He was presumably making good money, so able to buy his own insurance? According to the article he was from Scottland, so presumably he would also have been eligible for care from the NHS, like every other UK citizen? Just because people or

Taking good care of employees and contractors can be in the company's interest, though. It's costly to lose them and having to hire new ones, and ex employees talking badly about a company also is not good. (I'd think, I don&

OMG - another one for the annals of ridiculous feminist claims: "The free nature of open source also leads to inequity. Open source is dominated by men, and people who don't have as much leisure time or stability might be less lik

Who has the right to make demands against FOSS developers? Have any FOSS developers been successfully sued and forced to implement something? Obviously they should be careful when picking the license, but with any of the standard licenses,

There are many commercial open source projects already, with developers who get paid. I don't quite get the moaning. If you are unhappy with FOSS, don't do it? Nobody is entitled to a FOSS developers time. But on the other hand, F

Suppose you are an elite that wants to control the global economy, and you hit upon the idea that a "Great Reset" would be necessary. How do you build a reset button? A "mild" pandemic seems like an interesting approach.

So full in cancel culture? Even if you want to support Ukraine, some things have certainly gone to far, like discriminating against anybody and anything with Russian origins (professor being told to not teach Dostojewski for example, as pos

Presumably the value of remote work is not the same, then.

Is this the new variation of value theory of labour? Workers are just market participants, competing with other workers. One way they can compete is by lowering their living costs, so that they can get by for less and afford to offer their

"There is an idle class of heirs and there is a working class. Being broke is in the context of these social relations." - that sounds as if you believe people who are "heirs" exploit the people who are not.

Are there seriously people who believe this bullshit? You think everybody who works only works for "heirs", and if there were no heirs, nobody would have to work? If nobody would work, billions of people would starve within weeks.
