I haven't been to the blue hole, but I can easily see nonchalant guides leading people to ignore any misgivings they had from what little training they may have had years ago.

Higher salinity may exacerbate that but not by too much.
I'm entirely sure a lot of the early people at Amazon were in fact quite bright and hard working, and many good decisions were made, but plenty of other people knew selling stuff online was going to happen but couldn't get the stars to align on funding, or had a key member suffer a personal setback early on, etc.
Perhaps there is an answer lurking out there in the universe, but it feels more likely it'll only be invalid pointer Aborted (core dumped)
In any case making gun barrels has been doable with fairly simple metal working tools long before 3d printing - particularly if you're not hung up on reproducible quality. But even that would still take a few hours. 3d printing is a bad fit for that task.
A lot of VPN blocking isn't a specific, deliberate policy choice by the network owner, it comes in from default policy options on whatever awful vendor they use. The people seriously concerned about outgoing tunnels providing access back into protected networks that hides from normal packet inspection are a different case.
Probably take a few years for the low-effort network blocks to figure out how to deal with that.
It will be interesting to see if further ARM penetration into what was historically Windows-or-Mac only portions of the laptop market helps with that.
Been using it both with computers/phones and via programmatic access on cloud storage for years.
Took almost all of the 14 hours over airplane wifi in which I could not work at all.
Gave it away to charity the day after I landed. Its sister unit a coworker had bricked itself about two years later.
My laptop from 2019 also had 32g and was less than 2000 usd.
Obviously most people don't need that and I'm sympathetic to anyone having to run teams on some shitty IT-provided low cost laptop loaded with 7 different management spyware suites, but 16g-32g is not baller in a limo outrageous.
Given the increasing sizes of framebuffers and textures it makes sense to localize that, although many CPUs now include a GPU equivalent on the same die and many of the same sort of instructions.
A lot of it comes down to how big and independent the working sets are as opposed to strict advantage in computation as well.
The hole was always there. People get this topic confused all the time because the majority of network devices doing NAT are also acting as firewalls of varying efficacy. There are basically no non-firewall routers anymore, they all have at least simple network address ACLs.
The purpose of upnp is touchless configuration. If you care about security, that is orthogonal to your goals, and so it must be restricted by some other policy enforcement.
I've set up several private v6 networks to deal with renewable energy projects in which the integrator used the same ipv4 address blocks on every single one, and the whole 6to4 translation explanation landed like they had just seen a devil sorcerer graft a goat head onto a human.
Fixed in place is rare unless something, usually external, overwhelms entrenched interests.
It's not even just seasonal capacity shifting, any situation that weight matters in will favor LNG over electric batteries for the foreseeable future even if batteries get 10x better.
If the planned usage is only a 10% semi-daily scenario for stability support that may result in 5-10 years longer lifetimes versus daily discharges for capacity shifting.
It's even worse if there is not other dispatchable generation available unless people are willing to accept periodic blackouts.
We're in the process of building out a combined solar and battery installations in Guam, which is about the ideal case with predictable weather, predictable load, little heavy industry and low potential for load growth. It'll enable them to retire all their old fuel oil generators, but they'll be keeping the diesel/LNG plant for at least the next 30 years even if they only run it a few days worth of time every month.
For anyone who has serious (I.e. $$$) need of that they already have tapes and optical WORM media though.
You can do something conceptually similar with any sort of NAS that provides immutable snapshots as long as the management and control is effectively out of band.
The out of band part is the key. Our SAN data has snapshots. The backups are written to another storage device that only has an API key to write them to B2 storage. An attacker would effectively need to completely compromise multiple admins in the organization to get at all the stages of data duplication, and frankly there is no additional line of defense for total compromise if the attacker is willing to wait for physical tape or disk swaps.
Fortunately for ransomware, time is money for them too.
In principle, sure, but in immediate practice it would be like california forcing the labeling of basically everything as carcinogenic -- a step sort of in the right direction but mostly useless in practice.
The one thing that absolutely needs to be considered is not constructing it in a way that encourages private and unmaintained forks or requiring business contractual liability. Most of software only works as well as it does because there is so much really good open source to draw on.
I assume a lot of the potential "early adopters" for any new browser are privacy/security focused and as neat as it is conceptually that's going to be a steep climb for any new project.
I can't remember who I stole "the internet is write only" but it's felt very true as audience size exploded.
Perhaps the worst part is that it's self reinforcing in either direction, and few people ever leave the agora unless they delve into niche subjects, so they bring the agora mentality with them.
You decide that ethics and life are more important that your next few paychecks years before the event that makes you stand up and speak out. Sort of the stoic version of dress for the job you want.
For many businesses, from the regular employee perspective, a lot of the hard ethical questions unfortunately got answers and built into policy years agoz often well before platforms and products got big for those that succeeded. Getting old discussions resurrected is and likely will remain a hard problem in human organizations forever.
Perhaps counterintuitively, working on systems with clear life safety concerns often makes it easier since there are very clear consequences. It's one of the reasons for very harsh regulatory penalties, to be big and shocking enough for those that don't have strong ethical paradigms. In the industries I deal with there are several "million dollar per day" fine structures I hear people going on about that I never correct with more accurate information because if they're oblivious enough to not understand they're also oblivious enough to need that fear.
But they're saying it to get something they want or avoid something they don't want, and they'll tell any remotely plausible story to make that happen. Bullshitters change the story to fit the situation, often in real time as it develops.
Lying is more straightforward in that the liar is saying something they specifically know is not true to deceive the listener.
The blackouts in the MISO and SPP areas were not as bad, but still had to happen to weather (pardon the pun) generator failures.
I still see people getting date and numeric fields mangled by excel on analysis processes that take literal days to solve because it ends up recursing over all the cells multiple times, and yet even showing them a simple Python or whatever program that does the same thing in minutes, and the result is still put in excel, the next time they need something similar ... Here's another excel abomination.
These aren't dumb people. They've been trained by Excel that the world is awful, slow, and error prone.
