€25,000 is still pricey. The BYD Atto 1 recently dropped to AU$19,990 in Australia, which is €12,412. I think it will be hugely popular at this price point.

For what it's worth I think you are correct, and that these differences have nothing to do with being SSD-based.

That's S3 Express One Zone. Directory buckets are SSD-backed and regular buckets are HDD-backed. Some of the API differences off the top of my head:

- Directory entries are no longer returned in sorted order in ListObjectsV2

- There's an AppendObject API

- There's a RenameObject API

I recently (a couple of weeks ago) got the 6K version of this screen, the Asus PA32QCV. It has the same pixel density as my MacBook Pro, so the UI looks great. To be honest, it's enough screen real estate that I now operate with my laptop in clam shell mode.

My only complaint is that the KVM leaves a bit to be desired. One input can be Thunderbolt, but the other has to be HDMI/DisplayPort. That means I need to use a USB-C cable for real KVM when switching between my two laptops. I'd like two cables, but four cables isn't the end of the world.

Can you say more about retatrutide for IBS? My IBS is debilitating to the point where I usually refuse to eat food on week-long work trips, because the unplanned emergency toilet trips wreak havoc with my schedule and ability to sit in meetings all day. I'd never heard there was a solution to it.

I'm also based in Melbourne. I would add that all the above is true of maybe 95% of companies, but there are a few exceptions: big US-based tech companies. There are roles for devs that pay AU$250-$550K/year, including the data engineers. Unfortunately, there appears to be zero correlation with expertise and we have the exact same pain zone experience that I had when I was earning a third of this salary at an AU-headquartered company.

FYI I love your work with Gimlet, etc.

I too would love "native" support for SSH CAs in EC2. What I ended up doing is adding a line to every EC2 userdata script that would rewrite the /home/ec2-user/.ssh/authorized_keys file to treat the provided EC2 keypair as a CA instead of a regular pubkey.

Can you explain what you mean by "for many years they were not [default deny]"? I've been using S3 for 10+ years and I can't remember a time when they were ever open-by-default.

If you mean there were years where it was dangerously easy to accidentally open up a bucket, you'll get no disagreement from me. But I can't think of a time when they weren't default deny.

Apple still has this program. I haven't worked as an iOS developer for a few years now, but I remember their paid "technical support incidents" were extremely high quality. It was $50 per incident, but I think that was just to reduce spam.

I remember being astounded by the technical depth of a particular answer and looking up the the engineer on LinkedIn. He had 20+ years of experience at Apple - and it showed in his answer.

That's actually an interesting one - it depends on your jurisdiction. E.g. in all Australian jurisdictions (and quite a few US states), one cannot consent to serious bodily harm. Some jurisdictions allow consent as a defence for "lower" assaults that don't meet the threshold of serious bodily harm. In Australia (I'm not as familiar with other countries), there are usually explicit carve-outs for sports like boxing, but only when under the purview of a licensed boxing authority.
