Excellent article! What is the profile of the people who would agree to work there? Do they do it for money? You need to live separated from social life for a year (let alone reiterating the next year), that means you're not progressing in terms of love/family. Basically your whole private life is suspended like it is in prison. Even as a solider, there is probably more private life. Is it properly compensated by the coolness of the job? So do those sysadmins have a profile of "They gave me the choice of prison back home, so I opted for the Pole"? They are ultra-skilled for sure, since paying one excellent admin is cheaper than two average ones. So I guess the pay is 3x the SF wage? OTOH, research isn't known for paying much since it's full of passionate people who'd give up everything to be here.
