Yeah...it's not the CEOs setting their own remuneration, they just ask for it. The board of directors, and by extension the voting shareholders are the ones who accept huge offers to attract their must-have employee. It's an arms race between corporates, offer to pay less and another entity will...

Saw a figure the other day that something like four fifths of industrial espionage in America is assumed to be Chinese in origin. Probably pales in comparison to all the things they force foreign companies to do in China, if they want to buddy up with a local manufacturer.

Sometimes I do feel kinda sorry for corporates like Google and the relentless torrent of filth and complaints they have to deal with. Commanding the tide to stop, really. Then I remember the last half dozen kneejerk demonetisations and copyright strikes, and I stop feeling pity for them.

There goes the online presence for the CDC and FDA, I guess ..

Well, what do you know, women are still the real victims in all of this. Who'd have thought it?

Guess I'm now old enough, I've reached that point...videocards now officially have way more memory than was on my entire hard disk.

"Accident"

Dang, they had to cut a big mushroom of cartilage out of me. Maybe they should have offered it to you guys secondhand? If I can figure out how to keep growing the stuff, this could turn into a business model!

Where I am, the issue is that they DIDN'T protect the taxi cartel. It was legally impossible to operate a taxi without a bunch of background checks, extra certifications and a fee (well into six figures) to the state government for an accreditation. Yet, mysteriously, the ride-share services...

Wonder where the demonetised accounts would have placed?
