I think deliberately inducing a degree of what the psychologists call learned helplessness is a part of it. If you continually stress out a rat randomly in ways out of his control, the rat will fail to take advantage of escape opportunities. It will helplessly sit there and put up with the random shocks (or whatever) even when the door is open.

These firms absolutely want the employees stressed out to a degree that contemplating escape from the cage seems like too much.
Often times that is what I am doing during my breaks. Resolving github issues or answering side project emails. So it really all does work out.
>She feels she needs every advantage right now.

There are a lot more advantages that could be taken if necessary, the actual problem is that the US is too powerful and the world needs more balance.
I've recommended this site so many times it seems like I'm an affiliate, but I'm not: http://manager-tools.com

Lots of practical examples of management challenges. While these guys are not IT people, a lot of the examples they provide come from and/or directly applicable to the IT world.
Perception is also something that is taught. If everyone puts in 12 hours, 12 hours becomes the norm. I really dislike working for organizations that care more about the perception than the reality, and it's my advice that folks try to avoid those (or leave them).

It's better to not condition your manager to think this is acceptable early on, or it quickly becomes something you can be forced to do regularly.

I do agree that if that's the case, you definitely shouldn't be putting in a continuous 12, because it's almost guaranteed your management isn't.

The worse case is when they want presence, and as a result, people stay at work long hours reloading the internet. There's no point in that, which is why it's important to just measure results, not effort.

RE/MAX Announces First Quarter 2015 Earnings Conference Call
My first reaction when reading the title of this article was to think of a variation of the punchline for an old _macho_ joke: "because other men pretend to care".

In my experience, and granted I haven't worked in the US, the number of hours you spend in the office is always expected to be in line with what your manager has committed to paying you for.

In countries like Germany or Holland, if you consistently stay over-time in the office you might be surprised to find that you will be called upon justifying your behavior since the local belief is that you are either incompetent and can't finish the work assigned to you in your normal work schedule, which will cost the company money to train you or hire a replacement, or your manager is incompetent because he over-assigned your time and it will cost the company money when you finally burnout or start taking shortcuts in your work.

Other European countries have established rules that forbid employers contacting their employees (mail or phone) outside of business hours to avoid the pressure of having to do work on your personal time.

I don't want to start a "war" about US vs insert-European-country-here productivity but, honestly, do you know anyone who actually does measurable quality work for 16h straight in a consistent way?
The unstated pretext is that dark money will be useful. I expect the US Gov would simply make bitcoin illegal if robust anonymity were built on top of it.

It is already (somewhat) difficult to have untraceable property, which is sort of a prerequisite for the dark economy to be interesting. For example, money laundering exists because people with, roughly speaking, dark money, want to use it to purchase legitimate goods.
Does “Location, Location, Location” Count for Toilets?

> I hope it's a big market.

It is.

There are a lot of these kind of sites out there, with the (probable) leader being pingdom.

Writing something basic is pretty easy for this, with a decent work-queue and a few worker nodes around the world checking from multiple locations.

The hard part is the notifications via SMS, billing, and dealing with failures that are en route from your testing-agent to the real site. (i.e. False positives where you think things are down when actually they're not.)
I would assume some crawlers are configured to find and scrape email addresses using that (now) "de facto" form and similar ones. With that said, I recently saw someone use a form similar to:

Email me at abc shift+2 key companyname period com

which, until that becomes more common, might offer better protection from scrapers.

Back after I finished uni, a friend of mine with the same degree went to work in investment banking.

We lived together. Sort of. I basically had the whole house to myself outside of midnight - 0700. Some nights he'd check in with me as I was lying in bed about to sleep. Quite often we'd go a whole week without seeing each other, the only sign of life from him being that his door was closed when I went off to work. Weekends were precious, sometimes we could get a meal in together. His Blackberry would ring, but he could push some things aside to after the meal. The initial rush of getting a prestigious job was soon replaced by complaints about the insanity of the system: sit around from morning to evening doing nothing, wait for the MD to make some work that you can do before the next morning.

