Their own students have already started trying to manipulate global warming by suing their precious alma mater
Take managers out of the equation and work gets done. Pretty simple.
Yes, but what work gets done?
Is it the sexy feature that the dev has been just dying to implement since he/she read about some new language/process/data type de jour?
Or is it fixing the hard to locate bug in deep in the back end that deletes all the users data on seemingly random occurrences (and can be brushed off in dev's opinion as merely an aberration)
Please pick up any courtesy phone in the lobby and read out any and all relevant chapters.
The best part of the listed articles is the picture of the sheriff pointing a gun at the dalek with his finger on the trigger, while two employees stand directly on the other side of the robot!
I'd love to be a fly on the wall when that Sheriff explains to his boss why he unholstered his weapon and handled it the way he did.
And I can't get up.
From the Ars article: Coming soon: Slow, heavy, shrieking, autonomous robot rent-a-cops
Should anybody choose to attack the K5, as opposed to walking briskly away, the unit can react with a shrieking alarm that Stephens described as like "a car alarm but much more intense." That will probably happen shortly after the K5 falls to the ground, unable to right itself, which actually happened during Knightscope's MIT robot demo.
These are the same Walmart employees who think they're worth fifteen bucks an hour?
This is getting off topic, but minimum wage in the US has taken a big hit due to inflation. At the very least if compared to the 1960's the current minimum wage needs to be about $11/hr in order to have the same buying power.
Google "asset forfeiture" and weep.
Reading Stop and seize makes for a scary experience.
This has been done to death in a variety of places. An RTG was not used for many reasons such as mass and availability, balanced off against the science experiments that both probes carried. Rosetta was always slated to do most of the experiments, and the landing of Philae was always an unpredictable event (I've read that a matching set of harpoons kept on Earth for the last 10 years in a vacuum also failed to fire).
But think about it. Add an RTG, which adds mass, which means less science overall, possibly to the point of not including a lander. Not only that, you need to oversize the RTG so that when 10 years of zooming around the solar system are up, that it still has enough juice to do the work you want.
The people who designed Rosetta/Philae are rocket scientists, and I am not second guessing their choices. What they have already achieved is phenomenal, and the science has only just started.
I'd say that on the short term morality is a hindrance. But even if your morally questionable decisions don't cause your startup to implode, would you really want to be part of the kind of company it would become?

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.
I thought this might be another Haselton story.
Instead it's a diceverticement
This is a Lobster story that is not a dicevertisment!

Heck, we're not permitted to take pictures of servers in the data center.
I once worked on project in the US that used a bunch of Polish engineers. At the time certain computers were prohibited exports to behind the iron curtain (and this was well before the wall came down). Of course our project used such a particular mini-computer (I think it was a VAX) for doing some compiling that these Polish engineers needed. To assuage the US export control restrictions, this computer was put in a sealed cabinet that the Polish engineers couldn't access.
A short time later one of the engineers was visiting the Smithsonian, and saw that same model computer on display. So he took a photograph of it, printed it out and stuck it to the front of the cabinet at work!
Right, but you generally DO need a reason to deny them unemployment compensation -- they have to be fired for cause and the rules are quite strict.
I'm not denying that
That would actually be the opposite. You're thinking states with at-will employment.
Yeah
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
