Re:We need to rethink employee compensation on Wednesday June 24, 2015 @07:53PM (#9775200)
The amount (and degree) of variables is so large that the exercise is essentially worthless. How can you estimate the share price or probability of exit?

Perhaps, but the murder-for-hire would remain. He isn't leaving prison anytime soon.
Re:Why Tesla Won’t Be Able to Scale on Monday May 18, 2015 @07:27PM (#9567398)
This implies Tesla will forever remain an automobile manufacturer. There is a potential future where Tesla acts as a flagship to start an electric automobile market and will then supplies components (e.g. batteries) for manufacturers within that market. Elon's future is on Mars, not designing SUVs.
It's not strictly the board's fault. The CEO market demands high salaries. Few worthwhile CEOs will accept a position at less than market value.
Re:Tesla Plans to Open Car Doors to All Hackers This Summer on Tuesday April 28, 2015 @01:20PM (#9453847)
What happens when I drive more than 100m away? Does the car rely on the key being "close enough" to keep the engine powered?
This will not cure any "low income folks" woes. Simply averaging the paychecks will not help the fact unexpected issues arise... or the fact that they don't earn enough to live a simple life.

This service at $3 is silly.

Stop mudslinging.

Please post.

Isn't that small time compared to Silk Road 1/2?

What realistic threat(s) would a spy pose? I don't know how the NASDAQ systems work.
Re:Spotify CEO Responds to Taylor Swift on Wednesday November 12, 2014 @12:16PM (#8596720)
>Taylor Swift's agent (I think it was the agent) described it this way - a fan pays $15 for the album, and her friend says "why did you pay for that? you could have just gotten it off <pirate site>." Contrast that with "why did you pay for that? you could have gotten it legally for free off <legitimate site>."

That's not how it works for many. I have friends who pay for Spotify and download (illegally) any content not available on the service. Ultimately, this move will not only harm her discoverability but will also harm her reputation by withholding her music (from fans) for greater profit.

Options might not be the best advice for the target audience.

If you live in America, you have a stake in this.
