That depends on the size of their holdings and on how liquid the stock really was, it might take quite a while to liquidate a large holding and it would very likely depress the market, especially if all the execs decided to liquidate their complete holdings (assuming they would be even allowed to).

So the consensus is what it is given normal volume, likely a relatively small chunk of shares changing hands repeatedly rather than a really large block being sold once. The latter would almost certainly depress the price.
"there’s a lot more to realising good parallel speedup than just choosing the right language"

from ye olde days - if you can't split up computation into nice isolated chucks point is moot, so relatively fine granularity of your algo stepping is the key here, lack or severe control of side effects means you don't get to make too many mistakes related to mechanics of running the computation.

How much of your upbringing was atypical? How much of it was due to familial influence? Or a unique environment? It's interesting how people tend to be blind to their own privilege.

There's this pervasive idea that those who are entrepreneurs are better than the rest and therefore justifies their wealth and status. There's this other equally pervasive idea that we're all exactly equal and therefore "if I did it, you could have as well".
>For any government or doctor to dictate to the individual adult citizen what he/she can or cannot put into or onto their bodies, is tyranny.

Interesting...I worked on a case once where a pregnant woman with HIV/AIDs refused medication which would ensure the baby was born without HIV. The Court ordered the treatments against the woman's wishes/will...is that really tyranny?

I'm not claiming that TV manufacturers don't get some money from rev shares. My point is that it's not money the manufacturer can count on because subscribing or buying extra services is optional for customers on every set that I've seen. The CPM from just displaying ads in a program guide has to be tiny as CPMs for display only is crap everywhere. In my view, that's why some of these UIs have every pixel for sale, it's not highly valued.

For myself and my sample of family and friends, TVs are displays. We buy the screen we want based on size, specs and image quality, we never connect the screen to the internet, run one HDMI into it and control the feed upstream from a cable or satellite box, streaming box (FireTV, AppleTV, etc) or HTPC running something like Plex. As for the remote control, after configuring the screen to HDMI-1 and turning off all the stupid hyped-up color, frame interpolation and other gimmicky modes that try to create pixels that were never in the source signal, I take the batteries back out of the remote and toss it in the box full of all the other unused TV remotes in the basement waiting for when the screen gets donated to a friend or relative in several years (I just had a funny image pop in my head of all those remotes sitting in the box commiserating like the forgotten toys in the attic in Toy Story).

Manufacturers get zero incremental revenue from us. I'm sure they get some rev from some people but it's going to be a blended average with a fair number of zero samples. The reason I think this is I have a little personal experience doing software bundle deals with hardware consumer electronics manufacturers. It was similar in that if consumers bought into the upsell on our apps there was a rev split with the manufacturer. CE manufacturers invariably assigned zero net present value to any theoretical future revenue that isn't guaranteed. They live and die by their quarterly COGS when it hits the dock in Shenzen. I'm not saying their business can't change over time but that's where it's coming from.
> The class divided up into first world, developing, and poorer nations and each had to bring their needs to the table while trying to compromise.

Modeling the debate on the dimension of national wealth seems like a good idea. I'm curious, was there any discussion about potential value in modeling on other dimensions, such as political affiliation?
I too think that people that refuse to believe are a problem, but honestly, they are nowhere near the primary problem. The primary problem is that people will greedily hold onto a broken status quo if fixing it means they might be held accountable. There is always someone else that is the problem, never yourself.

In Seattle, almost everybody agrees with the scientific consensus on global warming. But if you ask them how to fix it, they'll tell you to go after the oil companies. Or corporations in general. Or China. Or India. But a carbon tax? One that raises my gas bill? No way! Everybody else is the problem, never me.
Unfortunately software engineering is not considered a "professional service" according to the final text in AB5. I'm not sure where you're seeing an exemption for software engineers in either of your linked resources. "Engineers" aren't software engineers if that's what you thought it was (see the part where a license is required).

I think this kind of article is helpful.

The thing I notice most is a lot of people buy cars (and replace them frequently) that are way above their "level" and represent hugely irresponsible decisions.

E.x. you should be way into 7 figures of wealth accumulation before you start leasing/buying $50-70k luxury cars.

You never know what someone's stock portfolio/401k/IRA whatever looks like but it's always an eyebrow-raiser for me to see someone drive up in an expensive car and then they later tell you they pay rent and have never bought property and the longer you talk to them the more you realize they're probably living paycheck to paycheck.. just with a relatively large paycheck that disappears nearly completely.

Especially when the trendy area to rent gets you a small studio or 1BR apartment for $2.5-3.5k/month and that's enough to pay the mortgage on a $1M property within 10 miles of said apartment.
Sounds like a good thing to me
Woosh.

I don't really know enough to agree or disagree with you.

