Notitser

Her ved juletid, skal man også sende en tanke til de, der ikke har det så godt:

"While Yahoo achieves nothing, except for continuing to hold onto Alibaba stock, investors pay the employees $420 million per year in dilution via stock grants. The CEO is taking $365 million from the investors (page 54), whose board members were dumb enough to tie only 3.3% of total comp to the company’s performance (see my economic recovery plan for the U.S. on why governance of public companies is so bad). The CEO is described as incompetent but slide 56 shows that personal finances are being managed brilliantly (i.e., the CEO has been selling Yahoo stock as fast as possible). The classic paper “Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One’s Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments” suggests that an incompetent CEO would be unlikely to sell based on his or her own incompetence."

"Hvis jeg på en alm. hverdag hopper i bilen og kører tur/retur på arbejde, har jeg tilbagelagt ~90km. når jeg medregner alle udgifter til bilen (afdrag, forsikring, afgift & brændstof) koster det mig ~1,7kr/km, dvs. turen koster mig 153kr... dette tager 1-1,5time dagligt.

Når jeg engang imellem tager toget på arbejde skal jeg samtidig med en bus i hver ende, dette koster mig samlet 216kr tur/retur... og tager mig 2-2,5 time dagligt."

Togtrafikken bliver dyrere og dårligere. Biltrafikken bliver kun dårligere.

Ingeniørens bedste hjerner (dem i kommentarsporet?) kan heller ikke finde en løsning.

Biltrafikken vokser 32 gange så hurtigt som togtrafikken

Trafikken på særligt de danske motorveje eksploderer, mens antallet er togpassagerer står i stampe, viser opgørelse fra årets første ni måneder. Det bliver kun værre med de lavere bilafgifter, forudser transportforsker.

WICHITA, KS?Chuckling and shaking their heads as they described their annual family gift exchange to reporters, Koch Industries executives Charles and David Koch confirmed Wednesday they had unwittingly gotten each other the same election for Christmas this year.

"Den vilkårlige terror mod civile har altid været de totalitære og skruppelløses ”svar”, der så rigeligt også er blevet udført af ”de stærke”, hvilket Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler og en perlerække af andre fra verdenshistoriens rædselskabinet demonstrerer. Der er ingen automatik i, at en militært ”svag” part massakrerer tilfældige civile. Den danske modstandsbevægelse angreb ikke koncertgængere i Hamborg eller restaurantgæster i Flensborg. "

Carsten Jensens narcissistiske provinsialisme

I et interview gør Carsten Jensen sig til talsmand for, at terror mod tilfældige civile er en de facto legitim krigsførelse, som dens vestlige ofre bærer et medansvar for. Han ignorerer dog, at Islamisk Stat er en bevægelse, der eksisterer på … Fortsættes

"And even at their worst, the hucksters of mumbo-jumbo are only minor-league con artists. Their crimes pale next to those of our financial institutions, and all the others who convince the public to throw their life savings at the stock market, take out mortgages they can't afford, buy junk they don't need with money they don't have, and pay for the fuck-ups of bankers and the greed of speculators. But which skeptic is going to debunk these swindlers?

Cheating people out of their money is one thing, but cheating them out of their lives is quite another. To read some skeptic takes on alternative medicine, you'd think only heart disease rivalled it as a killer. It's true that alternative medicine is not going to cure anyone of serious illness, but it's also generally true that the terminally ill only turn to it when real medicine has given up hope on them. And the value of hope in one's final days is not to be dismissed so easily. The relaxed swagger of a charlatan can be far more comforting than the stress of an overworked hospital registrar, and the charlatan typically receives his patients in more comforting surroundings than a hospital. If I'm going to die anyway, I'll take aromatherapy over chemotherapy every time."

Ekstremt langt skriv fra ganske intelligent, forum-trænet herre. Jeg forstår og sympatiserer med hans grundtanke, men er højst 10% så passioneret som ham.

Tak til Claus Dahl for at bringe den nær mine øjne et helt andet sted.
