"Invisible hand is something I trust far more than anything else to guide the society." And I don't. The invisible hand has said that the Kardashians are more valuable than teachers. So to me, any argument that says the &quot

You said, "let their salaries increase". HOW? If the district doesn't have the budget, the salary isn't going to increase. Just like any business, they're not going to be able to pay out money they don't have.

No, you didn't. You proposed using the "invisible hand of the free market". I told you why most of us wouldn't trust that idea.

Forging the Wells Fargo transfers is a crime. I don't believe you can use an NDA to stop someone from reporting a crime.

What would be the point? Would you want to continue working for someone who would pull that crap? Would you have any kind of confidence in a company run by someone who would pull that crap?

"What you propose is to guide society by deliberately lowering the pay of teachers and nurses " No, I'm not. So your response has lost all credibility right there.

Technically it's true. But reality says that it's highly unlikely, and so it's just as good to say that you can't declare bankruptcy on them. The odds that you will be able to discharge them are incredibly low.

Yes, because everyone has that perfect negotiating power to do so. There are no school districts that are struggling or can only afford to pay so much for teachers, and hospitals that can't afford higher salaries for nurses. The "

They've already had several chances to better themselves. They haven't, and so they don't deserve another chance.

The employee isn't the one who made the choice to defraud people. The employer did. Hence, the employer has all responsibility for what they did.

And yet, 90% of the money is still inside SV.

Yeah, but shouldn't all 10 steps be "find a new job"?

Then set it up when you start hiring people. There is absolutely no excuse for not doing this. None.
856.
by st3v3r 10y ago
No, this is huge. Paystubs are a major thing. And if you can't get the money operating, then you shouldn't be hiring people. And if you are, you should be up front about it. You are NOT entitled to people working for you for free,

Legal standard. This isn't a court of law. By your logic, if a friend asked me about working for a place, I shouldn't be able to tell them my experiences, because that would be "vigilante justice." The company needs to b

No. None of the fault whatsoever lies with the employee. None. Thus, your example is one of classic victim blaming, which is completely abhorrent.

by st3v3r 10y ago
They'll say something about being able to leave, but completely ignoring the situation being extremely stressful and scary. Victim blaming and a complete lack of empathy will ensue.

Why was the company not named? Everyone needs to be warned against working with these scumbags, both employees and clients. I hope the state prosecutes the hell out of them, and the founders are left living under a bridge.

For one, I honestly don't care if you cease to be racist or not. I don't want that crap around my site. Go be racist somewhere else if you really feel the need to, but don't drive away my users with your poorly thought out cr

Reports lead to those people getting killed. And the reporters absolutely should bear some responsibility when they report someone simply for being black in the wrong neighborhood.

by st3v3r 10y ago
The reporter does carry some blame, for assuming that a black person is automatically suspicious.

Not really. Pointing out racist behavior is not racist.

"Writing the code with the assumption that a key will change is on the same level with premature optimization, in my opinion." Considering how easy it is, and how often I've had keys change on me, I have to strongly disagree.

It's not a failure. And I'd say those who poured their effort into the company should be entitled to some part of the purchase price, more so than people who's only contribution was money.

No. None of this is an excuse for getting fucked.

But the business got bought. That's not being not successful.

If they don't trust you enough to keep that information confidential, then why are they extending an offer to you at all?

by st3v3r 10y ago
But there's a difference between changing it once when you serialize/deserialize it, and changing it every time you try to access the key.
