I like the idea of entering a datacenter without hearing protection, but would fear the occurrence of a meltdown when somewhere a loss of fluid occurs.
This reads as extremely centralistic and patronizing. Just provide a web form where schools can apply for funds. Have a local representative visit them and describe the local situation to allow a small central team to allocate suitable funds.
Unfortunately, only one of the clips has a long enough duration to hear the start of the sonic booms, soundwaves from the detonations reaching the microphone.
Optimizing for navigation is an interesting notion. Lack of navigation is also my main problem with class hierarchies. Importing a class is like import *: you do not see anymore in the module itself where some method is defined.
I agree there is more to it than yes/no making a joke of an incident. I associate it with a macho culture in which people do not feel safe to speak up in case of unsafe circumstances. Same for IT security.
Yes, I also dislike the culture in which this can be called a funny story. Such culture will cause more incidents. Worked in a laser lab for 5 years without incident in a time when eye safety goggles were not used for visible light.