So one day his boss decides he's had enough of everything and ends it all. This was a guy of similar background to my friend, similar culture. Just 20 years down the line.

I think it caused my friend to have some thoughts about where he wanted to be, how he wanted to live. He's changed jobs now, much happier, married, got a kid.

>Going by hacker stereotypes, it’d be pretty easy to physically identify anyone committing an act of digital crime. A combination of pallid skin, hoody and laptop is the biggest giveaway.

Our pen-testing group has members who fit that exact stereotype. We've found that people don't care, even when acting suspicious. In fact, it gets more interesting. Awhile back we all picked up blue prison work jumpsuits from a local surplus store that say "Work Crew" on the back in faded lettering. When combined with a small red toolbox it seems prison jumpsuits are as good as a firefighters uniform for gaining access to places. I've become bold enough while wearing mine that I've openly picked locks on doors in busy offices. I haven't been caught yet & the assessment photos really hit home far more in the end-of-review report. It's pretty easy for a manager to dismiss a compromise by someone dressed as a fire fighter but not so much when its some dude in a prison jumpsuit.
There is a difference between a manager and owner. I am taking the hit because I can and because it keeps up the expectations of the owners. Sadly it is hard to escape the "butts in chairs" mentality when you pay people >5 figure salaries.

When I worked in an office in the UK flexitime was very common, and seems much more so. Many people would balance work and life by doing 4 long days and then taking a 3 day weekend. Some would build up flexi credit to take extra weeks of holiday. Provided you were working effectively then great flexibility was allowed, flexi priveleges could be removed for under performance (well below average).

My wife and I chose to work less by starting our own business so we could spend lots of time with our kids when they were pre-schoolers. It's kinda backfiring a bit now. We are most definitely poor financially.

In a free market you rarely have to justify rent seeking.

If Bethesda are 'rational' then they estimated how much they'd make at various royalties and decided that they make the most when they take ~45%, so 'deserves' never entered into their decision and it's reasonable to assume that it never entered into Valve's decision to take 30% either.

I'm pretty confident that pilots are required to be able to navigate with pencil and paper flight map, in case of equipment failure.

As such, I'm surprised that airlines would allow iPads to be a critical failure point.

I wish you good luck with your business, which I'm confident is highly valuable.

I would love to know who these "incumbents with massive political capital" are. Where i live most licensed taxi firms are small businesses run by local people providing local jobs.

Uber are now stomping these small companies by ignoring local law because they can afford the fines or just don't care.

I agree they are being allowed to do this in many places, and that it the fault of the government -- but i am certainly NOT fine with it.

They want to be the taxi service for the world which is a fast track to disaster for everyone except Uber.

As a former iOS Developer for American I can say that while there is a rather large effect on the entire network, it pales in comparison to the savings gleaned from having the iPads.

I couldn't give specific numbers on the lost revenue here. It could be anywhere from a few thousand to several hundred thousand dollars. But there are people at the airline who analyze the cost of delays and they can be pretty significant - more so if this occurred at fleet launch in the early morning (though that doesn't seem to be the case).

"Cub scout meetings don't sound any better."

Well, I could say that the fact the assets already exist in the game that I paid for, then the assets have already been paid for whether there's a mod that makes use of them or not. The other factor is that the game assets the modder is using is only available to players who have purchased the game. The assets have been paid for once, what this system is asking that the assets be paid for more than once. Mind you, not paid for by the modder, but by the player who has already paid once for those assets. To expand that to an obvious conclusion; let's say there is a sword asset in the game I paid for. I pay for ten mods that make use of that same sword asset in different ways. Which means I have paid for that same sword eleven times. Which is free money to the developer for doing absolutely nothing beyond providing the initial game I already paid for.

Also, are they going to have different percentages based on amount of usage of game assets? So far I haven't seen an indication of that.

As I have said before, if Skyrim had been free then I could understand the position. In this case I feel it is in the best interest of the company and game to let the modders go forward without interference. But hey, that's just my opinion, it's their company and their game so they can do whatever they want.
