Not to say the discrepancy is justified, but a few points:

1) Globalization has led to larger companies. The larger the company, the higher the pay you'd expect for the CEO (value of each decision is greater).

2) Technology has allowed margins to improve via cheaper cost to scale... economies of scale etc.

3) As another commenter noted, the impact of a CEO is relatively more than in the past, due to advancing technology. More social media presence, more effective means of communication across the company and so on, meaning their decisions are able to effect change more quickly.

4) Globalization has led to reduced wages at the bottom. Unskilled labor is paid less than ever due to that work being outsourced to China, Mexico etc. Some of the change may be more of a story of effective wages falling for the lowest worker.

5) Public CEOs are compensated mostly in stock, and interest rates continue to get lower and lower. Government has been much more aggressive with stimulus than in the past. This has juiced stock valuations.

I'd be interested in seeing how the gap has changed in "like-for-like" businesses. e.g. a 10 person construction company in 1989 vs today.
N Acetyl Cysteine is a supplement that work wonders for respiratory infections, and against acetaminophen poisoning

Magnesium Glycinate is a supplement that works wonders for falling asleep - and likewise for melatonin

And that's just top of my head. I'm quite certain some doctors would like to ban supplements, but I think it may be due more to their desires to remove competition from the market
Good points except for the gratuitous insult.
That is not entirely true, of course. Not if you don’t want to pay. As proof - just look at Amazon, they can’t (that’s why they forked it).
Glad to see someone post this. The album is great and quite an inspirational listen.
Quoting the comment you're replying to:

> If OpenSearch is truely open then in theory you can find another provider

Those are the key words. With an open source solution someone else can offer a turn-key solution that benefits from economies of scale.
Everything on AWS is accessible via API, which means you can easily automate the migration process. So do that?

Obviously the more complex a system is the harder it will be to migrate, but that has nothing to do with Amazon trying to "lock you in" and everything to do with it just being a complex system that there is no industry standard solution for.
I am paying in the area of 40-45% in the UK. I talked with someone from the US about this and they said they pay similar in the US. I checked for New York and got 37% which is quite in the ballpark. Is it much different in other states?
It's one of those things where you're optimizing over terrain you think is flat but isn't.

The political terrain means that BRT will fail. Any road will have to be shared. However, if road space is not threatened, certain political enemies won't be enemies.

So sometimes worse is better because you can assure some people that your solution is Pareto-optimal for them.
"...in light of the very strong influence of money on policy and politics right now..."

This is an example of what I'm talking about. The reason the money is influential is because some people are naive and listen to the advertising/campaigning, which often misrepresents facts or only tells one side.

"There should be few limits on that..."

I'm not discussing limits, other than a basic citizenship test which all non-birthright citizens already take. The majority of this should be handled in schools. There's really no reason not to have the test.

"They are more than capable of sharing their life stories, policy preferences, needs, and other things same as anyone else."

Not if they are being manipulated because they don't understand the system or investigate claims. Then you end up with policies built off of lies and misrepresentation.

If you want an example, look at the PA ballot question from a few years ago about retirement age for judges. They manipulated people by rewording the question. The integrity of the system and the strength of the country is dependent upon knowledge citizens in a democracy. To make this clearer to you, here's another example. Why is consensual sex with a minor a crime? It's because the minor is consider to be incapable of comprehending the totality of the situation and giving informed consent. The same can be true of electing people. How can you give your informed consent for a person to represent you on issues if you don't even understand the basics of it? This undermines the general public's right to be governed by a fair and effective system.
It's common, but only possible in a very dominant position or with competitors that are borderline colluding.
I think that would be great. If the artists are being paid enough to support them* and their craft, and they're being paid enough to help motivate others to become artists, then they shouldn't get any more money. That money would be better spent elsewhere.

