The solution to the complexity of any queuing system is to add another queue
This isn’t the first time she’s done it. She spent 41 days making the same trip with 2 other people
That’s crazy. The even crazier thing to me was she apparently did it before with 2 other people which took just under 41 days. It’s kind of mind boggling that she would do this shit twice and that it only took her two…
Network byte order has nothing to do with the kernel and you have to care about it It’s a standard because neither side of the connection knows the endianness of the other side so there must be a standard. That standard…
Jj is weird. In general it’s a better ui and model than git, but there’s a few common operations that are just dumb. It also recreates a lot of the stupidity of mercurial (which makes sense) The fact that everyone needs…
Modern cpp is a bit of an oxymoron
It’s the same problem. You don’t have an audit trail. That’s needed in a lot of situations for compliance reasons
They’re quickly becoming the new sourceforge
> I never had deals change from under me I sincerely doubt this. If your start up went through a funding round, the deal changed. > That you got screwed for not doing your due diligence doesn't mean everyone does. “Due…
That's kind of the opposite of your original claim then. They're in it for the money as it allows them to exert control. That's still being in it for the money.
It's pretty easy. You can just cap total compensation for executives relative to the lowest paid worker and include equity in that calculation. If you want to pay yourself, 10 million a year in stock, great... You need…
I forgot Jeff's current amazon holdings are all teh shares in existence
> That was one way that wealth was shared, at one company, in one industry, with one or several bad actors. Except it's not. It's the norm not the exception. It's pervasive through the industry, and YC and pg have done…

> Bezos’s share of Amazon’s net profit last year was about $6.9 billion We're not talking about Bezos's profit share for one year. We're talking about giving the workers a bigger share of the profit. Ideally, there…
> Why should they pay more than market worth? That's the whole moral and ethical difference. Paying them their market worth is the minimum. The entire argument is that when something is wildly successful, that success…
The entire reason I disagree with the way wealth is shared is because I workedi n startups for years. I worked my balls off to make millions for CEO founders and other asshole investors and only got a pittance of the…
It's entirely relevant. The entire point is that the riches borne of the success of amazon could have been shared more equally while not actually making a different in Bezos' or his families life. The only difference…
No. Reality is reality. Her statement was based on reality. Inventing some nonexistent fantasy where her statement is wrong isn’t a useful exercise. Yes, it’s possible that in the future there may be some person that…
What in the world are you talking about It very obviously goes to the people working at Amazon. Political party has nothing to do with anything
It’s absolutely not a non-sequitur. The point is that his wealth is from exploiting labor out of greed. He could take a smaller share and still be plenty rich and many more people would be much better off than they are…
You’ve entirely misunderstood her point. Her point isn’t that Amazon is bad because it’s a trillion dollar company Her point is that Bezos is bad because he and Amazon could have paid that driver 10x what they make and…
Do you have any examples of a singe company with only the founder as an employee that is worth a billion dollars? Her point was being made about actual reality and not some hypothetical fantasy
It’s still exploitative. The point is that the “gains” are overwhelmingly absorbed by the top. There’s no reason they couldn’t pay them a much bigger share of the profits and raise up that entire part of the world. But…
He also doesn’t engage with the fact that this company required funding from y combinator to get to that point Which is something that is not an option for most people. Look at where y combinator founders come from.…
