Why is it suddenly coercion if your employees make this kind of negotiation using their collective bargaining ability? Employers are constantly able to dictate almost endless terms of employment, but if employees want the ability to exact

Maybe she has such a profound ideological bent because she has to persist in the absolutely mangled society that we've created :)

Netifly at least was as painless as a deploy process as I've ever had; I had a local jekyll instance i was using to build my blog, and all i had to do was setup Netifly so it was pointing at the remote Github repo for that instance, th

Not entirely on topic, but: I would really like to see how DeepMind or another sophisticated task-specific AI would approach high level scrabble. At the highest level, constant rearrangement of slamming 7 letter words onto the board seems

Seriously. They also want 8 dollars every 3 months to stop their obnoxious, intrusive ads. This despite the fact that the official mobile app crashes _all_ the time...

Respectfully, you are incorrect. Delegating session and cookie management to the framework or (in php's case) the language is so much simpler that I have seen manual implementations of this behavior only 2-3 times in my career. And t

The problem that strikes me here (as a professional pentester) is that these vulnerabilities are so pathological. There is no realistic series of errors that would lead you to really design an app with hardcoded sqli looking credentials or

This rate seems like it would hide the extremely real phenomenon of people being forced to work after 55.

This is fine if you want to hop jobs, but why do you think the most in demand engineers on earth are being forced to eat these pay cuts?

This seems like a perfect example of why labor organization is important. Despite their (as i've seen on this site) extremely good bargaining position, workers in this company lack the collective ability to contest these changes (desp

Seems like there is more room to fall here, given that I would expect fires like this year's to become virtually ubiquitous in the next 15 years.

The thing that you seem to be missing is that you need labor organization to achieve those things en masse. The current 40 hour workweek we enjoy and the weekends we have off are because of the organized labor movement in the US. If your c

I feel like the slow decline of software quality has been in lockstep with the gradual transition from (expensive and non-measurable) manual software/hardware testing and QA to automated frameworks and rollout-based quality assurance.

They are already challenging them in a lawsuit, right?

Even Fortify and other tools which have to compile beforehand don't do so well IMO. Someone is going to come up with an actually good SAST and print money...

I feel like spending 1000$ a month on sailing is not a great way to meet people from all walks of life. :(

I think ruling that out is the point of a phase 3 trial.

I guess i would refer you to the brief period of time where cryptocurrencies were skirting these regulations. I'm sympathetic to the argument that there was some value created there, but hoo boy , a lot of people lost a considerable

It seems easy to imagine a world where oil is not being aggressively purchased in the way that it was until this year, and also easy to imagine one where US military spending is curtailed by a combination of flagging support for US empire a

Historically the main problem with state control of oil hasn't so much been "a lack of accountability" as "The united states government and client states aggressively destabilize your country in order to facilitate acces

I can see the argument about flexibility, but it doesn't really seem to mesh up with the skyrocketing demand for rental properties in urban areas. On the other hand, I'm not sure why the service of removing risk from home ownershi

It's certainly more feasible to rent if you don't have the money to buy a house, which is why every single renter i know is doing do. I'm just not sure why this is necessary or a valuable economic innovation that justifies t

I'm sure the landlord is getting a lot of value from their rental property, but why is this configuration of property ownership better for society?
265.
by airza 6y ago
I guess you're being sarcastic, but what value is being provided to society by having landlords rent houses out to people who would rather buy them?

It's money. Give money. We as developers and engineers have a lot of extra spare cash around. Donate to mutual aid funds or bail funds.

I don't know how to put this nicely, but i would not say "a neutral point of view" is synonymous with "the center of the Overton window in the United States".

Sure, but I'm guessing that not a lot of the people who endured the latter situation lived , and they certainly were not doing a lot of writing about their experiences.

Are you saying "fantastical" about a system that every other industrial nation has?

I don't think the sensor size is the limiting factor on a smartphone; rather the very small lens just doesn't let in enough light to really capture sharp images, especially ones that are far away
