We already tax corporations. Taxation isn't surrending ownership control. It's very different, just like a property tax that funds a homeless shelter is very different from forcing someone to live with a squatter.
Rhineland model extends to for example the Netherlands as well. Scandinavian model likewise stresses a more diverse outlook on CSR and corporate stakeholders as well. The French model is a theme on its own - more like the other two than Anglo-American, though a lot more state-centric and mired in eternal strife with unions, where the other two are more about cooperation between the different factors of production.
Sure! Tokyo's actually pretty cheap (but the expense of a city has a lot more to do with its regulations regarding zoning and density). Cities just tend to have more expensive housing because they tend to have more bureaucratic barriers to building housing.

Anecdotally: this works for me. It is easy to eat without much salt (and sometimes even avoid salty food) when I don't crave it.

I do crave it often though, especially when I exercise more or don't eat much for longer time periods. I also drink a lot of water.
There's a reason why the U.S. government doesn't pay ransom money to terrorists - it would set a dangerous precedent.

The definition of the Markov property is that the process is memoryless - the probability distribution of the next state only depends on the previous state. This makes them an easy tool to use for mathematical analysis, but limits the amount of things they can model completely.

One simple way to add memory is to make states more complex. For example, instead of recording the weather each day as a state, you could record the weather for two day tuples. This allows more complex dynamics, but the number of states quickly increases.

Hierarchical Markov Models are another way to achieve this. In a HMM, there is a probability matrix for different types of weather (winter vs summer) and a probability matrix that governs transitions between each of these types.
But in the US, kids below 15 are not counted, this means that the population is artificially set at 80% of its real number.

These PPP income are pretty hard to compare. You have so much local variability within a country that you can only really compare the same kind of family situation in the same kind of city. You also need to compare against what you get from the system. For example, in the US, a part of your revenue is in your PPP if you are not ill, but if you get a cancer, you are good for a good stack of expenses depending on your health insurance, in the EU, the health insurance will cover all the costs. If you are in Denmark, you get access to free education (you even get paid to study), in Germany education is free.

As a French who has been working/living is several countries in the EU and have friends nearly all over the world, I can say, the real factor, if you are an engineer, is where you live, that is, the cost of housing. Because the salary as an engineer will be nearly the same in the country you live but the cost of living can vary a lot.

There are many more, but the fact that engineer's safety concerns were side stepped rarely sees light of the day after disaster strikes. Also it doesn't have to be a catastrophic failure. Sometimes the reduction of life span of a structure is cause of not taking care of all the concerns.

Also this does not stops with construction. Have you not heard about problems in cars or other engineering projects where safety concerns were ignored. If not, I have to ask you how old you are.

The more money is spent on healthcare and housing the less people have for everything else thus exasperating inequality.

>What value does workers electing their directors add for anybody?

It provides workers say in what they do, since the workers do LITERALLY ALL THE WORK. The shareholders do literally no work in a quest for profit at the expense of the people who DO THE WORK. The company/business cannot survive without workers, they are the most important part.

Have some solidarity for your fellow people. It's truly sickening that anyone would think workers shouldn't have any say at all and should just be useless cogs in the machine getting all representation gutted year after year so a few people can massively profit at the expense of everyone else.

Why do people always seem to forget that that 'Shareholders' frequently means pension funds for retired workers?

> "a collective ownership of business is like life in family where a woman has 10 husbands, all trying to make love to her at the same time."

This is an absurd and invalid metaphor. This is a typical attempt at oversimplifying and reducing complicated networks into a nonsensical scaled down version. You use different management techniques for teams of 2 vs 10 vs 50 vs 100 vs 1000 vs 10,000 vs a state vs a nation vs the world.

If there is 2 people on a development team, we can largely get by on vocal communication of goals, ideas, tasks, etc. If I'm working on a team of 100 developers, you can't possibly communicate goals, ideas and tasks effectively person to person, now you need to add bureaucracy, automated systems, layers of management, or split the 100 developers into small teams so they can have the person to person communication with team to team liaisons (or insert X strategy of the week for managing large software projects with many people).

You state the following, clearly as problems with 0 explanation:
>1. the industry taxed near to the limit.

A useless truism

>2. Welfare is not cheap by any means.

