Nope.

>> “The topic of ‘NATO expansion’ was not discussed at all, and it wasn’t brought up in those years. … Another issue we brought up was discussed: making sure that NATO’s military structures would not advance and that additional armed forces would not be deployed on the territory of the then-GDR after German reunification. Baker’s statement was made in that context… Everything that could have been and needed to be done to solidify that political obligation was done. And fulfilled.”

> It's not that I "haven't thought of the consequences", it's that I really don't give a shit. I literally couldn't care less that there's going to be a price -- I'd pay it gladly, if it brought prosperity and power to my nation.

That's the whole issue: you aren't the one who is going to pay for it.

I'm originally from the same nation as you, that's exactly why I'm calling you moronic. Semiconductor fabs don't depend on the Amazon being burnt down. Defence industry does not depend on the Amazon being burnt down. These depend on political stability, well-educate population, State investment in R&D for the future, economical policies that foster national industries through the whole chain, fiscal policies (and stability of those) that don't overburden small R&D companies. Custo-Brasil encompasses all of that: political instability, fiscal policies that are burdensome to abide to, a poorly educated population, bureaucratic inefficiencies, so on and so forth.

That's what need to change in Brazil, not fucking burning the Amazon down, that won't bring any prosperity as the elites would be unchanged, they would still pillage and loot you and the rest of the population, as it's been done since the 1500s.
Adding to that there is indeed what is called “Divergent thinking” [1], it is a way to explore thoughts in a diverse way and the ability to come up with creative solutions.

This is different from the more linear directed thoughtpatterns promoted in institutions. I often find people in the HN crowd to be more in the latter crowd than the former, but nonetheless intelligent.

If you take PTO then you are supposed to tip 20% of your pay back to the person that is covering for you. Depending on the job some of the money might be shared with others.

I live in the UK with an unlimited PTO system. My partner works for a local company, so I ballpark try and match hers, but take an extra week or two per year depending. It's somewhere in the region of 40 days per year, plus the "holiday" closures.

I'm a lead _and_ I manage infrastructure. If you're a lead and your team can't handle you being out for a week then you need to spend more time leading and less time doing. Being out for longer requires active planning.

Well, having a $9k per month budget you could hire an entire rack in a premium data center location (let's say Telehouse London-Docklands that hosts London internet exchange - You can connect to it in a very cost effective way). This would still leave 80%~90% of the budget (depending on power use) for hardware/software etc.

But a full rack is a huge overkill. How about a quarter rack for few hundred $ per month?

What about connectivity? Well, as mentioned Telehouse Docklands hosts LINX so you can get an unlimited transfer gigabit right into the Internet backbone for a couple hundred $ (mind I dealt with them few years ago, but I doubt prices changed that much - probably they're lower if anything). Also there is a cluster of data centers in docklands so they compete on price heavily as well as resellers that often have good deals.

This is all just location and connectivity. How about hardware? Let's say they wanted proper support with their hardware not diy so they were looking for a "solution provider". Send a request for quote to 10 of them including fujitsu, ibm, hp etc. Then tell them you're looking for a "charitable organisation discount". Unfortunately we're missing the most important metric to price this "solution". IOPS and if its mostly small or large files (random or sequential Access), but they host most of it in "infrequent access" s3 so let's assume it's not a lot, just to find the lower pricing boundary.

So let's say a pair of 2u servers with two hba cards each and 4 12 disc jbods with 22tb Sas drives a total of a petabyte in raw storage or half a PB mirrored (not that they would run it mirrored). A system like this from a big name (it's rather low performance, but we're after cheap right, their s3 is likely very similar) might cost $80k. Over 5 years of lease that might be ~$3k per month plus their hosting and connectivity it's about half of their $9k.... Then there is software, but that's a separate thing. Also one could DIY such system for half the price, one could add SSDs etc. This is just an example. To design this properly one would need usage data from their s3 and few days of work to put it nicely together.

If a company really believed in Unlimited PTO they would specify and require a minimum amount of PTO for all workers. That way everyone is able to take PTO without it feeling like they're shirking any duties. People in leadership positions should also visibly be taking PTO and setting an example for their workers.

Him calling himself that for political points is extremely different than being one. Lula is not a communist, he hasn't been since his first 2 terms between 2002-2010. He embraced completely the "Third Way" of social-democracy, which means it is completely enveloped by the frame of neoliberalism.

Banks made a killing during 2002-2010, how would a communist be supportive of the finance industry?

It's shocking to me you are Brazilian and don't know this, it's shocking you parrot red-scare tactics as if Lula is about to start a Communist Revolution in Brazil. He isn't, he is not a communist.

And socialism is not communism.
For IQ tests both are helpful.
TLDR

Cyclical and company-specific problems: This pattern involves a temporary issue that depresses a company's profitability. Cyclical issues are industry-wide downturns that eventually rebound. Company-specific issues require effective management to identify and resolve the issue. These problems offer opportunities to investors who can identify them early and wait for the recovery.

