>He was awarded 61,000 shares that would vest over 10 years, worth $211,933,520, when he became CEO.

How did they get $211,933,520? 61,000 shares multiplied by the price at the time (eyeballing the chart, the 2021 price looks to be around $160) gets you $9,760,000.
Unless the Fed blinks.
Right, but the money lost was USD deposits.

Madoff was magic beans, he just invented $50bn of money that he said he made for investors. SBF was depositing customer money into his hedge fund directly (FTX didn't even have a bank account).

So this is a relatively big fraud because it was USD value multiple billions, likely near $10bn. This was money stolen directly from customers. The $1bn that SBF took directly out of the company into his personal bank account (which shortly thereafter went into the bank account of the DNC) was a small part of the fraud.
No one is going to take the AI to court. Just like no one is going to sue the Ctrl+V keys on a keyboard. They're going to sue users of Copilot and or human producers of it.

If you're expecting a large fraction of your employee base to resign in protest, you definitely have to be concerned about the possibility of sabotage. Disabling access is one way to constrain sabotage until the dust settles.

Of course, it is not clear to me that this will be the last upheaval, so have fun defining "dust settles"
I use cloudron on as part of my self hosted stack. During the process of standing it up I also had to stand up Google DNS. My domain registar is also Google. but anyways, I had to set up a service account and keys to allow cloudron to make DNS changes. So if it can do it, I imagine it just depends on your DNS / nameservers and their API and features.
I think Amazon is being honest and the rest of the industry will also being doing future lay offs.

I don't understand how everyone can do this at the same time and it's not connected and planned.
Amazon has a bunch of internal openings and hiring waivers -- for the profit centers. I think most of the layoffs will be belt tightening. Including my entire org.

You can but, say, on HN, I believe most people have generated their wealth by providing a services for others.

I do not think rich people are necessarily virtuous. I do think that there is virtue in a wealthy person that does not spend their wealth on personal consumption.
My understanding was the Twitter financing was $27B cash from Musk, ~$5B from his pals, and $13B in bank loans. There was something like $500m in Twitter shares owned by a Saudi prince that were transferred to Musk as part of buying in, I think.

Where are you seeing $44B of Saudi money?
I remember complaints about Zuckerberg's announcement too, but they were more about the tone of the announcement than the fact that people were being laid off. His email suggested that some people weren't pulling their weight and needed to pick it up or resign. Even if that were the case that's a management or business culture problem and shaming people isn't the proper way to solve it.
I'm not sure I'd personally get behind Elon Musk as a leader, but people respond to vision and are willing to put in work and ensure hardship, to be part of a compelling vision. Not everybody is just going to work to collect their pay cheques.
It would definitely be possible to reduce the height of tasks when they don't much text. Something we'll consider for the next version.

> I’m surprised the debtors assumed control of the company that quickly though.

”Debtors” are people that owe money (i.e., here, the FTX family of corps).

This is not a case where the creditors (the people to whom money is owed) are in possession (or even yet identified), though that can happen in bankruptcy.
I'm not sure if you're saying this as an argument for standardisation (ha, let's debate the spelling) or not, but these people will always find something, from frameworks to linting rules - the amount of discussion stays the same no matter how much is agreed
You'd be surprised the amount of people that will "stick at it" and work through abuse at work.

I'd imagine we'll over 10% stay at the company no matter what Elon does. I've seen much worse thrown at employees.

I don't think it matters what generates the page. Wordpress/etc could generate plain html pages and the author's points would apply equally.

Personally, I prefer html with a little embedded css. It works, it's quick, it's all in one place, and it lets me produce suitably elegant pages.
BLM mention seems to undercut any valid point you were making about financialization. Seems like a total non-sequitur (paired with a dog whistle).
I believe the conditions were that existing employees would receive cash at the time each batch of shares would have vested.
I downvoted because of this:

He generated practically all of Amazon's earnings over the past 15 years . When amazon retail was burning cash, AWS was generating high margins keeping the company alive.

Andy Jasy is under-compensated IMO. He should be getting half of Bezos' shares.
Andy Jassey will make a lot of money as CEO of Amazon, but you're taking a long term stock comp vesting plan based on performance based incentives and comparing it to the annual salary of a workforce skewed by hourly paid warehouse workers.

Andy Jassey's salary is $175,000

Why would Tumut 3 be trying to be full in a scenario where the energy is needed? They'd run their turbines and sell energy. The downstream dams dispatch their dispatchable energy and you leave enough water in the middle two that the maximum can be pumped back upstream. The extra dispatchable energy is an upside. It's like having a battery that can't be charged past 70% but fills itself the rest of the way.

So yeah, bad faith. And now you've had it pointed out twice it's just lying.
I am slightly baffled by this comment since my first impression of him was exactly "sleazy vibes". Not in the flashy Ferrari sense but because the look seemed to try so hard to be the opposite of flash - the nasty stretched out t-shirts, shorts and forever bed-head hair. It struck me as a contrived and something of a put on. Google "John Blutarsky Animal House." SBF appears to have patterned his look after Jon Belushi's character in that movie. I think you have to make an effort to look like that so consistently, especially when there are cameras around.

He's not spending it, but he invested it. So the money is still growing.

Virtuous would be to just give the money away to those he loved or needed that money (I'm not saying he should do that, I'm just following your logic).

