Just be aware that if you invested via a convertible note, that the QSBS holding period may not start until that note converted into stock - particularly if the note had any debt-like features like interest payments.
The point is that it's for people that are living hand to mouth. They're not saving a cent, living constantly on the brink. For them it makes a huge difference to get paid a few days earlier.

But this is also why even free payday loans seem to me like a very bad long term idea - if you are living that close to the edge, how will you ever be able to get out of debt?
> As an African that's an easy answer. They stole it.

As another African, your logic and morality are a disgrace.
They earn 4x more because the world is not truly flat, and there are artificial/natural barriers which hamper competition such as; movement of humans, scarcity of taxi medallions along with fixed pricing, input costs of a taxi ride (cost of living, gasoline + subsidies/taxes), labor laws etc.
Compensation is a function of how difficult it is to find/replace a worker, not their productivity.
That's definitely very interesting. I do wonder if malloc and free would take longer if there would multiple threads in the program, which is more relevant to this discussion; surely exp would not, assuming sufficient free cores. Even more interesting would be if you malloced in one thread and freed in another, given that allocators usually make use of thread-local pools.
my experience is exactly like this, but wayyyyy slower

You estimate wrong.

Top 1 percent of earners (with incomes over $540,009) pay over 40 percent of all income taxes.
I realize this story is probably made up but I know one area where the pattern seems to ring true.

If you have three developers working for your company, all equally contributing effort but:

1. One lives in US, one from Eastern Europe, one in India.

I think we might find, more often than not, we don't divide the cookies equally among those developers and one of them quite greedily eats more than their fair share over and over.

We do a lot of things in life that we attribute to being "deserved" but none more flagrantly unequal than the seemingly arbitrary income disparity of country of residence.
> To have GC where it makes sense and doesn't add too much overhead but allowing non-GC objects that require a bit more care and where you know you need to free memory yourself or using some basic smart_ptr-style tracking object?

D is designed exactly like that. In fact, using value types and smart pointers (using `typecons`) is kind of required if you want to keep GC pauses tolerable. On the flipside, a simple GC means no additional overheads like write barriers or remembered sets. Additionally, a borrow checker for D has also been in development (I have not personally checked it out to comment on it though).
My wife is Chinese and she was taught in the 80s that the reason the UK is richer than China was that 100 earlier before we stole their best stuff.

Yes these thefts did happen, our big trading companies were basically organised piracy and extortion. There is an argument that we're still benefiting from investments in infrastructure and social development back then.

That's not why anyone in London today earns more for similar work than people in China or Africa though. You can't apply that argument to say Japan, South Korea or Taiwan for example, or to China today. 20 years ago the Chinese taxi driver would have earned 1/10th of the London taxi driver. Now it's 1/4. Britain burning down the Summer Palace in the 1860s is just not a factor in the reasons for why it used to be 1/10th in 2000 or is now 1/4.
> instead of executing a simple memcpy (or equivalent), move constructors for every element need to be called.

But does that actually result in different machine code? If the compiler ends up concluding that you want to move all this contiguous data and by the as-if rule it does memmove() then the fact that notionally a bunch of other C++ code ran doesn't matter.

I agree it's theoretically cleaner to be able to just say "You can move these, it's fine" about a type and know that optimisation falls out automatically, but the end result machine code may be identical.
I mean sure, but most of the time Comp Sci degrees have Freshman compiling code on day one. This is a pretty be qualitative difference if the above comment is true.

At that level there is no such thing as 'qualified candidates' like in a generic job where you just fill your positions.

There is no justification needed (in the traditional sense), but there was one anyway: board set a goal, Tim had to meet that goal, and then they'd give him the money.

Say Apple made a couple hundred billions under Tim Cook's leadership and the way was paved for more of that in the coming years (keep in mind that there is no day-to-day, this really is many-year-planning; you practically have to predict the future to some extent), is a fraction of that really such an odd case to pay the person that did that?

