You are not out of the woods yet, I understand that for an individual this sum is massive, but for a bank it might not be (Deutche Bank, UBS, perhaps Credit Suisse?). Just naming some names which are popular in CH/DE.

Anyways they might still ask you about it, upon review of your position at the end of the year.

Not sure if this is a welcome news because it would give you something to do or unwelcome because it's a process to deal with. Still be on the lookout for them to ask questions.
It eludes me how nobody has yet made a movie about Babbage and Lovelace. Such colorful characters and way ahead of their times.
I would expect these sorts of measurements to be made according to cost of living.
Disagree. Server hardware usually gets rotated on a fairly aggressive schedule, and power consumption absolutely matters for server farms.
re: finances. Stick 79% into index funds, 10% in bonds/bank deposits and 1% in cash . Donate a little to buskers et al, things that make you feel good.

Then forget about it. You don't have to _do_ anything with it. Don't go down the "I should do something with my money" rabbit-hole. You can do that much later if you want. I'm not wealthy, but know people who are, and while they pay people to manage it pretty much comes out to that formula. Plus gold.

Then, complete your studies.

Then, you have the existential crisis that we all have, so don't think you're alone in this. Or that you have to solve it in the next few years.

"What should I do with my life?". I.e., what is important to you? A hard question!

Read books. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is a good place to start.

Read hacker news etc to find out interesting things that are going on.

Plan a budget trip (eg: bikepacking, hiking etc).

Don't buy expensive shit.

etc. All this is simply a way of saying that you need to make 30/40/50/60/90/100+ year old you proud. So do those things. And don't do those things that would make those guys ashamed.
Regardless, I wonder if there's a lot of men is the key factor here. Even if a reasonable fraction of a percent of the population isn't deterred by previous assassinations for a population in the millions, that's still a lot of replacements. The replacement rate of that subset of the population is almost certainly higher than the assassination rate.
There are a lot of tasks where quality and correctness is more important than fairness. If we could even agree what fair actually is.
Whenever I see studies/articles like this I wonder what is the safest material to eat from and store food in? My thinking always defaulted to glass. If it has been good enough for chemistry for hundreds of years perhaps it's good enough for food. But some glass also contains lead.
The same polarizing media conveniently blamed Facebook and Twitter (though to a lesser extent) for all the polarization that they have been fomenting for years.
I guess that move wasn’t as surprising for me as seeing the number of people in SV who bought into that narrative.

Corporate media should not really be thought of as real journalistic entities.

Simple example. How in the world does CNN allow Chris Cuomo to interview his own brother. The fact that no one inside CNN publicly objected to this, walked away, protested, it tells me everything I need to know about the entire organization.

I don’t remember anyone at MSNBC making a fuss about it, nor at the Washington Post (Democracy Dies in Darkness).
I just finished "Bullshit Jobs" by Daniel Graeber. Excellent read. Maybe I'll try the Debt book next.
7.5M euro is not a lot of money. It's a decent amount of money to have to start doing something useful with it...or burn it all away.
When I said "explain", I don't mean "give a three sentence overview of the basic idea", I meant, "explain to the point he can use it".

It really isn't that common just like it isn't that common to do it in JS or in Python. Some people used to do that shit a decade ago, it became frowned upon and I don't really see it anymore.

> throw a stone at a group of monkeys the next time chance presents it self

In places like the Monkey Temple in Bali that's exactly how you keep them at bay. In our local zoo where you can interact with lemurs, they can be chased away with a small water spray.
Well you're not the first so maybe take a look at how it affected others and how they dealt with it? Try a documentary like HBO's Lucky.

> how strong are these monkeys?

One, or even two monkeys won't usually attack or even threaten an adult male. Although, a monkey will easily beat an adult male human.

They are like 2-3.5 ft, and weigh at least 20 kg.

They are also sneaky. You will be bitten and scratched badly, and will be fighting for life.

One monkey cannot lift a human.

I have lived in a monkey infested area for decades, and I have never even heard of someone dying by monkey attack.

They also come in packs. They totally avoid directly messing with humans. But if some reason is given, then they can attack.

I think they cannot lift a full grown human being. Or kidnap one.

