  • This is a wild story.

    Analysis from 2018 here:

    https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2018/05/22/elon-musks-compensation/

    So when they gave him this, Tesla was worth about 60 Billion. They said if you ~10x the company, well give you what amounts to roughly 10% of the company in stock. Regardless of what part he played, or what stock price says about company value, at it’s height in 2021 Tesla was worth 1 trillion, overshooting the most ridiculous targets by almost 70% (the worth at that point would have been 17x what it was in 2018).

    On the one hand, it’s just all so ridiculous that I don’t think anyone saw that actually happening, which is probably why they voted for it. On the other hand, I’m glad he lost it because the sooner Tesla != Musk the better and this feels like a decent wedge for driving that separation. I wonder if this means they have to adopt a revised compensation plan or something.











  • packages installing but not working due to missing dependencies

    This is the fault of the package author/maintainer

    packages installing but not working due to broken dependencies

    Sometimes the fault of the package author/maintainer. Sometimes this is the fault of a different package you’re also trying to use in tandem. Ultimately this is a problem with the shared library approach python takes and it can be ‘solved’ by vendoring within your own package.

    packages not building and failing with obscure errors

    Assuming the package is good, this is a problem with your build system. It’s like complaining a make file won’t run because your system doesn’t have gcc installed.

    one package was abandoned and using Python 2.7

    Unfortunately there’s a ton of this kind of stuff. I suppose you can blame pypi for this, they should have some kind of warning for essentially abandoned projects.
