The fact that terrible CEOs obviously exist is what drives up the prices for the ones that are not obviously terrible. It is an extremely high leverage role (see also: Microsoft).

What separates the good CEOs from the poor CEOs isn't something you can readily teach. Some of the best ones have a preternatural ability for the role in the same sense that Lionel Messi has a preternatural ability at his sport, and are equally rare. The majority of CEOs are journeymen with the skills to do the job but not to be great at it. This doesn't mean that average employees are fit to be CEOs; you don't have to look further than startup CEOs, which are pulled from an above average pool of semi-random people, to discredit that notion. It is a highly specialized skill set that is difficult to acquire and most people aren't mentally cut out for what is required to be good at it. The experiment of promoting rando employees to CEO has been tried on occasion across industry with almost universally poor results.

This is true of most professions that command a high wage. Thinking that anyone could be a CEO is like thinking any dev can be Fabrice Bellard. Even if that turned out to be the case in a specific instance, no one should expect it to generalize.
This product shouldn't be needed.
I remember getting downvoted then flagged for making a reasonable argument against a bunch of employees from Tesla unionising.

While its not exactly a vindication, I feel super vindicated right now and I'm not gonna be reasonable this time.

These companies have no way out, they are going to die! All these people will lose their livelihood and worse their options to monetise their skillset/experience will be next to zero. Is this your utopia?!

I've been researching Ford for a while, they have so much debt and an extremely small margin for error for the EV transition. It was gonna be so tight and now their fate is sealed.

I'm not proud of this but a part of me find a bit of joy in what comes next. There is this Thanos side of me that feels like a grave injustice have been done here. These people have no right to have this much power over a company.

You really think a CEO isn't worth 300-400x more than a line worker? Honestly I can't fathom that level of ignorance/cognitive-dissonance.

Replace CEO with any sort of leadership role in any kind of organisation/entity with skin in the game (where outcomes can hurt). Whether if its football coaches, generals, head of state etc.

I know nobody (sane) disputes the difference between a c-suite employee vs a line worker but what I'm talking about is the exponential nature.

These people are barely human. Imagine the stakes, the leverage, the consequences and the sheer amount of context you need. Being in the top percentile of IQ, EQ, competence, industriousness etc are just tablestakes. You need to be ruthless while at the same time have an immense capacity for empathy. You need to be extremely conscientious/industrious while at the same time having a large reservoir of creativity. Its like the infinity stones, you can't just be a galaxy brain or just have the gift of the gab or be a psycopath. You need it all and more while competing against people just like you for rarified roles.

To top it off, all of this just gets you into the ring, you also need to actually win and win consistently over period of time. Usually this requires sacrificing your entire life. Btw this where the barely human part comes in, these people thrive on this. All these CEOs have enough money to retire on a beautiful ranch or oceanfront mansion, instead they work 70 hour weeks.

And you think these people are somewhat similar to the guy who screws in car parts? You think society should value these people in somewhat the same realm? like a linear nature (50% or 300% more).

This kind of thinking is what leads to the end of civilisations. These people should be revered. We should be grateful.

I still can't accept there are people in the world who think its somewhat similar. This is not an IQ thing, its not even a being well read thing.. This is common sense.
We all have met people in our lives where we go "oh there are level to this game", like freaks of nature.

How can you not think its the same for you know, leading a multi billion dollar public corporation with hundreds of thousands of employees.. Its mind boggling. How can people no see the asymmetry!
Because, and hear me out here, those companies /pay$/ Wally for that opportunity, that end cap, that big glowing sign…

> as much as the company can afford.

This is pretty much it. Everyone wants to avoid hiring a bad CEO so it’s a bidding war for executives with track records at large companies.

And when you’re making billions a year the CEO compensation is a drop in the bucket.

Both parties love to spend public money. Remember that the COVID-related spending had a very high level of support from both sides. Same goes for the current administration with its "Inflation Reduction Act" (lol, talk about misnomers).

Also, not all of the borrowed money were spent by the Trump administration. When he left the office, TGA had 1.6T dollars.
Maybe. It could well just be the market and luck, but it could be the CEOs decision. On the other hand, it's never because the line workers just started working harder. Think about being an early engineer at Amazon vs the same at another startup that never went anywhere. Those engineers did the same amount of work, but the difference is that Jeff Bezos was telling the Amazon engineers what to build. BTW I'm not making an argument that workers shouldn't share in the gains, just that people at the top are much more likely to be responsible for them.
Between the failures of Kodak and RIM/Blackberry, and with hindsight being able to see how those falls could have been avoided, I've come to see the job in new light.