I think these injuries are from people getting on the roofs by themselves to save dogs, and falling due to bad control, panic, being attacked, or all.
I recommend the following forum: forum.earlyretirementextreme.com. There's plenty of people there who got freedom from work (through accumulating sufficient funds), but were (or are) struggling to figure out what to do with that freedom, esp. since they still have most of their live ahead of them.
I see more than a couple of books I've read in the comments, but I found them negative ROI on time invested in them, they should have been 20 pages not 300, and I didn't learn anything profound, often they could be summarized as a list of statements. In the end, I feel 99% stuff out there is just time wasting simple ideas rehashed into 300 page stories.
This story reminds me of Jane Goodall writing about the Gombe Chimpanzee War:

I was going to make a similar comment. Basically don't do anything for a few years to get used to the money, although I might rent for a while before I buy unless I really knew I wanted to live in that place. It's a good time to figure out what you want to do in terms of investing, and more importantly why you want to invest that way. You don't necessarily have to do anything with your money or your life. Your instinct not to talk about the money to anyone is correct. You might consider working part time for any friends or close colleagues you have who could use your help. I find helping people I care about is a good source of motivation for me. Good Luck!
> The basic functionality of Google Analytics does not have a way to identify you server-side

You absolutely can identify someone server-side with heuristics. Your browser sends its IP address, user-agent and possibly referer header at a minimum when fetching the Google Analytics JS, and I'm not even talking about fingerprinting your TCP or TLS stack.
They used to be much worse. People ended up with a dozen toolbars, plugins, and extensions that hijacked their search to sketchy sites like "Internet Web Search" and injected random ads into the page.
Another example might be bagels, which are manufactured products, hence more putative liability.

Reddit has an excellent summary of what to do when you find yourself in receipt of a windfall: https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/wiki/windfall
I am not sure if I agree with all the advice here. I think the first thing you should do is celebrate. Take a month and spend it on a tropical beach, or whatever your dream location may be. If you like company, bring along some friends and pay for them. The point is to tell yourself, this is my month to relax, enjoy, and get used to things. No need to think about what to do next, just have fun.

Then, when the month is over, you will get back to figuring out what you want to do. You have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to options. I am sure you will find something great!

Interesting. This deals with chaining from input/env to outward actions like shell or files. It's indeed a bit specific but since Perl is a scripting lang it should have less inner dangers compared to say C.
During the Edo period Japan was quite peaceful. The linked page shows nothing between 1638 and 1863. The Tokugawa shogunate started a little earlier (1600ish) and marked the start of a long period of internal peace. That's 200-250 (depending on how you count some of the events in 1600-1640 -- I think they had limited impact on the home islands?) which ended with the Meiji Restoration.
7.5 million is nice but can you make that 100,000 million?

While it doesn't change anything about the actual power of French artillery (that was at the time incredible) the article makes it seem like it was the only reason that Charles VIII could make this incursion in Italy relatively easily.

As a matter of fact, besides and before the military successes, what allowed him to traverse Italy almost without fighting was the terror he managed to spread, from a modern viewpoint it is a perfect example of well designed "PSY-ops/public relations/propaganda".

In Emilia Romagna he first assaulted the (insignificant from a strategic/military viewpoint) Castle of Bubano (essentially to make pressure to Caterina Sforza) but, since it couldn't conquer it fast enough, it turned to the (possibly even less important) nearby Mordano which was easily taken (thanks to the powerful artillery), and then the French massacred everyone (men, women, children), literally everyone.

Next was (descending into Tuscany) Fivizzano (as well not-so-impenetrable as a fortification) and once again there was the killing of all the soldiers (that had surrendered) and of most of the inhabitants.

At this point the mere notice of Charles VIII intention to pass nearby made cities/castles/fortifications surrender in advance.

Florence was a little bit different as in the same days there was what essentially amounts to a revolution, the Medici were forced to flee and the Republic was instated, and when Charles VIII came near Florence (notwithstanding the stories of terror) found that the whole people were ready to take arms against his army (that would have been largely outnumbered) and through some diplomacy the "crisis" was solved without any fight.

The whole story (for those interested) is in two chapters of the Storia d'Italia by Francesco Guicciardini, which are (surprisingly) very readable via Google Translate (IMHO more readable than the 1763 English translation available on archive.org[0]):

This is the best advice, with which I fully agree. Therapy and taking care of your health in general should be first priority.
log4j2 has little to do with the log4j you claim turned you off 20 years ago and almost no one works directly to the logging library API rather than an slf4j facade.
> Also, everyone here over 40 would prefer going back in time to closed-source. Yes, M$ would still reign supreme, but at least the buck you made was an honest quid pro quo, and not accessory to the surveillance economy.

That's a very strong claim. MS sucked without FOSS competition, and is quite happy to drive the surveillance economy.
Detaching a thread, that's new (to me). I guess it's better than all out censorship, but not much better than Reddit collapsing threads that get downvoted by bots.

