Not necessarily. We should also be trying to make sure that it isn't used as a cheap replacement for citizen labor.

Would it be fair for the candidate to not get the highest wage possible? I don't see how this problem is any different than trying to get non-immigrant labor. Company A is offering a significantly higher salary to a citizen than Compan

Yeah, just make something. And while you're at it, stop being so sad. Be awesome instead.

by st3v3r 10y ago
I don't see how. If you absolutely need that skill, then you need it, cost of living based salary be damned.

Opaque hiring practices are never good.

Everything is politics.

by st3v3r 10y ago
Probably because any discussion on here about that kind of stuff turns toxic pretty quickly.

You're making the assumption that they are more qualified.
369.
by st3v3r 10y ago
You've just shown your bias by assuming the less represented candidates are less qualified.

Like what? SourceTree works just about perfectly for me.

by st3v3r 10y ago
Why do you make these assumptions that they're well paid? And aren't VCs well compensated as well? In many cases taking the bulk of reward despite not doing any of the work?
372.
by st3v3r 10y ago
No, the entitled perspective here is that simply having money entitles you to the bulk of reward, and that a group of people who will not have negative consequences for a company going under is taking more risk than people who would be losi
373.
by st3v3r 10y ago
I don't buy that. Given that the VCs are not investing their own money, they have huge portfolios with many investments, and I'm investing something I can never get back: My time and energy, I'd say they're taking nowher

Really? Give me one example where it doesn't fuck over the employees? And don't say "they get to keep their jobs", cause if that's all that's needed for benefit, we might as well devalue the options to 1 cent,

No, it's not a non-issue. And once again, if the behavior that would normally be contained within the subreddit leaks out into other subreddits, what happens then? Cause your advice of "don't go there" fails.

by st3v3r 10y ago
I'm sorry, but I cannot agree with your point. A professional programmer should not value things being easy to use? What kind of fake machismo bullshit is that? I should want to take the hard way every time I do something?
377.
by st3v3r 10y ago
Good for you. The fact that so many don't have that experience means it's still a problem.

That whole "don't go to that section if you don't like it" works just fine if those things stay in their section. The problem is that they weren't staying in their section. Fat People Hate was known for going into o

There is always censorship on every platform. Always. If the platform itself is not moderating, then the abuse and harassment that naturally evolves will. People from marginalized communities will stay silent or avoid the platform out of fe

Really? How much of the founders share got sold? And how much of a say did he have in this happening? I see nothing but unfairness in this.
381.
by st3v3r 10y ago
Diluting shares should be straight out illegal. There is no reason for it other than fucking over employees. You know, the people who have actually worked to make the company a success.

So if you're not going to do it for the payout, which was the main reason to do it, then why do it? Why put yourself through the crap and the unpaid overtime and the stress and the subpar pay for the chance to make someone else rich?

Isn't the new MBP one of the best selling laptops of recent? And I'm honestly not seeing anything in the little blurb of an article that states concretely that this is happening in significant numbers.

There already are plenty of good platforms available. That's not the problem. The problem is that Ticketmaster/Live Nation have exclusivity with most artists and venues already.
386.
by st3v3r 10y ago
No, the reason they sell out in 30 seconds is because of cheating.
387.
by st3v3r 10y ago
The venues have no reason to want to deal with a new company.
388.
by st3v3r 10y ago
Ok? That doesn't really disagree with my point.

"Who's dream is it to perform a "relatively narrow set of repeated tasks" for 8 hours a day?" Someone who wants to provide for their families, not worry too much about work, and be able to enjoy their weekend? &quot

They seem trivial now, 20 some odd years after the fact.
