Why do I care that they "took a risk", though? All I see is that I'm busting my ass, they're laying on a beach, and they're getting more than me.

It's not going to be "everyone gets nothing", because most of the employees have other options open to them. But why am I busting my ass, working those long hours, while you're not, and you're still going to get mor

"That big chunk of profits comes from the fact that you took the initial risk" And why do any of the current employees care about that? All they see right now is you sitting on your ass while they're the ones doing the actual

You're being paranoid.

How is that nuts? It's pre-release software, which is subject to change. Why would you submit a patch to fix an issue which might change all over again before it's released? Seriously, if this is your bar for being nuts, then I&#x

There's also the roads which allow you to get from point A to point B which are subsidizing you, and there's the federal gas subsidy which is also subsidizing your lifestyle. And if the city proper really did nothing for you, then

It's definitely a chicken and egg problem. Part of why these office parks are rotting is that no one really wants to be there, usually due to the fact that there's nothing there.
759.
by s73v3r 11y ago
The office parks are still out in the middle of nowhere with nothing around them for errand running or stuff to eat at lunch besides a McDonalds.

I want both. I want to live and work in a cool place. Especially if it means I don't have to commute.

The traffic and parking problems are there due to the lack of public transit, which is in part due to the spending of transportation funds on subsidizing you in the suburbs instead of building public transit.

The key word in your statement is "drive". I don't want to drive. I want to walk/bike. Driving means I have to get gas, I have to deal with traffic, and I have to find a place to park. I don't want to do any of that

Usually that means you get a fat paycheck. And far more resources than you had before.

No, it's not the truth. There is absolutely nothing correlating entrepreneurship with not being able to insure yourself or your family. The only reason that is right now is because the startup culture is filled with 20 somethings right

by s73v3r 11y ago
That's an extremely terrible answer that really only serves to diminish the diversity of startup culture.

It's my understanding that the grant should be used on the business, not necessarily the incomes of the people working on it.

If I have the dreaded "Pre-Existing Condition!", somehow I doubt that would work.
768.
by s73v3r 11y ago
But does that include situations in which you quit your job to do something like this?

by s73v3r 11y ago
Right, but the COBRA premiums could easily eat up a significant chunk of that grant.

Any mention of health insurance, or other things like that? One of the biggest reasons people do go to work for large companies instead of starting their own business is things like that. Without them, you're really only targeting the

It's not debatable; there are plenty of companies that do it already.
772.
by s73v3r 11y ago
If that was the question, then these companies would be lobbying to get rid of those regulations. Far too many of them see their ignoring of regulations to be a competitive edge.

I don't think so. Remember, this is the same crowd who constantly is bombarded with recruiter spam seeking people who are "passionate" about development.

If that's the case, then isn't it part of the 5% that actually warrants a meeting?

Wouldn't the burden of proof be on those asserting that someone who commits one violent crime needs to be put away so they won't commit more?
776.
by s73v3r 11y ago
Is there any evidence that one violent act means that a person will likely commit more?

Nobody cares about your "personal responsibility" concern trolling. At the end of the day, you either simply want to punish, or you're actually interested in figuring out the problem.

by s73v3r 11y ago
What about contractors? Interns?

by s73v3r 11y ago
Which ignores things like design, planning, and testing.

by s73v3r 11y ago
What about design and testing? Now you're excluding people who aren't devs.
