Just thinking about it gives me very strong anxiety. I had to sit next to my daughter, she's sleeping and breathing.

One of my childhood friend lost his little brother in a similar accident. 25 years later, I have a similar phobia of private swimming pools, ponds or any unsupervised water surface. I cannot see a private swimming pool and not think about him. He was a happy toddler, just like my kids today.

I receive mails from sudo incidents generated by my users, I check the boxes except the gray beard.

I shave, I try to keep my demeanor as gray as possible.

What about the red dress and flying reindeer?

I've seen it a few times and I still don't understand how we can allow such blatant conflict of interests at the management level...

It seems to me that from the university's standpoint, a company is considered a plus instead of corruption, i.e. have "real-world" impact, and perhaps the university will have a stake in the company as well (not sure about this). If so, it is a win-win situation for both the university management and the professor, only the student lose, and who cares about that little grad student?

Typically not a stake that I know of but a school like MIT makes a lot of money from technology licensing.

Is this where “tech transfer” comes in and the University gets a piece of the departing business or a perpetual licensing agreement?

Universities often benefit from it financially. There almost always is an agreement between the professor and the university.

Everyone makes money?

You should also quote the rest of the paragraph then:

> Maybe I have been hacked but simply have not noticed. That is also a possibility. But I store some crypto currency on my computer and I make crypto transactions from time to time. If my computer had been compromised by an invisible attacker I figure that attacker would have had an interest in crypto assets.

I lived on 500€/month for several years with only a microwave oven, and if your BMI is between 20 and 25, you can just eat canned vegetables at 0.50€ half of the time and be healthy.

I can't eat green beans anymore though.

Personally, it was corn I got burnt out on, but canned foods were a lifesaver. Usually precooked too, can skip the microwave.

I'm not sure if I prefer a slow ftth deployment or the spaghetti cabling of hell from Bucharest streets. There must be a way to do it correctly...

Last I lived there (2015) it was very well organized and more reliable than most other infrastructure in Romania.