She claims she's in a role to make judgment calls on adding content - and that this was reinforced by her previous stellar performance reviews, which made her confident in her judgment - but I don't personally have enough info to know if that's the truth. She very well could be stretching the truth that maybe every other addition she's made was under the direction of HR or product, in which case she is definitely out of line here - it would take the input of a Googler on her team to know for sure.
If there weren't pieces of software that people were willing to pay a subscription for, then software quality would be horrible. The reason why 1Password is so good is that the developers are paid to work on it, and some business needs (such as having really good quality stuff so you can get recommended to more potential customers, and so that your existing customers don't leave) push you towards higher quality software. When working on OSS for free, the need to survive pushes you to work at a job, and your OSS work is done in your spare time, often to get things you want done, but not to make an amazingly polished and very user-friendly work.

Subscriptions allow developers to keep improving their software. If you just pay for software once and keep using an older version, developers miss out on money that could keep them working and improving things. OSS is great, but money is important for developers to deliver quality and updates.
Yes, really. How about the converse: what if Google used it's ability to control employees' email to send messages on their behalf arguing against unionization?

Part of the right of free speech is correctness of attribution. Trying to speak as someone else, using someone else's communication channels isn't speech, it's fraud.

And I say that as (at least within the spectrum of folks on this site) a full on pinko commie unionizer. If this is the truth of the story, this just wasn't OK, and was a very reasonable firing offense.
I agree. The biggest problem the world is facing is the ability to buy opinion with money. Money buys you propoganda. We need to totally abandon the free market model in the information sphere.
The tinfoil hat interpretation is that rifles are far more effective in both battlefield (full barrel) and urban warfare (carbines) than sidearms, and confiscating them removes the last chance any populace has against its own government. Such that it's in the interest of despotic regimes to do so.

Private ownership of battle rifles (c.f. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq insurgency) are pretty much the only (valid) defense against the "Lol you think you can fight a war against an adversary with drones and nukes?" argument.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepfake:

> Deepfakes (a portmanteau of "deep learning" and "fake"[1]) are media that take a person in an existing image or video and replace them with someone else's likeness using artificial neural networks.

"Likeness" refers to appearance in general, not just the face.
I mean, I know I'd be highly annoyed if I got a "Don't post copyrighted material" popup every time I visited Stack Overflow. It's the law, but it doesn't mean I want an addon nagging me about my legal obligations.

In the same way, I know I have a right to vote, but I definitely felt it was annoying when I had a coworker who would regularly spam us to remind us to vote. It's not necessarily Political, but it's advocacy. I only have so much mental bandwidth - hijacking it to have my read a message of your choosing is cause advocacy whether I agree with it or not.

Advocating a certain level of involvement/mindfulness of specific issues is political - Most of the difference between folks in the same party/ideology is just in if they think about or prioritize certain issues over others. Do you care more about Union Rights or the Environment? International Wars or domestic policing? Pushing people towards one over the other is political even if they already agree with you on the underlying issue.
From what I understand this is actually how google communicates policies and the like via their employees, for which it is legally required to notify such employees via electronic medium if electronic medium is the primary communiation factor. This is based off of the engineer's medium article though.
You must be missing the point of the internet. I don't see a problem here; Only you made graduation year and age the proxy.

Why would the engineer reveal their HS graduation year if they didn't want the world to know it? I considered that they must have had little experience considering their graduation year and the average or even above average experience of those graduating the same year.

So the funny thing is this article is the exact opposite of the two most influential financial books in my life: "The Millionaire Next Door" and "Rich Dad Poor Dad". The true wealthy don't ever think of spending money as if it isn't important. Instead they distinguish between spending on income generation vs spending on luxury. They only spend on luxury intentionally but will spend on income generation freely.

In other words, if someone is frivolously spending their money on luxuries they are very definitely not wealthy. They only want to appear wealthy. The true wealthy really don't look wealthy. They never really leave level 1 on the chart.

Right, it's horrid, and it only works for exactly one checked exception type. So there's no way to define a single `Stream.map` (for example) that takes a function that throws whatever number of checked exceptions and just propagates them.
Unionising is a pretty good means to improve your working conditions though.

I keep thinking that we might see a second "information age" the day we can reliably find something in the large ammount of data we have been piling up recently (is there such a thing as the "data age"?). Neural networks might be the beginning, but if we stop reinventing wheels, we could become a whole lot more productive.

Are there good documents regarding "capitalism" (I guess; constantly reinventing better wheels) vs other systems (reusing already designed wheels, however square), in domains other than financial: what the tradeofs are, how much worse your existing wheel can be before you start to feel it, potential for innovation, etc. Free software might side with the later, but I'd like an analytical exploration.

> Lastly, you might argue that you shouldn’t increase your consumption with your net worth, but I would counter that some lifestyle creep can be highly rewarding in terms of maximizing your leisure time and long-term life satisfaction.