Turnaround situations: These represent company-specific problems that management is actively working to solve. Investing in these can be risky, as not all turnarounds are successful, but when the key operating metrics begin to improve and the turnaround shows signs of success, it can be a good opportunity to invest.

Moderate and prolonged growth: This involves companies that consistently demonstrate moderately above-average growth rates (6% to 12%) over a long duration. This steady, long-term growth is often underappreciated by the market, providing a potential opportunity for investors.

What an incredibly sad question. People need breaks and rest. If you don’t get it for long enough, you will burn out. If your company isn’t taking your need to rest seriously, you should find a new job.

Unlimited PTO is mostly a scam. PTO had a real monetary value as part of a compensation package. Many companies will pay it out in cash when you leave. If PTO is “unlimited “ it basically means the company has decided to not compensate you with PTO. Since no one is “owed” PTO everyone starts treating it like something they don’t deserve and the company develops a culture of not taking time off.

Of course a company’s leadership could still strongly encourage time off in an “unlimited “ situation, but the easiest way to do that is to actually compensate people with PTO!

Where it's just one out of hundreds of Let's Encrypt certificates.

Two simple things are missing to make any of this infrastructure useful at all:

- A system as easy as ACME for domain holders to revoke any certificate. A few months ago, Cloudflare started issuing certificates for domains where they're only dns hosts. They issued these certificates through the Google CA, without informing the domain owners. I only found out through a CT alert. The response when I contacted both Google and Cloudflare was a shrug and a runaround, and the certificates were never revoked.

- A monitoring system that will only alert me on new certificates in the CT logs that it can't find on my infrastructure. Alternatively, an external system that will alert me if it sees a new certificate for foo.example.org that it can't see being used at foo.example.org - the low number of false positives should still make it worth it.

> What an absurd statement. Yeah, some people have had issues. But most of those did not have a trained DNS team. Or even person. I ran DNSSEC for hundreds of TLDs as a one man team. I'm not particularly smart or special...most TLDs have not had a DNSSEC outage. NZ did because they made mistakes, which could happen with any technology.

The evidence base is growing that even with a well funded, competent DNS, it's very possible to completely shoot yourself in the foot with a minimum time to recovery not entirely within your control. This is not a good technology with well-thought-through failure modes.

> Expired certs, for example, are much more prevalent. Should we throw away the CA system too?

When my website cert expires, my entire domain and all its endpoints don't completely become unreachable with no easy workaround. The impact is very different.

> I'm not even a DNSSEC advocate, really. I just find it bizarre so many people attack is as impossible to do. It's not. Attack it on its merits or lack of necessity instead.

It's a bit like the arguments around programming languages like C/C++. Just because you think you can write C with zero memory issues, doesn't mean we should be encouraging everyone else to.

Show HN: Whatifi – low code, decision-tree financial modelling. FU Excel
The value prop: we help CEOs, Founders and finance teams VISUALLY ask and answer their gnarliest “what if” type business and strategy questions - in seconds. No formulas. No spreadsheets.

Special sauce is an if-this-then-that style decision tree UI where you can connect together a whole whack of prebuilt business logic events together (think Income, Expense, Customers, Growth, Churn, Pricing, Employees, etc) to visually model out scenarios. Miro meets Excel. Unique part is that we run financial simulations through every single possible branch of that decision tree to spit out multiple concurrent outputs.

My background: 25+ years working in visual effects. Everything from District 9 to The Great Gatsby to Tron Legacy. To create all of that, we use very visual, node based type software; flowchart based that is designed for change, iterations and complex pixel calculations over time.

Aha moment was building personal financial models in Excel. Thought “why can’t I use that kind of if-this-then-that type workflow from VFX to build personal or business financial models”.

Bootstrap building for 4+ years. Lots of iterations and pivots. Focus is on business use cases now. Tech stack is React, Typescript, Postgres, Go and Konva for our UI/graphing. AWS behind the scenes.

Definitely a steep but short learning curve. Posted a longer tutorial video at the bottom.

The arguments for a reading of a historical difference between the "translations" falls apart when you show that the "history" is constructed therein: and such was my reading, Borges is making a magic trick which makes you think that there is such a thing as historical difference by inventing an impossible condition where you think the only reason the two different texts are different is because two different people wrote them, even though Borges authored neither.

> 9. Notably, a direct listing makes it unclear which shares are registered (covered by the registration document) and which are unregistered. According to SCOTUS, Pirrani can't tell, so he can't prove standing under Section 11.

Right. If you read judge Gorsuch's statement quoted in the article a bit between the lines, he says: The Securities Act is a nonsense law in this aspect. If a company makes incorrect statements in a public listing and offer you shares they will be liable. But if you buy shares of the same company from someone else who owned the shares before the company was listed, the company is not liable for their wrongdoing. There is no reason why some shares of the same type of a single company deserve more protection than others depending on who was a previous owner. A dysfunctional law.