Bush and Trump tax cuts aren't a substantial cause of the rising debt. Over the last few years revenues are UP in spite of the tax cuts, but so are deficits. Why? Because spending rose even faster. Over the next 30 years we are going to add 116 trillion to our current debt, and it will all be because of Social Security, Medicare, and their associated interest costs. Really! The rest of the budget is balanced: https://manhattan.institute/article/behind-cbos-100-trillion.... Neither political party wants to acknowledge this because these programs are popular, and Democrats (despite the rhetoric) aren't interested in repealing ~95% of the Trump tax cuts. Neither party is fiscally responsible.
Then it's good for fiction. Lots of demand for fiction.
Tailscale is a company that provides a VPN (“Virtual Private Network”) service. If you don’t find yourself thinking “man, I really wish this one computer over here could share the same network with that computer over there, despite not being on the same WiFi access point or physical Ethernet network”, then their service (and the news regarding it) aren’t for you.

Why would someone want a VPN? There are a bunch, but here are some examples:

1) You want to connect to one of your machines at home while you’re at a coffee shop, or on vacation. Maybe so you can check security cameras, I dunno.

2) You’re on vacation outside of your home country, and you would like to watch a video stream that is blocked in the country you’re vacationing in. I experienced this in the Bahamas — If I recall, I was wanting to watch a UFC fight, but the UFC app refused to stream to the Bahamas (it was this and/or other Disney/Hulu whatever services refusing to play in the Bahamas). By routing traffic through your ISP back home: problem solved. (This what “exit node” is referring to — a computer through which internet traffic flows on your behalf)

3) You want to play a game with a friend that only supports multiplayer play on the same network, but your friend isn’t physically there with you in the same house. So just put the two of you on the same virtual network and now you can play together.

Yes, I believe that is exactly the point: the invocation of econ 101 as explaining away all the iniquities of life as "simply how the world works" is simply a veneer of objectivity over what is just cronyism and imbalances of power and oppirtunity.

I have bad news for you. Those workers who demand 40% wage increases and 32 hour work weeks will be "easily replaced" by auto factories in the South who have right to work laws.
Oh yeah no, I’m with you. It’s perplexing. But I’ve got to trust there’s an explanation.
This is the important number that gives meaning to the national debt number.

It's similar to income versus debt for an individual, the more income you have the more debt you can service. At about a third over GDP it's a bit high, but not disastrous.

And no this 33 trillion will never be 'paid back', instead GDP will grow and make the number insignificant (also inflation), a few decades down the road.
Bad argument. I could just as easily say "remove everyone except the ICs and see how things work out."
Some of that is false, but not all of it. And some of it is misleading.

For example, women usually get more custody, but that’s also because men often don’t seek custody. Men who seek custody are awarded it at similar rates as women, IIRC.

It’s also not true that men are “lucky” to get 50% of the assets. That’s the default position in community property states.

And it still doesn’t explain how women are incentivized to divorce, given that despite some of the things above, women still fare worse in divorce than men do. Child support and alimony are, on average, something like softens the blow for the lower-earning spouse, not a path to a higher standard of living than was enjoyed in the marriage.

FWIW, I’m divorced and pay child support and the lion’s share of kid expenses, including school tuition. And yet I wouldn’t trade my financial position for my ex’s. This is true for almost every divorced man I know, and I know a lot at this point.

I’ve installed this on a freshly updated AppleTV 4K with Ethernet and for the life of me I can’t get it to work using the Apple TV as an exit node. I’ve enabled it and approved it in the console.

Unfortunately I can’t ping any hosts through it or make any connections. This is in contrast to my other exit node, which is a docker container running tailscaled with user networking. It continues to work just fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
> I've talked about this before, but the US debt feels to me mostly like an accounting mechanism.

That's because that is precisely what it is. Here's the ledger[0].

> What I mean is that the US government is mostly in debt to itself, in money it can print.

The debt is already purchased. The government is in debt to securities holders. Several government agencies have purchased these instruments, but they only represent about 25% of the total holdings.

