They're an over engineering person's wet dream. They have multiple safety features that stem from ancient wiring systems used in UK, but they aren't inherently "better". They don't even deliver more power, for

That's why multi-kW charging is out of scope of this regulation...

European Parliament voted on this. It is quite literally elected.

If we had a true free market, without that IP monopoly crap, I would be able to buy a 100% compatible iPhone clone with USB-C. But since Apple gets the benefit of IP monopoly - I can't.

I live in US and all SAE measurements are expressed in metric measurements. I am studying structural engineering. Even 3/4 plywood is always 18mm, not 19.05mm.

> in any case, power plug type G is by far the safest and best. That's utter crap. We had this argument multiple times, and somehow people without proof call it "best and safest"... when facts state that it is just not the

Look at it this way. If you enter an Apple Store, see that iPhone doesn't have a audiojack - you leave. There's no record or way of asking you anything. "Big Box" stores will not question you for the reasons why you boug

Cool. As soon as Apple relinquishes all monopoly on IP, then we can talk about if governments can interfere here. These companies hold a craptonne of legal power to force me and you. I'm sorry that I have zero regrets when it comes to

There are literally USB-C cables with fiber cores, right now... on the market. A USB-C cable with fiber core is what Oculus Go suggested to connect to a PC.

People forget that Stanley #4 plane hasn't really changed in over 100 years. It's still one of the best tools out there. We dumped CVS because it was a poor tool, for the time. Subversion was better. Then completely distributed sy

It's called security theatre. And 15 years is corruption driven, because now you are spending X millions. of taxpayer money to store this data.

Cash sign on bonuses typically get paid out early, and have an "unearned" timeframe. Therefore you get cash earlier, than any stock.

That's a load of BS. You're an employee, not a co-owner. You're paid to do a job and, more often than not, your input is completely irrelevant to the leadership. And as someone who is paid to do a job, not to be a practical c

Let alone, a lot of people seem to think that they get the lower capital gains tax on the RSUs... and most companies fail miserably to educate their employees. Not to mention the horror that is the tax code in US, causing you to underpay ta

Considering that at that point I was with IBM for 5 years before the grant, that wasn't a bet at all

Or you could get that cash and buy the same stock, without restrictions that come with RSUs. Oh... also... "Tax Man 22" - RSU grants are taxed at the time they vest. So if your 20000 RSUs vest at $100, then you pay regular income

by JAlexoid 4y ago
That is highly dependent on if the stock appreciates. I remember getting a stock grant at IBM in 2011. Let alone, OP's example is you get all cash equivalent of the full stock grant... not vesting part.

The best way to increase stock value in short/mid term - cut costs... (aka your salary/position) Your incentives never align with any of the publicly traded major tech companies. Small startups - yes, you have more leeway. Google,

With larger companies stock grants are of little value to gain. I joined GrubHub 3 months before the stock tanked. I haven't even vested the first tranche, before my RSUs tanked over 2x. Thank god I learned enough in my life, to demand

It's a very bad analogy, because CEO's operate within a charter. CEOs isn't even the top position at all companies, typically it's the chairman of the board... that can literally tell the CEO to can it. In fact almost al

In essence Westminster Parliament lost its power, but the Royal Family remained unaffected in many cases. There was little for the Royal Family to adjust to. They were the sovereigns of those nations, if independent from the UK. They still

Replace the word CEO with President, Prime Minister, Branch Manager, Head of Labor Union - and it'll make as much sense. As a person making this claim, you are failing miserably to make a case that CEO is a monarch. (Mostly because you

> every corporation is a monarchy No... Not at all. Not that many large cap corporations(large capital organizations, not Mom and Pop Inc) have one exclusive owner. None of the publicly traded corporations are monarchies at all.
