Bingo.

If a school keeps giving their students assignments that current tools can answer easily, the school needs to change their assignments.

Nor should they. It's up to the educational institutions to move with the times and make assessments that make sense in the current world.

When calculators were invented, was it the calculator manufacturers problem that students could use them to do their maths homework that was just straight maths equations that a calculator can solve easily? No, it's the educators problem.

They're not owned by you. You own a license to use them. Some stores, like GOG, give you a less restrictive license, but it's still a license.

So if the developers of a game go bankrupt, or a single developer of an indie game dies, what do you suggest happens?

[–] FreedomAdvocate 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This is absolute bullshit and not at all how it works, now or back in the 1980s.

Nah, it's absolutely how it has worked since the 1980s. You've never owned the game, just the physical hardware it's on and a license to use the game. Go read any manual or back of the box or actual cartridge or disc.

They were absurd milestones at the time, which nobody thought he could hit in his wildest dreams.

Musk has never met a milestone once

Apart from all the ones that he has, like his last mega paypacket at tesla, you mean?

[–] FreedomAdvocate -3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I think that Tesla can probably get a more-effective CEO for less money, personally.

Musk takes $0 pay as CEO other than these post-performance-goal-hit pay packets though. Good luck finding another CEO who will work for free for 5+ years.

And Musk is an expert in dreaming big and make other people believe it.

And has a near flawless record in achieving those dreams, making the people who believed in it filthy rich.

This pay packet is, like his last one, a "bet big on me and I'll make you all insanely rich, or I get nothing" bet. It makes no sense why anyone would say no to it.

[–] FreedomAdvocate -4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Still insanely, insanely high though.

But undeniably worth it if you're a tesla shareholder.

It's like your financial adviser saying "I'll make you a billionaire in 5 years, and if I do your bill will be $1mil. If I don't, don't pay me anything, and you've lost nothing" - why would anyone have an issue with that?

How could one guy get paid more than the whole company ever made?

Because that $1trillion pay packet is contingent on the value of Tesla going to like $5tril, which would make it the biggest company in the history of the world. It would make every shareholder insanely rich.
