I've tried both, and both can be made to work. Building a sun-house adds value to your home, and with glass everywhere and fitted out with a few plants you blur the boundaries between "inside" and "outside". Problem is lighting and heating/cooling - things heat up and cool down fast, so spend on good double or triple glazing, and even then you'll need shades in summer. Advantage is that you can tap into the services already in the house so no worries about cables (lightening!) etc. Plus if you need the can...it's right there. I put a few extra bucks into the budget and made enough room for a meeting table which doubles as a dining area and is also perfect for Sunday brunch. Buy dual-use wooden furniture, and make the tables into work surfaces by throwing leather hides onto them; cheap, easy to clean, decorative when reversed. Someone else mentioned pets; yes, the cats love coming into the sun-house, but then of course insist on lying on the keyboard....ah, first world problems.
The RV...you can pick them up for peanuts, then optimise for your use. Probably cost you less than a building a new office. It's amazing how much space you get in even a small vehicle if you rip out the stuff you don't need; plus you can keep the can if you want... Plug into your house power and you've even got ac and heating. As a bonus, you can even drive it!
Since they found and developed these exploits, but could not keep them secret, they should be forced to at least warn those potentially impacted, oe better yet provide defences.
Medical liability cases are increasing around the world, and the cost of insurance is driving many people from the profession. (See articles) My wife wanted to give birth at home, it was both very difficult to organise and extremely costly. All her friends said she was mad; plan the date with your Dr. for a C-section, fast, painless and no stress waiting for contractions to start. It's as much a matter of convenience for both sides as a question of baby size IMHO.
Back in the day, when i travelled regularly to Russia, I would take a handful of blackberrys activated with western SIMS and secure emails; sold them as a nice sideline. Not to organised crime, but to middle-class friends who were active in pro-democracy groups or were just concerned about their privacy. Was "tribal knowledge" (I thought it paranoid at the time, but turns out was true, there but also in Saudi and India) that BB - who had built their reputation on security - had sold out to the Govt. Foreign devices were reputed still secure. So, avoid anything "Govt. approved" like the plague: these days I hear the privacy tool of choice is a rooted android device with cyanogen, secure messenger and (still) a foreign sim. Expensive, but hey, what price freedom?
Please read the fine article; it's a better hit rate than a human. Sure, as a BSD neckbeard I don't like Google or Apple and their "Siri is always listening" (spying) bullshit. But you know what? If my Gran could have continued to interact with her family in a comfortable way, I guess she'd have signed that Faustian pact happily.
My beloved grand-mother went deaf after years working in a factory; (in those days - especially during WW2; she helped build tanks - HSE did not exists). It was really painful to see how it penalised her in daily life, family gatherings etc. She ended up talking all the time, and then getting paranoid about "what people were saying about her". So, if this can be used with some kind of (better-resolved implementation) of Google glass to help the hard of hearing then, great!
Whilst it's depressing that this is the typical European cluster-fuck in implementation, (they've been working on it since 2005; first test launch and won't be fully operational until 2020 earliest) it actually may not be the waste of resources it seems. Yes, the US, Russia and China (India too, maybe) have established systems, but the way the world and its established alliances is going to shit recently, (will Trump really eviscerate NATO?), its looks like a smart decision. Don't forget, pretty much everything that moves these days uses some form of GPS. Kids and truck drivers can't read maps any more, even if you could still find them in shops and gas stations. It also adds some useful functionality for "only" $5Bn.
Not true; in fact the reverse! In its later years, (once BA and Air France had figured out that people did not actually care how expensive the tickets were, and racked up the prices), Concorde flight were very profitable. Of course, this ignored the massive R&D costs that were written-off by the UK and French governments and could not be recovered due to the small number of units produced. Concorde was retired mainly because Airbus decided to stop offering maintenance...understandable because it was 1960s technology.
"The key is the development of a single record for a voter that aggregates all that is known about them." Yeah, right. Not privacy red flags there, bubba...
I'm guessing that somewhere in the plan was buried a phrase something like "in consideration of providing technical advise on technology blah blah we get to keep all the data" gathered by these "millions of volunteers.
Based on my observation of "older", (I'd prefer to use "senior" or "experienced") programmers, I'd say they fall into two camps:
(a) The guys with 20+ years of experience, who is comfortable with his technical competence and does not want to move into management. They stay current on what they need automatically, and get the job done. (b) The guys with 1 years experience 20 times. They stopping learning a long time ago, and you cannot help them.
So the first group is your target; what I've often observed is that their meeting and PM skills could be improved; hence their contributions (direct and indirect : how often have you seen a "senior guy" make a quiet suggestion that headed-off disaster?) are persistently under-estimated...

Who'd have thought it? Not content with letting pretty much anyone (including criminals) read their mail, track their movements with CCTV, spoofed phones and car license plate readers etc, the citizenry are actually buying them and installing this crap themselves! That's right, apparently it's just too hard to stream music or adjust a thermostat by hand; you now have to install a device that is always on, always listening in order to whistle up a recipe or get the sports. They must be mad.

I heard the interview; 24 "working hours" was quoted, so assuming 8 hours work days and that's 3 days elapsed time.
Enough bogus Musk stories already. What next, a non-story about how you can now get a glass roof for your Tesla?
