I think you mean the “Historical Documents”

For the simple reason they know a lot of people will pay em $20 not to have to go get a money order.

At this point the onion should publish an article saying from now on they will only be publishing straight factual news articles. Whether that article itself was satire or not, no one can really tell the difference anymore.

The way that article is written is a little vague, but it sounds like that is how much cash and stock he received just last year - independent of any gain he received from the value of his existing stock going up.

Tim Cook of apple got paid $92 million in 2022 - a massive degree of overcompensation in my opinion, and an amount he got sued for.

If he got paid at a comparable percentage of revenue to spez last year that would have been (amusingly) a 92 Billion dollar paycheck - 1000x as much.

Regardless of how much I dislike the guy personally investors should be running away screaming from this IPO.

So… the asshole who used reddits “unprofitability” as a fig leaf for hamstringing their user base with a garbage API policy just so happens to be the same guy that got paid 25% of the entire company revenue for the last year?

What a Fucking chode.

That can vary widely across industry and circumstance. I’ve stayed with the same company (granted through a couple mergers) and grown my comp more than 10x in that time.

And while I’m not at all advocating for being any more loyal to a company than they are to you, I can definitely say seeing a big string of quick flips in jobs in their resume is a big red flag for me when hiring people.

I don’t mind people having a practical attitude to comp, but in my line of work at least I find it takes a good few months of orientation for someone to start adding real value anyway. Definitely not something I’m looking to repeat all the time with folks I hire. Granted, I also work damn hard to earn some loyalty and put “my money where my mouth is” for my people, I’d often not the case.

In any event, I’d definitely agree you’ve got to keep a close eye on your own self interest. You may run into bosses and companies that will do right by you like I have, but there is sure as hell no guarantee of it and precious little way to tell the difference till you’ve spent time there.

Frankly a plain topless shot is not in my opinion grounds for anything heavier than a PG rating

Curiously inspiring, this one

Why wouldn’t we include a server call on every button press? We need usage data to optimize the experience!

Organic != Non-gmo

 

I’m a pretty new Linux user, started using a basic Mint installation on the old desktop I use as part of my stereo/tv setup. All in all couldnt be happier with how easy and flexible it’s been, but one little thing is bugging the crap out of me and I haven’t a clue how to fix.

This setup runs the computer audio through a mojo DAC over TOSLINK (eg optical audio) to an analog stereo amp. Getting it to work when I replaced Win 7 with Mint was plug and play - couldn’t have been easier. The super annoying thing is that it seems that now if the desktop is inactive for more than a few minutes the DAC powers down and needs to be turned on manually (fairly certain it’s when the OS goes to sleep but not sure). When I was running windows with same hardware it would not power down until I did it manually. With the wiring and furniture setup I have it’s kind of a PITA to reach back and turn the DAC on every time I want to use the computer.

I did some cursory internet searches on the issue without much luck. If one of you fine people can think of a solution, it even an avenue of investigation, I’d appreciate it. As I said, I’m new to Linux but not entirely tech illiterate so im willing to poke at it.
