I have long suspected that its a techies responsibility to take care of their immediate friends and family in regards to self hosting. SoiI usually offer that service for free to my extended family. I usually tell them they have to rely/trust someone, might as well be me and if it weren't them I would charge customers X money for that service monthly. So it becomes a gift and something personal and they feel taken care of and when the dreaded "help me with my email" call comes you just pop open their account without trying all the password on that crusty sticky note and look into it. I especially love those "they claim they didn't get that email" calls. Pop open the log and send the excerpt of their server accepting the email to the claimant and boom number one of all the standard excuses is done for. I once saved my mums job that way.

That's why needing to touch them would be a requirement. To avoid the temptation of abuse. Healing has to be consented to.

I'd like to be able to touch people and feel their deepest pain and just heal that away with a compassionate thought.

You know the movie jumper?

Alas, time to short some TSMC stock.

Employer here (yes, I know right?! Sigh). Being on time and punctuality is about respect of other people time not about suppressing workers freedoms. We have no time to arrive for anyone. You can use the office if you like or work remotely from wherever you chose. But being late for a meeting with anyone relayed to the firm (customer or coworker including me) has to stay a seldom occurrence. Having multiple people wait for you 10 min is a pain point for everybody involved. It happens, I get it, but it everybody does not keep it to once in a long while everybody waits at every meeting which is not respectful of their time and its wasting quite some money too (Yes my people earn well above average). Is it too much to ask some basic respectful handling of each other?

BTW: there are employees that can't handle that much autonomy yet. They specifically ask me to check their working hours and be at the office present for them to help them get their hours in and help with technical problems. But that's usually new staff which has not learned to keep a routine. With time they usually get it together sooner or later. Surprisingly most make use of the office pretty regularly and just don't come in if they travel to visit family or need to be at home for family reasons. Its a win all around as far as i am concerned.

Radiative cooling. You can still have a data center in a stationary orbit between the earth and the moon thereby shielding it from the sun most of the time. But you are right, much harder problem. Gotta think on that some.

You could put that on the dark side of the moon for example. Don't get much colder than that. Radiating the heat away is no problem is you don't take up much in the first place. The question is where energy comes from. I'm guessing they are going for nuclear energy for that. Sounds doable l, but why would you want to?!

These are public companies. Why not instead of signing petitions have each and every one buy and dedicate his biting rights to a shared organization to be a thorn in the executives belly they can't ignore legally?

Yeah maybe he secretly hates how they made their money and the wasteful lifestyle. But it they find out they will cut him off from the resources he needs to fund the superhero stuff. He wouldn't necessarily see a supercar but a resource to get around and fool his parents. The yacht is just a platform to launch his operations from etc. When he was younger he always tried and failed to convince his parents to reduce their carbon footprint and help people with their wealth and improve the world.

I have never had problems meeting women. But i have the same anxiety taking to women in intrigued by. I learned to remember that women also want company and feel anxiety and giddy when meeting someone attractive. It might even be a safety thing that you need time to get closer to someone so both sides can feel safe and comfortable. I learned to carefully watch people without staring. They will eventually notice and their reaction will tell you pretty clearly if they find you attractive. And there is somebody for everybody believe the middle aged balding dude with the broken marriage. Now if you find someone equally interested you should be hanging around them, so find a non creepy excuse to spend time in their proximity. That's where all the talk of finding groups to join comes from. Maybe she is as shy as you are, try to imagine how she might be feeling. So you both need time to find your way through that. With time and ample opportunity one or both of you with inch closer and it starts with short eye contacts and maybe one or two words exchanged.

The most important thing to realize is that most women even if attracted might not be the perfect situational match, so don't latch on and try to force the situation. Just keep your eyes peeled, enjoy the process as it usually gives you confidence and always be your honest and kindest self towards you and others. Kindness and honesty is much more attractive than looks. Opportunity will eventually present itself and well... Love finds a way :)

Jup. Also if you have self worth problems, looking at people around you with a realistic sense of their personality and skill can help to think "I can't be that much worse".
