Why hasn't torrentfreak sued? Presumably because it's not an easy win and doesn't produce real benefits for them. I'm struggling to see how any of that would change under your proposal.

There’s a fair number of people who work weekends voluntarily - I’ve even gotten bug reports on odd days when corporate is shut down like Dec. 26th.

My manager and some on my team at Apple generally discouraged me from working on weekends - I’ve worked some on weekends mainly to de-risk accomplishing certain tasks due to me being in an optimal state to tackle some issues & having some spare time. Occasionally I have to fix operations issues on weekends too, but those get resolved generally pretty quickly.

All in all it’s a YMMV situation. Most people in my org keep to normal hours, have same development timelines, and are pretty happy (no yelling/screaming, most operate somewhere in the 10-4 time range give or take, 5 days a week).
Sure. But that selection bias creates a sort of monoculture of mindless drones.

This Graham/Blumenthal duo is out to finish off the remainders of the independent internet in the name of children. Even separately from encryption, it is likely that the required technical threshold (likely non-trivial ML models) and the legal complexity of automatically censoring user uploads will be above the capabilities of most small independent forums, remaining popular independent sites like Mastodon instances, 4chan (which has already been effectively demonetized by the advertisers), etc. The authors of the bill don't mind: it's easier to deal with the professional lobbyists of a couple of monopolistic giants than with a bunch of nuisance small websites.
"BIG DICK ENERGY" is arguably a childish and immature post. Someone liking that post is arguably being childish and immature in their minds at that time .

Of course, a single like of a childish or immature post or meme is a meaningless data point (one could like it to laugh at it). So are 5 likes. So are 10 likes. However, say that twitter account regulary likes memes that are only shared in a particular incels-community. Or say that account likes immature posts by the dozens, at least way more than serious ones. Now we're no longer dealing with mere data points, we're dealing with trends. And those trends give a hint of the type of character the company is dealing with.

Maybe a serious B2B company doesn't want to have childish, immature, incels-type people amongst their ranks?
This! I love the companies that care.

It's very easy to make a case that workplace discrimination happened, or that a hostile work environment was fostered, when there are public discriminatory tweets by the perpetrator that corroborate with the incidents. It's equally difficult to claim ignorance as an employer when they are, again, public.
The title is a bit click baity, but the point here is that Boeing isn't the one paying for the current shut down. The way the industry operates is that suppliers, like Spirit, don't get paid until 90 days after the airplane is delivered. No deliveries in over a year yet until recently they were still expected to deliver parts. Boeing is also taking payments on the airplanes every time they paint them, 1/3 on order, 1/3 on paint, and 1/3 on delivery.

It's the optics that are bad. Boeing CEO creates a culture where the 737MAX was designed and delivered, and failed.
I am curious if people here think there is a different standard for high profile hires. This happens all the time in the entertainment industry. There are plenty of examples of PR disasters that occur when someone's old offensive tweets are resurfaced. Knowing about those tweets beforehand allows a company to either advise that the tweets are deleted or that the potential for future PR problems means someone else should be hired.

I personally think background checks should just be like, hey are you a violent person, but before any in person interview I’ve been a part of the person has been internet stalked by the whole group and anyone who knows the candidate or someone who does has gotten the tea. I just don’t see any value in this
There need to be laws against background checks in their entirety. People who have supposedly paid their penitence for their crimes are still punished up to 7 years after the fact, or longer, and cannot obtain meaningful employment due to it, and are thus stuck committing crimes to survive. Absolutely abhorrent.

I was a huge Aperture fan myself, and have since moved to DxO. They put out a new version every year that has an upgrade fee, but there's no issue staying put for as long as you like. And it's 100% filesystem-based, so it's much easier to work into whatever backup workflow you like; cloud or otherwise.

I actually like it so much, that I even use it since I switched to Linux recently. I have a Windows VM with one app installed that I boot up every month or so to process photos.
I agree with you here, he was responsible for the company that built the failed culture and airplane.
It feels to me like the US as a whole is getting more protectionist over the last decade, and that the free trade everyone is welcome, export to our market for free is seeing some massive attacks.

This is a feeling shared by both the left and right in the populist portions of both parties.

People are looking for ways to get more solid middle class jobs back into the USA, and protectionist trade policy is an obvious place to start for many.

Prior to Bretton Woods there had never been a system of free trade between (nearly) all countries enforced by a singular superpower.

There's nothing fundamental saying that America won't swerve away from providing the service of protecting and enforcing global trade. If that ever happens, it will have many serious consequences, but the US could still decide it is in its best interest.

For sure. But their customers are equally suspect. If anyone's prospective or current employer is actually paying for and using this tool, that's a big red flag in my opinion.

At the least I think it betrays very poor judgement.
Related, I keep noticing that the people who make the psychopath-investor argument seem to forget the company exists to make money by actually doing something.

Doing the something well enough that someone else wants to pay you for it (or keep paying you for it) is a pretty important part of that.
I think the issue is that there is no notion of downside risk. No claw back. A high responsibility position with, apparently, no responsibility.

