He did the impossible and made everyone rich, so Delaware shouldn't be getting involved at all.
> Why wouldn't the business friendly court side with shareholders?

Because the majority of the shareholders thought this was a very fair pay package when it was passed (73% voted yes, IIRC). Produce massive value, you get massive rewards.
If total lawlessness is what you want, why are you even trying to incorporate your company?
The judge addresses all of these points and still came to the conclusion that the package was unreasonable.

> - This compensation package was approved, and he would only obtain payout if and only if Tesla reach some considerable aggressive milestones.

The judge points out that the package was approved by a committee consisting of close friends of Musk's who testified during the trial that they did not view the compensation negotiation as adversarial. They were not standing in for Tesla's shareholders, they were collaborating with the CEO to set his own compensation package.

> - This was in 2018 when the company was not doing well relatively.

The judge argues that this doesn't matter: Musk already had a nearly 22% stake in the company and had every reason to pursue its success. The board didn't need to offer him 6% of the future value of the company to keep him interested.

> - The shareholders at the time voted 74% in favour of the package.

The judge found that sharedholders were misled as to the independence of the people who put the package together, which meant that this vote could not be used as evidence of fairness.

A few relevant extracts:

> Delaware law allows defendants to shift the burden of proof under the entire fairness standard where the transaction was approved by a fully informed vote of the majority of the minority stockholders. And here, Tesla conditioned the compensation plan on a majority-of-the-minority vote. But the defendants were unable to prove that the stockholder vote was fully informed because the proxy statement inaccurately described key directors as independent and misleadingly omitted details about the process.

> The concept of fairness calls for a holistic analysis that takes into consideration two basic issues: process and price. The process leading to the approval of Musk’s compensation plan was deeply flawed. Musk had extensive ties with the persons tasked with negotiating on Tesla’s behalf. He had a 15-year relationship with the compensation committee chair, Ira Ehrenpreis. The other compensation committee member placed on the working group, Antonio Gracias, had business relationships with Musk dating back over 20 years, as well as the sort of personal relationship that had him vacationing with Musk’s family on a regular basis.

> At a high level, the “6% for $600 billion” argument has a lot of appeal. But
that appeal quickly fades when one remembers that Musk owned 21.9% of Tesla when
the board approved his compensation plan. This ownership stake gave him every
incentive to push Tesla to levels of transformative growth—Musk stood to gain over $10 billion for every $50 billion in market capitalization increase. Musk had no intention of leaving Tesla, and he made that clear at the outset of the process and throughout this litigation.
After years in enterprise storage with endless performance testing: there's almost no point. Modern CPUs and NICs barely benefit. In 2005 when we had dual-core CPUs that were constantly buried and NICs with 0 offload, it made a ton of sense - heck we had dedicated iSCSI HBAs (QLA4010 represent!).

That being said, if you've got three servers and two VLANs with no worries about the jumbos ever escaping: I guess? But if you see even a 5% performance increase, I'll be shocked. On the flip side you're one misconfiguration away from endless troubleshooting if those jumbos escape.

My first interpretation of "more likely" was also "more likely than the previous ball". It makes more sense in the context of the previous sentence.

For example:

> The first time you shoot a basketball, you will almost certainly miss. The second time, you are more likely to make it.

Does the second sentence mean "more likely to make it than to miss"? No.
Seems like there's some ambiguity in the problem.

"More likely to be red"

More likely than what?

"The next ball you draw from this urn is more likely to be red than green?"
the people who don't take the plumber seriously just dont know their shit.
And they did so after the board omitted and misrepresented material facts in their disclosure to the shareholders, making the vote worth approximately nothing (as the court correctly found).
The judge makes clear that he thinks that Musk was likely to stay CEO of Tesla whether or not this pay package occurred. It was already in Musk’s interest to stay given his shareholdings.

Remember that this growth of Tesla brought Musk $120B of wealth given his existing shareholdings. That is already a lot of compensation for a job well done.

People with years of preparation and expert practice are giving up a demanding high-skill job to do a retail clerk job that requires no special skill or pre-service training at all.

