"Example 1. ... After this you physically isolate isolate your laptop, from the rest of the Universe, and start running it..."

However there is no way "you can physically isolate isolate your laptop, from the rest of the Universe" so doesn't that refute this example (at least?)

A lot of money has been made on the way up. And a lot of money has to be made on the way down. But for that, some more pumping is needed. HODL.

I am buying iphone 7 plus for my wife, yet I believe this review is quite biased towards iphone 7 and at times reads more like a PR piece.

Quite a disappointement from anandtech.

Maybe a bit off topic, but from the 3 roles mentioned (Data Scientist, Data engineer and Infrastructure engineer) which one (if any) is better suited for working remotely?

Simple and cool. Definitely simplifies the youtube production process, or at least mine (i am an amateur though)

Are there any similar tools around?

Thank you all for your comments. They are a big encouragement for me. This thread struck a chord and I feel like telling you my own story:

I am not that old (44) but still..

I practice programming since I was 14, tinkering with ZX Spectrum basic and then assembly. After finishing pharmacy school in my home country (Greece - my parents insisted not to study CS) i went to the UK where after one year of formal CS education I landed my dream job as a software engineer in a big, now defunct, telecomms company (Nortel).

The highlight of my career? meeting Linus Torvalds in a conference about operating systems in 1997, where I went as a representative for my company, and having beers with him afterwards discussing the Linux threading model. He was not that famous back then. Top guy.

Anyway, shortly after that I had to come back to my home country and and although I had good offers from companies in the UK and the US I decided to stop my career abroad and live in greece.

The problem was that money as a programmer here was not that good, but mainly that there were basically only windows application programming jobs, VB6, VC++, MSAccess and the like. Boring stuff which I disliked since I was doing unix systems - network programming up to that point (that was 2001).

So i decided to change career, working as an IS - business consultant in multinational companies (AA and Ernst & Young), jobs that had nothing to do with programming. I did that for some years but got bored and pursued a Phd while working part time in my family's real-estate development business. However the real estate sector totally collapsed in Greece in 2009 because of the financial crisis and I had to change career path Yet Another Time (yat, similar to yacc in unix terminology :) So now i run my own small-scale pharmacy business (Pharmacy was my first degree).

The thing is that I feel somehow unfulfilled. Although I never stoped programming, for the last 15 years this is a hobby for me and not my main occupation. I feel unfulfilled because I now know that programming is my true passion and I should have never deviated from it, professionally-wise. Anyway.

Sometimes I envision that, because of necessity (the economic situation in greece is deteriorating fast, to say the least) I will have to abandon my doings here and pursue again a carear as a programmer abroad. But how? not only I am 44, but for the past 14 years I had no formal Software Engineering job.

Meanwhile, I am building a webapp using all the latest and gratest sexy toys (javascript, laravel etc) hoping that it won't result in a total waste of time. At least I am having lots of fun.

Another version of this is "the last torpedo problem": A submarine with only one torpedo left is hiding in a cave. In front of it an enemy convoy is passing. The number of ships in the convoy is known in advance, but not the individual ships, and through the opening of the cave the submarine can see only one ship passing each time. So the question is how to decide in which ship to fire its last, unique torpedo?
