I understand what GatewayClass means and still think it could have been repeated less. I didn't say it was buzzword soup. I think it's good but I wouldn't want this to become the prevailing style.

This paragraph:

> Subsequently, cluster operators utilize these GatewayClasses to deploy gateways. A Gateway in Kubernetes' Gateway API defines how external traffic can be directed to Services within the cluster, essentially bridging non-Kubernetes sources to Kubernetes-aware destinations. It represents a request for a load balancer configuration aligned with a GatewayClass’ specification. The Gateway spec may not be exhaustive as some details can be supplied by the GatewayClass controller, ensuring portability. Additionally, a Gateway can be linked to multiple Route references to channel specific traffic subsets to designated services.
Okay, but it did feign interest to get awareness of the employees to poach. Totally agree, employees have autonomy in that sense, but we are just judging the actions of Apple not the mortality of employment.

If it were just as you said, not a big deal. Happens all the time. But it wasn't, they were sneaky and disingenuous. Bad behavior deserves criticism. If I invited someone to dinner just to figure out if I should persue their wife, their wife has autonomy and what happens after is between the three parties. But the dinner was a sham, and you would be right to feel betrayed. Perhaps not a perfect analogy.
> Recall that most games are designed for the XBox Series X (released 2020) and PS5 (released 2020) and still target that caliber of GPU performance.

This cycle is extremely unusual though, the length of the cross-gen period has been dramatically extended by both covid shortages and also disruptions to the game development pipeline from covid and the Russian war among other things.

Once developers are no longer forced to validate for literal base-tier ps4 hardware from 2012 (8 jaguar netbook cores and an underclocked 7850, oh my), gtx 970 tier hardware is going to immediately drop off a cliff. And frankly even pascal is not going to age well. There were lots of improvements and features in pascal that got downplayed by reviewers from 2018-2022 and now they are really starting to come into play (and would have done so earlier had it not been for the pandemic).

You can hardly say we’ve even seen next-gen games at this point, tbh. Even CP2077 is a cross-gen title - which in many ways functionally means “last-gen”.
> At a certain scale, you can no longer say "it's just business".

Of course you can. Me blocking ads is just business. It's nothing personal.

Them blocking my blocking is also just business. Me blocking their blocking is likewise just business.

Either they'll give up or I'll give up. Whichever happens, that content will make less money.

IOW, the money that content is making right now is exactly what the market will bear.

If too many people stop watching because they can't block the ads then content producers have to decide to migrate, to stay and make exactly what their product is worth, or to simply stop producing.

It's purely business for all parties involved, including the product i.e. viewers.
In asking a statement to be falsified (in principle) you are assuming it to be true (in principle).

Is is true? What makes it true?

So what would falsify this statement? How would you convince yourself that you are wrong?
In 2016 I was VP and CTO for the hybrid cloud team at VMware, and previously Senior Technology Evangelist at AWS.

I interviewed with Digital Ocean in NY. One of the founders set my first interview with a young woman. She had perhaps 2-3 years of experience as a writer, before joining DO.

Halfway through the interview, I started to understand that she was going to be my... boss, if I got the job. And I also understood that they were interviewing me for a position well below my then-current pay grade.

I was angry. Such a waste of time, and such idiocy. After politely completing the interview, I (also politely) wrote an email to such founder, expressing my concerns and my doubts. Never heard back.

At that point I thought: F*ck DO. They don't deserve me or my time.

No one would care about this, but I'm still happy to share this here. This is the type of damage you do when you as a company are careless about how you treat prospective hires.

The problem is that in the current era, we only look at short term profits and losses, which makes it difficult to evaluate competency.

The comparison of CEO vs Owner/Founder/Guy with the name on the company, should be looked from the short/long term benefits to the company. A lot of CEOs are compensated based on stock value and quarterly results, which can be gamed quite easily. You can improve profit margins if you fire half your staff, but will that ensure your company lasts a decade? Probably not. Once you take a long term view, you can align the incentives that way, and automatically ensure the CEOs have more skin in the game. E.g. instead of $3M joining bonus, move it to a bonus if you’re still a CEO after 3 years.

His closing comment might be one approach: force upper management to make a substantial, long-term investment in the company.

An alternate approach would be regulation: outlawing outsized compensation. If the top dog really did only earn 50x the janitor's salary, we could eliminate an entire class of parasite.

A third approach would require cultural change. Regard managers as necessary but low-status. The people doing the actual work of the company should be held in higher regard - and earn more - than the paper shufflers.

When I was in high school in Germany in the 2000's, IIRC there were 3 different mathematics curricula taught simultaneously in my state.

This would depend on the school, but sometimes also on the specific class (major vs. minor).

I just looked it up and it still seems to be valid:

- 1) Standard scientific calculators: Calculators without any graphing or persistent memory. Algebra exams would test your written calculation steps (e.g. getting to the derivative of a function), and how well you are able to translate functions to graphs.

