Good luck with that. Even the new BOTS act passed yesterday, section 1 includes the similar language preventing actions the same way the DMCA does.

Well, even though he was completely lambasted and lampooned by "Developers Developers Developers", he wasn't wrong. We see the 85%/15% split in programming and developing as well. When something is just too good to pass

And this is a great example of derailing a conversation by attacking the specific language used. This tactic is used to great effect by SJW's. I only need look down the thread to see how much you caused. Many a times, this type of hara

Im currently using Throw Away Email, and wow, they are nasty pushy. And yes, I'm polluting their Database. Too bad, so sad :) Theyre digging in "what kind of brokerage work do you do" and then asking very pointed money-market

This is very much the "Apple" style, and gave me a laugh. http://4dpavshx5ly3quwy2v9yv83i.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-c... Seriously, I have very little to add to this. It's overly expensive wireless earbuds t

Yeah. I work in tech, and this has tripped me up many a time. Apple is extremely negligent about demanding a credit card, when I only want "free applications". Worse yet, with their app-storification of OSX, it's absolutely h

One problems I've found with these style of apps are the elderly community. My wife works at "In-Home healthcare" for the elderly community, specializing in hospice care. Because of this, she sees a lot of family members who

> Meraki is completely cloud based. So, you're happy with someone owning your devices and network, and you being said "renter" on your network? This is DRM of the worst kind: the logic is locked away behind their servers

Yep. And this argument is in parity with those people who wear white robes with pointy hats, and burn crosses in people's yards whom they do not like. It's also similar to Phrenology, the "science" of skull size, weight,

They never have to work. They may choose to do so. But in the end, they have that as a choice. We are talking of compulsory labor, where I have to do something to make someone else even more money, so I can have something to eat and a pla

Other than the personnel section in a business is "Human Resources", in the same light as "Material resources" or what have you? Capitalism views humans as a resource to be used and exploited. When that equation no longe

Humans are too... polarizing to discuss. Lets take horses. They were essential for many areas, for a very long time. Once a horseless carriage was constructed, horse ownership declined. After a tipping point, the cost for a horse, in terms

Seriously? You're arguing that hobbies and doing what you want is "really work"? The idea of Work, in a Capitalistic sense, is activities you do for someone else, that make money for them above and beyond what you are paid fo

by kefka 10y ago
Nope. Not even close. With hobbies, I can start and stop them as I choose. My livelihood is not bound to the requirement that I do X to get money $Y. If I want to do the hobby of "drink whiskey and watch all of netflix", so be it.

Of course you're going to find someone who wants to work. In those cases, the money is second to the actual stuff being done. It's most likely a hobby or something that they enjoy greatly, and probably would do for free. Most peop

We do fund public research. It is then considered the "property" of the university, which is sold as IPR to the highest bidder to make money for the university. It is also summarily locked behind academic paywalls but there are so

Hmm. This seems like a pretty textbook case of Stockholm syndrome, if applied to society and expectations. Do they have to work? Nope. If they live leaner, they needen't work another day in the rest of their lives. If they have hobbies

Yeah, effectively, disabling sudo and setting root's shell to /bin/false does a good job in locking the system down. Except for root exploits.

There's your first problem. You had a shitty contract that isn't paying you for billable hours. If you quit paying me, or on net 30, you will pay for the work I've done. And if you don't, I'll take your ass to c
