Capitalism does not require infinite growth, this idea is not taken seriously in economic circles. Keynesian and neoclassical economics do not consider or require infinite growth.
You can be profit driven and not require infinite growth, if you make 2% profit every year you are not requiring infinite growth.
It’s not true that maximizing profits is the duty of a company to it’s shareholders, here it is from NYT and supreme court:
There is a common belief that corporate directors have a legal duty to maximize corporate profits and “shareholder value” — even if this means skirting ethical rules, damaging the environment or harming employees. But this belief is utterly false. To quote the U.S. Supreme Court opinion in the recent Hobby Lobby case: “Modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not.”
My friend’s parents have been running their farm at the exact size profitably for almost 80 years, they exist in existing capitalism and have not died out or been crushed. There are many mom and pop stores and medium sized companies that exist without dying or growing
Doesn’t apply here, say for example i have a piece of steel with length 100mm and it stretches 10mm, is mm/mm the strain would be 0.1 mm/mm, in meters it would be 0.1m/m
Really strain is dimensionless but occasionally people add units
Now, is that DevOps engineer worth that much more than the warehouse guy who picks the item to send to you?
This is going to make me sound like a prick, but yeah the DevOps guy is worth more than the warehouse guy, maybe not 500k more but still alot more.
It all comes down to how many package deliveries 1 warehouse guy can facilitate vs 1 DevOps guy. Speaking as someone who worked at a warehouse (package distribution fedex) for a short period of time, moving boxes is nowhere near as valuable.
Not to say it’s not crucial, but the ratio of engineers:package handlers needed is really high
YouTube first spoke about pause ads last year when it started trialing them in select regions. At the time, the company said that when you pause a video, it will shrink, and an ad will appear next to it....
I feel like it leans more into the latter as a kind of tech industry comedy. It stars Rob McElhenney who played Mac in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and I feel like a lot of the humor his character adds is present in Mythic Quest....
!I just started watching this! I got to the episode with CWs backstory and him being a fraud is something i never saw coming, at the same time i feel bad for him!<
I’ve enjoyed Mark Rober’s videos for a while now. They are fun, touch on accessible topics, and have decent production value. But this recent video isn’t sitting right with me...
He worked for the military as a missile test engineer, even did an interview with a four star general. The general described the video he was making (the interview i mean) as a weapon
… and the only place to emergency park was in a touristy area where all the parking lots require a fee, would that accident-car have to pay for parking there while he’s in a crisis?
Technically yes, they must pay. If they are there for a short while like an hour or so nobody would mind, depending on how dickish the owner of the property is.
For more long term parking say a couple days, it’s liable to get towed.
I was working as a security guard in a warehouse type building, and there was this one car with a broken windshield that belonged to one of the employees. This car had been parked in the lot for about a month until the building owner had it towed (because he was a prick). Even though parking was free, and it wasn’t a restricted area. Legally speaking it was within his right to tow that car, the employee ended up paying about 3-400 bucks to the tow company.
It’s a tool that basically pretends to be a user, it opens the website just like you and i other users do. It collects the data (images text videos) just by browsing around.
They used to be prolific, but the problem is that they use a lot of resources on the website’s end. Instead big website owners started offering public APIs which allow bots to collect data without taxing the server too much
