You do understand what owning the company means, right? Everything paid to employees beyond the legal minimum is essentially coming 50+% from his pocket. And not paying himself doesn't mean much when that just means Epic keeps the mone

He literally owns Epic and is worth billions. His rather small $1m/year CEO salary is peanuts in comparison to his net worth and other CEO salaries. Asking this question shows you care more about the optics than the substance of someon

Good news for Google's AI teams since Google's AI scraping is harder to block unless websites want to not show up in google search results.

The DOJ can't magically pull out a time machine to record conversations that happened but were never written down.

It's the philosophy behind them. Let's say Google Search improved relevance by showing less low quality sites. However what if those sites also showed a lot of Google Display Ads and thus generated a lot of ad revenue for Google v

In theory can't they basically have a single writer use an AI to write every script for every movie and TV show? At least with elevators they needed a person in each elevator.

The alternative is orders of magnitude more work for them as they need to maintain old versions of packages and old versions of operating systems.

I agree that in this case the maintainer should have at least put then as a co-author. At the same time the maintainer should get credit for their own on the improved patch. Middle ground versus extremes of leader get's all explicit cr

Then you're just shifting the same unhappiness the person who wrote this blog feels to the leaders. That sort of flies when the leaders get a ton of money or other benefits but this is an OSS maintainer. Going for extremes tends to lea

Humans aren't machines. In my experience it's very hard to actually have universally low expectations and be content with them in the long run. Usually people who say that either have low expectations in only certain areas (ie: ma

The simple approach mentioned in the article gets annoying if you have micro-services that don't share a DB. You could add a shared DB or a nosql DB but then you may as well just add Kafka. Of course the key question then shouldn'

I tell a worker that I expect them to do N amount of work per hour or be fired. They need the money to pay their families for basic life necessities. N is the amount they can do if working at peak efficiency for that hour. I picked that num

Unless you consider 30-40% of the US to be rich this isn't about the rich. Although it is nice how you foist the blame onto the rich instead of all of society.

But then MGM would have a contract with those agencies versus having the employees of those agencies apply as contractors to MGM directly, right?

Interestingly based on this you would have $500B simply by investing the money in the S&P500 and holding it for 140 years. If we move the date back to 1874 then after 150 years you'd have $1T: https://www.officialdata.or

And DC can create an LLC which is legally owned by DC but also not legally DC which can do whatever it wants. As I understand it that pretty standard for movies and how Hollywood accounting happens.

by marcinzm 3y ago
Exactly. As I see it this move helps DC since they can now do whatever they want with Fables (make a movie, change characters, etc, etc.) without the author having any say as they also now own it 100% as the author says. At the same time th

Reselling seems fine if the clock doesn't reset in subsequent sales. You also can't really avoid it since they can have an LLC buy the IP and then just sell the ownership of the LLC.
