In any other kind of social/business arrangement he would be politely but firmly escorted out, possibly by security, for this kind of behavior. Being right or wrong is irrelevant.

If there is a comparison that is unfair, it's the one you just made between physical and mental work.

Yeah, and the whole web app industry is a scam, actual bandwidth cost is like a penny. And servers are even cheaper in Russia. (Personally, I run my website on a shared php host for about $1) -- Snarkiness aside, it's surprising to see

Being suspicious or cautious, particularly considering the amount of people expressing the same sentiment in the comments, is not a knee-jerk reaction.

It's interesting that I'm on exactly the other side - it seemed halfway interesting until I realized there's some kind of cryptocurrency involved (and only figured that out while reading this comment). The org stuff looks int

Yeah, going through life using sociology / anthropology / psychology experiments as a moral compass sounds like something a well adjusted person would do.

I'm not sure what your issue is (and how it's connected with the op's claim that 99% of foreign aid is lost along the way to the people that need it). But either way, from the graphic you linked it seems like on average, more

I'm not sure that true. As in - not true at all, unless you really want to believe it to be true. No, 70% of foreign aid is not 'stolen off the top' http://www.politifact.com/global-news/statements/2

I get where you're coming from, but you could say the same thing about software purchased on any app store, your mobile phone and a bunch of other things.

What are these folks thinking? Bring Travis back. And people accuse me of being over-dramatic when i tell them the tech sector is morally bankrupt.

You're right - no one will believe that you are asking this in good faith, because people can read words.

So what you're saying is, in your "relevant" scenario, you would discriminate based on gender for a hiring decision.

You don't pay your doctor $75 for sticking a needle in your arm, you pay him for his knowledge not to stick the needle in the wrong place. Looks like we've got full circle considering this same logic was applied to devs for ages.

Can't help but wonder, would you call startup investors "pieces of trash" in the event of a bubble popping? What if they asked the government for assistance, would they be actual pieces of trash then? What if it was the web d

What about the possibility that if someone is being a douchebag, blaming their shitty behaviour on the "bad at social skills" strawman is not an excuse any more (or ever was).

This is actually the worst an internet comment can be - no real insight, judgemental, thinly veiled insults and accusations, excusing bad ethics for business sense, bad tempered and rude. What new platforms need, is less of this . I have n

Your opinion on the Sandy Hook shooting makes everything coming out of your mouth suspect at best.

The three tiers scheme sounds interesting, this way each dev would be paid according to their ability, and would be able to get work according to their needs. I think this could be a pretty revolutionary concept as far as work goes, and wha

That's great, but no. I can argue that they shouldn't break the law. The penalty is irrelevant.

Good to know it's up to you to pick and choose which laws inconvenience you, I mean which laws are there to make those fat cats at the city office the big bucks.

Sure, let's say that. Let's say I have, for all practical purposes, infinite money. And every single day I park outside your house, in a way that it blocks your parking garage. And I do that illegally, knowing it's illegal, a

You're advocating for wealth being over the law. I don't see how you can feel that this is not a big problem.

Hah, what a joke. Leif GW Persson is famous for writing books and being on tv shows - not for being a crime professor (and he is no longer a professor of criminology). There's a reason googling his name comes up with breitbart first, a

That's a great excuse for making a semi-totalitarian government mouthpiece look like it's credible news.

That's a big list of credible, impartial news sources, like breitbart, youtube user in high standing "fryt", and the express. Why don't you tell us how you really feel?
