Hey, great idea! Yeah, I'm with Cox, so I'll just switch over to... umm... I'll switch to... Shit.

Stories like this really, really make me question my opposition to violence. Some of these people seem like they won't listen to their constituents without some alternative persuasion. And that's sad.

That's too many words. Simply tell them that if they don't do something to stop this, that they will not be able to count on your support at the next election.

Because it will make my shares in those ISPs go up a quarter of a point!

"This isn't about opposing privacy." I cannot accept that statement at face value. Supporting this is absolutely about opposing privacy. You are supporting a move whose only purpose is to lessen privacy. "There is a reas

The 9th Circuit one was not a decision on the EO itself, rather the temporary restraining order that the judge in Seattle placed on the EO while arguments were heard to determine its legality.

Why does everyone insist on comparing the jerk to junior developers? Why does everyone insist that, in order to avoid jerks, you can't hire talent? There are plenty of good, talented people who are not jerks.

Can't the same advice be given to the jerk? Grow up and stop being a jerk? And really, if we're in the business of shipping working things on time, do you think it's a good idea to keep someone on who's going to bring do

This is just a strawman. No one is suggesting that you should hire mediocre people instead.

Please don't. Our industry is already full enough of assholes who saw part of the Steve Jobs movie and started to think that management is all about berating or "negging" people so they do what you want.

That argument makes absolutely no sense. The candidate had made it to the point where they're being interviewed by the CEO. Any consideration of that has long since passed.

I'm sorry, but that's nothing but FUD. Tell me exactly why those projects would be unable to integrate.

I live in California too, and it's not a pain at all for me.

You can't add proprietary bits to their system without contributing those bits back so everyone can have them. Boo hoo.

True, but the people who can pass up the big pile of money generally already have their own pile of money.

Step 1 to ending your singleness: STOP WORKING SO DAMN MUCH. Seriously. You said it yourself, you don't have time for anything else. Stop giving your employer so much free work. Take your time back, and use that extra 20 to 30 hours fo

I can't agree with saying that trying to sell something for more than it cost you is "irrational"

Yes. The right paid many people to try and drum up support for Betsy DeVos's confirmation.

Seriously? Did you not watch the Trump campaign or what he's done in office at all? Have you not seen the reports from the press briefings in which his advisors go on TV and claim things that are demonstrably false?

I reject the prominence that most people place on them. I reject the idea that they're as common as some people want to make it seem. And I reject the use of them as an excuse while offering no evidence at all that it happened.

by st3v3r 10y ago
I'm sorry, but do you have any evidence for this? Or that it happened here?

This isn't anything new; apparently SpaceX is the same way. It's why I don't want to go work for an Elon Musk company. I have respect for myself, and it seems like you have to be willing to undercut yourself to work there.

Not entirely. The seller is still going to factor in their costs when deciding what to sell something for.

It is a requirement of the State of California to be able to sell insurance in that state. It is independent of any federal regulation, or any other state's regulations.

Your post once again goes to the extremely flawed and inaccurate "If people aren't going to pay, then your thing is not good" thought, which has been proven false time and time again.

""Pepsi and Coke" are multibillion dollar commodity consumer brands - and have absolutely nothing to do with this." Really? They're "established and entrenched products." I think they're a pretty good

If it's fundable, then what would it actually do? Presumably we're past the point where anything with a .com in the name gets showered in VC money.

Ok, I am calling for a ban on the "maybe there could be a startup that solves the problem?" style comments without at least trying to flesh out how they would actually do that.

"There's no need for a sales and marketing team for a very well established and entrenched product." So should I go tell Pepsi and Coke that they're wasting their money? Plus, while Octave is an established project, ther

Have you been on the internet for a while? You know that anything someone can get without paying for it, most people will go for it. Pirating video games, torrenting movies, music, ad blockers, etc. And honestly, this idea of perfect merito
