The government isn't capable of doing the work it wants to do and so "good enough" doesn't apply.

You can claim that the government was wrong in its pursuit of this case but that doesn't suddenly mean Congress has no work to do.

At minimum codifying what makes it inappropriate for the government to take the action it attempted would be valuable.

Congress is supposed to clarify if the Executive and Judicial do not agree on the meaning of their laws.

Thus "objectively wrong" isn't about which side is right, it is that agreement doesn't exist.

You could claim there was an unimportant misunderstanding after the first but after so many it is obvious there is a disconnect.
I can see benefits tied to wildfire R0 (in infectivity terms). A few fire resistant plants might play a role in decelerating the rate of wildfire spread and limit scope of damage.
Damn, Audiogalaxy! That takes me back! A simple Windows client for downloading (and well uploading), and to search and download you go to their website, login and add stuff to your queue (although I barely remember what the website looked like). Sooner or later someone with the files you want would come online and your computer would begin downloading from their computer..

Well so is the Hyprland community, yet we seem to be discussing the merits of deciding for them how they limit speech. We don't want them to do it how they see fit as you put it, because their criteria are not to our liking.

I personally find the politicization of everything off putting and won't contribute to projects that do it. I'd call the constant push to shoehorn gender identity into every crevice of our lives toxic and I'd say it drives me and other people away. But that's OK right, because they don't want people like me contributing, that's the point, and maybe I have a right to not want people like them contributing in my projects also, maybe I don't want to be inclusive towards people that aren't inclusive towards me.
But isn't compensation proportional to the cost of replacing someone?

I can imagine a bunch of roles that are more costly to replace than "someone with accountability".
And that's easy to test. Remove everyone except the CEO, and see how things work out.
Under that line of thought, wouldn’t taxes also be indentured servitude? Or loans? IMO the key is that the government will need to take a loss on the “loans”.

“With more than $10 trillion of interest costs over the next decade, this compounding fiscal cycle will only continue to do damage to our kids and grandkids.”

Quote from the article. Also from the article:

But the debt is on track to top $50 trillion by the end of the decade...

The taxpayer's dollar is increasingly being spent on things that don't further any policies whether their desired or no. Simply paying off debt that will mount and mount with no end in sight.
I'm not sure what you are trying to argue. US law is not the same thing as international law. Of course US law, including IP standards, will not necessarily be recognized outside the US unless part of a treaty. It's similar to how the US doesn't recognize mainland China's claim over Taiwan.

That said, there are treaties covering IP that both the US and China are a party to which require certain mutual recognition. The US has sued China in the WTO for violating the IP provisions, but has not won most of those cases (AFAIK).

US companies can also sue Chinese companies in China for IP infringement and some of those cases have been won. Chinese courts tend to award much more limited damages than US courts, so US companies don't find this satisfactory. But again, that is a difference of law.
If one forwards traffic through iCloud+ proxy to mask IP address, I wonder if it’s still possible to tell a VPN, from, say, a perfectly legitimate SpaceX satellite signal received on a boat… ;-)
I am well aware that it is uncommon, coming as I do from a family of eleven children; but the world is much more than America, and birth control is a recent invention. I don't see how you can reasonably claim that one person cannot care for such a number of children when mothers of large families have been doing it for millenia.
It’s not a public Tor exit node. It’s a personal node you can use to route your own traffic.
Okay, I can accept that is also an alternative working criteria.
The reason debt matters is because if it gets high enough, it may cost us more to borrow money and could eventually trigger a debt spiral where we're unable to service our existing debt. Currently, our debt to GDP ratio is among the highest in the world [1][2]. At the moment, we're still able to borrow cheaply mainly to the dollar being the reserve currency of the world, and due to the petro dollar program (where oil producing companies sell their oil in dollars), but these things may not last (which is part of the reason why the US is pushing for war with China).

The takeaway from all of this isn't necessarily that we need to cut spending on social programs while maintaining a larger military than the next several nations combined, which is what the deficit hawks referenced in this article want, it's that we should rollback the tax cuts that led the deficits in the first place. We should also be increasing domestic investments that would make us more attractive to outside investors rather than becoming an over-militarized hollowed out shell of a former super-power.

If you treat your domestic economy and workforce like a leveraged buyout target, siphoning every ounce of profit out of it while saddling it with debt, the end result is likely the same as with many leveraged buyouts: collapse.

Shares can and do go up and down quite a bit. I bought heavily into one tech company where the shares went down 90% in a couple months. It was pretty devastating for me.

> You can however use those shares as collateral

Only shares that you own, not have an option to buy. And only a portion of the shares, and if your shares become worth less than the loan, you still owe the money, and they'll come after any other assets you have.

