You can run absolutely anything as a docker container that you have the binary (and other files if needed), or you can go fancy and compile from source in docker.

Just create a dockerfile.

From (some base image you want to use like Ubuntu or Alpine)

Copy necessary files

Run the binary

You can run it straight from command line, put it in a docker compose file, or even tag it and upload it to a repository (and then reference that in your docker compose)

Thing is, you may have to go to jail, depending on what the company is caught doing. Your name will be all over the news too.

No idea lol

I read it as the company is pivoting, not the app which they’ll just stop working on

Removed the image to avoid traumatizing anyone else whose app might not work properly with spoiler tags

Being a CEO and being a shareholder have nothing to do with each other.

The truly rich, AKA the major shareholders, aren’t going to bother with a job, unless running their own company (probably the one they’re the major shareholder at).

Then the big institutional shareholders (Blackrock and the like) invest other people’s money - people like you and me.

Only a minority of shareholders for any given company, are CEOs at other companies.

It’s still a club for the ultra rich and we ain’t in it. I’m just saying that your average CEO is set up to be a scapegoat for even richer and shadier people (while still very much not being one of us working class citizens)

Linux machines?

Because on my Linux machines, once it’s been updated, I can not open a new tab, it’ll tell me to frig off and restart. I can click links in existing tabs, and might’ve been possible to enter a new URL in an existing tab, I don’t recall exactly.

It’s not that they take responsibility, but rather in extreme circumstances they take the plunge and resign, or they’re fired. So the company can say they’re turning a new leaf

Examples from a quick search:

Hank McKinnell, CEO of Pfizer, received a US$188 million severance package after his resignation, even after a 44% decline in the company’s stock value since he took over in 2001.

Jeff Smisek, the former CEO of United Airlines, received a separation payment of $4.875 million in cash along with additional equity awards and other benefits for a total of close to $37 million.

United was in the middle of a corruption scandal and of course he took the fall, but I’m 100% sure he wasn’t acting alone.

Shady companies are always gonna be shady. But they’ll oust a CEO every now and then to pretend like they’re gonna change.

That helps, but largely the boards consist of major shareholders, or people that the shareholders have elected to be there.

The board, representing the shareholders, needs to make sure the company maximizes shareholder value above all else. They steer the company in very broad strokes. But if the company does something illegal or highly unpopular, the board members want themselves, the shareholders and the company in general to be as insulated as possible. So the CEO is a sacrificial lamb who either resigns or is fired, and takes the golden parachute. The idea is that the CEO was at fault and everything’s gonna be better now (no it’s not lol)

This must be the 10th time I comment this on Lemmy and you might already know this, but:

The reason a CEO gets paid what he gets paid is not because of the value he adds to the company (as you pointed out, anyone could do the job), but because when the company fucks up (whether due to his decisions, or those of the board, or just anything, really), he takes the fall so the company can keep on doing whatever shady shit they’re doing and the board can act like they had no idea what was going on.

Ah this is a whole different set of bots.

The ones in the OP seem to be advertising a different youtube channel that then links to a website that supposedly contains nudes. That’s pretty new

The one in yours, the “multiple people discussing a way to get rich” chain is pretty old by now, has been going on for at least 2-3 years.

Oh wow, I was like “interesting, haven’t seen these” seeing the three emojis and stuff on yours

However

To test the theory, I (a car nut) went to one of the biggest automotive YouTubers, Mat Armstrong, who’s currently rebuilding his dad’s dream car and released the last video 2 days ago.

Two comments, different profile, same profile pic that, zoomed out enough, looks like a vagina. Go on the profile and they both look like this:

Edit: spoiler tag wasn’t working for everyone. Long story short, they linked another channel with a bottomless lady for the thumbnail

I’ll have you know, I’ve started several projects in Rust!

Only to realize I don’t have time to do unpaid work even if it IS fun.

