1.) I hardly think the brand of suit detracts from my point. 2.) Go read the comments on the article itself. It’s littered with antecdotes about training your own replacement, being fired before a stock vest, etc. 3.) I would argue that bar

Good read. The sooner that society comes to grips with the concept that sociopathic behavior in a t-shirt and jeans is exactly the same as sociopathic behavior in a Prada suit the better.

I’m defintely not making an argument for communism. I’m simply trying to make the point that there is a stark opposition to anything but pure capitalism in the US and a lot of the position seems to be based on a percieved freedom level. Buy

I would say it’s really a dislike based on percieved freedom. Are you really anymore free in a capitalist system if the majority of the population can only afford the cheapest {insert item} at Wal-Mart? The pending existential crisis of cap

I’m with you as much as the media portrays him as a knucklehead with no self-awareness he wouldn’t be anywhere near his station if he didn’t know what he was doing. By constantly using cheap theatrics like the giant Reese’s cup he’s distrac

Exactly, supply and demand is pretty easy for people to grep (including myself) when explained in a simple cartoon or econ 1010 class. It’s current application in a globalized market is anything but transparent, which makes it even harder t

I think your point is under represented in the digital privacy conversation. It doesnt do me a lot of good to stay off of Facebook if Facebook is still mapping me and scraping my contact info from other peoples phones.

Agreed, I shared this article link yesterday in a comment on the Panera bread disclosures. I’m more of the school of thought that this is a technique that helps when you have no intention of fixing the root cause not neccesarily maintaining

Absolutely agreed. It feels like corps are developing thier own infosec version of the four dogs defense. 4 DOG DEFENSE My Dog Does Not Bite. My Dog Bites, But It Didn't Bite You. My Dog Bit You. But It Didn't Hurt You. My Dog Bit

It will be interesting to see how Apple handles this. Last time around users got a compatibilty layer in Rosetta to bridge compatibilty between Power Pc applications on Intel. I would imagine that would be the case this time but some of the

I’ve been using a hosted copy of TIny Tiny RSS ( https://git.tt-rss.org/fox/tt-rss/wiki ) for a few years now combined with Fiery Feeds on iOS. It’s been rock solid for me, it took a few weeks to dial in my settings

Not to mention there is a whole class signalling aspect to interships. I remember a getting an internship in college with a large defense contractor and them not seeming to understand I needed to know what the exact pay was. As much as I wo

I would think that accountibility would probably be equally if not more helpful in these situations. If a document was signed stating liability similar to Sarbanes Oxley for CFOs those who would be cutting corners would likely do the thorou

This reminds me of a paper on primate stress level increases due to the amount of time they spend foraging (study was focused on deforestation but seems applicable here). It seems to suggest a biological ceiling for well being and reproduct
