Comment Why? Greed, aka 'Incentives'? (Score 1) 95

Granted, eBay can be horrible. But .. Gamestop? Overreach. Why? Greed, aka 'Incentives'?

Gamestop's CEO is Canadian. TB Bank is also Canadian. From the CEO's Wikipedia page:

--
  In January 2026, the board granted him a 100% performance-based stock option award valued by press reports at approximately $35 billion if fully earned, covering 171.5 million shares at $20.66 per share. The award is divided into nine tranches that vest only if GameStop simultaneously hits market-capitalization and cumulative-EBITDA targets, with full vesting requiring a $100 billion market capitalization and $10 billion in cumulative EBITDA, roughly tenfold the companyâ(TM)s value at the time of the grant.[31][32]

But, the U.S. is fighting both China and Russia through proxy wars and sanctions. No matter how much you insinuate that Trump is Putin's puppet it won't be true.

This is from the perspective of someone who is supportive of both China and Russia. I want the U.S. to leave them alone. I don't want the U.S. to be involved in Iran. I don't want the U.S. to be involved in Ukraine. I don't want the U.S. to be involved in Taiwan. I want the U.S. to be involved in making the lives of U.S. citizens better.

Your TDS is off the charts(IMO, people who both despise Trump and love Trump have TDS). The US is still fighting with Russia, under the Trump administration. The only contradiction within the US is how to divide and conquer China-Russia-North Korea-Iran. Trump wants to do it by being slightly less antagonistic towards Russia, but maximum antagonistic to China. The Democrats want to do it by being maximum antagonistic to Russia and less antagonistic to China. Iran is the weakest link, so they both can get down with attacking Iran. Democrats wanted to try to slowly crumble it like they did to Syria. Trump worried Iran would be un-destroyable in a few more years, though it looks like he was actually a few years late.

My point? If you're distracted by Trump, either for or against him, you're missing the reality that your government is a giant war ship moving in a direction(WW3), with some clowns dancing on the deck that occasionally appear to fight one another. No one outside the ship cares about the politics of DEI, trans-rights, healthcare, housing, or social security for the people on the clown ship. What they care about is that it's a nuclear armed clown ship that controls all global shipping, has 180+ military bases around the world and apparently a ghost fleet of warplanes that can drop bombs anywhere and on anyone, civilian or not, without consequences.

Maybe this headline is better.

Two COOL Climate Tech Startups Just Raised $1 Billion+ in IPOs

Though the nuke startup is literally hot, in that it generates heat. While the geothermal startup harvests existing heat. So this headline is most accurate:

A COOL Climate Tech Startup and a HOT Nuclear Power Startup Just Raised $1 Billion+ in IPOs

I love Rust. But in my experience, and maybe this has changed, it's hard to write large projects in Rust. I Rust was developed in an environment where computing power was cheap and abundant, so they could afford to compile everything for most projects. As with so many things at some point, however, "compile everything" starts to become a significant technical debt. You'll want to just utilize a black box library and some headers. This is especially true for companies that develop proprietary software. Even within the same company they don't want everyone to have access to all the code.

But, for example, KDE is 25 million lines of C++ code. The largest Rust project is Rust, at 110k lines of code, or 227 times smaller. There aren't any great Rust UI frameworks like Qt, which is 3.5M LOC.
