> His total remuneration package was worth $98.7m in 2021, compared with $14.8m a year earlier. Cook’s pay was 1,447 times that of the average Apple employee, according to a filing disclosed in January.

So what's the argument here, that he should be paid less, or that the average employee should be paid more? One would expect the CEO _always_ get paid more than the average employee, a large difference does not mean inequity. For example, if you are the CEO of a supermarket, where employees are paid just above minimum wage on average, the CEO would likely be getting _much_ more.

> In January, it briefly became the first company to be valued at $3tn, it became the first $1tn company in 2018.

> Last year, Cook took home $3m in salary, and received $82.3m in stock awards, $12m for hitting targets, and another $1.4m for air travel, retirement plan contributions, insurance premiums and other contributions.

Sounds like excellent value for money. The stock awards mean the better the job he does, the better his payout. They also come with strings attached (as Elon Musk learned when trying to cash-out). They also have other strings, for example with John Schnatter, who I believe was forced to sell off a majority share in the company he built [1]:

> In addition to preventing him from accessing information, the corporation also implemented a "poison pill" strategy in order to limit Schnatter's chances of buying back a majority stake in the company.

As you say, fusion technology inherently has less need for strict regulation. Less harmful waste. Less runaway reaction. Less arms proliferation.

This potentially creates room for fusion that never existed for fission:

- innovation and entrepreneurial pressure. Best case, we get SpaceX efficiency fusion innovators versus SLS pork barrel subsidy patients.

- insurability. Fusion energy production might become privately insurable.

- political support. If the political buyin required is mainly limited to capex, that's a very big advantage versus fission.

As for short to medium term political motivation, one might hope fusion energy research is to benefit from the tension between Russian and western leadership.
What I know from personal experience and learned a bit through knowledge osmosis (my better half studied ecotrophology/nutrition) is that many people underestimate how the body adapts to a "new normal" of caloric intake when this is well below basal metabolic rate/consumption.

On the other hand, the body also likes to get essential amino acids, if it does not get them from food, from the body's own muscle mass. This leads to a reduction of the own muscles and to a low basal metabolic rate.

I cannot judge whether one of the reasons is true, that would be the job of a good (!) nutritionist. Unfortunately, at least in Germany, the term is not protected and anyone, regardless of education, knowledge or experience may call himself so. Here there are really (especially on social networks) really many false claims.
So I agree with you in broad strokes but I want to nit-pick some meanings here.

>It still seems extremely unlikely, however we lack a good sense of not only the frequency of such events (presumably quite low), but also the total number which have occurred over evolutionary history.

I think we have plentiful evidence for horizontal gene transfer, especially in bacteria (see "F-plasmids"). More relevant is all the endogenous retroviral sequences buried in our own DNA, all of which are effectively horizontal gene transfer between viruses and our ancestors. We know quite a bit about these random chunks of DNA so I am hesitant to call HGT either nascent or unlikely. Between seeing all the viral DNA and knowing roughly how fast mutations erase it, we can probably get a good estimate of how frequently it occurs.

But, I totally agree that this is all very unlikely. At least, HGT events are rare on human timescales. But they do seem to be somewhat common on evolutionary timescales! Sometimes I wish I could see our biosphere in 1000 years time. It would be a radically weird place.

I have no apetite at all after biking for two hours. However, if I drink any diet soda or piece of candy with sweetener, I will be ravenously hungry in 10 minutes. Has always been like this so I stay away from that stuff.

My exercise is a game called Turf. Mostly played in Sweden where there are a lot of zones close by. I bike quite relaxed for 1-4 minuts and stand still for 20 seconds in the zone, then repeat until next zone. It's a bit harder during winter with all the snow though. I have done nothing to my diet and lost about 20 kilo the last year. The GPS says I traveled about 3500 km the last year at my slow pace.
Can't they get to the science part without dramatising the scientist. It's a long slog with tidbits thrown here and there.

We WERE energy independent.

The current administration cut production soon after taking power. The previous administration had expanded domestic oil production resulting in the energy independence of 2020 mentioned in the article.

Why they are talking about 2020-2021 energy independence as though it applies to the current situation, I do not understand. I expect that there is some truth to the sentiments expressed by other commenters that this article is, in fact, tendentious in its aims.

Oracle has a generous free tier for OCI instances/VMs, and includes a public IP. You can use that as an ssh bastion/jumphost.

Or if don’t want to do business with Oracle, you can find VPS/VM providers who offer tiny instances for $10-12/yr or less. You don’t need much ram for a bastion. 128M ram would do the trick, and even 64M (you’d have to use a stripped down image/distro though).

There are even providers who offer instances for even less $ and only give you an ipv6 range + NAT IPv4 address with a small port range. This would also work perfectly fine as a bastion.

To be honest isn't that the case at almost every web-focused startup (i.e. almost all tech startups)? We like to tell ourselves we're like NASA rocket scientists but almost all tech challenges the typical software engineers faces (even at places like google/amazon/facebook/etc) are mundane and not require PhD level understanding of computer science.

