165,453 | null | null | This is not an appropriate use of a PE multiple because different companies have different growth rates at various stages. The earlier the life cycle, the higher the PE given potential growth later on is much higher. This post is actually pretty misleading and gives people the wrong idea about how PE multiples should be applied. | null | jboydyhacker | null | 1,294,410,384 | "2011-01-07T14:26:24Z" | comment | 2,079,602 | 2,079,250 | null | null | null |
165,454 | null | null | Most of the cleaning service people are not <i>really</i> taxpayers[1], which is why including them distorts the equation. They are benefiting w/out contributing, and we do in fact, need them.
Also reinforcing my point, How can you claim that Defense is the only public good in the top 5? What percentage of the population must benefit to qualify?<p>[1]From other IRS data, we can see that in 2008, around 52 million tax returns were filed with either positive or negative AGI that used exemptions, deductions and tax credits to completely wipe out their federal income tax liability. Not only did they get back every dollar that the federal government withheld from their paychecks during 2008, but some even received more back from the IRS. | null | raleec | null | 1,294,410,328 | "2011-01-07T14:25:28Z" | comment | 2,079,601 | 2,074,173 | null | null | null |

165,459 | null | null | First, I'll mirror my distaste for the lack of 1200 height screens. I recently purchased a laptop and had to settle for a 1080 screen over a 1200 due to the exorbitant prices.

I can comfortably fit two columns of code if I wish, or one column with room for other apps on the side (IM, my taskbar to the right, reference material, etc.).<p>Complaining because your screen is too wide makes no sense.

165,460 | null | null | Thanks for the feedback!<p>> 1. Community is absolutely a weasel word when you're using it to lump together people from many different backgrounds and speak on behalf of them, or to act as if your particular sense of identity is representative of a whole group.<p>Help me find a better word for what I'm trying to say here: When I say "as a community" I mean, "as people who ought to be concerned about the social impact of our decisions as much as the economics and personal motivations"<p>> 2. Nothing is bad about a flea market. I just would like to be able to also have public non-commercial spaces for learning, and have them be well funded and supported too. I meant it literally when I say the current model works too well economically, and so there is less incentive to make long-term investments in educational resources that are explicitly for the common good.<p>> 3. It comes down to economics and social capital. Those who have gained notoriety through luck, connections, or money, tend to have their signal amplified indefinitely.<p>Yes, if someone really starts being malicious in what they do they will eventually lose their reputation, but it's a slow process and so those who get into that position tend to stay there. This is the nature of a competitive environment, whereas a cooperative environment intentionally makes adjustments to mitigate that effect. It's a little hard to explain because we have so many examples of the former and so few of the latter.<p>> 4. We agree, and I said that a few times in the article. It wasn't just for rhetorical purposes. I'm saying, if the current model is an improvement and evolution of a worse model that existed in the past, maybe we can still think about a new paradigm shift that is much better than what we have now.<p>But honestly, I'd be perfectly satisfied with comfortable co-existence between the commercialized education model. Even if 80% of our work was indirectly or directly tied to commercial promotion, it'd be nice if 20% of our resources could exist in the commons.<p>> 5. Not referring to developer tools here, I'm talking about developer education. There are plenty of "learn to code" things that are not effective, but because they're marketed well, they make plenty of money. In addition of these, there are plenty of "how to make money as a coder" things, etc.<p>There are also plenty of examples of open source tools that are poorly documented or designed, yet due to their popularity or entrenchment, spawn a business of consultants and educators to teach people commercially to use these things, without contributing the materials back to the commons under free documentation licenses. This is valuable work and shows that our marketplace is semi-efficient, but it's not socially optimal. The socially optimal result is for the information to be released as free documentation.<p>> In summary:<p>I guess my thesis missed you, because that's not what I meant to say at all. What I said is, "the world is unequal, and so it will tend to favor a tiny minority of privileged folks unless we actively seek to balance things".<p>For my own part, I've spent the last five years creating what may be the largest collection of open source learning materials for Ruby programmers in the world (find it at practicingruby.com). If you google "infrastructure automation", one of our articles is the top hit. If you google "actor model", one of our articles is on the front page. Neither of these articles were written by people with sizable followings or influence on the internet.<p>I paid these folks for their work, helped them shape and edit their content, and gave them access to a much larger audience than what they would have reached on their own. My own name does not appear on their work, nor does anything promoting some third party product or service.<p>People do pay for Practicing Ruby. Not commercial sponsors, but readers and community supporters. It'd be nice to see a few dozen similar publications on various topics, and for the model and motivation to be well understood and supported.<p>The problem I have is that this kind of thinking about publishing is something people never even give a passing thought... so as someone trying to do something different, I am constantly fighting an uphill battle.<p>I don't want to overstate my own role in making a difference here... I view my own project as a baby step, one of many necessary to make the kind of changes I'd like to see in the world. But at least I'm trying to stand up for my principles by putting the ideas into practice. | null | sandal | null | 1,433,452,025 | "2015-06-04T21:07:05Z" | comment | 9,662,063 | 9,661,746 | null | null | null |

