- pjmlp 3y agoGreat idea, so far computing has been the exception, it is time to join the grow ups in responsibility how software affects the society. Everywhere else people ask for who's responsible when products don't match expectations, or are sold with faulty capabilities, unless the consumer protection laws of the country suck in protecting the citizens.
- bombolo 3y agoDo engineers often download projects from university students and then decide that the university student should get no money and all the jail time if the building falls?
- pjmlp 3y agoThose engineers are the one facing the court, as they failed to obey the requirements posed upon them by the legal system when they did their oath for professional title, and signing their name on the project.

- thumbuddy 3y agoLol "dear free laborers your code must be flawless or you will be sued"... Hmmm sooo... About changing my hobbies...
- sgt 3y agoIf your code is not flawless, do you retain your honor? Without honor, is your life worth more than say, a Cobalt miner in Congo? I have spoken. /s
- thumbuddy 3y agoThe value of human life in most places is exceedingly low. In the US if a company kills ya due to an OSHA violation the company pays something like 35,000 to OSHA. I imagine that's more than a Congolese cobalt miner, but when you compare it to the cost of say a car, a house, an education, etc. It's pretty sad out there.
