if any of these startups succeed, my condolences to the engineers who get hired afterwards and are stuck bugfixing

This is any successful startup - you don't succeed by making a perfect product, you succeed by making a buggy mess that's enough to convince both investors and more importantly customers that there's potential... That means you need to rebuild from scratch in years 2-4 anyway, so frankly for the engineers who are coming in then, there's little to no difference

For now, sure, but I know a real estate tycoon looking to make it much more temperate

I think the best option is for workers to be able to get shares in the company they work at via an optional salary sacrifice scheme (so that it reduces the tax you pay, rather than letting you buy them with your after tax income)... If you care about the business, you can get a stake in running it, if you don't you can collect your paycheck and go home.

The stock market shouldn't exist however - when you leave the business you can either keep the shares, or return them to the business for "a fair price" (the amount you paid after inflation? or maybe just the current purchase price). Shares bought like this shouldn't be able to be sold - only those owned by the founder(s) can be, with the caveat that they must be offered to workers at a reasonable price.

That system eliminates both forcing "responsibility" on people who don't want it, as well as removing ~~people~~ parasites who want to destroy the business to make a quick profit, as well as allowing people who've worked there longer to have more of a stake.

Workers owning the business < people who care owning the business

That can take the form of workers, but equally founders or just people with an interest in what the business does. Equally though hard to get a founder who doesn't care about what the business does, but many workers genuinely just want a paycheck and to go home (myself included).

The problem is, stock markets and the existence of easily tradable shares, options etc. actively encourage people who not only don't care about the business, but would be willing to mess it up for short term gain.

The only one which is well capitalised and punctuated is also the only guy who's speaking sense (El Kabong), they just replied multiple times

⅔ may be overestimating, but yes, they're native to all of the Middle East and Africa, and most of Europe (outside of Scandinavia) and mainland Asia (outside of deserts, Siberia etc.)

Most places is a stretch... They're invasive in around ⅓ of Earth's land area and where less than ¼ of people live

That article seems very new-world-centric

Europe, Mainland Asia & Africa all have native small cats and so the birds and small mammals have evolved to deal with them, the issue is that in Australia & the Americas they haven't and so that's where all the risk of species actually being wiped out is - in the old world the cats largely just replace the larger predators that humans have killed off in the ecosystem

Also Europe... A significant amount of Europe's content is hosted in UK & Ireland (AWS EU-West) and Sweden (AWS EU-North) which would mean the two remaining major datacentres (Germany and Italy) would struggle

So you're caving to people who are trying to force their sociolinguistic ideas on the speakers of a different language?

It's not you that's being racist/ethnocentric/xenophobic/imperialist... If you were conversing in Spanish then sure, it'd be Estadounidense/Estados Unidos but in English it's American/America and to try and force either one to change would be cultural imperialism

That's what I'm saying

It's better to not even half-way seed a torrent with low availability than it is to seed one that everyone else is seeding, regardless of how high your ratio goes - it's a point on how pointless it really is to waste your resources seeding something like that

Seeding shouldn't be done on ratios - being the only one seeding 10 seasons of a tv show and getting it to 0.4:1 is way more helpful than seeding the same movie as everyone else and getting to 20:1, you're noy contributing anything there other than decreasing your bandwidth for things that aren't already at 100,000% availability
