This is not a valid rebuttal. Slavery and selling drugs are nowhere near the same thing, and by equating the two, you do a massive disrespect to those who fought for that. Slavery is a civil rights issue; selling drugs is not.

I don't see how this is not unsubstantive. The story is about someone arrested for running an illegal drug market. My suggestion was to just not do that.

Then work to get it repealed. But I can't have any sympathy for you if you decide to start up a drug selling store, and then get busted for doing something you knew at the time was illegal.

It's still not. And I am entirely in favor of getting those people help instead of locking them away. But we're talking about those that set up the stores. They're clearly not helping any of those addicts. And they make a ver

"sure, but what is actually wrong with drug use?" I don't care; that's not what's being debated here. The fact of the matter is, it's illegal, and anyone who sets up a drug marketplace today knows that. They se

Or, you know, just don't do illicit things.

That sounds awful. It seriously makes me physically mad when I think of how entitled these companies are, that they feel they can demand the vast majority of your time during the day, making you sacrifice the ability to be with your family

Which will then be shut down by the ISP, as the new site won't have enough money to pay the toll. I'm sorry, but this argument that "everything will work out for the better" isn't convincing me.

If you're that paranoid, perhaps you shouldn't have a phone at all.

by s73ver 9y ago
If you have sensitive stuff on your phone. I don't. I have pictures of my balding head, and that's about it.

by s73ver 9y ago
No. It is not. It is an unfounded paranoia spread to justify letting ISPs run rampant with our rights.

by s73ver 9y ago
No, they really are not. "Economic incentives" only come into play when there are choices. Most people do not have any kind of choice in their ISP, thus the "Economic incentives" argument carries no water.

1. I care more about my ability to access the internet than any startup's ability to do business. 2. If NN is thrown out, and pay to play becomes the name of the game, who do you think is going to be able to pay? Google, Amazon, Netfli

Please do not spread unfounded conspiracy theories here. There is absolutely nothing to back up that position.

Because most of us are not laissez faire people, and we absolutely do care, because in order for FB to deliver that, other things, potentially competing things, would have to be slowed down.

The problem for them is they have a slim margin. And there's disagreement between cutting healthcare a little bit for the moderates, or completely slashing it for the hardcore.

So question: Google, Facebook, Netflix, et al all say that Net Neutrality is extremely important to their business. Why are they not drowning legislators in lobbying and "campaign contributions" to make sure it stays? I mean, they

"Clinton lost because the DNC cheated to get her where she was in the first place" They absolutely did not. There was absolutely no evidence of such things happening. There was no mass conspiracy. Seriously, more Democrats wanted

"So now assume they test and find it doesn't work on mobile Firefox. What should they do?" Fix it, just like any other website out there.

by s73ver 9y ago
Right. But as a nefarious employee, that's Google's problem. By the time it comes to light, I'm already off laying on a beach in a country without an extradition treaty.

"Reserving the conversation around pricing until after you are in contact with a sales person is often helpful, because these products do have very different capabilities." Which you can easily list, with the prices next to them.

I've never been able to take seriously the argument that anything Apple is "just marketing", and I'm not about to now.

by s73ver 9y ago
However, I do think you'd be hard pressed to claim that Google does not have the resources to test and make sure that it does work on mobile Firefox.

Right now, which do you value more? It's entirely possible that, in the near future, a competitor will show up that won't make you choose between the two. However, that time is not now.

Meh. I'd either have to do all the business crap, which I have no interest in doing, or I'd have to pay someone to do it, which would get rid of those profits.

At the same time, I'm glad this doesn't happen with the federal reserve, because I enjoy stable value in my day to day currency.

"- it is not a workers market - if it had been, incomes would not have stagnated" In general, no. But in terms of software engineering, it very much is.

No, they'd be redefining it to something more analogous to the real world.

If they're going out and getting outside offers, that means they don't believe they can come to you and ask for a salary adjustment.

"If the employee is only motivated by money" One thing employers need to realize is that this is 95% of jobs. I'm not a developer solely for money. But I am a developer at your company mainly because of money. I would have to
