Competency is a myth put in place to explain why they pay themselves more than most of us.

I appreciate the good intention behind this post but it seems dangerously naive to the reality that most workers face. Many employers simply do not care about worker safety. They'll claim to but the pressures they put in place ensure t

Both can be bad. Even more so when you don't know which party established the idea as bad in the first place. A purchaser who insists they only see white employees in the office is bad. Anyone that forces their non-white employees out

I believe such behaviour is harmful and that we shouldn't be rewarding those that engage in it.

The reality seems to be that if you tip below the expected amount, you'll be treated poorly, judged, or berated for doing so. What's more, from the discussions I've read, the expected amount has increased vastly over the last

Azure offers a lot of instrumentation/telemetry out of the box compared to AWS. The more time I spend with AWS the less I like it. Simple issues are left unfixed, implementations are half baked, tooling incomplete. e.g: Their configur

The other reply to this from zeroonetwothree hits the nail on the head. The major difference is in the capacity for serious harm. That's not to say that there shouldn't be more oversight of manipulation in other industries. > A

Companies like Big Fish expend huge amounts of effort researching how to make their games more addictive. They are criticised because they have created something expressly designed to develop compulsion in as many people as possible. They a

It's one thing to enjoy a vice, it's another to intentionally manipulate someone else into falling deeper and deeper into that vice to your benefit. Prohibiting that kind of behaviour isn't the same as prohibiting the vice it

Motivation and visibility is the problem, not ability. People only have so much time and even insignificant barriers reduce participation. The Emacs example is a bit more involved but still demonstrates this. There's nothing particular

Why do they deserve the benefit of the doubt? It's undeniable that Israel lies brazenly and repeatedly about it's attacks. See their murder of Shireen Abu Aqla last year for example. The time footage leaked of one of their gunboat

The number of people who unquestioningly believe Israel's propaganda is genuinely concerning. We have people referring to the kindness of a military that dropped more bombs in a week than were dropped the first year of the Iraq war. A

I understand what you mean, I was saying that having to use such seating is likely to result in customers not returning to your coffee shop. That might be ok if you're a tiny shop that only really wants to do takeaway but to me, mo

Not using it increases the barrier to entry. Potential contributors are likely to know git and be relatively familiar with the contribution process on Github. Hosting it elsewhere means people are less likely to find it in the first place.

Top down decision making, typically by non-technical people who often have no idea what software development even involves. Eventually things get so bad that there's no choice but to abandon feature work to fix them. The business loses

Sounds like a dual purpose design that ensures 80% of people don't return to your coffee shop after their first visit.

Making your coffee shop an uncomfortable place to be seems like a great way of discouraging the majority of your customers from returning. Low tables and lounge-style chairs are comfortable but they can't reach anywhere near the densit

Software bloat isn't the entire argument at all. Hardware also fails. If it fails in your macbook, or any brand where it's soldered on, you're left with an expensive brick. I believe that being able to easily and cheaply repl

You're not incorrect in your sentiment or definition but fairness is often misused in order to downplay an individual's responsibility or to justify their actions. An illustrative example where the use of the phrase "to be f
