Institutional holders own most of $DE, with the largest holder indeed being Vanguard.

Vanguard owns enough stock in a variety of companies to get seats on the board. Their corporate policy definitely affects the policies of other corporations. And yes of course, the individuals making these stupid decisions need to be held accountable.

@sickburnbro
Vanguard?

@sickburnbro
The entire foreign policy establishment has been run by overgrown children. I have absolutely no sympathy whatsoever.

@KarlDahl @sickburnbro
It can be a balancing act - in some organizations, the tracking overhead can become a significant cost center. This gets much worse when management insists on multi-hour incident response calls with dozens of stakeholders, which can quickly burn tens of thousands of dollars of employee time where they are largely idle.

The approach of "tell me how it goes" requires trust and direct insight, which is often lacking in big orgs though.

@sickburnbro At my main client, my direct reports are required to give these reports **daily**, and I in turn must report what I and my team did **daily**. It's an annoying pain in the ass, but it's not unreasonable for management to know what you're working on regularly.

@BroDrillard @sickburnbro
The "agile" stand up meetings suck in a lot of ways, but at least everyone on the team - including a direct manager - knows the outline of what everyone is doing.

We need a reverse-bounty program for open source software. Something like "I pledge $100/mo. to prevent further development of Nostr" or other obnoxious things.

@eriner I brought this up to a friend, and he said "but it means that YOU couldn't vote anymore" (I live in a shitty city apt.).

Man, I don't care whether I can vote. I care about living in a decent, well-ordered society.

Late nights drinking with the Night Crew #NANC

Christmas has come early. Too early for some.
The Night Crew has come to spread Halloween cheer to the Christmas carolers.

Maybe they heard that American women love it when you eat their pussy, and they got confused?

"Yeah, but what if the government goes bankrupt?"

"Then our friends in the mighty Soviet Union will step in and protect us!"

"But what if the Soviet Union falls?"

The teller looks around, then leans closer to the patron and says, "Isn't that worth one lousy paycheck?"

The market's down, and the world is ending. Oh no! Reminds me of my favorite Polish joke:

A Polish dockworker heads to his local bank to open a savings account, and goes up to the teller.

"I'd like to open an account, but I'm worried about losing my life savings should this bank fail."

"Oh, don't worry," the teller replied. "The main branch in Warsaw will cover any debts this branch has."

"But what if the whole bank goes under?"

"We're insured by the Polish government. They'll cover our debt should that happen."

@bot Cool then :-)