I don't agree with this. I think life satisfaction is a function of what you think you need rather than what you really need. Changing that perspective can create as much contentment with existing resources as increasing consumption. For example - no one misses what they never knew they could have. Very few people come up with a _necessity_ for a private jet from first principles.

A union doesn't give me, personally, any control or direction or checks on executive power. Union leaders have those powers. And it's not obvious to me why the union leaders would be any more aligned with my interests than management is.

That sounds about right. So why doesn't Google fire the reviewers? If they don't, then they are inconsistently applying the standard. If they do, then they are punishing a coordinated employee action.
2-10 grand over 10 years wont even cover inflation. so you're actually poorer.
Let me put it this way: the message I got from the language team is that the problem is certainly acknowledged, and various alternatives to dealing with it are known, but none of them has so far been shown the clearly preferable, "good" choice, so until one presents itself, the decision is to do nothing rather than add/remove features that could later have other negative consequences.

> but at Google that was also the approval standard for deploying such an extension.

If Google allows any team member to freely push changes without formal change request, it has to be implied that changes must comply with the scope of the project, company policies, professional standards, etc.

In any case, my point would stand: It does not sound like she had actual project/management approval.

To play devil's advocate, the 'approval' she got does not absolve her (if we suppose that she did something wrong), it just means that the coworkers who approved the change are also in hot water.
I wouldn't fully agree with this, I'd say income that non-linear to amount time spent it the highest driving factor.

Let's take an example.
I'm going to use Swedish living conditions and salaries as an example as that's where I live but they are close to most European/western countries.
We have a frugal grocery store cashier who makes $2000 USD/month after taxes.
We have a high level executive in a medium-sized company who makes $5000 USD/month after taxes.

The grocery worked lives like a student (student loan/benefits in Sweden is about $1000 USD/mo) and saves the rest on the stock market (assuming average yearly yield with reinvested dividends at 8.5%), efficiently saving $1000USD/month for future non linear income.
The cashier plans to stop working early at 55, at a net worth of about $2 900 000 USD.
This allows for a safe withdrawal rate at about $10 000 USD/month.
At this level travling/vacation expenses isn't a problem for the cashier. Housing probably does but they can most likely live comfortably even if they decide to rent. They can also easily increase monthly spending allowance by 10% if they decide to continue working half time.

At the same time our executive have been burning through every pay-check, and have effectively no net worth at the same age, sure there's plenty enough to lease a nice car, don't care about restaurants bills but more expensive traveling will still be a setback and vacation time per year is certainly limited as income is still linear to time spent.

So in this example we have a cashier ending up as a multi millionear set for life at 55 with no need to work a day more and a high level executive who'd be back at 0 without the job and a strictly linear income.

Sure salary increase does matter, but in the long run underspending matters more.
With a longterm plan it's possible to become a multi millionaire with an entry level job, for instance there's a famous Swedish railroad worker who recently passed away who ended up with somewhere around $17 000 000 USD net worth at the time of his death, and achieved this by living under his expenses with a low salary and investing the rest, he initially turned to the stock market because he couldn't afford a house in his youth. Not Jay-Z levels for sure but well beyond what most people would consider very wealthy.

The rate difference is so large that if you are a good earner that it could very well make sense to go for a much shorter fixed rate term. There are many different products ranging from free floating all the way to 30 years, depending on the age of the borrower 30 years fixed might not even be available to them.

Interestingly this is the same guy who felt like he needed to use his billions to take down Gawker because he didn't like what they said about him. Evidently he doesn't care about ad messages on Facebook though as long as it doesn't impact him. Or maybe he thinks is okay because he can always use his money to protect himself. Long story short the Gawker incident just goes to show that Theil has absolutely no moral high ground here and that his reason for supporting these ads has absolutely nothing to do with "free speech" or any other positive moral trope.

Super curious what would happen if someone started an ad campaign on Facebook about Peter Theil though...
I don't remember software quality being a ton worse before software subscriptions became common. Operating systems and certain development practices (maybe, less certain about that one) have led to some noticeable improvements, but that mostly happened before the shift.
It's funny how it's controversial for FB to not to want to be the Ministry of Truth.

If you don't trust them with your data, why would you trust them with the truth.

Allow all ads and let the people decide for themselves.

But if you're on the side that is providing the fact-checkers, I see how you'd want your propaganda be stamped with an approval and your opponents facts be dismissed with a fake news label.

Censorship is a slippery slope guys...

It can give you the breathing room to actually _do_ something that can change your status and allow you to have a decent shot at "own the means of production", though.

I've probably had hundreds of conversations with people who will say "well, not everyone can afford to move town" or "not everyone can afford to take a week off work" or whatever else.

That's an enormous handicap - you're basically a slave to your current job, and if it tires you out enough that you can't train/learn/do other productive work outside of it, then you're stuck.

Personally I grew up with essentially zero, and pretty much self-enforced level 1 upon myself until this chart would have me at level 4.
