Fun fact, the (rough) conversion efficiency of calories to mechanical joules in the human body (separate from the mechanical to electrical you're referring to) is about 25%


but this is about the same factor as going from calories to joules! So, for a human to put out 13.5 kJ of energy would require about 13.5 food calories (kilocalories).

Stock


at least, RSUs


is AFAIK taxed like supplemental income ( https://www.harnesswealth.com/articles/what-you-need-to-know-about-restricted-stock-units-rsus/ ), which is very similar to regular income. Stock options are different though, and maybe this is what you're referring to


I think (???) options can be beneficial to the recipient from a tax perspective vs. other compensation but not an expert...

And then there are capital gains, which is a different, but related, story...

Unclear from article (at least, for me) how much of this is existing stock grants only now vesting, vs. approved raises/new grants/etc.

Not that it particularly matters


big compensation at the top with tumult for the folks at the bottom is...not a good look.

I'm guessing it's because the developers either have a different speciality that they focus on, are employed to support specific hardware, or both.

Step one: join local bike coalition.

Step two: become a single-iseue voter and only vote for their endorsements.

Only half joking here.

It's not perfect in my city, but it is getting better, which is awesome to see


in the past 7 or so years that I've lived here it has gotten way way better. The pandemic helped a ton (slow streets implemented in a really great way among other things).

My point is that him being fat is completely unrelated to him being a horrible person.

I don't care about offending horrible people; but being overweight and being a horrible person are entirely separate.

*Nobel memorial prize. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Memorial_Prize_in_Economic_Sciences

(Unless these folks won the Nobel prize and then switched fields.)

Yes I realize this is incredibly pedantic...

Maybe don't use body shaming terms though? That's just lazy, and it's mean to other people, not just the target of the insult.

This election isn't about "which one," it's about voting vs. abstaining.

Duh, just read it back from /dev/random

You will recover the data, you just need to wait long enough.
