What’s an obscure but concrete technical fact that keeps creating preventable issues in the real world?

Care about things they don't care about.
Get angry when they don't care enough about the stuff you've decided is important.
Understand it's now your responsibility to sexually reward them when they eventually decide to do things your way.

Cost of living is significantly lower, and the social safety net means you don't need as much anyway.
My gut feel is wages are so much higher in the US because everyone is responsible for looking after themselves if life turns on them, so you're obliged to stockpile wealth in case you're suddenly jobless or have a giant medical or education bill to contend with.

Jsonb in postgres is fine, I've been using it for years. Much better than letting mongodb anywhere near the stack.

Amazon's drone delivery program is the joke it always sounded like.
Ok sure, there's limitations. So what percentage of their current deliveries are actually possible with drones? If it's above 0%, then there's an opportunity.
Beyond that it's a finance/ risk/ reward/ regulation issue.
Imagine a van which drives into a suburban housing estate and instead of parking individually at different houses for 5-10 mins each, spends less than 5 mins prepping a set of drones which take off from the roof of the van and return in minutes.
It saves time and fuel. It doesn't work everywhere, but it doesn't need to.
In fact it could be the same van. Do deliveries exactly as normal, and use a drone for the last half mile when convenient. It's not either/or.

Boy, I really hope someone got fired for that blunder.
It's not inconsistent. He wanted them before, and had them.

Isn't this more about things falling apart when the person wanted to continue doing it? If I want to run a shop but it doesn't work financially, then my plan has failed.

This sounds like it would create a whole list of fun and irritating edge conditions for some poor bugger to debug. Love it.

So the recent hate towards Pedro Pascal is JK and her loyalists making shit up because he spoke out that she's an awful person?

If you were answering from your own personal perspective, no I wouldn't ask for citations. But you pretty specifically answered on behalf of more than 50% of people, so I was wondering where you pulled that fact from.

Back in the old days there was no rollback option either. Kids have it too easy now.
