We promised those shareholders that we’d pay you as little as we can…… you wouldn’t want to make us liars, would you?

They’re paid in stock, so line must go up because MONEY.

That’s just it, as a business owner, some years may be good, and some years may be bad.

So some years your profit should be less.

That doesn’t mean you’re going under. Less profit is still profit. That means everyone (including yourself) has been paid and you have money left over.

But because CEOs are paid mostly in stock, the profits have to rise every year, for no necessary reason besides “I like money”

And eventually that’ll break, and it’ll happen all at once.

Racism.

Really intense racism.

Also it breaks the fundamentals of the web that a page isn’t a page.

Exactly……

Like, do you not want a light that informs you of the evil?

Just because I installed a check-engine light in my AI doesn’t mean I designed it to be evil 😝

The movie that was almost amazing except that half way through the movie they ignored time travel and shit the bed on the script?

They’re making a second one?

Damn, they’re gonna have to market it harder than the first to bother selling it.

Not just for 2 years, XP removed it in sp2.

And even when it supported it, many versions wouldn’t let you use it, or would let you “see” it but not use it.

For basically the life of XP.

I’m not overly worried about a few random Linux distros that did strange things, nor raspberry pi’s. I mean I don’t know why you’d use 32 bit on an 8gb pi anyways, so it shouldn’t affect anyone unless they did something REALLY strange.

For the average user, neither of those scenarios mattered, especially back when the problem was at its peak.

2 years was a long time to wait to use the extra memory that Linux could use out of the box.

I honestly don’t even remember XP having PAE, but if you NEED the validation, sure, Microsoft EVENTUALLY got it.

Except that Microsoft removed it in SP2 LOL!

And all the home use versions of XP still maxed out at 4gb.

There could see the memory but couldn’t use it, oh I’d forgotten that!

Wikipedia was a fun read.

Yeah I acknowledged the shortcomings in a different comment.

It was a duct take solution for sure.

Intel PAE if the answer, but it still came with other issues, so 64 was still the better answer.

Also the entire article comes down to simple math.

Bits is the number of digits.

So like a 4 digit number maxes out at 9999 but an 8 digit number maxes out at 99 999 999

So when you double the number of digits, the max size available is exponential. 10^4 bigger in this case. It just sounds small because you’re showing that the exponent doubles.

10^4 is WAY smaller than 10^8

32 bit CPU’s having difficulty accessing greater than 4gb of memory was exclusively a windows problem.

Sooooo, I have a ton of info here, but I’ll keep my point short and sweet.

Depending on the age, we HAVE to.

Because rejecting a parent is death. You’ll find that 7 year olds will make excuses for and defend abusive parents, because rejecting a parent is rejecting safety, housing, food etc….

And while that may be less true when you’re 18, some of that programming never leaves you, even if it should.

… so it just becomes a personal tragedy.

100%

Good ones get weeded out by the system on purpose.

Ahhh then I misunderstood.

Have a nice day!

Right but you’re missing the whole “you can’t separate sexual abuse from the power imbalance”

It’s like when a female guard has sex with a male inmate.

I believe that most of the time that happens, the inmate went after the guard. I also believe that if you asked the inmate that they consented to it 100%.

But because the power dynamic at play is so severe, you just have to hardline it and say that as the CEO it’s illegal for you to dip in the company ink.

Probably not worth jail time, maybe just lose your job and be forbidden from directorships/ceo for 10 years?

Here’s the problem….

Because of the power imbalance you can never divorce the two, even if she chased him.

That’s not a moral judgement, just a reality that “perspective “ matters here and if she chased him and then decides 3 years later that he unduly promoted her to try and convince her to have sex with him, BOOM he’s screwed, because she’s got a valid point.

I don’t know the answer, but he’s definitely doing things he shouldn’t.

And let’s be real, he’s likely a VERY shitty dad.

Promotions haven’t been a thing since the 70s Today you job hop because promotions are non existent

Productivity is for companies who want substance.

We only want continuous stock price increases regardless of how much it rots a company from the inside out.

That’s for someone else to carry about after I’m gone.

Why does the dash matter so much?
