Those problems exist no matter who the victim is. So your "solution" doesn't help anyone except for big businesses.

You're depriving people of a legal remedy, so you are de facto making it ok. So why do you want to make it ok to discriminate depending on the job title? Why are some people not deserving of the same protections as others?

Yet, you've stated you don't want to allow certain people to file these lawsuits, which are usually the only way of trying to correct the problem. So tell me, why is it ok to deprive some people of this remedy simply because of th

I'm sorry, but only someone with absolutely no appreciation of historical context would ask such a silly question.

It kinda is.

by st3v3r 10y ago
So tell me, what exact dollar amount do you need to make where discrimination against you is ok?
727.
by st3v3r 10y ago
That's a pretty silly distinction. Why should one's job title determine whether or not they can be discriminated against?

What companies have ever given you severance if you quit? I've never worked at a place where I'd get anything more than a "See ya!" if I quit.

No. Stop trying to blame others for your company being silly.

Because interviewers are more likely to be condescending to someone they don't respect, and many of them don't respect women. Yes, this stuff happens to many people, not just women. But it happens to them on an alarmingly regular

It's crucial because people can die. That is not something you can say with someone's code being written this exact second. There is always time to research, test, experiment, and change.

"So let's pay attention shall we?" There's no way you're going to have a productive conversation if you're going to be a condescending ass like that.

"Appeal to popularity, almost all life does all sorts of things that we don't condone or have decided is suboptimal." Sure it does. But eating is not one of those things. And you're going to have to do a lot better than

No, it's that your company is CHOOSING not to use it.

So then the startup needs to get by with what it's got and earn money until they can afford it. Just like everyone else does with literally everything else.

I dunno about that. Is it ethically correct to get people to work for a company who's prospects for remaining viable are not steady?
737.
by st3v3r 10y ago
"yeah. RethinkDB is AGPL, which means that some people cannot use it" No, it means some people CHOOSE not to use it. There is nothing stopping them from deciding to use it, other than their own fears.

At the same time, you're arguing that you should be able to take the work they've done, add to it, but not give back, despite having received a HUGE base to start with.

So fraudulent behavior doesn't fit under that?

Head over to /r/androiddev sometime. You'll see constant wailing and gnashing of teeth from people because Google banned their account or sent them a warning over their app.

"I don't trust Apple to have my best interests at heart." Then don't buy their device.

"... but Apple just randomly removes apps that people have purchased from the Apple Store (thus stealing their money and their product, doing everything short of uninstalling it, but preventing reinstallation), and the EU stays silent?

Not having to enter my credit card info for every mom 'n pop out there that I may or may not trust completely is a HUGE plus.

I mean, wouldn't the line about Google apply to any of the other Android OEMs?

"google has never sold a phone directly." They've sold the Nexus phones directly for quite a while now.

While that's part of your every day routine, I think you'd have to agree that a lot of that is pretty niche.

But it sounds like the core apps on iOS work the way they want them to, whereas the alternatives on Android are all lacking. So being able to change is a nice option, but if you don't use it, doesn't really add much.

Isn't that what they were doing for a while? And then Intel slipped the date on the Kaby Lake chips?

I honestly cannot trust that. With all of the abuses the police have pulled off over the years when it comes to this sort of thing, I cannot trust them. They do not deserve the benefit of the doubt.
