Are you seriously saying you spend 8+ hours a day working for a company and don't have a contract that manages your rights (like salary, PTO, ...) and obligations (work hours, presence, ...)? Mind blown.

If the story goes like FTX, we'll only know after it's too late. Not being incorporated anywhere (which is the last thing I heard about the matter) is an extremely bright red flag, so that's some evidence (in the Bayesian sen

I'd be quite interested in the billing part. Such a charger needs to be presented some kind of authorization, but the amount of energy transferred (and thus the amount charged) is only determined later. Is the logic for that server-sid

They mentioned that the shadow file was empty before they set their own root password. So, nothing to brute-force except the two public SSH keys, which seem (eyeballing from the length of the key) to be at least 2048 bit RSA keys.

A rough rule of thumb is about 1 EUR per 1W of nominal / peak power output if you buy the parts yourself and handle installation, a bit more if you pay for installation as well. This is from Germany, I hear prices differ a bit between

In general, higher electricity prices mean that rooftop solar amortizes faster, since you save more per kWh that you don't have to purchase from the supplier. Rates for feed electricity into the grid vary widely within the EU, for exam

Forbidding child labor isn't enough on its own, it should come with enough social support for families that they don't need to send their kids working. A non-coercive education system would also be fantastic :-)
