Comment Re:And you think the DMCA and SOPA are bad. (Score 1) 392

The public needs to be educated why the pendulum has swung too far in favor of copyright holders, so that they pressure their legislators to change the law.

This is gravely important to getting change to happen. I hope google allowing copyright holders be as evil as possible directly to people, especially on a large site like youtube will bring the problem to the public's doorstep (which is usually when Americans actually take action)

Comment Re:The blame game (Score 1) 265

so in fact it is due to a system where when people are blamed for some screw up they lose their jobs. This causes middle management to look after their asses first and part of their job becomes diverting responsibility instead of solving problems. It causes the entire company hierarchy to look for the next person to blame as losing their job is not an option. If this was off the table as a punishment maybe employee retention would be better. I think there is a difference between firing someone for messing up and firing someone because they suck at the job.

Also, you get this kind of learning in the work environment too (unless yer job is a dick). So this style of collaborative learning also does one really important thing for future developers: it ingrains a sense that teamwork is important and how to work well in team environments (and not be a dick).