For individual workers this is fine, and people should do what they like; at scale, for society, it is incredibly wasteful: high-quality teaching has incredibly high leverage. We should get our collective shit together and fix it.
I was able to try Apple’s VR headset and I just didn’t see any advantage. Overly simple to use to the point where it was annoying in the day-to-day. Heavy on the head.

There is no stigma. A professor is someone who's supposed to define your country's future by helping people grasp knowledge. Having or not having the right set of professors today makes a lot of difference to your country 50 years down the track. Only a small percentage of people can ever build themselves up to do that kind of work.

Welders make steel constructions that are used today. More than half of all people can be trained to weld well.

Having people move from university teaching to trades indicates a strategic misalignment with long-term growth.
They don’t even really verify that much (they were willing to hand over the car on a post-dated check) because they know where you are and where the car will be.

I presume they do some basic checks, but it’s really all down to trusting it’ll all come out eventually.

They’d much rather have a check than 30k in hundreds.
Facebook bought Instagram and WhatsApp and they were both home runs. Zuckerberg knows how to buy companies.
You place a lot of emphasis on the social aspect, but we aren't necessarily in the days where we show everyone what's on our phone screens. My phone is pretty much a solo experience unless someone wants to take a picture of me.

> Watch people with big monitor setups. They watch the middle one whilst the other 2 are stale and only get the occasional peek.

That makes it sound unviable, but you underestimate how great a passive monitor can be. Something to have some music or video run on, or to view output while one monitor has developmental tools on it. It saves a lot of friction from switching virtual desktops or alt-tabbing (which can ruin certain viewing applications).

That's honestly a big selling point for me, the ability to pack in a portable double/triple monitor setup for travel. Not $3500 selling point, but it does make me consider trying one of them out before the close of the decade

>Another issue is that the type of content/experience that would truly shine on such a headset, is impossibly hard/expensive to make.

Yeah I imagine so. Beat Saber is crazy fun and something not easily emulated on a controller, but making that truly killer app in this modern environment is hard. But I guess the App Store encouraged that for mobile, maybe they can capture lightning twice.
Agreed. The first likelihood of green is 50 percent, and of the first is red then the next ball likelihood of being green is smaller than 50 percent, so the above statement makes no sense.
> After initializing all members of a struct, the padding bytes of that struct are still uninitialized.

Depends on how you initialize them. If you do it all in one go, then yes. If you partially initialize it, then no: some of the padding bytes are guaranteed to be zero. (Observing this and maintaining this variant is an exercise for the reader.)

> It's that Intel should have understood that just because you have weak enemies today doesn't mean that you have an unassailable castle.

Their third employee that later went on to become their third CEO and guide Intel from the memory to processor transition literally coined the term and wrote a book called "Only the Paranoid Survive" [1]. It's inexcusable that management degraded that much.

"You shoot a basketball for the first time -- you miss. The second time, you are more likely to score."

A common phrasing. It doesn't mean that scoring is more likely than missing, it means the second time is more likely than the first was.

But it doesn't materially matter if SolarCity was a bad investment, or board members went on vacations together. The shareholders got their money's worth, and then some. The damages should be punitive for any misrepresentations, which is how this case would typically be resolved.

Instead, the judge made FSD jokes in the ruling. I will read the appeal with great interest.

>Completely untrue. The original iPhone required a 2-year contract with AT&T/Cingular.

That's completely untrue. The original iPhone DID NOT require a 2 year contract, you could absolutely buy it on a prepaid plan. Yeah, you had to "fail" the credit check to get offered the prepaid plans, but all you had to do was put "999-99-9999" as your SSN in the activation screens to get them.

Hah! Unfortunately cars don't become more self sufficient as they get older
For sure there's interesting stuff to talk about here. Intel allows OEMs a lot of configuration with regard to TDP and various ways to measure chip temp accounting for thermal mass of the cooling solution and skin temperature of the device. Many OEMs screw it up. Even the big ones. Lenovo and Apple included.

Screen backlight usually has as much to say about battery life as the CPU does. And it's hard to deny Apple's advantage of being fully vertically integrated. Their OS only needs to support a finite number of hardware configurations, and they are free to implement fixes at any layer. Most of my PC laptops make choices which use more power in exchange for modularity and upgradeability as well, like using SODIMMs for ram, and m.2 or SATA removeable storage, all of which consume more power than Apple's soldered on components.
I look around at my neighbors, my friends... everyone must be doing better off than me OR everyone is just constantly living in debt and considering a car payment a permanent "tax to live" because I see people with new cars (if used, very late model) everywhere.

