No they're not, you don't get to have operating margins north of 25% for big pharma companies and get to claim high costs are the result of being at the forefront of medicine. Drug costs aren't calculated based on costs but on the basis of estimates of what the market will bear. The US has an inefficient healthcare system, inefficiencies being soaked through the profit margins of pharma companies participating in that system.
239 EUR, yikes. That's 10 EUR less than I paid for my super automatic espresso machine. I guess it may be worth it if it lasts a lifetime (which my espresso machine won't, even though it's been going strong for like 7 years).

Edit: Ah, 239 is the MSRP, you can get it for 200, less when it's on sale.

Certificate is short lived and signed on the fly for when you need it. The server trusts your SSH CA, and you can ask it to sign any private key you want, with a ttl.

So you get extra security (credentials are dynamic and short -lived, and also per-user if needed) and lower maintenance because you only have the SSH CA public key to setup on all machines and that one needs less rotation/updates than public keys.

What other option do they have, besides seeking employment elsewhere? (which may not even be an option, if enough companies across the industry have identical clauses in their contracts)

You can't just cross out a line from an employment contract these days. Everything seems to be served via services like DocuSign, which discourages negotiation by presenting the contract as a fait accompli.

Yes, this type of datasets are massive. We use TAQ for research work but almost never use the raw data as is.

> So if we download the raw data every day for one year, we would have 3650 GB just for one year.

A small correction - the stock market is open only about 250 days a year so with your calculations the raw data size will be 2500 GB. Still massive.
Apple in the mid-to-late 90s was fascinating. You could see they were trying but had little to no direction. Not that Jobs was the best person ever to run a company, but I believe it was only him who could've saved Apple.

If Apple didn't buy NeXT or if Jobs didn't want to come back, it's an interesting "what if" to determine who would've led them and what they would have done. I could totally see MS _STILL_ investing heavily in them in order to help with their own antitrust issues at the time.

Maybe checkout hits on the phrase "system architecture diagram" and/or "software architecture diagram".

That might give you examples of what you might be looking for. Remember when coming to any code base to take it bit by bit. It usually takes me a while just to devine how the previous author structured their source files.
Well good news then! This seems to be the current strategy.
I would expect an interstellar technological object would at least not crash at 60,000 kph. It got this far, it took at the very least centuries, most likely millenia, and braking now that it has less reaction mass is much easier than accelerating ever was with all that propellant to push around.
Right, the contention brought to the labor board was that it was a collective action that went against the contract. It's not clear that the union as an entity was involved in that collective action.

Edit: expanding a bit, laws around collective bargaining include elements around not having to deal with multiple entities - if a union is representing workers, it's THE entity representing workers. If workers have a problem with the union they need to handle that internally, but they don't get to say 'the second shift guys decided they want to negotiate separately, so now you have to go negotiate with them as well.'
Visiting all these cracked me up, thanks
I've set them up for both identification and authorization with most of my virtual machines. I've set up two CAs (one for server identification, one for client identification) and provision virtual machines to trust the client authorization certificate by default. I still need to work something out for setting up server identification automatically but I haven't had the time (or interest) to find out how to set proper random hostnames through cloudinit scripts.

I think the certificate system is especially great for certificate login from multiple devices. At some point I was just constantly copying/updating authorized_keys files and with SSH certificates I can just provision my clients once and the problem is solved, assuming I use the same username everywhere.

On the server side it's kind of annoying to set up right because there's no easy process like ACME for SSH certificates. Depending on how much effort I want to put into (temporary) virtual machines I'll either TOFU the host certificate or go through the effort to properly sign it if I have easy access to the CA key from the device I'm working on.
What concerns most people is firmware and software, the inevitable phone apps etc.

Not that I could trust an US or EU product to be less invasive of users privacy; if we don't want products that phone home we must make them by ourselves.
Not an easy task, however, especially wrt undocumented chipsets running tight closed firmware.
I'm conflicted about this. I've worked with code generators built by coworkers with a great many years of experience. There are two key parts of the learning curve when approaching this situation. First, learning to use the code generator for simple tasks as intended. Second, extending or modifying it as needed to deal with bugs or unanticipated use cases.

It can take a couple of years to get to that point, and it's difficult because a bespoke code generator won't have the resources that an open source, widely adopted library will.

Also, you'll be responsible for building whatever connectors you need, as opposed to more popular libraries making plugins or expanding their capabilities.

That said, when done right, they can be extremely powerful and well suited to their particular use cases.

Assassinating public officials with drones has become a fashion. Just not in the US (yet). If you don’t think it’s on the US Secret Service’s radar though, you’re not paying attention.

And if you implement UBI now, you'll just shoot yourself in the foot and become less economically competitive because you're in a globalized economy. You cannot do this while you're still dependent on trade with other countries, which we are. You can do UBI when it really wouldn't matter if we didn't employ people in low wage jobs.

I think you misspoke about the legality of contracts compared to the criminality of contracts. Criminal activity is the sort that constitutes jail time. That was bullet #2 in my comment, but I want to ask directly again: Do you believe the failure to show up to work begets jail time?

That aside, I understand your position now. In response to the question of whether the company's three bullets were reasonable, you argued that "a deal is a deal."

In line with the bullets, here's what you think is true if you hold onto that argument. May I ask if you agree with the following characterizations? I did not embellish them compared to the memo, but maybe you'll break them down:

- An employee who fails to turn up for work should compensate the employer for liabilities such as production costs, penalties, and the employer's loss of contracts with clients.

- An employee who fails to turn up for work should be subject to fines and jailing, enforced by the government.

