In case that explanation was still too technical (it was accurate though, good job zem), consider it this way:

You win the lottery. You choose to have the money earned over your lifetime, instead of a lump sum. However, after a few years, the state reneggs on the original offer, and gives you the lump sum, dramatically less than what you had contractually signed for. It's that simple. You're offered x, with the understanding x matures (like a government bond). The potential worth of x is immutable, but Zynga turned around and offered x/2.

Download HP Laptop Driver to Make your Laptop Work Well
How about checking out the HP Laptop Driver before stepping out in order to get your laptop work well? Doesn’t it sound a little reasonable? Well, the best part is if the trouble is really with the driver, you’ll have got it cured without spending uselessly over getting it checked at the service station.

There are junky fast-food döners and there are good döners.
That reminds me of a local family-run bakery I frequent. They work long days, six days a week as well, and the head pâtissier there has been doing this for practically his entire life.

So plenty of chefs are entrepreneurs too. Including Charlie Ayers, who has his own restaurant.
Right, and the problem is that everyone wants to be a captain of industry, but no one wants to clean the toilets. So they promise wealth to someone who cleans their particularly promising toilets, but they don't really believe in the worth of that job, otherwise, they'd probably be doing it themselves (I think most programmers would sooner learn a new sector of information technology than give themselves a position as a cook on the side). It becomes "I don't want to do y, I'm much too busy with important x" ----> "Eureka, pay someone for necessary evil y" -------> "Wow, look at all this money, hey wait, my company is selling x, not y!" The fallacy is revealed when it's simplified.
Thy're shooting themselves in the foot: I know I will never go work for Zynga without the base being high enough that I can value options or RSU's received at 0. And neither would I consider joining another startup started by these people in the future without similarly pricing the value of any equity at 0.

They're driving up their cost of hiring.
Is morning "early in the morning" or "after getting up"?
Well, to be honest, I'm torn between my disgust at these scumbags and my lack of pity for people who were working at Zynga. I mean, the place never tried to hide the fact that they were a bunch of scumbags as far as I know. If you know their whole business depends on customers not understanding it, why wouldn't you expect them to treat you the same? They've already shown a clear contempt for people who aren't them. Do you honestly think they see you differently?

That's a commonly raised issue, largely addressed by looking at actual pirate activity. Piracy is a high-risk endeavor which is only undertaken when you have: a lot of potential victims, with very high value cargo who don't have the incentive to defend it heavily, and easy home bases.

That's why basically all piracy in the world happens around Somalia and around the Philippines. Cargo ships pass with lots of valuable cargo which is insured, and crews that that aren't going to lay down their lives to protect containers. Only very recently has piracy gotten bad enough that shipping companies have begun placing any sort of defense or deterrents on their ships. In Somalia the pirates returned to a mostly lawless state, and in south-east asia the hundreds of islands serve as good hiding places.

There aren't any pirates off the western coast of the United States, and none of the factors describe above are in place. Even if seasteads starting containing stuff that's actually very valuable, as you mention, resident would be more motivated to protect it, nor will pirates have anywhere convenient to run to.

So, are physical attacks a threat that should be considered and protected against? Yes. Is a seastead in that location with that purpose at risk of an attack by anyone but someone with some sort of ideological point? Not for a while.
IMO the more important question is: does Zynga need anybody worth their salt anymore?

I suspect the answer is no. The really hard scalability problems have been solved. There's not a creative bone in that company's body. The psychological tropes that they play with to reach that nirvana of inescapable treadmilling and spending is already determined - and given all the Zynga games I've seen, past and present, they don't seem very intent on changing the formula.

Not only that, social gaming of Zynga's variety is on the decline. There was a time when everybody and their grandma was playing FarmVille, but the world is quickly catching onto their addictive-but-empty nature. Not only that, but Facebook is moving in and slamming the door shut on the feed-spam that these games practically need to survive. I would not be surprised if these games' usage numbers have already peaked and are on the decline. Profitability is destined to follow player sentiment.

All in all, IMO Zynga's best days have come and gone. The world has its infatuation with that formula, and like the Tamagotchi and everything else that came before it, will tire of it soon enough. The only thing remaining now is for the execs to secure as much stock as they can and take it public, and let the general population ride the stock on its way down. They only need employees insofar as to keep the lights on and look alive - certainly nothing that calls for the tippy top talent.

> I cannot understand why people like Krugman and most of the other economists don't bring up this point when raising issues like "it would all have been fine if the Greeks had stick to using their own currency".

I believe this is simply a case of omitting the obvious. The people who most emphasize the importance of a sovereign currency do point out the importance of not taking on debt that is denominated in a foreign currency.

It's just that if you write all the little caveats and conditions in there all the time, the end result becomes unreadable.
Politilines shows what candidates talk about during debates
That's an overly simplistic view of what is going on. A modest (<15%) rate of inflation that is driven by wage increases is actually a Good Thing for the majority of the population, because their real standard of living depends much more on the real value of income than it does on savings. And don't forget the role that debt and nominally fixed contracts for rent or mortgage play, either. If real incomes rise during an inflationary period, the majority of the population will be better off afterwards. This is not an unrealistic scenario, by the way. It happened several time throughout the 20th century.

