You're still benefiting from their work and effort. There's far more to a work than simply the cost to reproduce. That's why it's not debatable.

If that's true, then the government should be paying these people to produce the content. Otherwise you're saying that poor people are entitled to content for free, without the creator getting anything.

Not really. Unless you feel entitled to the work of others.

If your company is that tight when it comes to developer tools, maybe you should consider alternate employment.

Have they? Where have they said that?

Do you have anything that says that's specifically what happens? Cause their FAQ says that when your subscription expires, you can continue using the last version that was released when your sub expired.

The only one of those that has anything remotely approaching reality is being born in the US, or another first world country. Had he been born somewhere in undeveloped 3rd world, or somewhere torn apart by war, we likely would not be talkin

Your thing isn't demonstrably the case either. In fact, a lot of what led him to create facebook was pure coincidental luck.

That's according to a post earlier in the thread from the guy I presume is from JetBrains. It's also similar to the license Epic had for Unreal Engine, before they got rid of the monthly fee.

It says right on the pricing page that it's still $49/year for people who currently have a license.

According to the post you replied to, if you decide to cut back on the tools budget, you could still continue using the version that was released on the last day of your subscription. You just wouldn't get updates.

What're you gonna switch to? Depending on the product, there aren't a whole lot of good alternatives.

The license seems to say that if you stop paying, you can still use the most recent version as of when your subscription expired. So technically you could subscribe for one month, get the software, and keep using it until you saw a version

I do not see how labor laws are not good for employees. Unless you're an apologist who says that unless we let employers fuck people over, they won't bless us with their benevolence and jobs.

None of that matters if Uber is not adhering to labor laws.

by s73v3r 11y ago
So basically you're saying that if they didn't cheat, they wouldn't be where they are? I'm not seeing anything in your post that justifies them ignoring labor laws.

Because screw people who want to be treated fairly, right? All they should care about is making their employer more money.
528.
by s73v3r 11y ago
Yup. Fuck people who want to be treated fairly. Profits are more important, amirite?

No. I don't care if they don't have to drive for Uber or not. That does not mean Uber gets to ignore employment law.

Learn some empathy for people who, unlike you, were not born on second base. Wages have stagnated for working class people for decades. People are having to work two jobs to make ends meet. Are you honestly suggesting that these people are

People make six figures outside of SV. But people in the midwest are not going to make six figures right out of school.

Having a moderately wealthy family increases the speed at which #2 will come, if it comes at all. Someone who's working two jobs to make ends meet is likely never going to be able to get to #2.

"If you can't follow someone who leads through vision, why aren't you starting your own gig, with your own vision?" Cause working for a company offers health insurance. Starting my own doesn't give me that.

Is it that unique of a product? It's just payment processing. It's done quite well, but it's not as if they're the first to do payment processing on the internet.
