The pressure changes aren't rough on them. They've been in submarines, planes, etc... but what about charging in a rad env? What if there's a SEU in the charge CKT that causes it to continue the charge past 100% and then a fire? What if it discharges too deep and catches fire after a SEU? It is easy to mitigate that risk in terrestrial envs... Not so much around the moon.

Bifocals already do that far focus up and out with near focus for the dash. They are effective. While this appears to be a single focus product--i could easily envision (lol) a future variant with a driving mode and maybe other fixed focus modes like max-near for PWB/precision work or a mid-focus for computer screen uses. Right now I have separate glasses for each, but this would be a novel product, however the cost would be massive compared to contacts+readers-of-different-capabilities.

This makes sense for certain types of engineers. However, if you are are a crank-turning-code-monkey... it is a different story. However, with AI, a mediocre engineer can be more reliable and achieve more--freeing up superstars for the hard problems and providing positive feedback that those medium folks would have not gotten. Glad they are making it work. now, stop running stop signs and trying to mow down children at bus-stops.

Yeah, they do have anxiety issues. The school will also provide doctors for the diagnosis. Maybe my sample is small, but the schools I've seen are all that way.... And yeah, sheltered Betty/Bob are going to have a rougher time because they had helicopter parents and can't wipe their own noses. I'm not competing with them in the workforce so let them pay tuition to help fund others.

Been solved for decades with varying degrees of security involved--Knock Knock protocol can do this for ya. Other solutions are available too. However, VPNs are not hard. If you think they are hard, you shouldn't have anything other than an updated store bought fw/router facing the internet.
