You are looking at it a different way, but the conclusion should be the same. You are saying there is more demand for specific CEOs because they are the ones who control the industry (this is actually why they "can't be replaced"); yes, of course, they value themselves highly. They already have control of all of the money that can be used for hiring and therefore determine what is desirable even when it is not valuable. This makes the situation that much worse because: 1. Supply and demand can be used to model it and 2. It doesn't do anything helpful to resolve the very real problems that exist.

Demand isn't the same thing as value. When we create an economy where a few people have all of the disposable income then we also create one where the only business interests represented are theirs. We should let value dictate demand, which only happens when we spread the money around.

> 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.

I disagree. The union is simply changing the market pressures that the corporation experiences. There is no benevolence required when you are faced with a strike. You either negotiate acceptable terms, or you have to deal with the consequences.

This isn’t true because of the weighting. If apple doubles in value SPY will be up 8% from that alone. It’s easy to see a scenario where one massive company has an incredible year and every other company returns below the average.
One thing that I thought was interesting: If you're at a restaurant and you tip your server in cash, they get the first touch of that money. It doesn't go into the owner's hands, who is supposed to divide it among the servers (though the owner may not). No, it goes into the server's hands - who is supposed to divide it with others, but may not.

Mind you, I often don't tip in cash, because we get money back on a credit card. But I think that's a reasonable reason to use cash.
The board, elected by the shareholders, sets the compensation of executives.
> We know this role is important. We know that having a bad SRE team (or CEO or platform team) is expensive, it could cost us the 100% of the business. And we don't know how to measure the value a good one provides. Therefore we are willing to spend as much as we can afford to make sure we get a good one.

And who are "we" in this train-of-thought? If it's shareholders, that's where the root of any problem lies. If shareholders are real businessmen and entrepreneurs who built up the company or similar companies, they will have a clue as to what is a good CEO. If the shareholders are real workers who believe in the company they're working for, they will have a clue as to what is a good CEO.

Today, shareholders are no longer real businessmen or real workers, but retirees represented by bureaucratic investors. That's why they have no clue as to what is a good CEO.

I'm surprised unions don't throw their weight around more via equity ownership in the company. Controlling the company directly is really the endgame move, once they control a majority stake, they're literally just negotiating with themselves for their labor contracts.

Even better, if they're managing their pensions via investment houses, why not just build their own investment house and leverage their negotiating position that way?

It's unclear if it's bioavailable from those sources at all. There's two forms ALA and DHA; the first is found from nuts and the second from algae. The fish get it from the algae.

Taxes are much like indentured servitude. We allow the government to do things that we wouldn't allow private entities to do.

Loans for specified amounts are legal, subject to some fairly strict protections (limits on APR, discharging them in bankruptcy, lots of required disclosure). You can't generally write a profit-sharing agreement that way - how would you tell the person how much they're going to have to repay? How would you stop them declaring bankruptcy immediately to get out of it?

In order to pay these bills, they will have to print more money. Those seeking to protect the value of their wealth will pour it into real estate, equities, and other assets.

This is what the hollowing out of the middle class looks like. The asset holding class will absorb the wealth effect of higher valuations, and wage & salary workers will see their discretionary income diminished as inflation puts healthcare, housing, and education further out of reach.
Retooling the status quo
How would the US not be able to pay it's debts, which are denominated in dollars. Where exactly do you think dollars come from? You can't print them. I can't print them. China can't print them. So it makes no sense.

Remember, government debt is an asset to the private sector. Money IS debt. The money in your bank account either came from government spending or someone else taking out a loan.

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

It's not that supply and demand is wrong. It's that supply and demand is not the whole story. It is an open question whether workers should change the market forces at play by unionizing and demanding collective bargaining of their wages. This does not subvert supply and demand, it simply alters the pressures the company leadership experiences in the market. I said that the original comment was "wrong" because the comment stated clearly that "wages are only set by supply and demand". This seemed to me to imply that nothing could be done about low worker wages, which is clearly wrong. What workers can do, and apparently in this situation have done, is unionize and strike for better wages.

