Many of their potential customers would also benefit from increased wages as well though, so while you may have to drop the services, there are potentially many others who are now willing to purchase it.

I mean obviously, it would be better to just let them die in the street. Then there would be no more poor people, right?

To summarize: Union Pros: Job safety, real cost of living increases, pension/retirement opportunity, some protection from unfair hiring/promotion practices. Union Cons: Silly emails?

Are you arguing that, because other industries also face exploitation, we should not be concerned about it in software development? Just because there are others who have it even worse doesn't mean that we should ignore exploitation in

The thing is, most laws already do this. They are proposed to affect some specific situation which has already occurred (like laws in response to online bullying, etc). The problem isn't that laws are just passed randomly without a spe

People make mistakes. Every piece of software ever written has bugs: I don't think that means everyone's process is rotten. It just means they are human.

While I can see huge ethical concerns were this project related to the NSA, I don't think you can necessarily force that association here. While I agree with your frustration with the administration, especially with regards to surveill

I dont have a link, but I know the paper you are referring to (and have found it to be true to my own real life experience). Congrats to the author for using that as motivation to keep up writing.

If FB hired them for the team, though, there's no reason to keep the app around. Those people would be moved into new roles and the app would be sunset.

It doesnt really matter what he thinks, the evidence and the lobbying by the biggest H1B consumers suggests that it is very worth it.

It's also not an opinion borne out by facts. Many children grow up with single parents and somehow manage to live healthy, balanced lives. Many children of gay couples also are well-adjusted and do very well for themselves. While havin

This wasn't like donating to a politician who you agree with one on issue, who happens to have other views that you might not. He donated to a campaign with a singular goal, opposing equal rights for gay people. Hatred isn't a wor

If the opinion you're expressing is hateful and akin to calling fellow humans second hand citizens, then yes, you should probably censor that. Really, you should better yourself, but if not, then you probably want to be careful about m

This is like suggesting that, if Mozilla were a big supporter of child slavery, it would be fine, because that's not their market. Suggesting that anything an organization does or represents outside of their core market is irrelevant t

Engineers are doing well, for sure. But compared to the profits of Google and Apple and their executives, engineer salaries are a joke. And yet, these cartels did not help to support the HR lady who lost her job, but instead served to furth

How about send them to a psychiatric hospital which is equipped to deal with their situation, rather than locking them in a box? If someone is so mentally unstable that they cant handle the human contact of prison gen pop, maybe a psychiatr

If you look at it from a more negative perspective though, lobbying for more H1-B visas is an even more effective way to decrease engineer compensation, because you can reduce your salaries further by increasing the pressure on US engineers

Just to play devil's advocate, I'm not sure your answer to number 2 is relevant. Sure, the US probably has the best ecosystem for starting a country, but why would that lead to the idea that the US should let anyone who wants come

I scored very well on the SAT's back in 2001 or so (better than 700 on each section) with no prep. I dont think anything on there was beyond the reach of a normal HS student. I went to public HS and took no advanced math or english cla

I would tend to agree. I mean, the point of those government programs is to encourage private investment in clean energy technology. I would say that Musk is basically the prime example of what the programs are designed to support. I would

I dont think its really that different of a phenomenon. Item a) is a lot extrapolating item b) to everyone who doesn't share your race. Also, its completely possible to be racist against members of your own race, which still qualifies

Do we actually have an exhaustive list of wallets controlled by Mt Gox though? That would seem like difficult to obtain and likely proprietary info they would not want to reveal.

You do realize that django is MVC, but that templates are not the C right? Their naming convention is kinda terrible, but the M is the models (obviously), the V is the templates (the "views") and the C is the views.py file (this i

It makes me wonder if, as the article stated, its possible that the standards they are looking for are only really possible by very expensive studies funded by the industries they are supposed to study. Then again, given all the other nasty

If you noticed though, the article constantly referenced the ability of both consumers and merchants to NOT possess any actual bitcoins. The actual bitcoin is so volatile, not to mention the gold-standard-like deflationary nature of them, t
