> their employer is their enemy

Without significant safeguards and in the average case, the employer seeks to extract more from you than it gives back. You on the other hand, must work or you will die. This is a power dynamic that positively stimulates the growth of bad behaviour. Knowing that has nothing to do with Reddit, it is an inherent fact of this system.

That is in fact useful information to someone that needs that info, because it means they should never eat it. I think this is a bad example, because I have no idea what you're talking about.

I've worked enough with customers to know they're mostly fine, until you get that one weirdo that finds out where you work and follows you home. You get a few every year. Knowing that, who would want their name associated with something in a space that produces as many incredibly motivated folks as the videogame industry?

It happens every single time. This isn't some well kept industry secret

It isn't like the sponsored links are the only paid-for high listing in your results, SEO is a thing that exists and has nothing to do with quality. Just money and time.

Would you like to substantiate your extraordinary claim with some actual evidence?

It's us vs them. What big corps want is fundamentally adversarial due to it's motivation. I like to think that humans can conceptually not be your enemy.

If they're unmotivated enough to not get there after four review rounds for a junior-appropriate feature, they're not going to get better. It's a little impolite to say, but if you spend any significant amount of time coaching juniors you'll encounter exactly what I'm talking about.

Reporting them to the relevant authority often doesn't work, so public shaming becomes the correct way to prevent more people from falling prey to them

Whether or not you believe the earth is flat is a yes or no question, but you responded with a paragraph that wasn't a real answer. This reads as defensive, which leads a reasonable person to believe that you are in fact a flat earther.

It doesn't do normal what I would consider human politeness. It's all that really slimy salesman stuff. Even when you tell it to be more normal, casual or you give it an example (or to not dress it up at all) it ends up sounding like it thinks it's a few social classes above you.

I used to do this when I had more free time and I did it because I just enjoy doing it. When I write it down like this I realise it sounds kind of obvious, but here we are

I normally do not really watch videos I receive online through any channel, but this comment made me so morbidly curious that I did. The video was super worth it and you're very right

letting corporations be people and have rights was a mistake

it's way cheaper here, it's more convenient and I won't get ignored due to how my voice sounds on the phone. It's just better

It's because C-level people are extraverted and believe in torturing others to please themselves. As a concept it fits perfectly with the reasoning that you should earn ten times what another employee at your company does.

Anyone even remotely educated takes it into account, although most people have a low estimation of the actual risk

Palantir is openly named after a device of fantasy Satan. I don't think we need to wonder how evil they're being, it's always worse that you think they're being. That's what they're for.

> We cannot know

You are an agnostic, not an atheist.

No amount of therapy or Buddhism will make you feel how fentanyl makes you feel and to claim otherwise is disingenuous at best.

What is your end goal with this opinion? Just getting everyone to stop looking, because "you can't"?

It's okay if you want to die, but I think I draw the line at demanding others want it too.

Cops experience professional deformation. Most of the other humans they see at work have been bad or have been involved in something bad. This eventually has an effect on anyone. It's not a good effect. They start to expect it in other people, they start to assume the only folks they can trust are the ones they usually see doing the "right" thing (other cops). This turns them into bad people.

The effects only get more pronounced in a society where literally every lunatic could have a gun and could therefore murder you at the drop of a hat. Trusting a strange situation will mean your death, eventually. It's inevitable.

This is therefore not a matter of distrust, because you don't need faith or trust to know certain things about the transformative effect this would have on people. They live under mortal threat every second they're outside in uniform. They're going to be monstrous.

That's manifestly untrue. Every open source license speaks about how it must be treated.

There is not a single employer that has an HR department that is on your side. It's not what they're hired for. By the listed standards every employer is toxic. Which yeah sure, they're all capitalist and therefore are going to be some level of shitty. But that makes the term lose meaning. It's meant for egregious examples of bad behaviour.

A stolen identity destroys the life of the victim, and there's going to be more than one. They (every single involved CEO) should have all of their assets seized, to be put in a fund that is used to provide free legal support to the victims. Then they should go to a low-security prison and have mandatory community service for the rest of their lives.

They probably can't be redeemed and we should recognise that, but that doesn't mean they can't spend the rest of their life being forced to be useful to society in a constructive way. Any sort of future offense (violence, theft, assault, anything really) should mean we give up on them. Then they should be humanely put down.

The article mentions nobody is getting actual prosecution for doing these things, making the arrests primarily performative.

By hurting the advertisers you hurt google. It sucks that you are disadvantaged by it, but the truth of the matter is that once it becomes expensive enough it will not be worth it economically. And it is clear from your own message this is the only language you're willing to speak.

You've explained everyone is unhappy with it and that you worked to get the one person who actually acted upon it fired. It's hilarious but in a pretty sad way that you're portraying this as an inevitability. It wasn't, it was just you. You had a choice, and you chose to do this. It wasn't inevitable.

ZFS should be avoided because it has too many dumb complete failure states (having run it in a real production storage environment), not because it's DKMS

Every generation that had that big new thing had an enormous group claiming it was terrible and would destroy everything. Smartphones are worse because corporations are allowed to be more evil while receiving more praise (and in that axis everything is worse). Don't scapegoat the platform here. If all we had was newspapers today they'd fuck you in very similar ways. Some executive would make sure of it.