> Anyway, I really don't understand if and why the US National Debt matters that much (I'm not saying it doesn't, I just don't get it)

When there's a large differential, it means some part of your government accounting is not balanced. There can be good reasons for this, but given the size, continual growth, and no apparent strategy it remains concerning.

That's news to me. I previously heard flax seed and walnuts were the only good vegeterian sources of omega 3.

A quick search agrees that greens, like spinach, broccoli and cabbage, do contain small quantities of omega 3. I'm having trouble getting a clear idea here of how helpful they are in comparison to the standard recommendation of fish oil.

Anyone have any good sources of info on how to get enough omega three from vegetarian sources?
>It's the Japan scenario

Google has sharply deranked this type of webpage. I used to run a similar kind of thing and I went from #2-3 to #100 something. (Which means that most of the time it won't come up at all anymore.) The results are absolutely packed with wikias, blogspam, and ebay type stuff. I really miss the old web. This type of content is great.

I obviously have no idea how Google works but I do wonder if it's because they don't index like they use to, so rich content can't be evaluated as such. For example, HN comment pages are typically in the "index", in that you can get them to turn up in a search, but you'll find that +"exact quote from comment" will return 0 results. It's as if Google doesn't care much what the page is actually about.
Many beginners do start at python.org. However, if you don't know anything about programming, and you don't know someone who can answer all the little questions that come up, it's really hard to learn from documentation alone. Even the official Python tutorial is fairly inaccessible to many people who are trying learn a language for the first time.

Almost every Python author I've spoken with recognizes that no one resource works best for everyone. We each write to offer our particular take on a subject, and hope to find an audience that our perspective resonates with. I've never steered people away from documentation; in fact one of my goals is to steer people to the sections of documentation that they're ready to make sense of. One of my end goals is that people no longer need me as a teacher. That was my goal as a classroom teacher, and it's one of my goals as an author.

The idea that there are no mistakes in official documentation is pretty unrealistic. Technical documentation has certainly improved over the last decade or so, but it will never be perfect. Most of us recognize that some areas of programming are better handled by third party libraries. In a similar way, there will always be room for learning resources that are maintained outside of official documentation sources.

Genuine question: Does tail scale want people using headscale?

I'm a free-tier personal user, and a little too cheap to give a for-profit corp money when I don't need to just because "I REALLY like the product". If I use headscale does that just cause a headache for the team, or is it good because it reduces traffic to prod?

I'm to cheap to pay when I don't need to, but its such a great product (esp for free) that I'd gladly change how I use the product to be less expensive or problematic.

> There is no indication anywhere that supply and demand is wrong about the job market.

If supply and demand worked as theorized in the labor market then there would necessarily be a loss of employment when the minimum wage is raised, but that is not always the case [1].

Some studies find effects and some don't, which is a good indication that the labor market is more complicated than Econ 101 principles.

It’s the worst of all possible outcomes. Minimum wage stagnated and employees demanded better pay. Covid hit and forced fast food restaurants to adjust operations. Prices increased due to “inflation”, but really it’s just massive corporate profits. Front-of-house employees have been replaced by kiosks and self-service.

For the first time in many years, I had Steak N Shake. Had to order from a kiosk, get my own drink, and pick up my own food (it had previously been a full-service restaurant). That by itself wasn’t a big deal, but the kiosk had the nerve to ask for a tip! We didn’t all the work, so no thanks.

So the 30% raise is for fewer workers, and the costs (and work) will be passed on to the customers.
>The people who decide where money gets allocated are allocating most of it to themselves

The difference is that the people who decide to pay the CEO so much are the ones who made the money (the company owners), it's their money to spend how they see fit. In the government it's not people spending their own money, they're spending other people's money that they obtained through the threat of jail for those who don't pay it.

I always see people show this equation and it never made sense to me.

No one is saying the CEO is taking money the employees would have otherwise earned. When you divide it out like that of course its a pittance per employee.

The statement is about the relative scale of the CEO pay to one employee. I don't care about the difference applied to all employees.

An absurd parody I always imagine: John is 7ft tall. His group of 6 other other friends are only 6ft tall. Wow John is really tall! Nah, if you distribute his tallness between his friends they would only gain 2 inches! That has nothing to do with John being 12inches taller than any one of them.