> you might have a great deal of shares in a company, which you never exercise

You're confusing owning shares with having an option to buy shares. They're very different. You'll also owe income tax on the difference between the exercise price and the current price of the shares. (A friend of mine didn't know that, and consequently lost his house.)
"We" certainly did not "always" do that before.
I do not understand people that believe all executive are useless and do nothing.
ask yourself: why do you live where you are?

figure out the benefits vs the drawbacks (such as not finding friends)

i was in this situation, and i decided to move. you don't need to move, but being aware of why you made that choice, makes the downsides easier to bear, and also opens up new ideas how to approach the situation.

after more than 10 years in china, we moved to a small city where i had no friends, and finding friends was difficult. there were other benefits of living there, and so i reconnected with old (and new) friends from back home who, thanks to covid had started online meetings. you could say, i made lemonade out of lemons.

on online meetings, keep searching, there are many more groups out there, and not all of them are like the ones you experienced.

i realize that online meetings are no substitute for meeting face to face, but consider this: when i develop a good relationship with someone in person, (even just a good vibe after a single meeting) then this carries over into an online connection. so if you can't find local friends, find friends online that have a chance to meet face to face at least once in a while. (this should also help with avoiding those weird groups you seem to have found)

for example that hackerspace may be to far away for a regular visit, but maybe it is possible to visit once every few months? check if they have an online community. join that, get to know people online, then meet them in person once, and then continue to stay in touch online.

i am actually not big on online meetings myself. from the sound of it, you probably aren't either. but if you are selective, it's better than nothing.
Maybe if a company gets so big that finding people to manage it becomes disproportionately expensive, it's time to break it up.
> why the US National Debt matters that much

You just answered your own question.

> in money it can print.

US National Debt is effectively a number indicating how much money the US (is going to) print.

Being the strongest country in the world doesn't mean you can print an arbitrary amount of money. Well you technically can, but everyone (US citizens included) pays the price. And other countries won't play along forever if it means they're going to pay more than what they got from a USD-centric international trading system.
I have setup Pis in family member homes to allow me to get residential IP VPN exit node in their respective countries - cheap and easy way to get access to foreign TV streaming services without a monthly fee. I used to run my own exit nodes in AWS/DigitalOcean in those regions, but virtually all streaming services block VPS/cloud service IPs at this point. Having an exit node in an actual "real" residential internet service is vastly more flexible.

This potentially would be even easier for me, given they all have Apple TVs already. This isn't a public exit node - it's only available to other users (i.e. people you know and have granted access to) of your own TailScale setup.

Same for non-techy folks who have second homes in foreign countries, or even just travel a lot - an Apple TV running this new app back in their main property will allow them for free to browse the web as if they are actually at their main property, including any TV services they enjoy.

I don't think cheaper medicine that is likely poison is much of a bargain at all, but what do I know? IP law would seem to me to have more to do with the cost than the heavy hand of regulation.
The coin has other issues regarding the creditworthiness of the US and inflation risk.

Having some level of debt seems to be good, but at this point, servicing the debt is a significant fraction of the US federal budget, so it's getting a bit out of hand.
Defending the excessive remuneration for C-suite inhabitants by saying they're never off work falls flat when you realise there are many other professions where this is the case. Whether this be a veterinarian who gets called out at night, a farmer who stays up all night because one of his cows is about to give birth, a mechanic on board a fishing boat with the responsibility for keeping the thing running or any of the other professions where responsibility is combined with unpredictable and/or uncontrollable event timing.

"Yes, but the C-suite is responsible for $zillions"...

Are they personally responsible? If they fail in their job do they get to reimburse the investors for money they lost? Hardly, they tend to get a golden handshake and move on to another company whereas that vet, the farmer or the mechanic tend to be punished for failure in some way - by loosing their accreditation, livestock or livelihood.

C-suite remuneration has far outgrown its justification.

> Comparing C-Suite compensation, pay scale, growth rate and disparity from line workers is disingenuous at best. They cannot be compared, nor should they.

Why should they not be compared? Why should it not be discussed whether an hour of a systems engineer's life is worth far less than an hour of a CFO's life? What great sacrifice does the CFO make which the farmer does not to explain the disparity in remuneration? An hour in a life is an hour in a life no matter your profession, you won't get it back when it is gone.
Same here. Assuming this is the case for fish oil capsules, even though you don't really taste the supplement itself?

The A-10 would be shot out of the sky at impressive rates with today's proliferation of MANPADs, the same way the ukrainians are shooting down russion KA-52s in ukraine whenever they get too close to the line of contact. The F-35 could require 100x more maintenance than the A-10 but it will accomplish the mission and come home afterwards. The A-10 is useful for shooting someone who can't shoot missiles back at your planes.

