I would say that actual, continued support is an incentive to update.

Still requires effort and testing, which might not be worthwhile.

As a developer, I wouldn't think this would be good. Mainly because I wouldn't have had tested the app on alternative platforms, and people would give bad reviews when it doesn't work, despite me never making the claim that i

I refuse to believe that encouraging people to not be assholes to each other, and to not shit on people sharing their stories is "sanitizing".

I would say proficiency makes motivation even more critical, because proficient people know they can go wherever they want, so they're less inclined to put up with bullshit.

This is just silly. Without PR, how would you have known this paper was published?

Have you actually used the support numbers?

Volunteer programs? No, not at all. But this is NOT a volunteer program. It is supposed to be a way to better bid out government work, which I will point out is very much not charity.

What? No it's not. If anything, it's the opposite of that. There is no way this guy could survive on that little money.

No, it's not. "I can do it cheaper" implies that I can get my costs down lower. "I can do it for free" means that I'm ignoring any of my costs.

Are you going to pay their moving bills? Are you going to guarantee them a job when they get there? If not, then quit acting like it's the solution.

Keep in mind that the other ~27% of people who are not "employed" also includes retired persons, students, stay at home parents, disabled people who are not able to work, in addition to people who have just given up on job seeking

"Luckily the scenario of "employers wield all the power" you describe is so far from reality as to be irrelevant. In theory, employees need a job but they don't need this job. Turning it down is and taking a different jo

"Richer person already gives more to the society than the poor one" Richer person also received orders of magnitude more from society than the poor one. "taxing the rich guy with higher taxes is just a way of making them guil

I fail to see how deliberately not doing something with a resource makes anything more efficient.

Initial money for stuff has to come from somewhere, and usually it's not the first customer.

It has not been shown that higher labor costs raise prices a significant amount. During the debate over Seattle raising wages, it was shown that increased wages would add very little to the cost of fast food meals.

""whatever strikes my fancy" is very likely not something we need to survive on this planet as a species." So? Neither is what 99% of companies are doing.

Sounds like they need to do something smarter to earn more money, rather than just working longer hours, which is probably having a very negative impact on the work they're doing.

The problem is, most of the work that sucks also has pay that sucks.

"The standing assumption here is that it is obviously Right and Good for everyone to have a job and work and that the Government must, at all costs, do everything in its power to create jobs so that everyone can work." Yes, it is.

Until something significant happens, and not just a slap on the wrist, my statement is the accurate one.

It's not absurd. Just because the law lets you do something does not mean that you should, or that doing so is morally right.

Tabs in Xcode have been around for a while.

That's a different situation. Listen, its extremely clear: If you don't want to act like an adult and support the stuff you're charging money for, then don't charge money for it. Don't hide behind this bullshit of &

Nobody gives a shit that it's a "side project". They paid good money to you for it. If it really was half baked, then why the fuck are you taking money for it in the first place. "I'm not against letting your users

That's not a valid comparison. I bought your software with the expectation that it would continue to work, even if I wasn't continuing to pay you.

Until we actually see punishment happen, and happen to the level where this behavior would be discouraged in the future, you cannot say that it is a non-issue.

by s73v3r 11y ago
How can you say it's a non-issue when it's the exact thing that we've brought up as concerns? Especially when there's plenty of evidence that, not only does this happen, but it would happen more if the cap was removed?

The wage violations are in no way a separate issue.
