So… the asshole who used reddits “unprofitability” as a fig leaf for hamstringing their user base with a garbage API policy just so happens to be the same guy that got paid 25% of the entire company revenue for the last year?

What a Fucking chode.

Tim Cook of apple got paid $92 million in 2022 - a massive degree of overcompensation in my opinion, and an amount he got sued for.

If he got paid at a comparable percentage of revenue to spez last year that would have been (amusingly) a 92 Billion dollar paycheck - 1000x as much.

Regardless of how much I dislike the guy personally investors should be running away screaming from this IPO.

ikapoz ,

The way that article is written is a little vague, but it sounds like that is how much cash and stock he received just last year - independent of any gain he received from the value of his existing stock going up.

ikapoz ,

That can vary widely across industry and circumstance. I’ve stayed with the same company (granted through a couple mergers) and grown my comp more than 10x in that time.

And while I’m not at all advocating for being any more loyal to a company than they are to you, I can definitely say seeing a big string of quick flips in jobs in their resume is a big red flag for me when hiring people.

I don’t mind people having a practical attitude to comp, but in my line of work at least I find it takes a good few months of orientation for someone to start adding real value anyway. Definitely not something I’m looking to repeat all the time with folks I hire. Granted, I also work damn hard to earn some loyalty and put “my money where my mouth is” for my people, I’d often not the case.

In any event, I’d definitely agree you’ve got to keep a close eye on your own self interest. You may run into bosses and companies that will do right by you like I have, but there is sure as hell no guarantee of it and precious little way to tell the difference till you’ve spent time there.

Curiously inspiring, this one

These assholes will stop at nothing to get you to upgrade.

If only it could be done without being such a giant asshole that you generate an asshole-attracting gravitational field.

I don’t think anyone questions that “he felt his life was in peril”. The question is why a temperamental moron that can’t control his feelings long enough to think before unloading a lethal weapon at his own car should be entrusted to “serve and protect” the public.

Next time you have to fart just squeeze your butt cheeks together real hard. It’ll pop right out.

You tell me. Your user name suggests some expertise.

If governments started regulating bitcoin because it was proof of work based then people aren’t going to pump real money into another proof of work scheme to replace it - why would they take the risk of it happening again when there are alternatives? the mining profit margins would disappear and so would they.

ikapoz ,

Oh I think that’s probably true, but the question assumed it taking place

ikapoz ,

Median home price in the US last year was about 450k, so I’d say your scale is a bit skewed.

May thy knife chip and shatter.

Personally I doubt it. While they don’t necessarily need every vote in the decision, recusal would reinforce the precedent that they have done anything inappropriate - not the tack they have been taking.

Railing held up fine. Railing mounts on the other hand…

It’s always better to ask forgiveness than permission.

The answer to that question is always yes.

Don’t forget flings with Octopus Face and A Literal Demon.

Joke’s on you. That’s an owl.

Not a terrible play, but it has a BIG downside you might not be considering.

99.99% of the corn grown first world, and a lot of other food crops, are sterile hybrid varieties that don’t readily reseed themselves (Monsanto and company HATE when farmers don’t have to buy seed every year).

Once there is no more harvesting or maintenance on stockpile equipment, that supply will dwindle faster than you might expect.

ikapoz ,

That is literally the BEST case outcome for military spending.

So much for a skills-based education model.

My son has a children’s book with the line “Pirates always pay their share”. Literally the opposite of what pirates do, drives me nuts.

I love you Neil Gaiman, but you’re better than that.

I don’t think divvying up the booty is really the same as sharing, albeit much more fun to say.

I seem to remember reading that domesticated dogs evolved more expressive eyebrows that proved to be a survival advantage in this process.

A whole new spin on a “transporter buffer overflow”.

Last three cats I’ve roomed with all have zero interest in catnip. My disappointment is immeasurable.

Can you blame em? Things are much better down where it’s wetter, much hotter under the water UNDER DA SEAAAaaaaa!

I manage a decent sized team of salaried people and I am 100% behind this.

If I were to have a criticism it would be of management hiring more people than they really need, not paying good wages, and/or not recognizing when one of their people is ready for a bigger role.

It’s never happened on my team that I know of, but if I were to run into that case and my guy was getting his job done properly then zero fucks would be given.

ikapoz ,

Oh definitely lots of places under hire, that wasn’t really what I was getting at. I meant if someone is in a full time role at a job and has enough free time to take a whole as other job without any apparent impact on his output, odds are good they have a lot more people on the team than they really need and a good proportion of people’s time gets spent on the illusion of work getting done more so than the substance.

ikapoz ,

I do not envy your dog for all of the farts he will be blamed for.

ikapoz ,

Probably shouldn’t keep them at all, pockets or no pockets.

No mention of salted pork or second breakfast. Obviously propoganda from a Big Trek shill

Better idea, send the robot to work and you can hang out at home

I really want to know what the other four things are. Not enough to go look, but enough to complain here.

Acorn trees? You mean oak trees?

I was JUST thinking about taking my son to see it for his first theater film. Guess that settles it

I’d argue that if it’s possible to only partially complete it, it wasn’t an atomic task to begin with.

ikapoz ,

Exactly, each keystroke is an atomic task! Doesn’t that make you feel more productive?

The only ideal that type of company has at its heart is the pursuit of profit. If they see a real cure that costs less than the long term “maintenance” care they would be all over it. If not, then not.

Novel cancer treatments aren’t a terribly good comparison in my opinion. Rarely does a single one in isolation offer a clear and permanent cure - though with any categorization that broad there are of course exceptions.

Hell, when scientists identify care that is likely enough to prevent the need of reactive treatment insurance companies often make it free to lower their overall costs - teeth cleaning and flu shots for example. That’s not altruism on their part, it’s economics.