Example question: "We are building an Autobahn that is defined by the function X. Please give the function of the tangent that merges into it smoothly at point Y. Make a graph of both."

- 2) Graphing calculators, but not programmable and not able to do derivatives. Tests were mostly about complex derivatives.

Example question: "Here’s function X. Please give derivates I and II if this function."

- 3) Programmable graphing calculators. More exotic theoretical and conceptual stuff where the actual calculation was the easy part.

Example question: "Here’s a complex body with some sides defined by functions. Calculate the volume. How would it change if function X was swapped for function Y?"

(Caveat: example questions are from the best of my memory at different grades in school, so things might be more similar in reality)

I was lucky to experience all three streams.

It wasn’t that one was objectively harder than the other, but more that the challenges were different.

The best thing about the programmable calculators was, though, that you could put Breakout or Space Invaders on them.

Japan and Germany were two of the best foreign policy outcomes in the history of humanity. They were defeated decisively but not destroyed and they people were not subjugated for any long period of time (except East Germany). They recovered peacefully and their people are free and prosperous.

It's hard to think about for much time without coming to the conclusion that America did some important things right. But it's really out of fashion to say so nowadays.

Particularly as Stalin himself wilfully ignored intelligence about the imminent Operation Barbarossa, for example from the agent Richard Sorge.

And he executed hundreds of capable officers in the 1930s, replacing them with incompetent yes-men, which greatly degraded Soviet defences.

In Western corporate terms, Stalin would be a boss who carried out mass layoffs of his most competent employees, ignored the threat of a competitor, and only survived due to the hard work and sacrifice of his remaining underlings, while taking credit for their work. All in all, he'd probably be quite a good modern American CEO.

Khan Academy, MIT free courses, etc.
Those are in fact funded by donations. If you check the viewership numbers on individual course videos, it is unlikely they are generating a positive revenue from YouTube payouts.
As for being upset that people don't want to pay, I think I can help with that. People don't want to pay TWICE. We already donated to Khan or MIT. Why are we also paying YouTube to obfuscate FREE content?
Khan should choose a different method of delivery. YouTube is not a proper platform for educational videos.

Would investors really want substantial downside for CEOs? Over the past two decades, they have demanded more risk and more growth and rewarded doing anything to grow quickly.

And for those investors who took the biggest risks and demanded the most growth and boldness, the tech venture capitalists (who endorsed crazy growth strategies and paid valuations everyone else thought were insane), there have been tremendous rewards.

VCs are pretty open about wanting to back 50 companies and knowing that 45 will go to zero, 5 will make a bit of money, and 1 will make so much money as to make the rest forgettable. But they need all chasing that mega exit for it all to work out.

Add in that America is by far the best major market for generating investor return at the moment and a lot of it is that the American market embraces risk in a way that no others do.

There are VCs on this board. Would you want your founders to be sent to sell timeshares if their startups failed?

I could raise you to counter that the morally right thing to do is block those ads, at least until Google starts vetting its advertisers well enough to keep scammers out. How do content creators feel, profiting from the scamvertising going on on google's platforms?

If anyone is calculator shopping check out the Numworks, it’s a glorious little thing (and can be hacked with apps, Python, and custom firmware — the firmware part is only on older versions). It’s definitely worth checking out, plus it’s less expensive than most alternatives and easier to use. It can even emulate a TI (someone made an app for it). My only complaint is that it is yet to support different bases, but I suppose you could use Python for that.

For every example this article gives, there are so many counter examples that it feels like his entire theory is bunk. Yes, having skin in the game is good, that almost is a tautology but do CEO’s truly not have a skin in the game?

There are far more successful CEO run corporations compared to family run corporations. Satya Nadella has been instrumental in Microsoft’s resurgence, but it’s very possible that Satya could have done a bad job, got a fat severance, write books and joined other company boards instead. Would you have gotten better work from Satya, if you could threaten to publicly humiliate him if he failed? I predict not. In fact this article tries to create a simple rule for a problem that has plagued humanity since its existence and will continue plaguing humanity. This is of course the problem of choosing a good leader for a company. A good leader will lead the company well, a bad leader will drive it to the ground and then save his skin when he has to. Of course you can try encouraging bad leaders to be good by forcing them to have skin in the game, but you’re better off just finding a good CEO instead. Determining whether a candidate will be a good CEO is a matter of judgement and cannot be algorithmically solved unfortunately. This is where the quality of a company’s board is important, a low quality board will be unable to even find the person that can right a sinking ship

I get it... you're anxious that it's going to be the wrong amount so you want a very specific number... but that specificity doesn't yield commensurate accuracy. Even if everyone put in exactly 125g of plain yellow onion, the variance in age, when it was harvested, soil conditions, etc. would yield more variation than changing the weight... it just usually doesn't matter that much with onions. This is most apparent with strong ingredients like garlic and herbs: one strong small clove of garlic will easily overpower 2 larger mellower cloves of garlic if used raw, but will often have less comparative influence if cooked... not too many people outside of the restaurant world would even know how to judge whether a small piece of raw garlic was stronger or mellower than average. If you're using a flour with a standardized grind and protein level, using weight for a loaf really matters.