165,462 | null | null | sure, but the Anglo Saxon words sharing common roots with German have diverged at lot once you get beyond phrases as simple as "mein Name ist". It's not just a reflection on the English education system that after 5 years of high school German (and an A grade!) I could often grok more from a text written in a Romance language I <i>hadn't</i> learned than written German.<p>On the plus side, German has no sounds English speakers should find difficult to pronounce, nicely regular word order and a fondness for compound words which are as simple to remember as they are long, but by the standards of European language groups the vocabulary really isn't that similar. | null | notahacker | null | 1,433,452,037 | "2015-06-04T21:07:17Z" | comment | 9,662,066 | 9,657,880 | null | null | null |

165,466 | null | null | If you're talking about the Community Reinvestment Act then perhaps you should go into more detail about why you feel it was responsible:<p><a href="http://www.businessweek.com/investing/insights/blog/archives/2008/09/community_reinvestment_act_had_nothing_to_do_with_subprime_crisis.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.businessweek.com/investing/insights/blog/archives...</a><p>Supposedly 50% of loans were done by institutions who were not regulated under the CRA. There were plenty of institutions making bad loans w/o any pressure what so ever.<p>Wall Street pretty much deserves about one hundred percent of the blame. No one investigated or cared where mortgage back securities were coming from or how viable they were. Just because the temptation is there to take advantage of something, doesn't mean you should.

165,471 | null | null | This is not modelling a wealth tax. This is disingenuous whining because it fails to take into account that wealth taxes kick in at the point that where people have become wealthy. Lets say it kicks in at 100 million. So you still get to keep 100 million before you pay any tax on that wealth? Or in other words you still get to be incredibly, obscenely wealthy, you just reduce the chance to become wealthy beyond the dreams of avarice. Not seeing how this is particularly demotivating to people want ting to found startups. Lets say it kicks in at 10 million instead. Again you still have the chance to become extremely wealthy before you have to pay it. And if you don't think being worth £10 million is extremely wealthy that's because youre comparing yourself to billionaires. Even if it kicks in a £1 million you still get the chance to become wealthy! Sure maybe at this point to you're reducing the number if people willing to put in 80 hour weeks in the hope of winning the startup lottery but given the number of people who pour their heart and soul into passion projects without the chance of becoming billionaires I don't see that as a problem. Seriously this idea that if we tax the wealthy to the point where they can only afford a single yacht and a modest private island they'll all go on some terrible Randian strike and well somehow lose the value they create is bollocks. | null | throwaway936482 | null | 1,597,767,638 | "2020-08-18T16:20:38Z" | comment | 24,200,598 | 24,198,172 | null | null | null |

165,488 | null | null | Every year for the last 4 years, Apple has spent 50% more on labor[1]. Mainly because it’s hiring so many new employees, but also because it’s raising salaries and benefits.<p>As of September 2012, Apple had 76,100 employees, including 42,400 Apple retail store employees. Operating expenses in FY2012 divided by the total number of employees were $176,360.<p>As for employees at Apple’s suppliers, Apple releases a Supplier Responsibility report every year[2], in which they detail exactly what they’ve done to ensure suppliers treat their workers well. Apple already made Foxconn pay their workers more in past years, but the pay increase alone is not a good solution. From Apple’s latest report:<p><i>“Third-party labor agencies help many suppliers recruit contract workers from other countries. [...] Workers are often required to pay fees to each of these agencies to gain employment. [...] They must hand over a high proportion of their wages to recruiters to pay this debt, and they have to remain at the job until the debt is paid. We consider this a form of bonded labor, and it is strictly prohibited by our Supplier Code of Conduct. When we find violations, suppliers must reimburse excessive recruitment fees—anything higher than the equivalent of one month’s net wages—for any eligible contract worker found working on Apple projects.”</i><p>[1] Apple annual report FY2012: <a href="http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/AAPL/2439775143x0xS1193125-12-444068/320193/filing.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/AAPL/2439775143x0xS11...</a><p>[2] Apple Supplier Responsibility report 2013: <a href="http://www.apple.com/supplierresponsibility/" rel="nofollow">http://www.apple.com/supplierresponsibility/</a> | null | Samuel_Michon | null | 1,366,754,531 | "2013-04-23T22:02:11Z" | comment | 5,598,279 | 5,597,911 | null | null | null |

