If that's that the extent of your boss's requirements, great. You've got a nice work environment.

Crazy idea? Damn well right it is.
Another item. Most employees want to get home after work as quickly as possible. Let's say you have a choice between
* half hour lunch break at work cafeteria * one hour lunch break of which you spend 15 minutes getting to restaurant, 1/2 hour eating, and 15 minutes getting back to work. That's at at a fast-food joint. At a "real restaurant", it's "please wait to be seated", and dump menus on your table. They'll be hovering over you all the time to take your liquor orders, but it'll be 15 to 20 minutes before someone comes around to take your food orders. In 30 to 45 minutes the food will have been prepared+served. It's one thing for an occasional office event, but not daily. That would be 30 hours per month out of your life that you'd never get back.

One reason Intel developed the 64-bit Itanium (aka "Itanic" giggle) was to come out with a cpu so radically different that it wasn't covered by the original licence.
This all goes back to Intel agreeing to allow second-sourcing and licencing X86 to AMD, as per IBM's demands when developing the PC. Ironically, the cross-licencing agreement of 1995 is what allowed Intel to use AMD's "AMD64" tech in Intel cpus. That's why IBM and AMD cpus remain mostly compatible to this day.

That's from flying up to 35,000 feet ASL (Above Sea Level). According to https://www.sablesys.com/suppo... air pressure at 35,000 feet (10,000 metres = approx 33,000 feet) is approx 24% of sea level pressure, so you've lost 76% of atmospheric protection. At 100,000 feet (30.5 km) pressure is approx 1% of sea level pressure, so you've lost 99% of protection.

They already have. The first live alert was May 14th https://yro.slashdot.org/story... It covered the entire province of Ontario, which is mid-way in size between Alaska and Texas. The alert was about a custody dispute in Thunder Bay. Shift workers in Ottawa, a 16-hour drive away, got woken up 3 times in a couple of hours...
1) The original alert 2) Half an hour later, someone said "Oops, Canada is officially bilingual. Let's send out a French version." 3) An hour or so later, the child was found safe. So an "all clear" was sent out. Fortunately, that message was short enough that both the English and French versions fit within the limit of the message.
Differences from the American system:
* The alert system works only on the LTE network.
* The assholes at the CRTC (Canada's FCC-equivalant) mandated that *ALL* alerts go out at "Presidential Alert" level, so they cannot be turned off.
* The klaxon sound is *DAMN* loud, and on some phones keeps on sounding until you manually dismiss it.
I'm sure there was an uptick in demand for custom ROMs that allow "Presidential Alert" to be turned off. My cellphone auto-tunes "best network" of my carrier. But it does have the option to force it to 3G-only where the alert system does not work. I've selected that option.
The blowback from the this event was bad enough that there haven't been any more alerts since then (approximately 2 months).

Actually, the parents had allowed the daughter to have a Facebook account only on the condition that they have the password. So they were listening in, with her knowledge, while the daughter was alive.
But Facebook has this thing called "memorializing", where they lock down the account once they find out the account-holder is dead. As soon as Facebook were informed about her death, the account was locked down, and the parents couldn't get in, even with what had been the valid password.
BTW, this is used by by malicious assholes to make life difficult for people...
* Photoshop a fake obituary notice from a newspaper * Inform Facebook, file-attaching the fake obituary * The account is "memorialized", and even the account holder is locked out of their own account. * It can take weeks or months of email exchanges with semi-literate "Mike in Mumbai" to revert the memorialization, and restore access to the account holder.