This kind of thing, as an investor, is utterly maddening (ex-investor, I am glad I don't have to meet these people anymore). Pay for performance is no issue, the issue is that there is no performance. If you want the big job, you take the big risks...this is capitalism without failure (what is most maddening is that these people often see themselves as arch-capitalists...they are not, they are socialists milking the principal-agent problem to death).

Most CEOs are vastly overpaid. For scale, I would guess that the number of truly effective CEOs since WW2 is under 100 (I have only came across a handful). Today's CEOs are not type-A, successful geniuses...the majority will fail (the return on the average listed stock is negative), they will fail for basic/preventable reasons. As a public investor, your hope is that you just have a CEO who is dumb/ineffective...the ones who are smart are usually devious too and will do real damage.

I have no idea where we go from here but it is important to recognise that this isn't capitalism and this isn't sustainable. Public company boards are a big problem (again, nothing at risk) but there is also a deep incompetence...sometimes this is just not understanding what a company is there for (i.e. can be fixed by training), sometimes this is more about failures of personality/morality (i.e. we are actively picking bad people).

But yeah, this is a big issue: workers hate it, shareholders hate it, and nothing we have done so far has solved this (unsurprisingly, all the executive pay and linking to company performance is utter shit...I see this backfire more than it works i.e. a no-nothing director who was CEO somewhere else and ran the company into the ground sets targets which are either the wrong variable, too hard, or too easy...it never works). The risk from overpaying for a CEO is far larger than the risk from underpaying one (in fact, overpaying suggests that you have no idea what these people are actually worth and don't know what you are doing). It is totally reasonable to look at someone getting paid $60m (regardless of the circumstance) for failure, and going..."this doesn't make sense". If you get paid this much, you take the big risk. There has to be responsibility.

Not sure who the GP is (I'm not dirty myself by going on Twitter just for this), but I assume a lot of people didn't realize at the time (and maybe still don't), that this is the kind of public discourse that does NOT quickly vanish into thin air, and all of the implications that follow?
I'm interested in specifically what issues you had with JSON.
The question is whether these contracts make sense. Why are the people who fabricate the aircraft treated as expendable while the executives get a golden parachute? Why was this contract considered sound in the first place while some workers can get fired with immediate closure of their health care?

It makes one wonder if the workers should unionize. I do understand multiple companies (Boeing and several suppliers) are mentioned here, so maybe some of them have some kind of union. But the story is a microcosm of our times. A CEO who seems complicit in an episode that killed many and lost the company $13B gets paid enough to relax in luxury forever while the regular people who had nothing to do with the problem or actively fought against it suffer.

To me, the fact that the CEOs contract was agreed upon in advance does not suddenly make this situation fine. Perhaps we need to reformulate massive companies like this as worker owned cooperatives. Certainly in my mind we need to end the huge unequal privilege that executives have, however that should work out.
>If it's word against word, then yes both sides' word should have equal weight and consequence. Currently, that is not the case.

I'm not sure what you mean here. In that scenario, a DMCA notice was sent and a counternotice was sent. The content gets put back up after 14 days. This seems acceptable to me, and doesn't favor one side disproportionately. Either side can choose to go to court, but if they choose not to, the content is put back up after a delay.

I agree that there's a problem with people filing false claims. But I don't see how a law could improve that.

If I monitor my router’s status page I can see it start to bounce between several different Cell IDs when the congestion hits, and the SINR drops to low single digits (from 16-20dB when it’s fastest).

> For instance, a doctor who doesn't want to perform a sex change operation or administer hormones to young children, because they think it is harmful to them, would be considered transphobic by many advocates.

You are leaving out the important bit: The justification. The problem isn't a doctor refusing because they think it is harmful, the problem is a doctor refusing because they think it is harmful against established science with no science to back up their own position--i.e., where the actual motivation for the refusal is their personal dislike of giving trans people the opportunity to transition according to their own wishes rather than genuine concern for the patient.
There is no one way to use the Internet that was "hyper-tuned". The most addictive way of using the Internet recreationally is naturally the one that most people fall into patterns of doing. If "a shallow stream of ads disguised as content" is the only Internet you're aware of, that's a commentary on you, not the Internet.

There are a million other ways to use the Internet regularly in a healthy and valuable way, and millions of people do it. I probably spend a moderate amount of time using the Internet recreationally, and I can think of half a dozen ways to do this. As one example, paying for ad-free YouTube (included with a GMusic streaming subscription) and spending your passive Internet time on the huge wealth of educational videos available, covering the entire spectrum from low-content entertainment to relatively dry[1] pure education.

Note that the tracking side of the Internet is more complex, and a lot less under an individual person's control. But that's a slight non sequitur from what we're talking about, which is the direct user experience and quality of content.

[1] Dry in the context of recreational Internet time; ie, not stimulating for a brain that's trying to be somewhat passive

Yes, that's how the overlapping capitalist and executive classes take care of themselves, no matter what outcomes they produce, while assuring that labor pays a heavy price whenever something for which capital/executives are responsible goes wrong.

That's rather the point.
