Have you heard of the Wheat and Chessboard problem? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Humans are bad judges of numbers, but let's run with it for a second. What's reasonable? 120% cap?

That's a good question, and I suspect it could be argued over all day; I don't have a proposed cap as I've put no thought into what the exact number should be. My proposal is long on support for personal responsibility but short on details, sorry.

Short of a fixed cap you literally can't make a rule that won't somehow be worked around.

In order to keep my proposal compatible with capitalism I haven't proposed a fixed cap, just that in order to have a higher salary you must also take on more responsibility.

This really points to a couple of things being true.

1) Distributions build too much stuff in and not enough as modules.
2) It's a PITA to build everything as a module, which helps explain 1)

I've built a lot of Linux kernels over the years, fewer in recent ones but still have done it occasionally. And it's the same now as then in that building a kernel which is more modular means running into more gotchas.

I think jail time for corporate employees doing shit like this should be a last resort but at this point I don't really see any other good options.

Let them go free, but jail literally everyone above them on the org chart.

I actually propose that every executive salary be capped at a percentage of the sum of their direct reports, and that they share responsibility for any act they take.

It's pretty hilarious that when you post facts about famous rich fucks in the Epstein class, sad piece of shit clowns come out of the woodwork to mod you down for it. Are you proud to defend a child fucker who gave his wife an STD about it and then tried to drug her without her knowledge about that?

That's called spam, whether or not I or anyone else agrees with it (or not).

Spam is messages you have not agreed to receive. If he's sending them out to you then they're spam. If he's posting announcements about them, they're arguably spam. If he's including them in other messages then it's just offtopic content.

The reputational damage this has caused the US is incalculable.

Same for Israel. They won't be able to play the victim card again for 3,000 years.

The world will be unrecognizable by trump's end.

It certainly will for Americans, our privilege is over.

I expect China will be the big winner.

Yeah, nobody needs a crystal ball for that one.

Your early computers had substantial ROMs though

Yes, but still not that large even by the standards of the day. Amigas for example had 256kB in A1000, 512kB in most OCS Amigas (1MB for 2.x) and later Amigas had 1MB (2.x) or 2MB (3.x). Plus, the newer your OS, the more routines you were patching and not actually using the versions in ROM.
