I don't like the idea/law because all it's doing is protecting bad employees from getting fired quickly. I'm going to hate myself for using him as an example, but Steve Jobs was famous for firing people in elevator rides

You're saying the reputation of the hacker news community is weakening in the eyes of Google because they're losing trust in Google based on the company's actions?

I think this is a more interesting topic than the article. The results of building flat companies is that employees don't have much room to move up. So it's a much better career move to switch companies in order to get into a high

I think you're looking for points to argue on and prove your superior understanding of economics and fair labor, and in the process brushing away important points and ignoring the insights of peoples' comments. You've asked f

They're not judging the company on a few internet articles, they're judging the company on the immoral hiring practices they use. Even if it's not for the entirety of the company, it is still significant. Obviously they pay t

You don't know what taken advantage of means do you? These days any given new graduate who didn't attend an ivy league is in a situation where it is extremely difficult to get a job. The alternative to working as a contractor at A

I would think you'd get a bigger rat's nest with a distributed router, it just wouldn't be as apparent.

So getting an internet connection from a company that has opted in means I have no protection against searches and seizures (almost arbitrarily based on an individual's web habbits). So what if it's written specifically? People often don't

Who hasn't wanted this type of education? This new campus isn't driven by radical new ideas, it's being driven by what students and businesses have been crying out for for a long time; a practical, hands-on education with the bullshit cut o

You should title this article "How to cheapen the online education experience". You may be right, that edX and Coursera require a big commitment, but that's what learning requires. Do you want to play games for an hour, or do you want to ad

Arguing about low completion rates when projected across 20-40 classes is only showing you're stuck in an old, clunky way of thinking. Points to think on: 1. You're acting like dragging students through a muck of 20-30 TA or GTF taught clas
