Stop being deliberately obtuse. We don't want companies using their leverage to change city regulations, even if it's something we agree with.

Because regardless of the reasons why, most of their engineers are going to drive. And not being able to find a parking spot would put many of them in a crappy mood, which would hurt productivity. Yes, it would be great if people didn'

Apple already offers busses to their current campus, and I can't imagine those would go away when they move. Still, not being able to find a parking spot in the morning is going to irritate a lot of people, and tank productivity.

I have to imagine he wouldn't be going back unless he felt he could do something to improve the company's fortunes. It'll be interesting to see if he does have something up his sleeve.

Not the same thing at all. Have sex somewhere that's not the office. It's honestly not hard.

Funny story: Dan Lyons, a writer for Silicon Valley and the author of the book Disrupted, about his experiences working at the high tech startup HubSpot, said that he had pitched many things that he personally saw during his time there. He

At the same time, this environment puts pressure on people to engage in these activities, and that can lead to harassment. Honestly, it is not that difficult to leave that stuff outside the office.

Lack of separation between personal and professional life. One of the things Silicon Valley companies have been working on doing for a while is blurring the lines between work and not work.

I would say there is tons to learn about this. For one, if your startup starts to grow, don't do what the people in this story did. Try to make your workplace culture have a modicum of decency.

"Question: Is that what Stallman intended to accomplish with the GPL? Pay a fee for GPL source code and bypass the GPL? (I apologize for my ignorance here.)" Probably not. Although from what I've seen, he was rather short on

They can't become popular if they're difficult to buy.

That's true, but ordinary employees will have a perspective that founders usually just can't see, usually due to their biases. As such, it'd be better to take in the perspectives of both, to paint a more complete picture.

And I do. I fail to see any kind of "good" that this could fall under.

I don't care if they believe they're a force for good or not. They're still being shitty, and they should be shat on. "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

I think that kind of comparison is just silly.

So Trump basically just doesn't want anyone to come to the US?

If someone hasn't realized by now that saying something like that is unacceptable, I have to call into question their critical thinking skills.

Unfortunately, how do you think they got there? Stifling dissent.

You know, it's honestly not that hard to not discriminate like this. I mean, I tend to do it all day. So why can't they?

I guess, as long as you're not working in the department that has this implemented.

At first? Maybe not. But once you have that kind of power, it's hard to give up.

Check again. It's not the same Visual Studio that's on Windows. It's just a rebadged Xamarin Studio.

It's not really VS on Mac, though. It's just a rebadged Xamarin Studio. I can't really call that amazing.

Said the guy who said we shouldn't do a thing for people displaced by automation. If that's the case, and they're unable to get jobs elsewhere, what else should we do with them? Just leave them to starve on their own?

What's more likely is that the founders and investors would take the payout, and the workers would get nothing. And I extremely doubt the ability of a startup to do any kind of worthwhile count of people outside of major metropolitan a

It should be noted that the Director of the FBI serves a 10 year term, specifically to avoid the "serving at the pleasure of the President" item.

Trump has proven he doesn't give a damn about privacy, either.

Dems were calling for Comey to be fired when he commented on the Clinton investigation. If Trump truly was swayed by that, he would have fired Comey at the beginning of his term. The timing of the firing is incredibly fishy.

If that were true, he should have been fired in January. Why was he fired now?