It's just that most people confuse inflation with hyperinflation - the latter is not so much "inflation writ large"; instead it is an outright rejection of the old money system, which is a huge qualitative difference.

Unfortunately there's no universally accepted pre-defined list of occupations which are common knowledge to enough people to make that happen.
Within the Eurozone, a large part of the problem is the relative development of wages. Obviously wages are higher in, say, Germany than in Greece. However, the rate of change of the quotient of wages divided by productivity has been higher in the southern nations relative to Germany and other northern nations.

In fact, in the particular case of Germany, the quotient has decreased, i.e. German employees have been screwed by their own political and business elite. The result is that German exports are cheaper than they should be, which creates trade and therefore balance of payments imbalances.
Extortion usually involves the use of illegal force, which I don't see here. I agree it's shady and possibly something that will get them in legal hot water.

I've made a test to get numbers 0..99 from C stdlib random which gives 16-bit numbers and has a period of 2 to 32 and that was enough to actually see bias if enough numbers (but much less than a period) are generated.

They may or may not come out of it on top, but China's government does have some pretty solid technocrats running the numbers when they do these sorts of things. One guess is that they're worried that without the lower-end workers getting somewhat more money, there will be unrest that the government will have to do something about, for example by subsidizing housing if a typical worker in the area can't afford housing on the minimum-wage salary. If that were the case, this would be basically a way of internalizing the externality--- baking the social-unrest-reduction fee into the wages, rather than using taxes (on the same companies) to spend out of a separate pot for welfare.
British Lawyer killed by economic mental stress
I think what the UK has is a reasonably compromise - workers can be sacked for pretty much any reason within the first year, after that the employer has to go through a staged process. However, if the role no longer exists, rather than the employee underperforming, you can be made redundant at any point.

It feels overpriced, but they're competing with daylight lamps, and those are in the 100 - 300 euro range, with most being around 200 euro (I'm currently looking for one, suggestions welcome!). So in that context, they're priced at market-rate.

The way I look at it, it isn't about employment so at will is largely irrelevant save the 'but we could have' arguments which I don't think fly here.

Instead it is about compensation for said employment. If lawyers get involved, I bet this is where it will go. Also understand the last thing Zynga should want is for lawyers to get involved in this for two reasons:

1) It's distracting to management and

2) From what the WSJ says about it, this sort of thing hasn't gone much before the courts so there is a lot of uncertainty as to what the law allows and Zynga could lose big.

If the affected employees are smart they will use these factors to their advantages and get lawyers involved right now, forcing Zynga to back off or fight.
I am a skinny guy so my problem is not keeping weight off but rather putting weight on. When I am deep into my work I put off eating and end up skipping meals.

My co-founders and I have started going to the gym for an hour or so every night which is a great break from work. Before it got cold and I started going to the gym I would sneak out for a 30min run every other day, a lot of great ideas come to me while running.
As a foreigner outside of the US, I like this idea. There are many of us who are already strong earners but don't have anywhere near the million dollars required for an entrepreneur visa. In other words we probably can afford to sustain a nice ship. Getting a visa to visit the US is pretty easy, and staying on the US mainland and attending meetings, conferences, etc. are practical. We're just not allowed to work there.

Another reason if I was an employer I'd have lawyers involved right now:

No company wants to be going into an IPO with SEC paperwork that says "we are being sued by our employees over compensation." There is very little doubt in my mind Zynga would back off rather than fight.

Exactly, thats the best way to see it and makes the "Give back our stock" more ridiculous: employees get les money in cash because they decided to invest some part of their salaries in the company shares, so, if the company go to IPO and they get rich they are not geting rich because of how much value they provide to the company, they get rich because they could recognize a great company in the early days and invest on it.

What annoyed me is not the suggestion that the chef is in someway less entitled to the money than other employees, or that he didn't work as hard.

It is that it is just factually wrong. How many great people joined Google when it was an up and coming start up who loved the emerging culture and the idea of having a great chef.
I don't unfortunately. The discussion I read was so long ago that it was probably on Slashdot :) Having said that, I found a few sites with 'DMCA policies' (eg. http://www.azlyrics.com/copyright.html ). Looking at how they discuss perjury, as well as just reading that line that you quoted nothing mentions that you are claiming the infringement under perjury, just that you are allowed to represent the product that is allegedly being infringed.

>> And if the exception can be expected to trigger with sufficient frequency

But if this is the case, it can be said that the exception handler code should be a part of a normal code flow - it's generally wrong to use exception mechanism when it is expected that the code will be executed regularly. Basically, in that case it is not an "exception", but standard branch of execution.

>> you need to factor in the cost of what you're actually DOING inside of the exception handler

Again, the same issue. Exception is not supposed to be triggered that often so this cost will be significant.
