Why is A4 paper called A4? 'Cause of #Math A4 is 1/2 an A3, 1/4 of A2 & it’s 1/16 of A0 which has an area of 1 m² (but it isn’t a square). They all have an aspect ratio a/b = √2, so each one can be scaled to other sizes without being distorted

Many don't realize how overpaid CEOs are. A Stanford survey showed Americans think CEOs are pulling in roughly a tenth of what they’re actually making. Americans said the right ratio between CEO and median worker pay should be 6-to-1. The actual ratio? More than 399-to-1.
