"look I can afford 50k"

Oh no. Looks like you never went through SOC2.

1. No, it does not require 50k, an auditor can cost way less (10k? maybe even less).

2. But the process of preparing for the audit will take a lot of work securing your systems (and increasing reliability and privacy as well), as long as you take it seriously. Of course you can lie to the auditor, but it's up on you. And auditor -- they might lose their CPA license and go to prison. Their job is to catch your lies.

Source -- went through it, and took it seriously. It really did increase our security stance, even though we thought we were good at it.

Dunno if useful, but in RC hobby area we have had OSD (on-screen displays) for decades. Both in analog and digital video, with recording (analog OSD there's just a small chip). Although analog is probably not relevant for you -- quality is crap and you don't care about milliseconds latency as we do, so go with digital (and not HDZero, they are technically digital, but heavily invested in low-latency, for pro racers).

Just don't buy DJI -- they absolutely want lock you in to their tools, parts are often not compatible even within DJI, require to create an online account, require an app (from a custom .apk on android) and in general have questionable privacy.

Of the open-source systems there's a new OpenIPC system with a most popular implementation of RunCam WifiLink 2 that supports onboard SD card recording [1] [2].

More proprietary (but still cross-compatible with others) is Walksnail Avatar V2 [3] with 32GB of internal storage.

For your case, you don't need a VRX (receiver), although you can totally give it your your buddies to see your race (with OSD) in real time. VRX can be built-in to goggles (if the same company), or as a separate module that connects to your preferred goggles over mini-HDMI, also with recording. [4] [5]

The problem is radiation. Empty space is not really empty, there are stray atoms floating around. Very scattered, but at a high impact momentum penetrate the ship ionizing anything in their way, and making the ship itself radioactive.

Not even talking about stray high-energy particles from distant supernovas and magnetars -- those irradiate ship regardless of its speed.

Then DBMS should not allow to save a string that would make some function return wrong results. Either truncate with a warning on INSERT (MySQL approach) or better throw an error.

I remember at the beginning Google didn't want to share their SOTA datacenter with public, considering it a market advantage. So instead of raw VMs they decided to promote the "framework" model, where all the seams are polished, under the name of Google App Engine.

I remember we've been going through a security audit, and many of their questions were about ports security and server access -- well, we did not even have SSH access at all, and only 80/443 ports were accessible. It was a breeze.

However, as market has shown, people really do want finer control, SSH root access, and custom ports. Along with many more fine-tuning. For example, GAE autoscaler did not reassign a request that triggered a new instance, waiting for it to start for 20s even though all requests completed within 200ms, so other workers were available, but the request waited for its own instance to wake up.

So I'm skeptical of "seams hidden" approach, as over and over again I needed to tune that one hidden seam.

Judges are not soft, it's just liberal cities don't hire enough prosecutors. So judges never receive properly investigated charges, and can do nothing but acquit. Prosecutors defend public (us) from criminals, but for some reason are neglected.

Too few prosecutors. Police only arrests, but the real job is done by prosecutors. However, there's a global shortage of them, and cities don't hire more. I don't know whether that's a popular job nowadays.

So without proper charges judge cannot do anything but release. Police cannot do anything but arrest.

Prosecutors are the main line of defense (defending public from criminals).

Parent talked about conscious and aware.

I had fractures several times, and I did think about the costs. In fact, the last one was pretty bad, andy first thought was "good thing I'm in a country with good medical care, even though expensive".

Under distress, yes. But honestly, I did piloting a little (airplane and various soaring aircrafts), and think that thinking there is also under distress, and that's ok, you still need to make decisions, that's life.

but you make the choice

No US doctor would ever tell you how much any procedure would cost (even though they know, at least "in-network" doctors).

But if in your EMT you inform the patient of the potential costs of the ride, then yea, I agree they make an informed choice.