As things go, he will have lived his last years like a poor man, and his family will inherit his money. He will have suffered for nothing, because he doesn't have enough money to make the rest of his family rich, just enough that he wouldn't need to suffer not having anything now.

Onyx BOOX fits this description.

Its bookreader, Neoreader, is quite good.

The devices themselves are Android tablets, with an e-ink display. You can install and use any other Android ebook software, including among those, Koboreader, PocketBook, and FBReader.

My preference among those is actually Onyx's reader, at least on their own devices.
> How does he get compensated?

Thr bankruptcy court lets the bankrupt entity spend money (woth supervision) on tasks essential to what it needs to do in bankruptcy, including paying employees needed for that worm.
It would be stupid for any valuable employee to illegally commit sabotage when their own resignation is legal sabotage.
"I'm also tired of the mentality that we need advertising of the internet would cease to exist."

IMO, it's not a mentality, it is just propaganda. When "tech" companies are advertising-supported intermediaries conducting internet surveillance, then they are in a position to control the flow of ideas across the wire. There is no limit on the number of self-interested, bad arguments that Silicon Valley can inject onto the internet as attempts to influence the www using public and protect its "business".

> We do not feed petroleum to cows.

Yeah, we do. Cow feed is grown with petrolium-based fertilizer. Eating a cow that ate plants will always consume more fertilizer and therefore petrolium than just eating the plants directly, because the cow is less than 100% efficient.

I have seen a lot of complaining sand saying that the Linux kit is too expensive. Even the stuff that is actually Linux kit (System76, maybe Tux). I'd be glad to be wrong, but I'd be surprised.

I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it: the smartest thing Apple ever did was keeping you from running OSX on Windows computers. Nobody buys a commodity PC, slaps OSX on it, and expects it to work as well or better than Windows. Yet this is how many do Linux.
SV businesses used to show off their innovation, intelligence, and eternal optimism. They used to think different and change the world with revolutionary ideas, including in employment.

Now they show off their aggressiveness, power, ego, and disdain for all else - the world, employees, human beings. Now they invest in real estate and cryptocurrency, and flex by laying off employees and working them harder. What innovators.

They've become dinosaurs. Who are the next innovators? Who has optimism, vision, and drive?

The policy that you quoted states that quite literally, I don't understand your question. Even if you only consider pre-orders up to when the shipping has merely started, there are still some left to fulfill. The policy has been changed since and now mentions "when your pre-order is reached in the shipping queue", which is more favorable to customers and AFAIK that's how all requests are being handled now. You have stated yourself that "people after [you] in the queue have received refunds", which wouldn't be possible when sticking to the old policy. There must be something going on with your particular request and it isn't going to be resolved by a software developer writing comments on Hacker News.
Sanjay already had a somewhat similar approach in managing the scheduling of concurrent RPCs, i.e., RPCs are enqueued, and a scheduler looks at the RPCs and figure out windowed batching order to optimize for the overall execution time (here the concurrent RPCs are interdependent).

A. The economy is not zero sum. Lebron James making lots of money doesn't take anything away from you.

B. Median: the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, a population, or a probability distribution. It's not an average, there are no outliers dragging the median up. It's just an ordered listing and then looking at the one in the middle and seeing how much they make per year. If you removed all the billionaires and their income from the chart it wouldn't change the median income at all because the position of the median would only move 350 places. If you took away the top ten percent the median position would shift to the left 5% and the median annual income decreases a few thousand dollars per year. But in no way is the typical American living in poverty and desperation. (Turns out that only 11% of the US live in poverty.)
Appearance and shelf life. That's how an apple attracts a buyer on a store shelf.

Once you've bought grocery in a store, you're not going to return it if it's so-so but not outright dangerously rotten. And your choice of large stores nearby is limited, so you're not going to stop going to that store.

CA Baseline requirements say certificate revocation must be within 24h so a daily process may miss; a manual process on-demand or every 12hours would comply.

I suspect it's more about competitiveness though. Manual processes are expensive and slow, which likely will push customers to choose other CAs. I don't think there is a market for manually operated certificates. I believe this for two reasons:

1. Because any CA can issue a certificate, you are exposed to the risk of some other CA getting hacked regardless of how secure the CA you choose is. (Although CT and CAA may mitigate this).

2. Air-gapping is neither necessary nor sufficient to be secure. Not sufficient because even an air-gapped system needs controls against insider threats, tampering of data before it gets transfered across the air-gap, attacks that breach the air-gap [1] etc. Not necessary because well run systems can be reasonably secure even without an air-gap.

...compared to LZ4, not exactly honest here, LZ4 on average have worse compression than GZIP, it's just faster.

So 21 million a year. Levels.fyi has an SDE III at 355k a year [0] and a level above that at 538k which is usually what most pure IC managers are at. That's a 57% comp for moving up one level moving. 21,000,000/350,000 = 60x. If they have say 8 managers between IC and CEO, thats 60^(1/9) = 57.6% comp growth per level.

Doesn't seem so ridiculous of a compensation if you want to keep the carrot above the stick at each level of the management chain.

One issue I was thinking of was companies that distribute code in binary form only, not ASTs or anything which could be used to steal their thoughts. The other issue was in reverse, however: A binary-only package is unmaintained and lists as dependencies hashes that no longer exist because they're the hashed versions of ASTs that, for one reason or another, the compiler won't generate, even if the source still exists. Versioning and archiving would help this case, at least.
