I haven't played around with this system, but judging by the videos it seems they should have vetted their physics system against some priors from real-life such as defender's advantage (attacking is harder than defending) and relative difficulty of actions (defending shouldn't be so much harder than shooting, dribbling and passing). It might also be good to have basic structure for off-the-ball behavior to make it more realistic and organized (e.g. maintain 4-4-2 shape), so that there is always 1 defender behind each opposing player when the team doesn't have possession. That way, it won't look so much like a schoolyard game.

The landlords have lawyers too.

A landlord would not go for a rental contract that places the risk of something like a pandemic solely on their own shoulders. Those landlords more often than not financed the property (development, property costs, construction) with long term loans themselves, so they have to repay that with interest in top of what the taxman wants, payroll, etc.

This seems plausible. Other coronaviruses that cause common cold make a comeback roughly every two years without mutating.

"Plowing through" yield signs is extremely rare and only a common problem when view lines are exceptionally open like in the linked example. Good road design/signing guidelines include those open sight lines in the decision tree, mandating view blockers, swerves or, as the weakest option because people will still ignore it when they feel safe, stop signs where necessary. As a person who learned driving in Europe the American fixation on stop signs seems excessive (particularly the four way).

Probably, but it will depend on the interest rate.

The lower the interest rate, the higher the safe level of debt.

Right now federal bonds have a negative interest rate, so perhaps there is no limit to the amount of debt, and in fact that there might be a minimum safe lower bound. Or maybe not; we don't have much experience in dealing with this sort of situation since it was seen to be impossible.

Putting that aside, the UK had debt around 200% of GDP after the Napoleonic Wars, and eventually paid most of it down. So the "bad & unsustainable level" appears to be well above that.
A local wind energy company took out a full page ad complaining they had to shut down their wind farm because the reduced base load is fully covered by the local nuclear power plant, which cannot easily scale down production.

What do you mean by the "(and similar legislation worldwide)" ? DMCA is a USA-specific limitation that goes way beyond what the rest of the world has; USA has had some success pushing something like that to a few other countries through transatlantic trade treaties, but as far as I understand, most of the world does not have DMCA-like legislation; it's not universal in the way that Berne convention is. For example, EU copyright law explicitly permits reverse engineering of any software you own, and if it's needed for the purposes of interoperability you're allowed to distribute modifications to copyrighted works without permission from the author.

Even if we had a comparable pandemic every 2 years, it seems unlikely the associated CO₂ reductions would be cumulative and persistent, which is what we really need.

Emissions Declines Will Set Records This Year. But It’s Not Good News
The WIPO copyright treaty in 1996 told countries to implement laws to prevent circumvention of technical means to protect copyrights.

https://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ip/wct/summary_wct.html

> The Treaty obliges Contracting Parties to provide legal remedies against the circumvention of technological measures (e.g., encryption) used by authors in connection with the exercise of their rights, and against the removal or altering of information, such as certain data that identify works or their authors, necessary for the management (e.g., licensing, collecting and distribution of royalties) of their rights ("rights management information").

This got written into many local copyright laws.

This all really depends on the maturity of the organisation and the team.

"1 hour SLA would be astonishingly, irresponsibly fast". Yes this can be true for a lot of cases, but at the same time it's nothing 'astonishing' or 'irresponsible'. Again it just depends in what state and maturity level the team and organisation are at.

Also, I think you are talking more from dev side of things? Would that be a good assumption to make? If that's the case then your points are very valid, but don't forget a lot of ops-like-teams work on code bases significantly smaller than coding projects and as such that SLA is totally fine.

Let's also remember that an 'SLA' for a review should be a guideline, not a factor to be always meet. There are always factors that will influence this.

I would add this:

The three Ps: pay, promotion, perks. People perceive you, their manager, as all-knowing and all-powerful about them. You aren't. But you'll never convince your team that you aren't. So:

1. People never forget what you say about the three Ps. Never, ever, even once, make jokes or offhand remarks about them.

2. Don't say anything that might sound like a promise unless you are CERTAIN you can keep that promise. NO: "I'll give you a raise IF I can get the budget for it" YES: "It's budget planning time."

And this:

Layoffs suck. If you have to lay people off, do it promptly once you've decided who. Don't wait. Don't dither. Get it done. Pending layoffs generate rumors and anxiety that can make your company a horrible place to work. It's always hard to get a team back on track after a layoff. Don't make it harder by your indecision and delay.
That's pretty much my experience in terms of symptoms. I otherwise haven't had any cold symptoms whatsoever in the past five years. I'm waiting on reliable antibody tests to become available.

N95 masks protect healthcare workers because HC workers know how to properly fit them; the general public does not have this training and thus N95 masks are wasted on the GP.

Another part of the confusion is that early on (six weeks ago) the assumption was that the virus spread like the flu, i.e. via droplets from coughing and sneezing. Masks alone (without face shields) are of little benefit for droplet-spread disease because they don't protect your eyes. Now we know the virus spreads via aerosols which are generated by talking or even breathing. Cloth masks do indeed help for aerosols by trapping virus particles electrostatically and by increasing humidity, both of which keep the virus out of your respiratory tract. Or so the latest thinking goes.

Hanlon's Razor applies, but this virus is also an insidious bastard that behaves very differently from what public health experts had expected.

Interesting, so "passive-agressive" is already built-in. Meaning even commenting in a very innocuous style "I'm not sure if this is correct according to the style guide..." would prevent a merge.

I personally try to encourage both communication and responsibility. So I comment on pretty much everything I don't understand/like/agree with (i.e. over-communication, that's really the only way to ensure adequate communication because by over-communicating according to your standards you're more likely hitting the other person's communication standards, which are necessarily different from your own and fundamentally unknowable), but at the same time I encourage the other person to decide which comments they want to respond to (either by arguing or by changing the code), hence showing I trust them and encouraging their personal responsibility.
