Exactly. That's what I did when my (former) company did the latest round of downsizing.

I fell a little bad for the guys left behind to "do more with less", but I'm pretty happy about my mental health boost.

The fact that he got fired and had to spend a ton of time and effort fighting that firing demonstrates why so many people don't bother fighting it as strongly as they might otherwise.

It's the same argument against the ACAB claim"why aren't the so-called "good cops" fighting back against the 'bad apples'?"

Because they'll lose their income and get attacked,that's why.

One that is following fire code? In my experience data centres will have both pre-action sprinklers and a clean agent (Something like Inergen) Depending on the local fire code, tehy will will require sprinklers to protect the structure and any adjacent structures. The Inergen (or other clean agent) is there to protect the equipment, but the sprinklers will operate to protect the building if the clean agent fails to stop the fire.
Also, if the fire department found active fire after the power was cut, they'll use water to knock that fire out.

As far as I can tell, the bigest difference is additional bandwidth, and being deployed on additional RF frequencies that weren't previously available for use.

>"Eventually, the device could become standard equipment, just like air bags. " Will that "eventually" be before or after self-driving cars make it a pointless added expense to build into cars?

All of The Telus cell network is already Huawei. Has been for several years.
And Much of the Rogers western wireless networks well (though they are in the process of reverting to 100% Ericsson.)

>I>How do the different Pis have a "strength in communicating with an Arduino?"

Yes you can use USB on any computer to talk to an Arduino, but the PI also makes it easy to use I2C and/or SPI to talk to them.
An x86 or other boars without GPIO - not so much.

because the people doing it properly are seen as being too slow.

I think it's more because the people doing it properly cost more.

Shop "from the road" and get it a couple of days later, versus walk into a store and walk out in a few minutes with your stuff.

Non-citizens who want to take a vacation with our enemies

So, that includes Red Rross, MSF, and other NGO staff and volunteers who "took a vacation with our enemies" too?

There is a lot an advertiser can tell about you from the car you drive

There's a lot advertisers can tell about my company's cheap-ass fleet manager, maybe. That tells them nothing about me, though.

someone somewhere will mirror all the really important stuff.
As long as everyone doesn't think like that...

So does CBC...

And this is a pretty good demonstration of a less simple tool not being better.
At it's core, a thermostat has a simple job to do.
The more complexity that is added to the design, the more points of failure there can be.
And, really, how much benefit does internet connectivity really add to a thermostat anyway?

The important part is "a world with ubiquitous drone coverage".
There are still places where Amazon can't/won't deliver quickly by traditional means. I suspect those will also remain out of range of drones for a very long time.

Unless you are content to never travel outside of major cities, then learning to be competent in basic skills like thinking ahead are still useful for being a mostly functional human.