Functionality does not make good UX. Good UX makes good UX

Not sure how people don't remember what a revelation the capacitive screen was. It was miles better than most Nokia phones that mostly used resistive screens (not saying that Apple invented capacitive screens but they most certainly made it popular) and the navigation with the simple home button and everything else being instant feedback with the buttons on the screen was better than anything else on the market from what I remember. The keyboard especially was incredible with that light tapping sound and instant keystrokes appearing. While it wasn't functionally better than most phones (famously less functional than a Blackberry), it was very much the leader of the pack in details that ACTUALLY contribute to good UX. Just as the iPod and the clicker wheel was ahead with the instant feedback and usability of rotating the wheel to scroll at high speeds through hundreds of songs

I started some cross-platform work about 6 ago and came into Flutter with plenty of hesitation. I was fearing this much ranted about janky feeling, but so far it has not come.

For the app I’m building for iOS and Android, the result has been performant, and I’ve really liked the language and framework.

Kind of speaks to how Intel was not competitive in the space at all. If it was truly that the marginal cost per part was higher than the requested price, either Apple was asking for the impossible and settled for a worse deal with an ARM chip, or Intel did not have similar capabilities.
Has there been any real balanced reporting on this? Obviously this statement is biased to Universal’s profit motives, and that crafty 1% number.. they should share the same data for their other platform partnerships.
Chatter amongst acquaintances who work for various social media companies is that Universal has been attempting to play companies against each other, and their bluff was called by TikTok. I can’t confirm that as I wasn’t in the room, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
I do think this will end up having been a misstep for Universal - TikTok, Meta, Snap, and others have no shortage of catalogs and partnerships to promote music.
My understanding is that the other individual has committed several felony crimes to write that check (various forms of banking fraud and theft), and given their signature to it as well, as evidence of both intent and proof of their identity. So it seems to me about as insecure as saying "I can't believe the sidewalks here are so insecure near roads, that a car could just drive down onto them and hit people." The idea is not to make it hard to move money around, but to instead make the punishment very high for trying to cheat the system.
I just started, so can't really comment on that. So far, it seems fine? We're not talking about life changing amounts of money here; 50 bucks a month at most.

The point for me is to accomplish my goal so I don't have to pay them because I'm a cheapskate.
The shareholders certainly did not get their money's worth. Yes, Tesla did well, but that's not what the shareholders purchased, what the shareholders purchased was Elon as CEO - something that by all evidence presented was available for free. Moreover they did so after being deceived by a board (unbeknownst to them) controlled by Elon.

Elon tried to scam them out of his money, he failed. I wouldn't want to invest in a company in a state where this sort of scam would succeed.
It's getting better and drivers are improving all the time. I personally liked the Arc for the hardware AV1 encoding. Quicksync (I use qsvencc) is actually pretty decent for a hardware encoder. It won't ever beat software encoding, but the speed is hard to ignore. I don't have any experience using it for streaming, but it seems pretty popular there too. Nvidia has nvenc, and reviews say it's good as well but I've never used it.
So paying in cash seems the most straightforward mechanism in that case. Which is fine in-person if checks don't work for some reason.
To be fair, the iphone was subsidized by AT&T back in the day and was sold out for $200 or so, and the earpods and Watch weren't more than $300

we're arguably in a recession right now and this device is priced higher than almost any other apple product in history. Only a top of the line retina macbook pro really comes close. It's not a great time to sell super expensive tech, and not a good time to invest in such tech unless you can fund yourself.
It was much harder to prosecute bounced checks across state lines iirc.

This is a gross misrepresentation of the ruling. Elon's brother being on the board was little more than a footnote because he wasn't involved in the relevant decision. I don't think the shareholders being aware of that or not was even a footnote.

The part of the board that did participate in the relevant decisions (not including Elon or his brother) being beholden to Elon, while holding themselves out as independent, was a major factor.
I believe the reason why Kagi "feels right" for ex-Google users is that they are actually using Google to power the search [1]. They have
