In case you want a serious treatment, for nominal profit:

For real profit, labor productivity must put some limit on it somewhere, but I have never seen anybody look at it.

Either way, "profit" is not something you squeeze out of society. The nominal one can't be unbalanced, and the real one is hard to even track.

You may get some better answers if think in terms of wealth inequality. But that one won't appear on the coarse level of the wikipedia article.

That's why they talk so easily about unities like "goalposts per supercarrier", US people are used to the confusion.

Ok, go ahead shooting people then.

First, you should be looking for another job anyway. A good workplace doesn't do that, and you should look for one.

Second, if they could afford firing you, you wouldn't be overloaded with more work than you can handle.

Third, go fight for some adequate health-care that is independent from your workplace. The way the US (and yeah, it's only the US) does it is borderline a human rights violation. At least officially, you live in a democracy, so go demand it works for you.

If you got a problem, reinstall and do the same stuff again, you'll almost certainly get the same problem again. So, no, it's only productive if you are in a fucked-up environment where changes bring more breakage than they fix.

It's useful if you don't plan to do the same thing again, though. So if you are just trying random stuff, yeah, go ahead.

Quite an overreaction, isn't it?

If you are given more responsibilities than you can handle on a job, you don't go shooting your boss. You do whatever you can handle, and don't care about the rest.

It means "killing a group of inter-related X", where people naturally fills the X with "people".

Killing a group of animals isn’t referred to as genocide.

Not usually. But it's perfectly within the meaning of the term, and people could easily apply it to whales and primates if somebody decided to practice it.

More practically, it doesn't apply to killing un-related people at random. It's specifically applies to targeting people related through some characteristic.

People here expecting a bureaucracy to behave not only like a person, but like a honest and transparent person with simple and plainly stated goals...

Torx is more resilient to over-torsion than Hex, but both of them will end near the end of the list on that one metric, with slot first, and way ahead of anything else.

Despite what the Torx publicity says, engineering is done over a multitude of dimensions, and that one dimension Torx wins may not be nearly as important as some other random one.

What they don't say is that the smaller the features on the contact, the easier it is to strip them. This almost reverses the order on your post depending on the way you tighten the screw.

With any luck, everybody goes with DP instead and leaves the HDMI consortium behind as the dinosaurs they are.

There are both kinds of full stack developers: the frontend dev that doesn't understand the backend enough to know they suck at it, and the backend dev that doesn't understand the frontend enough to know they suck at it.
