She also received $20M in stock, and $4.
5M in cash as a sign on bonus, as well as free use of a private jet and a yearly salary of $1.5M. CEOs deserve competitive compensation, it isn't an easy job, but that's enough to hire 163 pharmacists at an average of 150k/yr.

Deezer is decent.

You should bring your own hardware wherever possible. I'd never trust my local network to the ISP.

Email is commonly compromised. It's an easy target for bad actors executing a takeover.

As someone who has had to walk the "I don't do computers" public through basic things over the phone, I can confirm that yes, a lot of people are way too lazy to learn anything new. They will instead call the support folks and blast some poor person just trying to deal with their day. Call center volume goes up anytime any barrier is added. Agreed though, SMS OTP is constantly becoming less effective. Email OTP is somewhat pointless.

You can prefill the needle and keep it in a pencil case. Syringes work fine through clothes, although not ideal.

I'm an insulin dependent (T1) diabetic. I keep a glucagon kit on hand in case of an emergency. It's a syringe and vial that needs to be mixed. The idea is that if you're unconscious, someone that is close can administer. If I were severely hypoglycemic I'd have problems, but my partner wouldn't. I could pull it off if it were prefilled, but you can't prefill glucagon.

Edit: I totally get it and agree though. Life saving medicine shouldn't have any barriers.

I've always wondered why those that might need an epinephrine shot don't keep a vial and needle on hand. A vial of epinephrine goes for about $35. No judgement, just genuinely curious.
