Fun fact, the (rough) conversion efficiency of calories to mechanical joules in the human body (separate from the mechanical to electrical you're referring to) is about 25%
but this is about the same factor as going from calories to joules! So, for a human to put out 13.5 kJ of energy would require about 13.5 food calories (kilocalories).
Stock
at least, RSUs
is AFAIK taxed like supplemental income ( https://www.harnesswealth.com/articles/what-you-need-to-know-about-restricted-stock-units-rsus/ ), which is very similar to regular income. Stock options are different though, and maybe this is what you're referring to
I think (???) options can be beneficial to the recipient from a tax perspective vs. other compensation but not an expert...
And then there are capital gains, which is a different, but related, story...
Unclear from article (at least, for me) how much of this is existing stock grants only now vesting, vs. approved raises/new grants/etc.
Not that it particularly matters
big compensation at the top with tumult for the folks at the bottom is...not a good look.
I'm guessing it's because the developers either have a different speciality that they focus on, are employed to support specific hardware, or both.
Step one: join local bike coalition.
Step two: become a single-iseue voter and only vote for their endorsements.
Only half joking here.
It's not perfect in my city, but it is getting better, which is awesome to see
in the past 7 or so years that I've lived here it has gotten way way better. The pandemic helped a ton (slow streets implemented in a really great way among other things).
Oh no! What will Stanford, CalTech, Berkeley, Harvey Mudd, UCLA, and other California schools do!
My point is that him being fat is completely unrelated to him being a horrible person.
I don't care about offending horrible people; but being overweight and being a horrible person are entirely separate.

(Unless these folks won the Nobel prize and then switched fields.)
Yes I realize this is incredibly pedantic...
Affordable Care Act, LGBTQ rights, marijuana reform...not to mention a Black man was president, and a Black woman is the party nominee.
Yeah, it sucks that progress is so slow, and yeah, it sucks that some things have gone backwards. But there has been a huge amount of progress in the past however-many years. We went from "don't ask, don't tell" to having a Catholic president openly support gay marriage in a relatively short time.
Using Harris' Glock anecdote as evidence the party is moving to the right is just lazy editorializing IMHO. Almost as lazy as just asserting that the party is moving to the left because of the issues that you decided illustrate the left-right difference...
My headcanon for The Matrix's "humans are batteries" is that it's the machines' perverse interpretation of this
killing the humans is off the table, and for whatever reason letting them live with no purpose to serve the machines is also disallowed. But giving their lives "meaning" in the form of a shitty (and thermodynamically dubious) "battery" somehow satisfies the rules.
It's a very big stretch, I'll admit...
