My point is extracting the maximum value from people by paying them almost nothing because it "increases the GDP" isn't a moral imperative. It's absurd on its face to say that growth at any expense is ethical because of…

I hope everyone realizes this is code for "police can rape sex workers without repercussions". Which is largely already the case, but this would make the bar that much higher for any discipline
Police unions have no solidarity with workers. They're groups that exist only to protect themselves, and they're happy to suppress strikes when it serves them. It's facile to consider them as part of labour unions.…
From experience, work at these companies five years ago, get options, don't leave even though it's awful
If your employment was entirely piece-work driven by "the algorithm", which is completely opaque and subject to change at any time, what other recourse do you have? They're basically trying to reverse engineer the…
Part of the problem is that Black people never had the opportunity to buy the properties they occupied, even at depressed prices when those properties were undesireable. So when gentrification occurs, rents go up and…
In my experience a startup of a certain size is founders and sales doing razzle-dazzle, "deeply technical people" jerking off to the latest fad, and no customers.
Those are the only two Level 7 nuclear events (the highest severity) to occur in history so I think it makes sense to group them together.
The kind of software I'm talking about should be thrown away after one or two years. Long-term you figure out what works and what the pain points are and you Ship of Theseus away all the bad shit. > And yes, that…
Instead you should push down a single argument which is an untyped key value map which may or may not contain the variables you want?
There's diminishing returns along all those axes, suddenly throwing billions of dollars at a problem doesn't automatically yield a fast, high quality result.