Lots of things, yeah. Many countries have set up energy efficiency loans too - for home renovations, or for business purposes. The idea is that you give out low interest loans so people (or companies) can achieve what they need earlier. I don’t know if anything like that is in place in Germany, France or Sweden (or Italy, I suppose they still have a bit of their car industry left), but if I was in a relevant position in one of those companies and there was a need to, say, build a battery manufacturing plant locally so that EVs could be built for cheaper and less dependence on existing battery manufacturers, I’d definitely go ask the relevant nation’s government, parliament and/or business development department, for a loan, tax break, or subsidies. Worst that could happen is they say no.

But yeah, an already successful car manufacturer getting straight on subsidies for selling cars they’re already making and selling anyway - extremely unlikely in most countries I’d think. Now if one or two of the German big 3 were on the verge of bankruptcy because of Chinese competition, that might change. Still sounds unlikely though. China’s GDP is 4x that of Germany’s, they can afford to keep subsidizing their shit for longer.

They’re for-profit companies and so far pretty successful without direct subsidies. EU countries usually have subsidies for purchasing EVs (regardless of manufacturer) rather than subsidizing the manufacturers directly - this leaves the consumers more choice and has a similar or maybe even better effect on EV adoption. On the climate side of things as well as public health and equal opportunities for people, transit investments would be better than outright paying BMW and Mercedes to make their EVs cheaper. China, however, doesn’t just want EV adoption on their own roads, China wants THEIR EVs specifically to dominate the world. Usually this is seen as unfair, regardless of industry, and is one of the few valid reasons for tariffs in an otherwise free global market.

The funny thing is, if the Chinese subsidize their EVs and the EU tariffs them, the tariff money could then be spent on EV subsidies - bringing all the different manufacturers to equal ground again.

Having 7.5x the population means having more funds available for building expensive subway lines. Having more population also necessitates more of the transit to be via subway or rail, as opposed to buses which are slower and have other issues, but way cheaper than rail or subway.

Toronto, having less population, invests less in the most expensive solution that’s best for the densest cities, but still also invests in light rail and bus networks.

I was born in a town of <10k. We had buses and nothing else. Capital city of my country has a population of ~300k - has rail and trams in addition to buses. Capital city of the country just north of us a bigger population in the metro area than our entire country - 1.6 million vs 1.3 million. They have metro lines. Slightly over half the population of Toronto, slightly over half the total length of metro lines. Toronto is also building an extra 3 lines in addition to the current 3, nearly doubling total length of lines when it’s done.

Now Chengdu vs Toronto: 7.5x the population, 9x the rail lines (by length). Is Toronto really doing so badly? I would say that the bigger you get with cities, the need for high density transport lines actually rises faster than city growth. Maybe not quadratic, but definitely not linear. n log n maybe?

Other comments have pointed out that Toronto also has a light rail system and other solutions. This post shows just the metro systems of both cities. Maybe when there’s an order of magnitude difference in population, the exact transit solutions needed differ?

Some of those are valid, some are stupid as hell.

For the covid ones - the cost was complete lockdown, with some people’s doors being welded shut (not official government policy, but common enough to make news, as lower level authorities get some decision making power in these cases). Imagine having an emergency and your door being welded shut. And of course we later found out that even multi-dose vaccines don’t stop covid 100%, so instead of stopping the pandemic forever, nothing of value was actually achieved. Covid is the new seasonal flu. For a while we didn’t even get vaccines for Covid here in Estonia anymore, though now they’re back on the table, free if you’re in a high risk group.

Electric cars - the cost is mass government subsidies for BYD and a couple of others. BYD doesn’t make money if they sell you a car I believe, they make money from the Chinese government if they sell you a car. Even if you’re in another country. China wants their EVs to dominate the market and that’s a strategy. This is why the EU had to raise tariffs on Chinese cars. Otherwise the European auto industry would simply die.

I happen to agree on most or your points.

By the way, you can still get the fancy desktop effects by installing Compiz. Probably only supports X but I haven’t really looked into it. Must’ve been 2009 or 10 when I used it lol

I played in a TBC private server when Wrath wasn’t out yet. I never made it to level 70, or maybe I did in the very end. I just never cared either. There was so much to discover
