I would argue that a CEO should not have any stock incentive at all. A CEO is on the company side of the stock holder / company split. The board representing the stock holders. The CEO, management, and the rest of the employees representing the company as an entity.
CEOs need to motivate, find direction, find common cause and then drive the corporation towards that goal. Income and profit can not be the driving goals. Just as in personal life, if a person who simply tries to maximize his income, they will tend to grow very little. And even if moderately to wildly "successful" at growing their income, they will end up miserable having lost any flicker of real life in themselves long ago.
Look at the frenzy around Apple products. Yes, you can say it is idiotic but you can't deny that its there. To a very large degree, that came from Steve Jobs. This causes the employees to want to work for you, want to produce their best, and that is when a company can gain tremendous output from the individual employees.
Google appears to be the same. Inside, they LOVE being part of Google.
Fundamentally, people do not produce for money. They produce out of the love they have for what they are doing. Hiring CEOs who don't know this within their own heart and being is a recipe for dull, lifeless, greedy consumption -- not growth, prosperity, and economic freedom.
Isn't this just the effect making the wrong verdict? As the EFF says, Still, the fair use victory is bittersweet. Judge William Alsup's previous opinion that the API labels in question are not copyrightable was the correct one, based on a reasonable reading of the copyright law in question. The Federal Circuit decision to reverse that opinion was not just wrong but dangerous.
C++ needed more features. Some C++ books aren't even 1000 pages long.
I agree! And more use of the "const" keyword.
I want to write something like
const int const foo(const*(const) int const a) const: const {}
and
for (const i = 0;const i(const)++; i
and finally:
const return const 1 (const const const)
Replace const with spam and you would have yourself a Monty Python skit.
There are concepts like "inner dialog" and the Dialogical self (no... not the diabolical self:-) that can be leveraged with a healthy understanding of projection to understand your inner self better. These chat bots could be used to more easily bring to the surface to a conscience level your usually unconscious mental processing -- your own fundamental predispositions that very few are aware of.
Of course, the only people who would benefit from this type of work are those already familiar with the serenity and power that self understanding brings with it. And those people already have tools available such as keeping a journal, counseling, and intimate friendships.
The place I work, management is by crises only -- everything is an emergency. Dilbert cartoons only scratch the surface at the depth of insanity, inefficiency, and inhumanity.
But, of course, if ANY laws are enacted in the US, they will only step up their move to India, China, and now Vietnam. Thanks Obama.
you have no right to identify me via face recognition.
What if I kept a big book of photographs taken in public places where there is no expectation of privacy and did it by hand, no computers? Would that be OK?
So far, you have not crossed the line. It depends upon how you use the photographs.
Here is the commonly used point that a model release is needed:

If FB is driving advertisements based upon these photographs, I would say that FB is on shaky ground but I'm sure they have more expensive lawyers than I do.:-)
Yes, but only kinda. It seems like the real fight would be between the US citizens and the FBI represented by the shooter bringing suite (after the fact) and various other parties joining in.
What is depressing is at least half the politicians seem to be on the side of the FBI / NSA / etc implying that their belief is that more than half of the citizens are on the side of the FBI / NSA / etc. The article by Jon Oliver was extremely revealing I think. People don't really even think about this stuff until it is their personal "dick pics"... then they get very engaged.
The actual original article is here: http://www.roanoke-chowannewsh...
Various phrases and the general tone makes me question the accuracy. There are other little tidbits that make me wonder. The town gets no benefit. And there are a few other phrases that creep in that somewhat makes me question the bias of the article in Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald, the cited article in Ars Technica, and the little clip posted in slash dot.
To my eyes, this looks like a smear campaign by big solar to make it clear that if anyone pushes back against the big American corporations, you will get mocked by the ignorant blood thirsty press.
And, it also may be a poker game that has not finished the last hand. Perhaps what the town is really saying is -- make it worth my while to allow you to build there and then we'll talk.
Seriously, if you want me to welcome you, then do something positive for me. Otherwise, get off my @#$%ing lawn!
Are you thinking some hip liberal Austinite is going to do anything different?
Well... aren't "we" at the core of the problem -- "we" being EE / CS folks. We create new machines that displace more and more jobs. We now have technology where corporations can out source almost every job to countries like Vietnam, Mexico, etc. "We' (the public at large) tolerate poorer and poorer quality goods. "We" (the voters) continue to elect THE most corrupt bunch of people on earth and WE continue to bicker amongst ourselves that "the other side" is at fault -- like life is some type of football game with my side and your side.
"We" (EE/CS) also lead the path to job hopping back in the 1980s in Silicon Valley and other places greatly enticing the old large companies to stop their pension plans and opt for 401Ks which were never designed for retirement. Generally the EE/CE group turned their coats first ahead of the corporations turning their back on us.
"We" also have created our own unreasonable expectations. Only for a very brief time in history did people retire at some golden age with enough money saved to not need to work, keep their house, and possibly even travel somewhat. "We" are also generally further in debt due to our lust for goods and the need to keep up with the latest shiny object than any of our forefathers.
I mean seriously... I bet your car is less than 5 years old, I bet you have internet at your house as well as a cell phone with a data plan. I bet your TV, mobile phone, and computer are less than 5 years old. I bet your children also have mobile phones with data plans and texting plans. I'm sorry... but you are just not in NEED like you pretend to be. Generally (especially in America) we've grown to feel entitled while actually no one ever ever ever ever really promised us anything that we've come to expect.
Now some of you will probably step and say "no me". But, in general, on average, WE ARE THE PROBLEM.
"ruin" is way too strong a word for my situation but phone service has declined to the point that I can not use it.
I have a slight speech impediment. If you were to talk to me in person, you might have a slight difficulty but usually people do fine. In the 1980s, the real phones with real wires, people preferred talking on the phone to talking to me in person. The clarity was very good and the slight amplification that the system provided along with the added focus of being on a phone helped.
But today, the voice quality is awful and no one seems to care. The concept of side tone is lost and gone thus causing people to scream into their phones. The concept of accurate microphones and speakers is lost. The idea of a phone that conforms to your head is lost. Now we have flat phones without side tone and extremely lossy connections.
The other place is with all the voice activated stuff. Sure does look fun but it doesn't even vaguely begin to work with me. Again, I would never use the word "ruined" but it does leave me feeling left out.

Why would anyone ever really tell the truth for a survey? I mean really?
Unintended consequences of Obamacare.
Unintended?
