Except where does the accountability land?

If an individual employee does something unethical or illegal, the employee is accountable and may lose their license or face penalties, and if the company performed the right due diligence and training first then responded "correctly" when they learned of the employee's behavior, their liability might even be zero. There is case law on this topic.

But if a MODEL mis-advises or acts in an unethical or illegal way, who is accountable? The business team that spec'd and tested the solution/product? The architects and the developers? I've never met an architect or consultant with professional liability insurance.

There isn't enough tested law in this area yet.

Yes, but we have tiered limits, and when we reach the limits of our current tier we can quickly get for more. Each tier’s limit is roughly double the last.

HOWEVER, the higher one goes the more scrutiny your use gets.

It's mentioned in the lede paragraph...

> The index for energy rose 3.9 percent in May, after rising 3.8 percent in April and 10.9 percent in March. The energy index accounted for over sixty percent of the monthly all items increase.

I have worked for similar consulting companies, though not AWS. We had to always book an initial ticket that was policy compliant (economy, or higher only if it was similarly priced), and then optionally upgrade the seat. That causes the upgrade to come through as a separate charge.

Later, when submitting expenses, the upgrade had to be marked as a personal expense, to be netted against per diem or paid back directly.

Early in my career managers did a very poor job of explaining that this was allowed.

What is your recovery plan in the event of a hurricane?

I'm not fond of high electric rates, but in addition to generation those rates amortize and distribute the cost of storm recovery. A home or business with grid-tied solar pays interconnect fees for the option to get paid back a little for excess generation, and the option to decide to switch back to 100% grid power if a storm damages the on-site panels.

Watch the Integza video (linked above): The lab interviewed starts the process using a very small pulse detonation engine, which injects a new explosion into the ring.

> [...] how we can restructure our approach to education so that students would actually feel encouraged to participate and ignore their smartphones.

Is there any precedent for this that we can model / reproduce? Any country or region where students are considered academically successful, while having unrestricted access to the internet in their pocket?

If it exists, it would be very worthwhile to understand what gives those students such strong self control. Do they do it on their own? Are they somehow admonished/shunned publicly for that behavior?

Do teachers and parents now actively encourage students to read aloud? I'd love to see a study showing this helps.

When I did this in middle school I was repeated told to stop, and that doing so or talking myself through math problems were "signs of mental illness," and I needed to keep it in my head.

I hated that it made it easier.
