The only reason I don't have a firewall box behind my residential router is because I don't have money to buy extra hardware.
That thing has been working for almost ten years (granted it is not an office environment), once with openwrt and now with tomato, while rebooting its little and adorable self every night at 3am automatically so that I don't have to.
It's an amazing piece of hardware that makes one say "back in the day".
The second comment from the top when you go to
Reread the comments.
What you are actually saying is "shut up and take it." Not the best comment in response to someone voicing their concerns regarding workplace conditions.
It is, however, the standard response by those who want to silence dissent.
i.e. You are using interviews in order to avoid paid in-house training.

What you call "left" in this argument is actually centre right. Sorry but the left barely exists in the US, compared to other nations. Your confusion is probably due to the binary party system where, interestingly, 0 = 1.
Anyhow, though they share some common grounds, the left is not and cannot be "liberal". (For example, no leftist would argue for the corporatization of free speech in their right minds, as you did in your liberalist comment, excusing it as "not perfectly ideal".)

> leftist university administrations and the current American executive, also on the left
Leftist university administrators do not exist in the US. No leftist university administrator would take an active (pro/supporting) role in a system that depends on the exploitation of adjunct faculty, the active sabotaging of unions by universities, and the overall commodification[1] of education.
The current American executive is not leftist either, as demonstrated by their trend towards building a surveillance system for elitist / corporate US dictatorship.
In light of the above, you are in no position to call any article "idiotic."
edit: [1] http://www.randalolson.com/2014/03/29/its-impossible-to-work... is an interesting read.
Hopeful rather than silly, I'd say.
Many people like you (who prefer BSD and Linux over MS) are still voting for MS with their wallets (dealing with majority MS manufacturers/sellers) and their discourse (the variations of how it all is "silly").
Using DDG. I pretty much always forget that Google is an option nowadays.
What do you think pushes companies to increase wages, rainbow ponies? Benevolent investors? Gee.
Organized labor.
organizing to get fair compensation.
A grad assistant is usually not perceived as an employer by most universities, US and abroad. As such, from the university's perspective (which you took in your comment), one cannot say that they are being compensated, at all.
Assuming that you do understand that a graduate assistant (in this case, e.g. a research assistant who is also a student) is actually an employee of the university,
- The training they receive (courses et al) is what we call unpaid training. They do not receive salary for the hours they spend receiving training, which is a requirement for them to do their job (research assistant) efficiently and successfully.
- Would you accept payment in prestige if you were in, say, Google or Apple? A graduate school has much less prestige (hence the need for "internships").
- Independence does not exist for a grad assistant, whose not only livelihood but also school registration depends on her/his relationship with her/his "mentor" (i.e. boss / advisor to boss) and other department members. Not only job security but also school security depends on maintaining "good relationships" with these people. (As a student, on the other hand, s/he is expected to produce and engage in independent thought.) Additionally, this particular kind of employee cannot switch jobs easily since most jobs will not provide benefits for external education.
- No or lower-end benefits etc.
You can very easily hire a grad student on a "free market"[1] for even $15k/yr if they are [made to be] desperate enough. Most already are.
[1] Please read Adam Smith to understand how a "free market" actually operates. It's not what you think it is.
I mean, upon analysis, postmodernism tries to escape or reject the traditional perspective on the human mind.
This is a moot argument. Of course s/he has to have a plan if s/he wants to be in business. What was asked was suggestions, not detailed strategy deliverables.

That is simply not acceptable and is both poor etiquette and bad practice.

In case you missed it, the legal practices in the US depend on previous court cases.
> U.S. corporations should not enjoy immunity for their purposeful assistance, technological or otherwise, in gross human rights violations (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/02/eff-files-amicus-brief...)
A positive ruling on this case, which presents to the courts not only a racist and violent but also a clearly stigmatized political system, would affect greatly how courts would behave towards companies collaborating with similar governments in the present time.
Furthermore, are you kidding me? IBM should be absolved of responsibility for aiding and abating severe human rights violations? Stop giving money to ACLU too, then. https://www.aclu.org/blog/racial-justice-human-rights/mandel...
This is called strategically reframing the issue.
The problem with tax software is not that it is hard to write, it's that it should never have been needed in the first place.
Tax laws work for large corporations who can hire teams of lawyers to find loopholes in them and fail people who just need to do their taxes. This is a policy issue that cannot and should not be worked around using software, proprietary or open source alike.
Yes, he would have. And in many, he would not need it.
How will someone like that ask questions that a proper, professional, well-prepared investigative journalist would ask? Bah.