Sure, you don't need that much money to live comfortably forever, but this is capitalism, I doubt the value created was needed either. But the board and Tim agreed and met their goal and thus the transaction was completed.
Certainly thousands of people could achieve similar or better, finding one of them just happens to be incredibly difficult and risky.
I don't know if those are the historical reasons, but I'd say the main reason now is that it simplifies book keeping. Just like even the most solvent companies don't pay their purchases right away, you pay on invoice and batch things.
If the ownership of the property is in dispute there is no clear landlord. That’s the gist of having squatters being able to stay in the place for years on end battling a court case. Otherwise the judiciary in France is behaving inexplicably.
USSR was never efficient. People literally did not care about their jobs. Especially after stalinism ended, many did the absolute minimum. Since everything was state owned it was owned by nobody - so nobody cared about maintenance, workers often stole from their companies, did not show to work because they stood in queues..

They had sayings like: "doesnt matter if you lie or stand,you will get 3 thousand at the end" (what meant that there were no rewards for those who worked harder).

There could have been some islands of efficiency (perhaps in closed cities where workers could get accused of being spies if they didnt try hard enough) but for generic workers efficiency did not matter.

And I dont even write about inefficiencies of central planned system itself, where rewards did not come from market forces + falsified statistics on top, so nobody even knew the truth.

Even the communists knew that their system is inefficient, which you can see in many places. For example in "aquarium" novel by Suvorov one of the spies talks how they run out of meat and bread, but the system got so inefficient that it run out of people to murder.

USSR didnt work people harder. Political prisoners yes, but the normal people were incredibly ineffective. Even films made during communism laughed at that.
Introducing the new CEO of Apple, Carly Fiorna!
While it would be difficult to replace someone like Tim Cook, this should not serve as an excuse to treat people as disposable. This attitude of disposability, which is exactly what your comment about replacing 160k employees implies, brings to mind barbaric labour practices of the past.
It’s shares and Apple’s market cap is 2.44 Trillion. Effectively shareholders paid 0.03cents on the dollar for Tim Cook. In exchange they get a steady ship that slowly and surely increases in value.

Why quibble about such a small amount? You’ve paid 0.03% of your current Apple holdings for a decade of growth creating value many orders of magnitude greater.
So many companies have flatlined after a new CEO took over, think Microsoft after Ballmer took over. So I think there is some difficulty involve.
During his tenure the market cap has increased by about $2 trillion. How much of that value has Cook captured? A very small %. Perhaps even smaller than his actual contribution! You could easily make the argument that Cook is being exploited by the shareholders.
They save on storage costs, I guess.
FWIW, I had the same reaction. The post title does literally nothing to describe the actual project, only some tangentially related circumstances under which the thing was developed.

The changes were mostly cosmetic, see https://immobilier.lefigaro.fr/article/pourquoi-expulser-un-... (in French).

In particular, the fact that the authorities must reply in 48h was shown as a progress. The problem is that if they do not reply, it is equivalent to a denial of right (your request to evict the squatters has been automatically rejected)
Thank you so much, these are great advices!
The weirdness to me is judging whether the ideas expressed across this thread are altruistic or just garden variety envy. Maybe the answer is “both/and” depending on one’s perspective.
That may be true, but that doesn't negate the question I was asking. At most companies I've worked at, most of the technical/developer types had OS X or Linux computers, and the people with Windows boxes tended to be people using them more for administrative tasks with Outlook/Excel.

I know I have plenty of small problems with my Linux desktop, same as I have with my old Windows desktops, but I generally know how to fix/learn to fix those without going to a support line. That would be true even if you gave me a Windows computer.

Essentially, if you gave the people filing all the Windows support tickets a Linux machine instead, would that fix the problem? Or is it that those people are more likely to need support help AND also happen to prefer/need Windows.
In your opinion, can a bit better CEO (not outrageously better, just somewhat better than the other guy/gal with a bit brighter long-term strategy and a bit different focus for the subordinate top managers) personally make a 1% total difference in company growth across ten years?

If you don't accept that, then I'll just have to disagree based on how I've seen companies are managed, IMHO personalities matter at least that much. But if you do accept that, then that obviously means that a single human being can create value at that scale, as 1% impact on Apple's growth over 10 years would be something like $20 billion. Being in positions with extremely high leverage means that your decisions have extremely high impact on value. Of course, there are also opposite examples of CEOs who have personally destroyed billions of value through their decisions.
I see what you did here...

