Project managers // ER doctors: “Looking at a room full of people coding”

Similar with “get up, Trinity” from The Matrix’s opening scene.

hyphen became a plus? Dalí didn’t have a spare engine because their working spare engine wasn’t purged of fuel that wouldn’t be legal to burn in US coastal waters.

And destroyed the Baltimore bridge because their backup engines were split between legal fuel and “international waters” fuel.

Your last example reminds me of someone editing Wikipedia to list Ronnie O’Sullivan as the winner of the World Open, about 20 minutes before the final match finished.

This computer.

That was so insane - “we need a unique number, let’s just use the MAC” - it was like people didn’t even think through any of the implications when making ipv6 address schemes.

It might be a trope by now, but when you mention “rich tourists and digital nomads”… have you read For The Win?

When Cory Doctorow considers this question, … His character, an archetype of the subcultures you mention, voiced by the most cyberpunk author you ever read, chooses a cargo ship.

Looks like the main options are the things you’ve already ruled-out:

• Lowest impact travel: passenger on a cargo ship.
• Zero-emissions vehicle: £6000 trip on a sailing boat, but any normal-sized boat is going to expect everyone on board to take shifts.

Maybe you can find a “tall ship” that’s big enough to have passive passengers (example), or pay the small boat to bring a higher ratio of paid crew to let the passengers sleep.
