the cost of building software, and decreases the amount of resources required to hire &#8211; a notoriously resource intensive process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re too slow,<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/stekkerauto\/status\/1723971996810191077?s=12\"> too sluggish, too complicated<\/a> \u2013 as it is, that\u2019s not survivable.\u201d  (difficult to translate with 100% precision &#8211; what he\u2019s saying is that if VW doesn\u2019t change these things, survival is at stake. original quote: \u201cWir sind zu langsam, zu tr\u00e4ge, zu kompliziert \u2013 das ist nicht \u00fcberlebensf\u00e4hig.\u201c)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is that nobody really knows what will happen in 2026 because the relevant legislation gives an incredible amount of leeway to government regulators.
