At some point I realized his "solution" to philosophical problems was always to get really vague and hand-wavey

if broadcom were supplying at below cost as a marketing expenditure it would explain a bunch of things such as why raspberry pi doesn't allow bulk sales but would give them away with magazines

why not make an additional eye a diacritic mark so you can just add an arbitrary number of eyes

Sure but the early employees whose value he disproportionately captured still mostly became very rich and aren't in much position to complain

FYI, jwz hates HN for whatever reason and redirects HN referers to shock sites

That's being unfair to him, there is tremendous local market for millionaire homeowners that still want to think of themselves as socialist revolutionaries as long as the value of their home never ever drops, and he is merely filling that demand

you obviously should have hired the services of a "permit expediter" which is totally not a legal form of bribery

the alternative is the system we're evolving to where the landless class will owe the landowning class most of their productivity, forever

I've always wanted a way to extract just the kick drums in realtime but I don't understand this field well enough to understand whether it would be remotely possible or not.

the Bay area has intense winds?

quasi-python is a lot easier for beginners than quasi-C imo

key word = "labor mobility"

I have a feeling facebook's real name policy is because it's somehow better for ad profiling

only a tiny, tiny percent of users achieve "minor social media stardom". solving their problems actually doesn't strictly relate to the experience of the vast majority of users.

it's a distinct system in which they have to give a substantial share of their take to the supreme leader, and that leader sort of dictates the lines of their territory and doesn't allow them to engage in politics, and all of this exists completely outside the legal system

And if you don't have the appetite for a whole book yet, the wikipedia article on the subject is quite well done https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Trans-Antarctic_Exped...

It's similar to the compression techniques you might use in column store

It's one of the most expensive objects period

It's actually mylar that they're made of.

Doesn't this depend on how much cross-immunity it provides?

I always wondered if broadcom was subsidizing RPi as a form of advertisement

Obviously the solution should be to use muppets instead of people. Much more fun.

The point is the amount of compensation you could give to workers from reducing CEO pay is insignificant when you divide it by the number of workers, even if you imagine an unrealistically extreme reduction in CEO pay.

If you set the CEO pay to zero and gave it to all the workers it would amount to a microscopic raise, and presumably wouldn't make the company any better run.

CEO salary / number of workers / number of working hours in a year = 14.75 million / 70k / 2080 = $0.10

Would the Fed actually have the authority to even do that, regulate what securities Congress members are allowed to hold?
