Also, if you're struggling with getting things done because you're always dopamine seeking, get checked for ADHD. There are some extremely effective treatments that can make your life way easier if that turns out to be the problem.

This still leaves a case where someone manages to get the final key out of memory but you're pretty hosed at that point anyway. I'd prefer a system where the yubikey itself is doing the final credential decryption instead of the CPU, unfortunately most people aren't that paranoid though.

I've had them lose their absolute shit for putting tape over a broken strobing seat light on a night flight and got to watch them attempt to improperly deplane a flight without a tail stand risking a tip over. On the continum of aerospace professional to barista the training they get is much closer to the latter unfortunately. This follows the general trend of airlines doing everything in their power to avoid investing in their employees.

Here's a good one: the FAA categorically prevents any pilots from taking any psychiatric medication (minor caveats but the point holds in practice), in particular for depression, anxiety, and ADHD, all of which are extremely common in the airlines. As such, everyone just hides their diagnosis and waits until they snap because the alternative is permanently losing a job they took out hundreds of thousands in loans to get. Others pay out of pocket for treatment under false names so the FAA is currently trying to hunt them down.

Before anyone says the usual stuff about not wanting their pilots on meds, the medications are safe to fly on and much safer than the alternative, the FAA just hasn't updated their psych guidelines since Freud was the standard because any change would open whichever bureaucrat up to being hauled in front of Congress for the next accident regardless of culpability. Additionally the medication standards are also inherited from ICAO so even if we wanted to change, we'd need to convince the likes of China and the Saudis (both major stakeholders) that they can come out from the rock they live under and accept modern psychological science.

The easiest way to clean it up significantly is to better tax industry such that energy, resource usage, and transportation are all represented in the price such that the economy actually reflects the environmental impact of production rather than just the business costs of the moment.

If the embodied environmental impact of a product increases 10% to make it last 100% longer then we need to think about making that change rather than producing twice as many to replace the broken ones.

Modern engines are way more reliable because they have coatings and materials that will last nearly indefinitely in most parts of the engine but they're built on proprietary sensors and electronics that need a steady stream of replacements and secret software to debug.

We could make cars last indefinitely from a supply chain perspective, but commoditizing software and electronics would make them very marginally more expensive. We absolutely can't have that because, drum roll for the 1000th time, 99% of the population doesn't give a flying fuck and wants cheap shit at all costs.

Basically, if you have a zero sum game with two companies and one has better IP than the other, it makes sense for the time span through which the company without can't reverse engineer it. In every other case it means the groups of companies under the umbrella of non-competes will slowly loose to groups of companies in jurisdictions without non-competes.

To expand on that, if you objectively have some special sauce that you don't want leaked to your competition then it's a net gain for you and a loss for the rest of X industry (where X is finance because they're the ones who want this, not tech). In reality though, it's extremely rare to have sole control over an incredibly strong piece of IP that defines a market. In reality, everyone thinks they do because they don't know what anyone else has. Everyone has something that gives them an edge, hence being competitive in the market, but sharing those secrets within their local area can make the whole industry way more performant.

The law applies to everyone so if you can't have non-competes, neither can your competition. At a local level it will make groups of companies much stronger than their more distant competitors because they can share knowledge under the table at a much higher rate.

"Ok we have this cash cow..."

"Shoot it"

"But..."

"Shoot it, the cow accepted an open license"

"That doesn't make any..."

"I don't care, shoot the cow"

To put it in perspective, the Soviets literally rolled tanks on striking union workers and students in Hungary and killed thousands of people because they were (to heavily summarize) the wrong kind of communists. This is where the phrase "tankie" comes from.

It's a sort of replayable cutscene that happens a couple times in the game where you can wander through it. The noteworthy bit is it's rendered out of voxels that look very similar to the demos but at a much lower resolution and if you push the frustrum into any objects, you get the same kind of effect where the surface breaks into blocks.