A useless truism

>3. Germany is an ageing country, and the amount of welfare payouts will go even further.

A useless truism

>1. I find the idea that a man owning a single share of the company can sue the management to death for doing virtually anything.

Please be more specific of what "virtually anything" means and please show a "virtually anything" lawsuit.

>2. The subsequent dominance of extreme CYA attitudes that American managers are famous for.

Covering your ass is an unavoidable outgrowth of large systems of people. When doing things at scale, redundancy and fail over is extremely important.

>3. The fact that company ownership became an extremely bureaucratised thing.

Bureaucracy is a necessary outgrowth of large systems of people. Yes, it sucks that you can't coordinate your team of 1000 on a whim, like you can a team of 2, but this is unavoidable at scale, do to the communication gaps between large networks of people.

> I'm a big believer that a business must have an owner. My own experience working in public companies: an omnipresent atmosphere of "ownerlessness" and people not minding "leaving things broken" for reasons that they are not paid to fix them. Without a clear "boss" around, work tend descend into being a Brownian motion. And all of that gets progressively worse closer to C-suite offices, if the company is of type that changed few generations of management.

Do to your clear lack of material understanding of large systems of people, I find this anecdote dubious.

Yea the SEC administrative order includes quite an Orwellian redefinition of "sale", that attempts to expand its scope far beyond what people commonly understand the word to mean:

>Rather, a “gift” of a security is a “sale” within the meaning of the
Securities Act when the donor receives some real benefit.

and

>Tomahawk received value in exchange for the bounty distributions, in the form of
online marketing including the promotion of the ICO on blogs and other online forums.
Tomahawk also received value in the creation of a public trading market for its securities. See
Sierra Brokerage, 608 F. Supp. 2d at 940 (“where a ‘gift’ disperses corporate ownership and
thereby helps to create a public trading market it is treated as a sale”).

The latter, "Tomahawk also received value in the creation of a public trading market for its securities", justification, is alarming. It appears the SEC's definition of a sale is any issuance that benefits the issuer by any means, which is inconsistent with what 'sale' means in standard English, which is an exchange of a good/service for money. The SEC is going beyond just defining a barter exchange (the "bounty" provided in exchange for promotional services rendered) a sales transaction, to considering even none-exchanges as sales transactions.

By the SEC's unbound definition, a charitable issuance of securities that brings goodwill and thus value to a brand would be a sale.

I don't think the bill checks whether a company is private or not. Merely whether it has $1 billion in revenues or not. So it doesn't directly affect whether a company will want to go public.

Post-Agile: embracing asynchronous processes
Primarily because people love to complain, it's the number one sport of all of humanity.

The US median cost of living is lower than in: Germany, France, UK, Australia, Sweden, Finland, Canada.

Healthcare is a very legitimate complaint. It's plainly outrageous. Even in the case where the bill is often mostly footed by an employer, that comes out of wages to one degree or another.

Housing is not a legitimate complaint (everyone doesn't live in NYC, LA, Seattle and SF). The median US costs on rent and housing are lower than any comparable disposable income nation, and you get far larger accomodations (space) in the US than the other nations.

Education is not a legitimate complaint. The US is overflowing with modestly priced, high quality in-state university choices, including quite affordable state schools. If you spend $160,000 on a shit paying degree from a tier two school for no good reason, that's on you. You don't get to bitch about doing something that dumb when you could have gotten the exact same degree for $40,000 and paid for half of it with a part-time job over four years.

It might be good to get a neurological checkup if your uni has a clinic that could do that or refer you out for one just to rule out anything obvious. On the practical side of things, Cal Newport (calnewport.com) has written extensively on study strategies. Unfortunately he was just a toddler by the time I was in college so I can't directly attest to whether they work but his writing on deep work did resonate well with me.

Note that it is because Germany has the highest percent of part-time jobs, especially poor jobs or the mother in a family. The system is built in a way that it is hard to have two real full-time jobs in a family. It works pretty well in the former East Germany but in the former West, the standard is that after 4PM schools etc. are closed. This has improved in the last years, but not to the point to easily have two full time jobs.

This my experience from living 5 years in the former East and afterwards moving to the West (already 7 years).

