Since when is it supposed to be a relative ranking? Whether or not you learned and understood the material has nothing to do with anyone else in the class.
Only recently has it been anything other than relative ranking.
He's the CEO of a company whose value comes entirely from being a meme. Who do you think is going to run it? Also, he can't legally answer a lot of the questions they were asking him.
What questions that they asked, for which he said the answers were on the web site, can he not legally answer?
He clearly had an axe to grind with CNBC, given his multiple passive-aggressive mentions of how they predicted his downfall.
The one interviewer appeared to strike a body blow when she asked if his motivations were tied to a performance-based compensation package. All of GameStop's flailing malarky makes sense through that lens: the CEO was trying a hail mary, 'cause otherwise he gets didly-squat. Part of that malarky is claiming to own 5% of eBay when, as the main interviewer pointed out, most of that so-called ownership was through derivatives. This guy's a fraud. Time to short GameStop.
The interview shows the CEO is kind of a jerk. He probably shouldn't be put in situations where communication is a requirement, like public interviews that are intended to help achieve an aggressive goal.
It's like he didn't understand he was on air during the conversation, despite the host clearly calling out that there was an audience listening.
The stark response from eBay is certainly understandable, having seen the interview.
Agreed that the Mach-E is a terrible name. But how did they screw up such a guaranteed out-of-the-park home run with an electric Mustang? I mean the whole image of the Mustang is a sporty performance vehicle for the young and stupidly lead-footed. Mustangs are classically known for acceleration and EVs are wickedly good at that. I mean, if Ford were to create a 1965-styled electric Mustang, I shudder to think how many boomers would buy them. They were the dream car of an entire generation.
Ford, are you listening?

Your metaphor would make a lot more sense if kids were designing Lego sets that Lego then sold and vastly under compensated the creators of those sets (while doing a piss poor job of keeping those kids from being contacted directly by adults)
"can't tell the difference between a game and reality"
Uh, while I would argue that you should probably care because that person should be focusing on an investor meeting, it tickles me that you're suggesting somebody playing a videogame during a meeting supports the assertion that "they can't tell the difference between a game and reality".
That would probably amount to a whole lot of people who can't tell the difference between a game and reality (which I don't agree with) rather than a whole lot of people are not focusing on what they should be focusing on (which I do agree with.)
As a friend of mine in an uncharacteristic fit of insight once said, as long as there is a decision point that can be discovered, yes and the code goes this way, no and the code goes that way, it is in principle possible to write a patch to circumvent any DRM.
Here, there is a timeout test.
Need I say more?
"Having worked in public school education"
Lol. Means shit all for caring about better education.
"as it helps teachers and their healthcare/pension benefits"
Yes, you dipshit, it must be crazy of me to think that paying teachers well leads to better teachers.
Why would teachers want longer school days? School day lengths are fine. Longer school years? Is school a job? The length of the school year is for kids. There's a reason why schools have breaks, its for students. Additional money for after school activities? I mean, at this point I conclude you're a moron (actually I knew you were already moron) - that's a major ask of every teacher strike I've ever seen. (I dunno, maybe you've been surrounded by fellow idiots? Maybe this is what drives your pessimistic view on the profession
Dollars to donuts, your "Having worked in public education" claim is as IT or computer something something, which doesn't make you an expert on public education. More of a useful idiot, every time I read your words.
Or just schools, period.
"Data Centers don't seem to bring jobs."
Seems is not a great word in an argument one wishes to make.
imagine thinking that
Fortunately, and overwhelmingly provably, the physical and legal world doesn't work in the way you wish it did.
Protip: as soon as you're talking about "never" or "always" or "happened before" or "still happens"
People survived car crashes before seatbelts were mandated. People still die in car crashes even when using seatbelts. You'd be a moron to argue seatbelts are useless or car manufactures should not be legally required to put them in cars.
The things that influence law and society is the actual data (how it changes over time) and nuance, and that's what the law deals in. Things you seem quite resistant to engage in.
Multiple people can share responsibility, as their actions combine together. A person who drives somebody to a bank for the known purpose of robbing the bank is determined to share *some* responsibility for the robbery of the bank. Just because they're not the person who took the money out of the bank vault does not mean the law does not consider them partly responsible.
I know I know, life is so much easier if you just try and make everything stupidly simple.
On balance, it would appear to be the case.
