How would that be any different?

We are capturing value for those users. Those users have decided beforehand, though, that they don't want to pay up front for their apps to realize this value. So they have to pay in another way.

A for profit company isn't benefiting from those activities, though. I can easily see a situation where a less than scrupulous company brings in a bunch of candidates to do this in order to get free labor.

I dunno. If you're not going to care enough about your employees to give them the best possible tools, why do I want to work there again?

You could give them some mild spaghetti, and ask how they'd try to improve the code. I think one reason why what you did doesn't happen more often, though, is because they wouldn't have the freedom to reimplement in a languag

That's not true at all. Business doesn't want to have to actually compete for it's employees, that's it.

They still allow you to judge the capability of those working on them. And in the US at least, you're not supposed to have interns working on something you'd otherwise have a regular, full time employee on. The whole keeping compa

"I do appreciate it when a candidate has a list of questions related to things that are important to them. In my experience though, that is exceedingly rare - at least with engineers." It's rare because in our experience, thi

"Seriously, stand-up isn't supposed to be about accounting for your time" And yet, in most places, it devolves into just that. "In my (very positive) experience, stand-up is about maintaining situational awareness in the

So you're saying it's even worse than them being clueless?

I do not buy that for a second. And even if true, why is it my concern that they can't afford it? Why should I have to make up for they're shortcomings?

How do open plan offices facilitate communicating if everyone is wearing headphones with music cracked up all day? And if you're promoting WFH, then pepper should be using something like email or chat, which means that open plan is unn

Why the Hell should such a contract be able to exist?

"Some people are willing to harm random third parties (shareholders)" Shareholders do this to employees all the time. So I cannot blame employees for not caring about the shareholders, when the shareholders have shown so much cont

It's the only way people like that can justify their own sociopathic behavior.

"It's a bit weird how the article paints this as a failure of the uncivil person" Because it is. If you're an asshole to me, why on earth would you expect that I want to help you? Or do anything more than the bare minimu

"Capitalism is the way it is and it's not right or wrong any more than a beaver building a dam." I disagree. Capitalism being the way it is doesn't mean that should be the end goal of society.

No, it isn't. Further, why is the company obligated to associate themselves with your filth? Do they not have the right to not be associated with it?

"There is a fair chance that people would be less inclined to create the interdependencies if there were no regulation." I don't buy that for a second.

by s73v3r 11y ago
I don't see how you can say that at all. One of the goals of making complex shit is to make it harder for people to tell what's going on. While there wouldn't be the incentive to hide from regulators, there absolutely still w

So they do think they're smart enough to not need it. And of course someone who "accepts the risk" assumes they're smart enough to not get caught up in it. Otherwise they wouldn't do it.

I'm sorry, but your last statement is idiotic. If they didn't trust them, then why did they use them?

"The regulatory burden of operating in the finance industry is overwhelming" That's not a reason in itself to not have it. I don't care if the rules are hard to follow. If you don't want to deal with them, go do som

If the only ones who were ever affected by things in those markets were the ones directly investing in them, you'd be right. As is, however, no man is an island, and problems in those markets tend to bleed out and people who have no co

It's not that these people don't know the known financial scams. These people think they're too smart to fall for them, and think that regulations are "for the weak."

Free speech is freedom from government censorship. A private company is not obligated to host your filth.

If you're one of the people who agree with the behavior of FPH and many of the more vile comments about the CEO, then you're part of the worst.

Is it good business? Or is it better business to have a clear policy over what is and is not allowed, and then enforce that?
