This only helps if there are others nearby which can efficiently help to fix the problem. In japanese culture the workers are often decades in the same company and know a lot about the processes the other workers are doing, they have a broad knowledge. In other countries this doesn't work as workers are seen as expendable and as a result only have very narrow knowledge of their specific part. When they get help of nearby workers which are not skilled in their process it will only prolong the time it takes to fix the problem so that the andon cord causes more problems than it fixes.

    Laying fiber that supports 200G literally costs exactly the same as fiber that supports 100M. It's just single mode fiber and when you have it you can run anything over it you want. You can also add expensive DWDM equipment at both sides and run a multi Tbit line over it. Also you can still use it in 25 years.

    Building anything else than P2P fiber is just dumb.

    The defense is that anyone should be able to tell their company that they shouldn't take part in war crimes. But why wouldn't anyone take google to court for taking part in war crimes?