The most common manifestation of this disconnect is in cooking times. Unless you've got completely standardized ingredients, preparations, storage temperatures, etc. which is very difficult outside of large food service organizations, (and why so many restaurants are willing to pay so much to huge restaurant suppliers like Sysco for mediocre food... it will always cook the same way,) cooking times will almost always be the wrong answer. People always ask questions like "how long do I cook a thick ribeye steak?" and I always say "until its done." There's a general perception that very accurate cooking times will yield very accurate results, but that's so not true. What's the size and shape of the steak? What's the water content of the steak? Has that changed since you pre-salted it too far in advance? Refrigerator temps vary tremendously: what's yours at, how long has the steak been out.

People like cooking times and precise measurements for imprecise ingredients because it gives them a sense of control, but it's a false sense of control. when the only way to get that sense of control is learning how to tell when the food is done by yourself.
Evidence of systemic corruption was requested.

One account of embezzlement totalling less than most of our yearly salaries was provided.
There are two main reasons for giving employees stock options and one of them is precisely the idea of creating "skin in the game". The author provides examples of CEOs whose stock options amount to millions of dollars after they are fired. So the author complains that CEOs don't have skin in the game and demonstrates this by explaining how the skin they have in the game makes them extremely wealthy.

Sometimes, the incentives from "skin in the game" lead to perverse business decisions. Want to drive a stock price up? Fire 50% of the employees and show that your earnings per employee increased 75%. Nevermind that those numbers indicate that your earnings decreased dramatically. Your _profit_ increased substantially in the first six months after the layoffs. The value of the CEO's shares goes up, and the skin they have in the game makes them a lot of money. The stock doesn't correct as quickly as CEOs come and go. Even in the example of HP's big one-day jump after Fiorina left.

As for family run businesses, most of the the TV references were over my head. I haven't watched any of those shows. But I can offer an age-old story I am familiar with. It often goes by the name of "The Prodigal Son". It defies almost all of the author's reasoning.
Then it was for every other type of calculation aside from graphs, if you didn't need that.

Now, it's a racket.
You can trim that down quite a lot by assuming things aren't magic and use some minimal trust. If people say that cars are designed using newtonian physics, and you see your car is working, then you can say you have tested newtonian physics even if you don't understand the calculations.

Basically you test what you have and trust the description of the implementation. If it works you can trust the whole chain. This is of course not 100%, but it is about as reliable as it can get for an individual.

What you shouldn't do is assume that stuff that aren't 100% for sure are equally bad.
Misses the mark. CEOs absolutely have skin in the game, in that most comp packages include a hefty helping of stock options. But there are a number of problems with how the current system works in practice:

1. Stock options aren't long-term enough – a CEO can make a series of decisions which increase profits and therefore increase stock price in the short-term, but completely hamstring the long-term viability of a company. Doesn't matter though, the CEO already made their bag and moved on.

2. Even when the chickens come home to roost when the CEO is still there, the market is not properly punishing underperforming CEOs. For whatever reason (I have a number of theories), a CEO can do an objectively poor job, leave their current position, and then somehow end up at a different company in a similar position of power not long after. You have to do a really, truly terrible job and even then you might not be out (just look at Adam Neumann).

3. Comp is so high these days (because the multinational corps have gotten so big even when the number of CEOs per company mostly has remained at 1) that even if you do somehow (a) torpedo your stock options and (b) become unemployable, you were probably making enough that you can live out your days very comfortably if necessary.

> Word has also been significant in helping establish English as the global language of business. While it would be an overstatement to say Word alone made English the dominant language, as a US firm, Microsoft's mother-tongue is American-English. When this is coupled with Word’s ubiquity, it at least reinforces this dominance.

> "Word primarily operates in English," says Noël Wolf, a linguistic expert at the language learning platform Babbel. "As businesses become increasingly global, the widespread use of Word in professional and technical fields has led to the borrowing of English terms and structures, which contribute to the trend of linguistic homogenisation."

I don't think I get it. Word "primarily operates in English" presumably because everybody reading this article speaks English and so uses Word in English, but Chinese people undoubtedly use Word in Chinese.

This feels like saying movies "primarily operate in English" because every movie I've seen spoke it.

We might also ask whether the false flag(??!!) invasion of the Phillipines was entirely justified, and question the policy approaches that lead to the pre war bunker oil blockading of Japan were the best line to take .. but these are matters for history classes at this point in time.