- The employer should be upset. I agree with you here.

I do not believe any of the above should be enforced by the government, contract or not. Further, it is common that contracts are _not_ enforceable when they contradict the law or are simply unconscionable. That is to say that it is not the case that "a deal is a deal" in all matters, and in this matter, I would side with the employee.
Any writeup or details on the actual setup and environment?
Is a "startup" the same as starting a company? If I start a company without ever seeking external funding/accelerating/etc, is my company a "startup" in the same way that "founding a startup" implies?

I was under the impression that starting a company in general and 'starting a startup' are not exactly the same thing, though I surely might be wrong about this.
Graffiti was great to use, but felt like a step down because it required memorizing the input method whereas the Newton's promise was to have full handwriting recognition. Granted I was on as MP 1200 but I don't think the 2000 series improvements were enough.
My large institution mandated a switch to OfficeMax/Staples remanufactured toners to save (truly huge sums) of money. It was an unmitigated disaster. The toners leaked. When they didn't leak, the toner failed to fuse appropriately to the paper which made for an atrocious print quality and since the toner started flaking off even while still in the machine it would build up on everything and lead to smearing and then damage to the printer.

My department switched to buying toners directly from the manufacturer and reimbursing staff to get around the financial blocks that were put in to place. After two years they dropped the policy as a complete waste. We paid out so much money in repairs, new cartridges, new printers, and management that it made buying 'real' toner look cheap. Theoretically OfficeMax/Staples offered repair guarantees on their toners but of course managing those warranty claims is essentially impossible when you have thousands of printers scattered around.

It has changed somewhat, but the biggest thing is connectivity. If ubiquitious connections were around then, like they are now, the Newton may have had a very different story.
Start with stories where you sit down next to them on the couch and make them the main character. Just make it up as you go, doesn't have to be wild fantasy, can be anything. When you come to a decision point ask them "what do you do?". Then weave their decision into the story. Make it fun, make them the hero and never leave the story hanging at that age (they need to feel safe). You don't need dice and such yet, and even when they're older you can still keep it up. Builds fun memories too.

Offering a physical object (a vinyl record) to promote an App
We use an AWS KMS asymmetric key for the CA keys, they're cheap and avoids exposing the private key material in an any way.

For signing SSH certificates, we run a small service (prototype code dump at https://github.com/pardot/sshsigner) that uses this key to sign short lived certificates. Auth to the service is via OIDC issued ID tokens.

On the client side we have a custom SSH agent that uses an ephemeral in-memory private key. The agent manages the OIDC web flow and calling out to the service for signing on demand. This lets us keep the cert duration small and scoped, and allows us to force re-auth for sudo etc. via the web flow.

We also do a similar thing for host keys, IAM auth the instances and sign certificates.

Altogether works well, provides a nice user experience, and keeps long-lived/leakable creds out of out environment.
If it's hard to understand any code, most probably it's not well-written, thus the inability to read it.

The best approach I can suggest would be to read line by line, at the slowest pace possible, until you get what it actually does.

Yes, it will become boring and exhausting at first, but eventually you will train your brain to see various patterns and understand idioms and schemas without realizing it.

It's like us humans we start with baby steps and eventually we learn how to stand on our feet and run.

Now, if you want to master your craft, in this case the aforementioned running, then you will have to specialize through constant training and finding a coach to guide you how to improve your existing experience and what things you should avoid doing, let alone discard bad practices.

That's really it, I'm afraid :/

Most startups don't know what they are doing, so first-time starter-uppers get the wrong idea. Instead of moving at a steady pace without burnout, the lesson they can take away from it is that startups are all about heroics and working until 2AM while chugging tequila.

> You and I have never seen even 100,000 photos in our lives. Well, maybe the video stream from our eyes is a little different. But it's not a billion fundamentally different images.

I would argue precisely the opposite (as you alude to), it's more than 100s of billions of fundamentally (what does this even mean?) different images. Calculate the frequency at which your eyes sample, think of the times the angle changes (new images), multiple by your age, multiple by 2 for two eyes looking slightly different directions, factor in your the noise your brain has in forming the image "in your head" because you drank too much... you can continue adding factors (hours of "TV" watched on average) add-naseum.

It seems that "slow to learn" has a "real" target/bound, what humans are capable of. If it takes Bob Ross decades to paint all the "images" in his head, then maybe we should go easy on the algorithims?

>239 EUR, yikes. That's 10 EUR less than I paid for my super automatic espresso machine

Sorry to break it to you, but that's actually not much money for what good drip machines usually cost. I don't want to sound like a snob (I promise I'm not), but at 229 Euros your "super automatic espresso machine" is probably pretty junk Aldi/Lidl-grade machine or some budget DeLonghi/Philips, that make awful espresso, no offence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuFQbiIVUkw

229 Euros is the cost of a good electric grinder alone, while a decent non-automatic espresso machine starts at north of ~500 Euros for the most basic models, from Sage for example, and fully automatic ones from Jura go for north of ~2000 Euros.

And those brands and prices aren't some snobby enthusiast grade luxury one-of-a-kind machines, but your basic home/small office appliances from reputable makers in the industry.

Yeah, making great espresso is hard as it has so may variables and automatic machines that can pull it off with minimal human intervention are very very expensive. Which is why I recommend people on a budget stay away from automatic machines in that price range as they suck.

I'd recommend James Hoffmann on YouTube for a deep dive into the world of coffee, espresso, grinders and coffee machines. He really opened my horizons to the world of great tasting coffee, with the downside that now, the coffee that I though I enjoyed, and most other commercial made coffee, tastes like crap to me haha.