EDIT: Crap. You're right. Port forwarding worked... So there's that. `ssh -J userfoo@localhost other-place` also worked... I would imagine that's all able to be disabled, but I see that the user is not fundamentally limited to what the shell allows. That's disappointing. I thought it would wrap everything in `custom-shell.sh -c` calls like it does with the sftp and scp servers. I imagine/hope that under a default configuration one is still not able to touch the contents of the server if the shell doesn't permit it, but being able to use it as a proxy or listen on its ports is not what I expected.

ORIG_REPLY:

> Don't forget to disable sftp in your sshd_config

Doing `strace -fp $(pgrep sshd)` then `sftp userfoo@localhost` in another terminal, I see:

$ sftp userfoo@localhost
Connection closed.
Connection closed
$

then in the `strace` output:

[pid 408173] execve("/tmp/custom-shell.sh", ["custom-shell.sh", "-c", "/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server"], 0x55c5f3bae0d0 /* 14 vars */) = 0
[pid 408173] write(1, "/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server: unknown command\n", 42) = 42

As far as I understand, SSH's security of what a user can do is completely based on what the shell permits the user to do.

> are you sure there are no directly/indirectly exploitable bugs/omissions in your script logic for invoking complex commands like git

Including a ssh server in the same executable doesn't save you from such bugs.

> and that your distributed filesystem works quickly across a few million home folders for your authorized_keys files

OpenSSH's sshd seems quite flexible in ways to authenticate users. I don't think having a home folder per user is necessary if you don't want it.

> and hopefully there's no sneaky way that an attacker can push an environment variable to break something like with LD_PRELOAD

SSH's default is to not accept the client's environment, and this shell itself provides no way to manipulate them. They can be nonexistent in the shell's interface if you don't want them.

I put the script so someone can offer some concrete way (as in show me some code) to bypass it in a way that having a custom integrated SSH server would prevent it. I'd love to see a `ssh/sftp userfoo@localhost` call that does something other than call cmd_foo, cmd_bar, or erring out.

It means that the US government pulls more and more of productive output of the economy and puts it into use under its direction. And governments are notoriously bad with effective allocation of resources.

The government (in a non-command economy) can increase its control over productive capability of the economy in 3 ways:

- Raise taxes (including profits from government-run enterprises). Explicit and honest solution. Understandably, disliked by many and hard to pass politically.

- Promise to give more some time in the future. It's fine when tax receipts grow with the same rate or higher as the debt, but usually the government spends irresponsibly, meaning that more and more of its budget goes into servicing its debt. In the end, you get into a debt spiral.

- Make money printer go brrr. It can take different forms, QE and yield curve control are examples of it. Eventually (there are ways to delay it, and they can work for decades), it causes runaway inflation, which seriously corrodes economic fabric.
Wouldn't that mean they need more rather than less?

If only there were some sort of substance that allowed men to access their feelings and made them talkative.
> they would feel similarly outraged.

That's not fair. Charitable interpretation would not ascribe feelings to other posters. Even if it were true, it's irrelevant to the issue I have pointed out.

Let's break it down. Is the "homeless" detail an addition that is specifically due to the Friedman's (or the hosting site's) particular leanings? Is it responsible (staying impartial) to point it out, given the political climate of the area? Is it the slippery slope of an implication that it was "just a homeless man and these things happen to them"? Can Friedman assume that readership with below average intelligence will incorporate the nuance of the tragedy, without the implication?

> I’m sure in that case someone sensitive to that particular detail would ask a similar question to yours

I don't understand why you are sure about this. Good luck with whatever.
>What is vibration, other than movement of tiniest particles?

Imagine a pendulum, moving back and forth. The average movement is zero! Even for different pendulums moving at different speeds. Vibration is a similar case.

Obviously movement is not the most useful way to examine these systems, we want to look at other things too. Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy involved.

>maybe collision is what actually makes the temperature

Kinetic energy is involved in both collisions and vibrations.

