The problem is not so much the health risk but the overwhelming of healthcare systems and lack of supplies. This isn't a theory, we already know the outcome of not slowing down infection rates fast enough (China, Italy, etc).
A simpler explanation is that some people will just "learn" (via googling) the basic SQL they need to get something done. This is not uncommon across all domains in our industry.
Could also be an issue with speaker placement. Most flat panel TVs have a speaker pointing down or backwards at the wall due to small bezel flat screen design.
Yes, this developer has 100s of libraries most of which are just code snippets. That was part of the criticism here, it looks like this guy is trying to take advantage of jr devs without providing any real value.
I had a similar question: can't these regulations be generalized? Or are we going to have these same problems in 10 years with a company other than Facebook?
PXE booting Linux live media is fairly straight-forward. Grub/syslinux syntax translates pretty easily to iPxe (which is simply a different type of bootloader). You just provide a kernel,a ramdisk, and whatever kernel arguments you need. If you're trying to roll your own ramdisk environment from scratch you may run into trouble but in general network booting Linux isn't any trickier than making a bootable iso.
Yep, also most of us don't need access to everything simultaneously. I rotate subscriptions and typically only have one streaming service active at a time.
I don't think they're killing Chrome OS, Chromebooks seem to be as popular as ever with schools. Schools that can afford to buy Pixels probably would go for iPads instead, though. I doubt there is much of a market for high end Chrome OS hardware.
