Oh shit boy, these other comments schooled you!

Still waiting for you to admit you were wrong. What's wrong with people like you who cannot admit they were wrong about something?

Take back your comment - you're wrong - just because someones work was secret, that doesn't mean their career should be ended.

What about Turing and all the other guys that have done and still do great work? Should we end their careers because some of their work is secret? That's just un-australian.

Ask them about Alan Truing - he kept his work secret so should have had his career ruined by the likes of you.

You're a terrible person - why call me out for being wrong, then when I show you that you are wrong, just vanish? That's un-australian.

Greed - there's no reason why Yahoo! cannot operate as a smaller but profitable business - it's never going to be the industry leader it once was but the fact it's still around after all these years is impressive in its own right - a new CEO needs to come onboard and give the company the respect it deserves by cutting a lot of staff, products and services and focus on a smaller set of services that drive a smaller profit.

You should lose your career for saying that.

Still looking for closure...

That's a rather large downgrade to the previous accusations. From evil company to a company with no benefit to mankind. I think you can say that about a lot of peoples jobs - what's your point?

Curious to know what Palantir are doing that you have a such an issue with - surely they aren't committing genocide?

Can you just give me some closure on our thread please by admitting you're wrong? Thanks.

Dude, never let anyone that has worked for GCHQ have another job! If the worked for the Gov then they must be evil!!! OMG!!!

Still no comment on Turing?

What was the 'usual manner'?

Odd use of the word ecumenical.

Professional tools cost money. How am I going to drive in nails without a good quality hammer?

If this becomes a good solid product - I would expect to be paying several hundred dollars.

Are you kidding? There are plenty of devs that build bootstrap front ends - if this makes life easier for them and saves time / effort, it's an easy decision to purchase this. There are other front end frameworks that with IDE's that people pay for too such as vaadin. You're probably not in the target audience for this.

What has that got to do with anything? If I see a game I want on Steam and I want it now, should I not buy it because it's not part of a sale?

I've got fibre in my area so tend to do really well. I also have 4G on my phone which reports upload to be over 25MB

No idea, I'm not in a position where I will be able to work from home regularly so I haven't looked into it.

Even the better tech companies (e.g. Atlassian) aren't keen on WFH.

None of them should have careers because they are in a group that you don't like.... Any comment on Turing yet? Wanna take back your previous comments?

Most office workers need email. Your needs are niche, I'm not saying that you should not go to the office or have awesome internet, I'm saying your needs are not the same as the average.

However, I do anticipate that a culture shift to working from home will require higher bandwidth as more services move to the cloud and as workers start to require video conferencing.

Hahaha, obligatory NBN complaint :-D

I agree, NBN has been turned into a joke, however, I would be surprised if most people around Sydney and its suburbs don't have access to fast enough broadband to use email and other online services they require - but yes, bad internet infrastructure would prove to be an issue and would need to be addressed.

I don't doubt that there are good reasons to work from a central location - I do a lot of pre-sales work so I understand the importance of face to face - however, if I weigh up the cost of commuting (as a whole for society) then we just cannot justify having all office workers commuting 5 days per week.

We can still make face to face work, I just don't believe everybody has to commute everyday - it's all about balance - we just need a culture shift.

Being forced to work from an office is the biggest scandal in the western world.

I can see the highway coming from the Sydney harbour bridge from my office window - it's alway congested, it takes a huge amount of time to get to and from work.

I guarantee most of the people burning fuel, creating congestion and stopping themselves (and everyone else) from getting home to their families on time have jobs that could easily be done from home.

The argument that unexpected collaboration happens when people are forced to go to the office is a joke and certainly not worth protecting when you consider all the other negative effects of commuting and working in a central location:

- Rising house prices

- Sprawling high density housing resulting in more people living in smaller areas creating a massive strain on infrastructure and massive reduced living standards

- Commuting for hours per day which affects family life

- Creating pollution hot spots

- Burning large amounts of oil and petrol

A truck spilt several tons of dirt onto the Sydney harbour bridge last week, this caused hours of delays for thousands of people trying to get home. Why should one truck accident hold thousands of people to ransom? How many people missed their kids bed time because of that?

Most companies even being amenable to change based on me bumping into someone from a different department is a laughable idea. We need a massive culture shift in the way we approach most office work. It's an absolute scandal.

Why are you referring to being a manger as a privilege? It's not a master / slave relationship you know?

Getting used to being a manager (or the 'privilege' as you call it) is not a bad thing and in no way does your interpretation of human nature make any difference.

No comment on Turing then?

Isn't history full of examples of people doing secret government work, that wasn't unethical, that they could not share outside of their immediate team?

Alan Turing helping to crack the enigma code comes to mind.

You're now assuming all intelligence work is unethical? You're childlike arrogance and ignorance is tiresome.

That question provides zero insight into my character but it does shed some light on your lack of intelligence.

I don't actually care who you associate with - it was a thought game - you are saying that you are for guilt via association (or at least I assumed you were) which I was I tried to throw that principle back in your face. Jeez, do you need jokes explaining to you too?

The fact you think my inability to talk about some secret work I have done means that I've done something unethical is ridiculous.

Could care less? Surely you mean that you couldn't care less?

If you could care less then that means you must already have some level of care.

If you couldn't care less then your current level of care could not be any lower which effectively means that you don't care.
