She also received $20M in stock, and $4.
5M in cash as a sign on bonus, as well as free use of a private jet and a yearly salary of $1.5M. CEOs deserve competitive compensation, it isn't an easy job, but that's enough to hire 163 pharmacists at an average of 150k/yr.

Deezer is decent.

You should bring your own hardware wherever possible. I'd never trust my local network to the ISP.

Email is commonly compromised. It's an easy target for bad actors executing a takeover.

As someone who has had to walk the "I don't do computers" public through basic things over the phone, I can confirm that yes, a lot of people are way too lazy to learn anything new. They will instead call the support folks and blast some poor person just trying to deal with their day. Call center volume goes up anytime any barrier is added. Agreed though, SMS OTP is constantly becoming less effective. Email OTP is somewhat pointless.

I hear ya. The KitchenAid stand mixers are still tanks though. I have one that's a couple years old. I abuse it a lot. It cares not.

You can prefill the needle and keep it in a pencil case. Syringes work fine through clothes, although not ideal.

I'm an insulin dependent (T1) diabetic. I keep a glucagon kit on hand in case of an emergency. It's a syringe and vial that needs to be mixed. The idea is that if you're unconscious, someone that is close can administer. If I were severely hypoglycemic I'd have problems, but my partner wouldn't. I could pull it off if it were prefilled, but you can't prefill glucagon.

Edit: I totally get it and agree though. Life saving medicine shouldn't have any barriers.

I've always wondered why those that might need an epinephrine shot don't keep a vial and needle on hand. A vial of epinephrine goes for about $35. No judgement, just genuinely curious.

I think you win. Glad you and doggo are okay.

I don't think there's really a comparison, but the US Fed increased the prime rate significantly more than how you worded that. They did it over a year or so depending on how you interpret the data. The rate was increased by 5%, which is more than double, from 3/22 to 8/23.

Coldfusion (Adobe) comes to mind. There is an open source CFML clone or two, but the real deal is a bit pricey. It's mostly used by government, higher ed., and healthcare. It's not terrible, but it was cooler when it was younger IMO.

Vote with your wallet. Deezer is pretty good. I switched to them when Spotify decided I needed Rogan in my life despite their algorithm undoubtedly indicating otherwise.

Stanford's website has always been solid. When I was an edu dev, we always paid attention to them. They're definitely a mobile first shop. I'm not sure why you perceive them as dated.

The way I read it, the fine is capped to $1M NOK.
