That is only good for the company if your notion of company ignores the needs of one faction of people (those who generate value) and prioritises the needs of another group (those who extract value). If we are going to have malicious and in

It will be interesting. As we've seen, capitalism has constantly driven itself in to crisis with those at the top always managing to protect themselves. Maybe the rest of us will get a chance to insulate ourselves from our own incompet

Yeah my experience is people who have nothing contribute tend to make frenzied efforts to LARP as people who do something. Often creating needless busy work for others, or creating constant messes for others to deal with. Usually those peop

Now we're just dunking on people who think the purpose of the economy is (ought to be) to connect idle hands with needed work? Instead, we're lamenting that a company should "at least be trying" to pump more sewage into

The downside, Rabois said, was that the new hires just had to "be entitled, sit at their desks, and do nothing." "There's nothing for these people to do —it's all fake work. Now that's being exposed, what do th

So they are going to have to form an "ex-twitter" union if they want to get together to organize their fight to get from twitter what is owed to them. Woulda saved a lot of time if they'd have organized before all this happen

man, from my memory, if you were getting 250, you were incredibly lucky and probably lived close to the exchange :) 300-350 was more the norm for where i was.

So you're saying that in order to avoid the "elitist" nightmare world of "just play with your friends, and people you trust" and "normal people are never going to want to be able to run their own servers!"

I think first para of this is not quite right. If there is a monthly payment, it's weolse not jeonse. And the large deposit is bojeunggeum (key money). The larger it is, the lower the rent, typically on a standard scale (eg. every $10k

A guy with a net worth of $800m describes HIS workers that HE hired as "entitled" because they want decent working conditions. It's like listening to narcissistic parents calling their own children "spoiled" because

You've hit the nail on the head, and this is, I think, why the media types do not like it. And, honestly, if you look at the "anti-musk" "left-wing" journalists who are on there. All they seem to do is complain that

Bootlickers gonna lick. There's a reason tech is seen as the job that's "too plum to unionize." We are the most aligned with the beliefs and values of management and capital. We wouldn't have our nice jobs if we wer

I think a lot of people got caught up in a sort of mass mania induced by media portrayals of a billionaire genius with a mission to change the world for the better. Recent events have just given people permission to climb down from the coll

Car-free living doesn't imply the total eradication of all cars. It just means reducing dependency on them to a bare minimum: ie. those uses which cannot possibly be replaced. The former is something that literally nobody has ever prop
