Credit cards do the same, no? You can initiate a chargeback.

Being to blame is different than being actively trying to sabotage you. Many companies will be re-evaluating their relationship after this problem happened, but doing that while your systems aren't functional seems counter-productive.

Changing vendors and choosing one that's more reliable is a perfectly sensible outcome of this situation once your system are back up and you're no longer hemorrhaging money.

During an ongoing incident, when all of your operations are down, is not the time for it though. If you think there's even a 1% chance that the help can help, you should probably take it and fix your immediate problem. You can re-evaluate your decisions and vendor choices after that.

It’s the same with canadian and asian airlines. Is it not the case in the US?

I just assumed all airlines did it.

Most companies don't pay that, step 1 is identifying the companies that do and focusing your efforts on them exclusively. This will depend on where you live, or on your remote opportunities.

Step 2 is gaining the skills they are looking for. Appropriate language/framework/skill/experience they optimize for.

Step 3 is to prepare for their interview process, which is often quite involved. But they pay well, so when they say jump, you jump.

I'm not saying you'll find $600k as a normal pay, that's quite out of touch unless you're in Silicon Valley (and even then). But you'll find (much) higher than market salary.

Hindbærsnitter? It's a danish dessert with raspberry filling and icing on top. It's very much a better pop tarts.

It's actually more than that. Last I checked the US government spends much more per capita on health care than any other country on earth. And by a large margin, not quite twice the 2nd country spending the most but almost.

A public company can absolutely issue new shares, it's not the typical way companies raise money but it happens all the time. GameStop itself did it during the craze to capitalize on the increase share price did they not?

No idea why you think it would bankrupt the company, it changes nothing. The new shares is balanced by the new money on the balance sheet.

Comparing the permanent loss of a limb to a possible fine to a corporation for mishandling data is a bit out of touch.

Put it in cold water in the fridge, it goes pretty fast that way. It has saved my bacon a few times (both literally and figuratively).

Historically sitting on cash is a terrible decision a majority of the time, it's not even close. Without knowing you, your chance of correctly timing the peak and the bottom of the market is simply abysmal. The market may crash tomorrow, but it probably won't.

Let's say by incredible luck you manage to time both of these events perfectly, then what? There will be other crashes in the future, that's a certainty. And you won't be able to time all of them.

The difference between null and undefined in JavaScript is something I wished had never been implemented. Other languages refer to null as their billion dollar mistake, but somehow JavaScript got 2 of them with slightly different but sometime identical behaviour. I would defer to eslint to prevent this particular issue if you care about it, this allows you to set rules in your own code without any impact to the outside world.

I have only seen null vs undefined lead to 2 things in my experience: mistakes and bikeshedding.
