I dislike Discovery, not true to Gene's vision.

It stopped being sci-fi and started being fantasy when they started with magical tardigrades and "time bugs". The rest plays like a space marines series.

Edit: also the spark and flame throwers on the bridge make it look like GWAR concert.

What exactly is negative mass?

Honestly I can't argue with that. That's the reality of the situation. But emotionally they still deserve a bigger piece of what they created.

The value of anything is what people are willing to pay for it, full stop.

The share price literally wouldn't be what it was if people weren't literally buying pieces of the company at that price. So it's very literally saying what the company is worth on the open market. Even with all your obfuscation, that's still the case.

The company's valuation in a public company reflects the price that people pay for shares, so it shows the value of the company on the open market. The employees created this value, so it does indicate how much they each created quite accurately. And you would think that they'd at least get a representative percentage of that at least. I mean if you paint a painting and someone pays $1m for it, you get $1m gross. You make the software and IP that's sold for $100m and you only get $100k a year, that's kinda wack.

Yes, for politicians the cost is always lower to kick the can into the next administration's term. Unfortunately it becomes more and more expensive for the rest of us.

Windows is unusable without Rufus. So glad I used it.

Well yes it's a given that Citizens United would need to be overturned for any of this to happen.

I think you can just outlaw paying someone to do this, not the lobbying itself, no?

I still miss the visualzers.