Yep. I believe, the key in Microsoft success was Bill Gates realizing a simple truth:

- Users of office software are not those who decide to buy it, that's their manager who are.

From the very beginning, Microsoft product had all boxes checked, were very easy to install and to do trivial things with them. Being convenient to do some real work? Very low on priority list.
I've worked with a few different legal tech firms over the past few years and in my experience the exact opposite is true. Most lawyers (that I've seen) have embraced automation. Lawyers don't want to increase billable hours on bullshit, they want to bill more than 2 or 3 hours per day. If using some customized software or a properly setup Clio+Zapier lets them bill an extra hour or two a day, that's a win. Automation increases billable hours.

There are plenty people who are skinny and who don't exercise and are not healthy. Exercise helps you get more healthy, it's not all about how thin you are. Walking/running is great exercise and great for you in terms of your overall health even if they doesn't help you lose weight directly. It does help your mental health.

I've used this in other languages and I don't like it. It's the wrong approach to solving the problem. As soon as I want to embed some multi-line string in my code then I'd be better of just having it in it's own file.

.NET does allow you embed files directly into your project and read in those files but it's a lot of confusing boilerplate.

If .NET provided a really easy way to take a file from the project and create a compile-time string from it then I think that would be significantly more useful than this proposal.

> Cook’s pay was 1,447 times that of the average Apple employee, according to a filing disclosed in January.

Numbers like that are so silly to me.

Only 1 person can be CEO, let alone CEO of a multi-trillion dollar company.

How many other employees at Apple (the ones we're comparing how minuscule their pay compared to the CEO) can run the company as well as he has? Vision, implementation, everything.

If they can't do the job, don't talk about how unfair it is that he gets paid 1,447x more than them.

Obviously I'm being hyperbolic to set somebody up for some kind of "you're missing the point" rage response. I do genuinely look forward to learning what I'm missing here.

I am absolutely convinced of that,””

wouldn't efficiency correlate to effort? pretty sure the "effort" is the feeling of burning calories. If an elite athlete can run for an hour and burn 2000 calories in that time, they will beat a less elite athlete who can run for 1900 calories in an hour, all else equal. Put them on bicycles or a rower and they'll be able to burn the exact same number of calories (assuming sufficient training in the target exercise medium) because the limiting factor is their body's ability to process oxygen, not the exact form factor of the exercise.
Yeah, the whole reason I got into this was to monitor my garage door and now I'm considering just going back to a wire and an LED. I can just hook up a RPi or ESP32 to the wire if I want to send myself text messages.

I had a pancreatic tumor a couple of years ago that messed with my insulin levels (made me hypoglycemic). That gave me a much deeper appreciation for the struggle those with diabetes face. I had a CGM and had to watch to make sure my blood-sugar didn’t plummet. The “solution” in those cases was to eat; I only really had to worry about it one-way, as my body was over-producing insulin.
Yeah, I'm confused about this as well. Two years ago, this claim saying "we're now independent" would make sense, but now it almost feels like we could say the reverse; we've become less independent (less production, more demand) - situations like the current Ukraine problem could cause more trouble, not less
That's a good point. Humans are natural runners and hikers and it stands to reason that it is very efficient compared to saw something like working in a warehouse all day moving around heaving inventory or back in the old days when people would burn thousands of extra calories a day with say being a lumberjack or coal miner.
It would be easier to evaluate if you said something more specific about what these troubling things are?

This is a nice crash course / intro to the basics that you can play with at your own pace and with your own throwaway repos: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart

With that out of the way, if your bosses want to fire you a week after you've consistently and proactively been trying to learn workflows that are new to you in your new job, you'd actually be dodging a bullet.

> I hate that I am always asking people for help

You only need to do this for "tribal" knowledge, for which you should have (or start) an internal wiki. For the rest, you kinda have to plumb the depths of the public internet...

> like today I asked for help to rebase my branch since I have never done it before

Yeah, I still remember my first rebase very well, thinking I would just lose everything if it went wrong. I tried a bunch of things on a throwaway repo to figure out what exactly happens, which turned out to be very helpful. I particularly enjoyed this talk once I'd found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ffBJ4sVUb4

> At my old job I was the guy that got things done, gathering requirements, designing and developing new features <...> did anyone else ever feel this way and if so how did you over come, did anyone get fired because they are incompetent?

That is still your skill set, and not knowing something does not make you incompetent; though not wanting to learn new workflows and tribal knowledge does.

I have always had pride in being a newbie to a new team - I get to learn another set of ways someone has thought about working through problems, and more often than not - my new team benefits from the fresh perspective I bring to the table when I start asking questions on why something is the way it is, and to mull over whether there could be a better way to do it before you get crusty. Win-win.

See if anyone on the new team is willing to volunteer to mentor you. That looks nice on yearly reviews for both of you as well. Cheers!
