risk is not zero, since golden parachute is usually less than potential lifetime earnings as CEO (for top tier candidate). CEO may get $20 min as severance, but would potentially lose hundreds of mils had he not taken this job, and instead

why keep separate postgres instance for this use case? One could easily have a single small Postgres instance for a few dollars that hosts all these small scale peanut sized toy databases and forget about it. if your main business critical

CEOs dont have an option to jump ship. All their actions are scrutinized heavily since they are public. By accepting CEO job they accepting a risk this could be their last CEO job ever, if they mess up. Thats why they require golden parachu

if CEO is extracting short-term profits, you can be 100% sure it is because Shareholders have demanded him to execute this exact plan. if the company has failed after squeezing short-term profits, there could be a chance that failure was in

you are confused if you dont understand the reason why CEOs have big severance while engineers have smaller severance

and put lives of employees, customers, vendors, and shareholders at stake?? sounds like a gamble

but CEOGPT doesn't care if it retains or loses the job, it may just randomly lead company to failure just because someone messed up temperature parameter when setting it up

CEOs lose jobs all the time, yes they get to receive golden parachute - but it is a cost of hiring a CEO. Like severance. Same way no good FAANG engineer would sign up without good pay package like base+RSU+bonus - same way no good CEO wou

CEOs dont do work, they bear responsibility. AI cannot bear responsibility, so who is going to take a blame if AI does a very bad job?

s3 is a complex system, you could be hitting a different node with subsequent requests where this cache entry does not exist yet. if you think egress is expensive, well storing data in RAM for cache purposes is 1000000x more expensive a lot
822.
by slt2021 2y ago
this can be explained that this may be not egress out of AWS, but egress out of S3 system itself. S3 is a block storage, so retrieving an object for such a high availability and high perf service means it tries to pull some X block of data

just wanted to make sure I understand correctly, upon authentication you just bake everything a user has access to (all policies) into a claims part of the JWT? how it would look like for example if a user has access to 10000 objects: are a

This can help in security/privacy setting. for example Great Chinese firewall: if you can split your traffic across multiple uplink channels, the firewall will have a hard time to put them together for enforcement?

by slt2021 3y ago
SNI is enough to classify traffic for enforcement purposes. dont forget that if certain SNI is detected, your ISP/government may try to force downgrade TLS or replace server-hello with their own cert - meaning you will need to install
