Is the CS community more prone to game metrics? I have a feeling most in the area would do that even if there weren’t any external incentives.

I’d go for prime palindromes.

One thing I was reminded by a friend is that exposing his fabrication would make that information useless. As long as the person who knows it wasn’t involved in the vetting process, they now have leverage over at least two people.

As someone said, all spies are bastards.

All you need to join ICE is being a certified neonazi, so background checks would only jeopardise that policy.

The Vision is tiny. It doesn’t even have a bedroom. Not even a single bathroom.

Wouldn’t it make sense to calculate the character box when bundling the assets rather than at runtime?

I would say windows would be a non negotiable design requirement, as well as external HDR cameras for the middle seats.

It’s all about professionalism.

Let’s say it should be avoided.

It makes parts of the CIA look incompetent to the public. This is rare.

It’s reasonable to assume they knew it from the start he was getting money illicitly from the Navy and they might have enabled it. This was part of the leverage they had on him, to be used if he ever became a liability.