Why would it?
And the author is a sysadmin at a university, and universities are pretty much the last vestige of that traditional Unix login model of accessing shared services. From some other articles he's written, it sounds like his environment has been very conservatively updated over the years.
The point isn’t to compare CEO and factory worker salaries dollar for dollar. The point is to compare growth rates of both over years. If the company grows 3x, CEO salary grows 10x, and worker salary grows not at all, how does that make sense to you?
Fair. To each their own. I didn't make an account to use <redacted>, and the convenience of putting in my order before I walk over there means it's ready when I get there so I have more time to enjoy eating it at the park nearby.
This is so obviously the right answer, I can’t believe its not upvoted more. To be clear, I stand with the union on the principal of their argument. However, the principals of economics itself, much like gravity, do not care about the nobility of your cause.

It seems to me that what the union is asking for is that the corporation act more like a benevolent force than one that is restricted by market pressures. Of course, you could use the power of government as one poster mentioned to force this issue, but those violent delights have violent ends.
> Supply and demand does not account for the power imbalance between workers and leadership, which unions specifically attempt to address.

You’re both right. Power dynamics and supply and demand are interrelated.

Most forms of human organization involve hierarchy. Even co-ops have a CEO and that CEO makes a multiple of base worker pay.

What that multiple is and how it gets decided is a fair question: in co-ops, voting rights are built-in, but for private corporations you need collective bargaining
I’m assuming auto workers don’t make 400k a year already.
It's zero of the bonus, of which the CEO had assigned a prior that made him choose that job over other offers he likely had.

Performance based bonuses exist at virtually all levels of skill in companies. What you see as a catalyst for fraud could also be framed as a catalyst for incentivizing an outcome most likely achieved via hard/smart work.

$1.5M is not nothing, but it's less than 1% of the CEOs potential compensation.
Ok. I admit I was wrong then.

I doubt an autopilot would have regained control in a flat spin without an ejection to drastically change the dynamics of the aircraft. I also made the point later that a sufficiently capable AI that could would essentially be able to replace the pilot, rending them moot.

Look, the OP clarified that he meant he wanted an autopilot that tries to lawn dart the plane in an incident of ejection, the purpose of which was to save sensitive technology from the enemy. I still maintain that is silly and if we funded such a program it would be a waste of money.
Get real, this is the UK, in fact if you follow the progression of some of the key players, they are now manipulating politicians.

So once politicians learn to give the bird to the media headlights, you might start to see this country cleaned up, ironically I think Russell Brand can probably do more to clean up the media and their witch hunts than any member of the Royal Family or Govt.

Personally I think £600k is an insult!

Your graph shows 38% held by the US gov & fed.

And those are old pre-pandemic numbers. The amount the Fed holds has gone up a lot (aka quantitative easing). So the number is even closer to half now.
If AES is cracked by the NSA then they know that there is a fault. They must therefore assume that others could know about it and might exploit that fault, either now or in the future. A massive amount of American infrastructure, including intelligence services, relies upon AES not having such holes. They wouldn't sit on such information.

You do know that Fed will give the interest collected to Uncle Sam directly. The main downside is debt is a built-in timebomb to destroy economy when condition is "ripe". Now seems to be so for USA, weak military (defeated by Talebans, Russian shovels destroyed EVERY single American high-tech including rumored downing 2 F35s in Syria), dedollarisation due speed-up by alternatives Brics and cryptos, high-unemployment and recession, lack innovations and unable to manufacture goods (China at least able to build 7nm,nowhere in USA land able to build such), superb incompetent leaderships in centuries for USA.

True, although if you're getting above $1M/year as a CEO, it's not because "the job is really hard." In fact, the bigger the company, the more layers of management to keep you from any real work.

Instead, the board has approved that compensation based on very real business needs: growing the company, acquiring competitors, changing business models, etc. It's actually hard to find a leader who has experience doing that thing and is also the right fit. Hiring the wrong CEO is a quick way to kill the whole company. On the flip side, to the board, a CEO that can drive meaningful growth is worth the risk, even if they have to fire with a golden parachute two years later.

I'm not trying to justify pay disparity (in fact I think there should be minimum AND maximum FT salaries when currently there are neither), but that's what's going through the board's mind when they set CEO compensation.

I abandoned the Google TV thingy because it was great when it was new a year or so ago, but now after all the updates it frequently stutters when playing media from Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, etc. Apple TV is silky smooth and works perfectly.

I mean, to be fair, no executive is managing thousands of people. Maybe leading thousands of people, but there's a real physical limit to how many people you can directly manage.