165,497 | null | null | My intent was not to be misleading by posting this.<p>More context on the political situation would perhaps been relevant, but also very hard to give concisely in an understandable form since different countries work quite differently.<p>The political situation is such that this was basically the expected "go ahead" for the parliament to formulate the official NATO application, since you have start a formal process at some point.<p>The only party in the government that had not made it's position public was the prime ministers own party Social Democrats (SDP). It would be quite impossible for them to hold any other position than Prime Minister has. Plus - public opinion was heavily loaded for NATO (76%) already. This was not due to propaganda, but a very grass roots shift simply caused by the Russian attack to Ukraine. There are still people alive who had to abandon their childhood homes to areas ceded to Russia in WW2, and most people have veterans of that war in their family. Previous situation in Ukraine and Georgia were more "obscure" combined with seditionist movements. The attack on 24th February was an all out war.<p>I am not sure how well versed finns are of the tactical situation, but most of the units formerly positioned on the Finnish border are now tied in Ukraine or already neutralized there, so from a tactical perspective, given Russians rabid empire building stance it has taken recently, this was an excellent window to act due to impossibility of military response. | null | fsloth | null | 1,652,512,545 | "2022-05-14T07:15:45Z" | comment | 31,375,765 | 31,355,463 | null | null | null |

165,534 | null | null | Lots of great suggestions here. I believe the answer will be different for everyone based on their weaknesses and what super power people desire to learn. I've added about half of dozen of these to my Wish List now.<p>I don't read many books (I want to read more), but when I do I like something engaging, fun, imaginative, and different. So, I'll recommend any good fiction book that engages you. A book you can't put down. You want to keep reading to find out what happens next. It causes you to think, it causes you to imagine. It can cause you to think about things uniquely instead of being told to do so and give all sorts of ideas and new thoughts. If like me, you will end up remembering the characters, the situations for almost life and want to come back to re-read it some day.<p>My favorite modern day fiction books are fantasy / science fiction, something I would never experience in this world. In order: Shadows of the Empire by far my favorite, no reason off the top of my head and I am not a Star Wars fan, but I love it none the less. Followed by Harry Potter series. It's honestly a very fun read. Lord of the Rings and Hobbit will be popular choices I'm sure, but they just did not catch me and engage me like these 2. | null | b3b0p | null | 1,356,802,666 | "2012-12-29T17:37:46Z" | comment | 4,982,701 | 4,979,938 | null | null | null |

165,536 | null | null | I think you just pointed out the problem with vocational education. Going to law school is a vocational education, as is getting an education to become a mechanic. Vocational educations take years (sometimes almost a decade) to complete. From the time you start your vocational education to the time you finish it, the market can drastically change (see Law and nursing). That lucrative job that you thought was waiting for you...isn't.

165,546 | null | null | This is accurate. John K originally criticized 90s Disney animators for copying the Nine Old Men. He introduced the term on his blog and it spread across the internet. The CalArts style is whatever style is popular among each graduating class. And when someone doesn't like it, they try to use the term negatively.<p>The UPA influence became the popular CalArts style with Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter's Lab) and Craig McCracken (Powerpuff Girls). And the CalArts style evolved again around the time of Pendleton Ward (Adventure Time) with bean mouths and noodle arms. This is still popular today.<p>It's really whatever creators' like to draw, is economical for a TV production, and gets a positive reaction out of the audience. | null | aceazzameen | null | 1,635,861,393 | "2021-11-02T13:56:33Z" | comment | 29,081,261 | 29,077,171 | null | null | null |

165,552 | null | null | It sounds like what you really need are flawless automated systems because humans will not always be able to compensate if the system errors are serious enough. And in this case they tacked on a kludgey flight control subsystem without adequate testing to see how it impacted the overall flight control, and did not bother telling the pilots. The executives probably did this to save money even though engineering told them it was unethical. | null | ilaksh | null | 1,552,530,250 | "2019-03-14T02:24:10Z" | comment | 19,386,032 | 19,381,931 | null | null | null |