* "support them" would also include leaving them with enough money to retire on after their career, if they live in a country where retirement savings are important to have, or otherwise are a strong motivating factor for those who are considering this as a career.
As someone who has followed the case closely, I have no problem saying I believe Giuffre. She's hardly the only Epstein victim and there's plenty of photo evidence backing up many of her other claims.
Probably decreased quite a bit. CEOs are more beholden to shareholders than ever. They aren't even appointed from within: typically shareholders will just hire some mercenary from outside to do the job for a few years, perhaps even solely to absorb public flak and draw blame from the wider company, before being tossed aside for another disposable mercenary CEO.
I liked the take from the Mayor of Miami (from a podcast about cryptocurrency):

"they [governments] will have to borrow money like everybody else borrows money, they can't just print their own money. They have to borrow money at an interest rate. And if governments don't behave fiscally then they are going to have to borrow at worse and worse rates. They can't just invent their own interest rates and currency, which manipulates how markets work...

We in the city of miami, we're forced to balance our budget, we actually have a surplus, about $150 million in surplus and we have some of the lowest tax rates in the history of the city."
> stability or utility of knowing that your children will most likely have a better future than you did

Depends on how you qualify "better". By the listed measures, this is still the case. By available land/population this is clearly not. Do we have any reason to believe our children will not have better healthcare, nutrition, access to information, etc than we do?

If we don't, then what justification is there for agitation?

From the post:

"False accusations -- real or imaginary, against me or against others -- especially anger me. I knew Minsky only distantly, but seeing him unjustly accused made me spring to his defense. I would have done it for anyone. Police brutality makes me angry, but when the cops lie about their victims afterwards, that false accusation is the ultimate outrage for me."

> can and probably are optimizing the loop away

Why do you think that, and how would it do that and still do the calculation? My timing tests showed that Go didn't optimize the loop away (if I counted to 10 billion it took about 10 times as long), and godbolt.org also shows the loop in Go's assembly output: https://www.godbolt.org/z/d38xfGYr6
> i.e you get 100 options every quarter, you sell 50 of them to get the money to exercise the other 50.

And lose the opportunity at longer-term gains for the ability to afford the short-term cost. They're really not equivalent at all. I know they're billed that way, but there are very real reasons startups forgo IPO for so long and remain on the options track in the meantime. Startups can offer stocks and often choose not to.
Chromebooks have this!

Some seriously forward thinking shit.
IMHO the most important thing that a framework can have is complete documentation and SLOW, deliberate release cycles, while this sounds like it's the opposite on both counts. Anyone can make a framework, the real value is in the documentation and release cycle.

That said, I got the exact same impression from his paraphrased statements. His paraphrases did seem revealing, like he had approached this with a bad and demanding attitude, and it went about as well as you'd expect. So, maybe room for improvement on all sides lol
> Whatever your stance on cryptocurrencies are, what is of little dispute is the business opportunities they have created. Binance and Coinbase are large, successful companies. Poloniex was sold for ~400M.

This is the broken window fallacy writ large. The small value cryptocurrencies provide over other digital transaction methods is overshadowed by the huge inefficiencies of how transactions are processed via PoW. The fact that there are companies that have made a fortune dealing with all these "broken windows" doesn't change the basic fact that cryptocurrency is probably the least energy efficient way to move money digitally.
Apologies for some hastily chosen examples. I think the point still stands if you consider the following companies:

Let's see the situations when you are setting those reminders -

1. In bed, all ready to fall asleep, you get up to get your notebook from your desk to add the reminder to your notebook.

2. Cooking with hands all messy, you wash your hands, dry them, go to your desk to add the reminder to your notebook.

3. Driving at 40mph, so you pull over in a parking lot, take out your notebook from your bag and add the reminder.

No; everyone knows that goods and services, including those supplied by government, come at an economic cost.

This slur of outright idiocy via economic illiteracy is fiction, and applying slurs to people from a specific region on the basis of their economic circumstances is bigotry 101, so the personal admonishment above is hardly surprising.

