> 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 it

> 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 would h

> 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 should be shar

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 wealth that they made o

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 would have be

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 manages do be worth bil

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 today. But he doesn’t

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 still had more money

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 yet, they don’t. Beca

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. It’s 99% people from eli

The disaster isn’t even waiting to happen. It’s actively happening. Look at the uptime and incident rate of all the big tech companies that have gone all in on AI generated code

Model training pretty clearly falls under fair use. We could fix that, but it requires a political will to change the law.

There is no editor that sandboxes extensions as described. Emacs, vim/nvim, intellij, etc… pretty much all vulnerable to such an attack Reality is most devs wouldn’t be satisfied with the limitations proper sandboxing would create.

The torment nexus was built by engineers. Not management. It couldn't exist without engineers.

by lkjdsklf 6mo ago
That's definitely not true. There's always people for management to blame. That's the great part of being management. By definition, there's someone/thing you're managing that you can pass the blame onto.

Also, for better or worse, cmake is pretty much the "standard" for C/C++ these days. Fighting the standard often creates it's own set of problems and nightmares that just aren't worth it. Especially true in C++ wher

> I think it would typically have taken you longer. That's actually highly doubtful to me. Tons of studies and writing about how reading and debugging code is wildly more time consuming than writing it. That time goes up even more

Templates don’t have to be complicated. Just very basic type substitution is one of the most useful uses of templates and is useful in pretty much all software They’re also useful when you can’t use virtual dispatch. Concepts help a lot in