> Britain came out of WW2 deeply fcuk'd. We'd lost the Empire, owed the US a crapton in loans, and then were economically smothered under a nationalisation programme that wiped out UK manufacturing competitiveness.

.. and on all those metrics China came out much worse (the civil war, no marshall plan, proxy war with the US, communism), as well as not having the massive advantage of having been an industrial power long before the war.

This article dates the takeoff to 1978 (Deng), which seems reasonable: https://www.stlouisfed.org/publications/regional-economist/a...

Perhaps the question should be "at what date in the future do we expect the cost of a taxi in London and one in Beijing to equalize"?

Do you feel that your productivity as a trained professional is the same as anybody else's productivity?

The trick would be to allow workers to capture all of their productivity rather than have a large amount of it syphoned off by owners.
Nobody said "You'll get $750M". They said "You'll get 5M shares" (apparently worth around $75M at the time). His leadership turned those 5M shares into $750M dollars.
The second sentence here is such an odd one to include in the article:

"Benyamin Ahmed is keeping his earnings in the form of Ethereum - the crypto-currency in which they were sold.

This means they could go up or down in value and there is no back-up from the authorities if the digital wallet in which he is holding them is hacked or compromised."

I think parent's point is: why do we think it is ok to treat some people this way and not others?
When will the people understand, that if you force the equality, it'll result in mediocrity?

USSR has learned this lesson the hard way, so it is sad to see how many well-off Americans a rushing head first into it voluntarily?

Trust me, you won't like the results. You have a 200square meters house? Nobody needs that many space, and also there are so many homeless in Los Angeles. You take two rooms 24square meters each, and the rest of the house would be distributed among the needy.

Do you like this perspective? This was the first thing done when Bolsheviks came to power in Russia, I'm not kidding. All in the name of equality.
I've seen things like this before. Sometimes it's with positions that require you to be "on call" for after work issues then having a second job could interfere with that. Other times I've seen it are with positions dealing with programming. If you have a side gig or second job there could be code leakage between the two or they could be in competition.

If it's concerning I would ask them about it. Find out the reason for the it being there. Another possibility is that there could be one contract that covers both management or principles of the company and normal employees. That language could be there primarily to apply to a managers or principles and not to just average employees.

Asking them about it can determine why it's in the contract and would open the door to the discussion of how you don't feel it applies to the position you're working. This can allow you to edit it out of the contract and see if they agree.

Contracts are not one sided dictations they are a negotiation between two parties of the conditions they've mutually agreed to. I would never work for a company that wanted me to sign an employee contract that did not allow me to make amendments to that contract.
> If yes, then it's pure greed. If no, then it's too much.

I think these numbers are set by compensation committees of the Board of Directors using consultants that analyze other private and public company data. So if you have some small number of greedy individuals pushing for massive compensation based on stock performance, then that trickles through the industry. Cook doesn’t have to be greedy to just not want to be underpaid relative to market, even when the market is set by a few greedy individuals.

It is a race to the top. Solvable via regulation if anyone really cared, but I suspect no one really does.

exactly my thoughts on this
Likely hundreds of thousands of people. The burden of proof ought to be on him/his proponents. From the rather scant publicly available material, I've never heard the man say anything profound, original, nor any other sign of exceptional competence. That's not bad in and of itself, not everyone has to be a controversial thinker, especially not a CEO of an established company that's minting gold every day. But we have no evidence that his level of ability is somehow beyond the reach of mere mortals.

Yes, Apple has ballooned in valuation. The question is how much of this is attributable to Tim Cook, how much to other Apple employees, how much to external factors (e.g. tech bubble) and how much of it is just sheer inertia.
Is there any reason to think they will start strictly enforcing it? One ruling confirm an already existing law doesn't seem like a watershed moment to me until we see it changing the way companies are prosecuted for their behavior.
It definitely is the reason why. Part of what sets compensation in London is the cost of real estate, and those prices have their origins in the stolen wealth.
And doesn't need to boot off of SD cards.
Book teaser from https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030713997

"A Computational Social Science team at ETH Zürich has indeed worked on a concept and little demonstrator for a new financial system, called “Finance 4.0” or just “FIN4”, which combines blockchain technology with the Internet of Things (“IoT”).

