Perhaps we could also get rid of ship captains, and allow the ship to steer itself.

Not the same at all, you're talking about a highly specialized skill with a small amount of people that are mostly compelled by either military order or international law. Deciding who should be the leader among the in-group doesn't require being ordained by the priesthood (the boardroom), it should be decided and voted on by the workers.

To make the actual analogy you wanted, maybe you should discuss fragging:

And what it means when your underlings hate your leadership so much they would rather kill you than follow their "superior's" orders.

While we're at it let's get rid of coaches for sports teams and just allow the players to coach themselves

When is the last time you were someone who did real work at a Fortune 500 company and were coached by a CEO?

Just want to call out that these are both not great examples?

High performance sports teams have a captain that is often elected in some form from the team.

Likewise the crew of a pirate ship used to elect their captain.

Both examples serve contrary to your point, and there's no reason you couldn't have something similar in business: a cooperative that elects a CEO, rather than it being done by a board of other CEO's.

I have a blanket from the same company, purchased this year, and am quite satisfied with it.

Can't speak to the power usage, but levels 1-3 are warm-ish, but level 4 gets nice and toasty.

Ironically, I only started hearing the term being used in the past decade, as a colloquial alternative to solid-state storage.

I have heard great things about Anubis, although I have not needed to use it myself:

Thank you for this. I will definitely look into it. Anything that will help stem the fire hose of bullshit is a good thing.

My guess is that he took a meme for normal people ("that would make a good band name") and twisted it into a more nerdy version ("that would make a good domain name").

That makes sense. I assumed posting on hackernews implies the nerdiness.

Lots of nerds go to regular colleges so perhaps he’s saying he’s extra nerdy. (Though I think at this point we’re overanalyzing, the worst thing you can do to any joke.)

Yeah but if you keep analyzing it hard enough, the funniness underflows and then it's maximum funny.

Your ignorance of the topic is no excuse to be rude to someone who's trying to help you.

I can't believe Soulseek is still a thing. Kinda warms my icy heart.

I regularly use soulseek to download archival copies of music that I pay for. The artist makes their money, and I don’t have to worry about my account access.

Soulseek is brilliant.

Pretty much what I was going to say. I think Twitter (or whatever social media people use these days) would be a more appropriate place to put the company "on blast".

That's not a sensible solution for us all.

AI what?

Because Apple's walled garden is for your own good, Citizen.

I would agree with this except Apple had done a terrible job of keeping up with standards ala IE for the longest time.

So WebKit is the walled garden? I thought it was the App Store.

The App Store is the walled garden that doesn't allow anyone else to ship a browser engine, except in certain markets where they have been forced by law to create a "Web Browser Engine Entitlement" that non-WebKit browsers can use with super special permission from Apple.

And so many strings attached that they don't really do so in practice :(
