One series I haven't seen recommended yet is Alastair Reynolds novels. Revelation Space is a wonderful series, and if you want to start with a standalone story House of Suns and Diamond Dogs are great choices.
For lighter reading there's also the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells.
There's other older series that may appeal to you: Vatta's War and Vorkosigan Saga conf to mind.
The man can't leave if he's shitting his brains out.
It provides a safety net by pooling the resources of the community to support the less fortunate. This prevents people from having to sacrifice their long term goals because their short term needs may not be otherwise met.
Also in contrast to capitalism that treats society as a zero sum game ("I can't get ahead unless I take something from someone else") socialism is a benefit multiplier ("I'm part of the community. By making the life of everyone in the community better I'm also improving my own life").
They are really good at providing examples for why civilized society needs socialism.
Or companies do hire security, but the security team is incompetent and unable/unwilling to adapt to new challenges. Then it devolves into security theater, until either someone new comes who cleans house or a breach happens.
Arch: I need reproducible setups. Also bleeding edge is not for me.
I have to give credit to their documentation though!
What put me off selinux is that the officially documented way of generating a new policy is to run a service unconfined, and then generating the policy from its behaviour. This is backwards on so many levels... In contrast policy-based admission control in kubernetes is a delight to use, and creating new policies is actually doable outside of a lab.
Mine has a precondition option that can both heat the cabin and warm up the battery while still plugged in (a warm battery will give you better range). The heaters keep up, and in fact can warm the cabin faster than on ICE: The latter uses waste heat from the engine, the EV just uses a heating element like a space heater for home would.
Confucius says: man who runs in front of car gets tired; man who runs behind car gets exhausted.
Warm Blooded Hugger.
Peter F. Hamilton's books may fit the bill: Futuristic, not hopeless/dystopic, and the main characters tend to make reasonable decisions. Be wrned though that he favours deus ex machina conclusions. Most will suggest Pandora's Star as a starting point (with good reason, as the Commonwealth Saga is quite expansive), but it does not have to be. I personally read the Night's Dawn trilogy first. The Salvation trilogy also stands on its own, and for a completely standalone book Great North Road was a good read.
Adrian Tchaikovsky is another wonderful author! the Children of Time and Final Architecture series were quite enjoyable.
Redemption Space (Alastair Reynolds) is another series one that I like to recommend. Closer to The Expanse. House of Suns also is a great read by the same author, as are several of his other stories.
The White Space books by Elizabeth Bear should be on your reading list.
Vorkosigan Saga (Lois McMaster Bujold) is a bit dated but similar to Vatta's War in the earlier books. Later on the plot tends to be more along the lines of whodunnit mystery... in space.
And let's not forget another scifi favourite, Iain M. Banks! The Culture series are great of course, but I liked The Algebraist the best.