I'm sorry if my meager comment became work for you, however you do realize you are modding a 'hacker' forum, where social engineering is the purest and earliest form of 'hacking'? Consider that most of the original 'hackers' are/were looking for social equality, now while social media has been infiltrated by big money 'elites' to squash the lamentations of the poor and impoverished. Lastly, John D Rockefeller only bought into newspapers after Ida Tarbell exposed the ills he was incurring on American society.

If one can't wail at the wall of propaganda on a hacker news forum, where can impoverished ideologists still have a voice? All the main social media sites have been bought by 'elites', or hacked by their cohorts into oblivion when they don't play ball.
Also be careful for most people 7.5 Million Euro seems like an endless amount of money and if you keep a grounded living style it is. But it's also easy to spend for vanity. Like people with more then that ended up accidentally going bankrupt due to bad spending patterns. (Or just bad luck with investments.)

That may be true, but that doesn't mean that battle tested means nothing. There are plenty other logging libraries that have also been thoroughly tested. If you look for obscure logging libraries in c, c++ and even bash I wouldn't be surprised if you found rce bugs. In Java it's probably less common.
"I've never read anything that wasn't a bad regurgitation of ideas better presented elsewhere from this guy, and I have to wonder why he has amassed such a following."

I wrote this 2 months ago, my opinion hasn't changed. I guess there are worse charlatans out there (ribbonfarm springs to mind) but why should one waste his/her time reading chewed takes by someone who doesn't seem to have a single original thought-idea streak in him.
This seems wise.

I have no credentials whatsoever being rich, but I do have some experience having major plans diverted, and I would like to chip in that it's good to keep in mind it's not strange to get this sort of psychological impact from such a significant change to your life conditions and plans.

From where I sit it looks like you can afford to take your time about this more than ever before. Protect your bankroll and don't make any hasty changes to lifestyle.
I suspect you'll have to re-examine what you really value the most, and suddenly you have one less excuse for not attending to that at the best of your ability, but as I understand it, the direct impact from suddenly getting wealthy (or deadly sick, or unexpectedly healthy, and so on) is basically pretty transient and people tend to soon come back to a similar set-point as before once they have adjusted their expectations to the new conditions.
What could give a much more lasting impact is changes to habits or environment made while under the influence, so trying to exercise some care to make those judiciously seems in order.

Fundamentally, congratulations and good luck with it!
> I've had access to over a dozen GA implementations, some for Fortune 500 companies.

The concern isn't about what GA gives to its implementers, it's about what it collects internally.

Google is an advertising company and has a financial incentive to stalk everyone. Their bad faith implementation of the GDPR consent flow (which IMO does not actually comply, but the regulators are incompetent or unwilling to enforce the law) proves it. The current regulatory environment doesn't do enough to discourage non-consensual data collection, so given this fact and the company's past history we need to assume the worst until proven otherwise.

I am also Canadian. Was not a fan of the lack of standardized testing because I was very aware that many schools (and not mine) was in the practice of inflating grades to help their students’ acceptance and scholarship applications.

This is one problem that standardized testing aims to solve — how does a university compare a student with 95% avg from one school and 85% from another?
Rest up, you have a lot of work ahead of you my friend. If crypto has been your only investing gig, you're going to have plenty to do researching how the pros diversify their wealth.

From a normative perspective, terminators are self-evidently dangerous as all hell and should be prohibited.

I think you'll have a lot more luck finding 2-3 initial customers before you try to raise money. It's always easier to explain what your product does, and who the target market is, in terms of actual customers; instead of hypotheticals.

How could they be expected to? Reviewing all of the source code for log4j is not a walk in the park. Even if you thoroughly reviewed all the source code, would this specific exploit have crossed your mind?

The game theory and assumptions around a "logging" library probably led a lot of organizations to not even consider it a potential threat and focus their efforts elsewhere.

There is also the transitive dependency angle which turns this into more of a plague than a blame assignment session.
Ugly ass syntax.

Yeah this really resonates. It's like for most of us, money is a motivator that distracts us from dealing with the problems or issues that are always there anyways. We are bred to believe if we just solve the money issue, everything else will fall in line. And becoming rich is a great way to realize how much of a myth that is.
Losing your drive after attaining wealth make some sense. That can help you avoid spending your money. If you can find a profession that you really enjoy, which can give you income that helps you avoid tapping into your nest egg, and invest somewhat conservatively in index funds, that can help you carry that wealth through life.
Wow this is pretty interesting. In my experience checking social media is also a lot like a physical twitch. I might buy some marbles.
