Criminals push the rules really hard too. It's just that they're only labeled criminals by society if they're caught, prosecuted, and punished.
People who "push the rules" (I call this cheating, if I was playing a tabletop game with someone who did this, I would say they were cheating too) have an unfair advantage over the people who do follow the rules.
The following are all based on assumptions I'm making.
The type of people who are likely to make analogies for how much the internet might weigh are almost certainly not physicists. They're probably smart, and they're probably used to doing math (programmers), but they might miss details that career physicists would think are obvious.
I have sacrificed my relationships with my friends and family for two decades and it hasn't helped advance my career beyond a normal, lowly IC.
I don't want to manage people. I would be the exact kind of manager that destroys my own will to live. A senior role would be nice, but because I don't have any social skills (all that time I spent learning all of the technical knowledge I have now had unforeseen consequences, specifically, my social skills and emotional restraint are significantly stunted.)
Stop using the argument that people need to make sacrifices. It's not true.
An employee not knowing what's happening at the company above them is a fault of the manager.
There are some things that need to be kept secret, but if it's not one of those things, secrets are not a good thing.
I agree with this. I'm kind of appalled by the apparent lack of SELinux controls on a firewall that runs Linux under the hood.
If I can run SELinux in enforcing mode on a Gentoo Desktop, any Linux administrator worthy of their job title can with a more enterprise/user friendly Linux distro too.
You know, when Linux admins say "don't run as root!" we don't only mean that users should not run as root. Nothing that doesn't absolutely have to should run as root.
And before someone says "but only root can read those files!", please take this opportunity to learn about filesystem ACLs. https://linux.die.net/man/1/setfacl
edit: Also, yes, this would not have fully solved the problem, but it is very likely that the amount of potential harm that could have been caused would have been significantly reduced.

This way, all 4 doctors only do 12 hour shifts, and the patient's state is maintained continuously through all 24 hours.