Its meaningless, if someone puts over 100k on a bank account where inflation eats it away they probably dont care about interest rates and its just a fraction of someone holdings that is deposited at super low risk/high availability.
This only makes sense if you have way more and the rest is actually invested and grows.
Storing you whole savings like that is rather stupid regardless of if you reach the limit and pay interest rates or not. and putting it as banknotes in a safe is similar stupid potentially even more stupid because there is real chance you physically lose it all.
The compensation is a function of supply and demand. A CEO is hard to replace and their experience is vital to the company's performance. Corporate drones are easy to replace with minimal training, so it's the lowest bidder market.

There used to be a cycle. Companies would grow huge, eventually becoming overbureaucratized inefficient behemoths where personal competence is replaced by carefully designed corporate manuals. And in the next economic turn they would crash, opening the market to the next wave of lean founder-driven companies.

We broke this cycle in 2008 with bailouts and we are printing money ever since to keep the party going [0]. So yes, CEOs and shareholders now have considerably bigger leverage than workers. The companies are tactically inefficient (good luck getting a competent person anywhere), but strategically unbeatable due to scaling. Competing with them is practically impossible because offering services below cost is now a widely accepted practice, and if by some magic you managed, they will just buy you off. People who didn't get the foot in the door before 2008 are miserable and walking around with pitchforks looking for the next target. But thanks to what the media does, they only end up stabbing each other over made-up differences.

>Currencies derive their value from government control.

There are countless examples that prove this false. World of Warcraft gold, EVE Online ISK, BTC, Ethereum, Dogecoin, baby food, etc. There are literally jobs in developing countries where farming in game money is a job that pays their bills. Yet we both know that no government is in control of those currencies.

I'm surprised they don't already. They're already used in mainstream economy if you count buying things on amazon or Subway.

Simple reason - constant war mongering isn't something politicians will be supported for because the price for that is going on the people. That is, if politicians have to answer to anyone (thus democracy).

Dictatorships on the other hand don't care about squeezing their own populations to the bone for their war mongering. Well, until the point there is an uprising of course and they are burned down by the angry mob.

Keep in mind bandwidth gets cheaper as AWS gets bigger. If you are some random tiny colo provider, people don't necessarily care to peer with you unless you pay them for the privilege. If you are originating 20% of internet traffic, now people need to peer with you or their customers won't have a great experience.
I don't get the high-speed rail thing
Intel has. Many M1 design choices are fairly typical for desktop x86 chips, but unheard of with ARM.

For example, the M1 has 128 bit wide memory. This has been standard for decades on the desktop(dual channel), but unheard of in cellphones. The M1 also has similar amounts of cache to the new AMD and Intel chips, but thats several times more than the latest snapdragon. Qualcomm also doesn't just design for the latest node. Most of their volume is on cheaper, less dense nodes.

No.

I would not work with him because I find him disgusting. I would not work with anyone who sexualizes the workplace. Infinitely worse when they're arguing in favor of pedophilia.

High ranking Turkish and Iranian politicians are involved, the funds in form of gold were transferred using private jets and laundered through Dubai. The defense of the person who run the gold operations includes Rudy Giuliani. The things are at that level now.

I think they need to look at their own taxes a bit more closely, if I'm honest.

And each tax bracket is a tax on the money made above that (edit: tier), meaning $1 is taxed at 37% if they made $518,402.

> As long as you are still employed by the company that granted you the options

I think that's the key, which makes them fundamentally different. So, in the _very_ narrow scenario in which you happen to join a company that will IPO and that you're there from pre-IPO until post-IPO, yes -- they're nearly the same; you really just benefit from the difference of the strike price and public price. If you've spent time at the company, vested your options, and want to leave for just about any reason, it's nothing at all the same. I posit that a vast majority of startup departures fall under the latter scenario.
> They are using arm cores on TSMC silicon (exactly the same as this)

No the Apple Silicon chips use the arm _instruction set_ but they do not use their core design. Apple designs their core in house, much like Qualcomm does with snapdragon. Both of these companies have an architectural license which allows them to do this.
Huh, I've looked at IPFS and WASM a lot but never really considered them together as a way to distribute apps in a decentralized way. That is a really exciting possibility.
