I worked at a speed shop in my youth and at the time I was into Paintball so I had an idea.
We tried something similar to good effect, but we unfortunately had no good knowledge on how to refine it. It's hard to just shoot compressed air into the manifold and not have it blow back out of the intake. Either way we figured out a way to increase the volumetric efficiency as well as gains from running cool dense air. We were very close to pre-spinning the existing turbo/super setups and experimented with that as well. We gave up because Nitrous oxide at the time was much easier to work with and popular, and the tanks we had to experiment with was tiny compared to the large scuba tanks.
We also tried using compressed CO2 bottles to spray towards the intercooler to cool that down considerably, that worked decently as well, but no good data to support.
I think the best thing to do is to pay managers less than developers and also disqualify anyone who demands to be a manager, that removes all the folks doing it for the wrong incentives.
I know of a few managers that hate being a manager, and are not the best at it but they've done so because they needed the money.
The first gen was also kinda terrible because SSDs were not standard on those. But the 2010s were and it really made it shine. I got a 2012 one and said "Ok I get it now".
Having been closely tied to Real Estate and landlords, this is the current understanding of most realtors that deal in English Montreal and its surrounding areas. Sure it may not be the only reason, but it is a definite factor.
As for examples of xenophobia, I don't know of any other places where they have a separate language police, I know personally of non-white owned stores being harassed and fined for having the wrong accent on their french sign. There are countless politicians who've blamed immigrants for their woes, Jacques Parizeau being a famous one for blaming the Ethnic votes for their loss. CAQ just took a majority, look up Bill 21.
Rent is cheap because people are leaving the xenophobic environment. There's always some referendum talk on a 20 year cycle to keep the rates low, 70s, 90, 10s.
So yeah there's a huge Brain Drain from Anglo/English speaking Immigrant populations, as well as people fed up with the corruption.
I'm not well versed in the domain to say one thing or another so I will wait to form a concrete opinion before I hear from an expert in the field. I am very curious though like you, if there's a relation between the two.
They all have some combination of: odd posture, odd gait, a dry cough, or bad skin. You can talk about ageism in the Tech world, but I've worked as a tradesman for a bit of time when I was young, and there were not many past 50 much less 50 and healthy. Over lunch they each all recounted their health issues, which made me quit that summer and get an office job.
My mother in law's mom is from one of these islands, and when I showed her the pictures of this site, she knew the names of most people and their backgrounds. It was incredible listening to that.
She also said that a few of the houses as it was in the process of transported over the water and then resettled, were looted while people were told to stay away, quite sad.
The worst feeling for me is having to buy something twice, where the first time I buy something cheaper that I feel is going to be ok or good enough, and no it falls apart.
Ever since my work has issued me a USB-C MacBook, I've gone through 4! Hubs.
First was a Satechi, which overheated and broke just past a year which was the warranty period. I left a bad review on Amazon, and they replaced it. That one broke... just past a year.
Work then gave me another brand that I forget, and those too lasted only a year each or less.
I've finally settled on having two Anker Hubs and splitting the amount of cables going into each.