I recognize the problem, but I’m very skeptical that the solution is a democratic process to elect directors. It optimizes for the completely wrong qualities necessary for a directorship, and I could easily see it hurting the workers more than helping them.

What I find amusing is that the same people who support this bill are upset that Trump was elected through a democratic process. Many of these supporters would say the democratic process failed the American people. So why would they want to apply the same framework to corporate governance? It seems a bit hypocritical to be honest.

The workers are free to start their own company whenever they want, btw.
Should there be an official Google update or blog on this?
Lots of other commentators are saying that the property of MCs is that they are memory-less, but in fact it's trivial to make a MC have deeper memory: Use tuples.

So if you have observations A, B, C, B, C, A, D, A, ... then you form pairs: (A,B), (B,C), (C,B), (B,C), (C,A), (A,D), (D,A), ...

Each node in the MC is one of these pairs, and (X,Y) -> (Y,Z) if Z is the new state that appears.

The number of states grows very quickly, but if you make the system dynamic then it works fine. This is what you use to randomly generate text using the previous 3 words as a predictor for the next. Then (w0,w1,w2) predicts w3, and your next "state" is (w1,w2,w3).

And so on.
> The upper bounds of complexity are higher in software than construction. It's not narcissism, it's just the nature of that kind of work.

It's a wonder that it works so well in fact.

I think software is probably the most complex and difficult engineering humans undertake. If you think of all the ways that a program can crash, compute incorrect results, and generally go wrong -- it's amazing that it even works at all let alone that in practice it works so well.

And we don't even have a widely accepted body of knowledge, capital-P professional obligations, liability, etc. We constantly hire people with no formal training, give them no formal training, and make no expectations of their expertise. We hire them for lots of money and put them in front of important projects and we promote them up. It's almost unreal.

Talk to a civil engineer or a doctor about what it took them to enter their profession and the amount of work they have to put in to maintain their license. And they get paid less than most software engineers.

And yet it's still somewhat unbelievable. Digging tunnels requires a lot of expertise and domain knowledge but as others have mentioned: there are only so many rocks out there to encounter. Once you have a thorough survey there are scant few unexpected problems you might run into.

But computing? Well... unless there's a battle-tested library that solves the exact problem you have then you're basically solving the problem from scratch. And one mistake is all it takes. You can't just add an extra I-beam or use a stronger steel... there's no fudge-factor in discrete systems. The whole enterprise of computing is managing complexity -- we have whole fields dedicated to the study of complexity with plenty of unsolved problems!

I believe it is just the nature of the work and why it remains so infuriatingly difficult to predict outcomes.

My pet response when someone asks why estimating software is hard: you've lost your keys in your house. give me an estimate on how long you think it will take to find them. I know you're going to think that if the keys are in the usual place it will take less than a minute. But if they're not... If you check all the places you might've been in the last few hours, maybe 5 minutes. But if they're not there then you'll have to think about how to search your whole house which could take hours. And what if you still don't find them?

And on and on.

You are mistating the 3/5 compromise, which does not define the worth of a slave as 3/5 of a non-slave. Your version makes it sound as if it would be better if dishes were fully counted for apportionment, when that would be worse.

The compromise gives additional representation to the free citizens of a slave state equal based on 3/5 of the number of slaves, but if voting power is worth, then it is saying that worth of those who enslave is enhanced by the number enslaved. The slaves themselves, though, are not recognized having any worth.

The only sense in which the 3/5 compromise makes a slave worth 3/5 of a non-slave is that it makes the marginal increase in voting power a free citizen derived from an additional slave in the state 3/5 of what they receive from a disenfranchised non-slave. (IOW, Jim Crow and it's modern successors are 67% more politically effective for the disenfranchisers per disenfranchised person than actual slavery under the 3/5 compromise.)

>It seems a bit like becoming president

I think this is why it is hard. Look at the people who ran for president in 2016. A lot of people want to be president, but most voters see, among a large pool, at most one person they think would fit the bill (and I think in the last election, a lot of people thought no one did). It's really hard to make a choice in such a situation. In the case of presidential elections, it's simply a matter of procedure that one person has to be selected on a specific day. Looking for a CEO? I'm sure the temptation to keep shopping when none of the candidates look ideal is very appealing.