What if communities could reward sustainable actions by issuing their own money (“tokens”)? Would people behave differently, when various externalities became visible and were actionable through cryptographic tokens? Could a novel, participatory, multi-dimensional financial system be created? Could it be run by the people for the people and lead to more societal resilience than today’s financial system (which is effectively one-dimensional due to its almost frictionless exchange)? How could one manage such a system in an ethical and democratic way?"
> Anything China ever seems to do is rather smart and reasoned

Not sure if this was meant as sarcasm? China imposes their fair share policies that are shortsighted and eventually self-destructive, the same as almost all groups of people larger than 0.
Money is not gifted to people by God. It is allocated to people by systems that society chooses. The idea of the specific "rightful" ownership of money we have today is not universal throughout history and can change.
It says so in the article too
Wow! Are you saying Musk and a regular employee in Tesla are the same? I am blown away. What do you think Satya Nadella’s role is in Microsoft’s revival after Ballmer?
That would be fraud, though, right? And probably some kind of securities crime into the bargain?
> The high prices are a known gimmick for grabbing headlines. “Useless NFT sells for $100,000” is (or was) a sure-fire way to get your NFT into the headlines. The trick was that you could actually bootstrap these high prices yourself without actually spending the money. If you have $100,000 in ETH sitting around, you didn’t have much to lose by using it to “buy” an NFT from yourself in a transaction with yourself.

Sounds like the problem is how these transactions escape any sales tax, thus these gimmicks and other forms of money laundering simply have zero cost or oversight.
> In that sense, if anything this is a downgrade from regular SQL.

It likely is.

Ideally, instead of dynamically building queries, one would use stored procedures.

I'm using this with SQLite, which doesn't have stored procedures, so it's an acceptable downgrade for me. Appending strings to lists gets messy quickly, example: https://death.andgravity.com/query-builder-why#preventing-co...
Tangent: this reminds me of the _aptly_ named "mod_speling" module.
Chinese workers don't work for Apple. Apple, like any giant manufacturing conglomerate, relies on a complex supply chain of manufacturers who supply them with all the necessary parts and components. These manufacturers are also purchasing from even higher in the supply chain. As a company, Apple buys parts from suppliers, period. None of their business how these suppliers squeeze to deliver these parts at the best prices and quality.

Before Apple arrived at the current position (2000-2010) they were a small player and it wasn't possible to squeeze parts suppliers. Tim Cook gets an enormous payout because he navigated the company towards flipping this relationship, because he is an expert in squeezing the best quality/price for the parts. Getting the iPhone below $1000 is what gets him his $750mil
> History has shown us that as societies get richer / more productive people work less.

For most of history, when a society gets richer, the rich enslave more people and consolidate power, and then ultimately try to be worshiped as gods until the masses push back enough, and then become content with simply having absolute earthly power.

Maybe this trend is over, but given the amount of effort into putting out "God Emperor" memes in the US, my guess is that some people are at least willing to still try at it.

At any rate, I'm not sure a graph from the US starting at 1950 is sufficient for establishing historical trends.
The USSR was an authoritarian hellscape. Most states in history have been that way. I am not convinced that deregulated capitalism is the only way to achieve non-authoritarian rule.

Sure. I pay for YouTube Premium (which I understand gives content creators a comparatively higher rate for my view) and I still have to deal with sponsorships.

This also goes for channels with well over 1M subscribers. I honestly have a hard time believing they're struggling to make a living (but I haven't seen the numbers).

Worst of all, the sponsorships tend to be for some scammy VPN or gacha, even when it comes to creators who otherwise create high-quality content.

Because those workers are not in a position to effect meaningful marginal value creation.

Let’s say you paid that $750m in bonuses to those factory workers, what value was created for shareholders? Zero, because Apple doesn’t have a capacity problem producing iPhones…

Who knows how much value Tim Cook created vs some other CEO (he may have destroyed value), we’ll never know, but I think the philosophy is to align incentives between shareholders and the people that are in positions to drive value.