>but for some insignificantly small chance, they do have no collisions for a few seconds

We can compare to atomic fission, where the fission is also probabilistic - but the result is very predictable.

> The government isn't capable of doing the work it wants to do

Debatable. Unless you're just referring to the executive branch the government does not have a single goal, and many of the leaders of the government want opposite things.

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

Sure we can agree there. The issue is that there isn't even agreement on whether there's agreement. Kneecapping the government is the meta optimal move for minority parties, they gain nothing from trying to make the government more effective. So even if all the lawmakers secretly agree that congress has work to do, they'll never admit it.

>Funny thing, I own a vast number of stocks through various means, either directly or via ETFs, and yet never in my life have I had an opportunity to weigh in on the salaries of anyone in the companies I hold equity in.

Really? I get shareholder meeting notices for voting on compensation packages all the time. I admit that the chances of me personally shutting down the pay package of AIG's executive team is pretty much nil, but that's also because I personally own pretty much nil in terms of voting stock, and most people like me probably either don't vote at all, or vote with the board recommendations. Still, it's always within my power to try to start a shareholder movement on this front.
You have it backwards. A balanced budget would not be fiscally responsible because money IS debt. If you like economic growth, then a balanced budget will cripple it, which is not fiscally responsible from that perspective.

On the other hand economic growth is causing our climate an ecological crisis. So a deflationary event, done responsibly, should be considered.

> From 1978 to 2021, CEO pay grew by 1,460%, adjusted for inflation, versus just 18.1% for the typical worker.

We should remember that CEO pay is often equity linked, and thus can vary. Not sure if workers want large portions of pay equity linked. I remember I was once in discussion with a hedge fund for a job and they offerred a sliding scale of pay that was cash vs equity. The more equity I opted for, the greater the pay, since of course there was risk involved.

With the complete end of the gold standard in the 1970s, the government/fed's been free to create as much USD as it wants. The benefit of newly created money goes to those who spend it first (it's essentially a wealth transfer from those who get it last to those who get it first), and it's the banking/financial system that generally gets first dibs on this newly created money. This means there's a continuous, persistent transfer of wealth from the real economy to the financial system. In theory this wouldn't happen if the fed instead created money by e.g. dropping it out of helicopters equally to everybody (or direct transfers to their bank accounts), but the whole financial industry has a vested interested in keeping the current approach.

Show HN: Pile Programming Language
Pile is a Lisp running the JVM. It will feel familiar to users of Clojure as it has much of the same syntax and similar concepts, like persistent collections with literal syntax and namespaces, however no code was copied.

Expected Lisp features like read/eval, macros, first-class functions and a runtime compiler have been implemented. Java interop exists including varargs support, first-class Java functions, functional interface integration and streams. Runtime polymorphism is accomplished by multimethods and generic functions (type-based multiple dispatch). I targeted the modern JVM to take advantage of features like virtual threads, invokedynamic, constantdynamic, and records to name a few.

As I am still writing and testing the language there will be bugs, and the current implementation should only be used for evaluation. I am looking for feedback on the implementation and desired features people may have.

Thanks!
You don't make your living from your voice or face.
Tangent: This is a mathematically muddled discussion that turns out to be about right anyway.

If profits went from $5 per year to 10, they increased by 100%, but that doesn't mean that you have room for a 100% increase in everybody's salaries.

A much better way to have this discussion would be to look at the dollar value increase in profits versus salaries.

Profits are forecast to be about $32b in 2023, up from about $19b in 2013. At about 240k total employees, and an average union pay of about $30/hr - call that about $90k year fully burdened per employee - a 40% increase would cost the company about $8.6B, or about 2/3 of the growth in profits. That may be overestimating the costs, as there are only 146k workers in the union, in which case the $5.2b increase in employee costs is... 40% of the profit growth, which seems like an entirely reasonable split of employee vs shareholder gains.

And it can sometimes be VERY illiquid. Headhunters help to provide this liquidity and get paid for it.
