Comment Re:A part time jobs is not a career (Score 1) 194

You seem to be confusing "part-time job" with "minimum wage" and "non-skilled labor" with "young, drug-addled, and incompetent". Funny how all those "non-skilled" jobs have suddenly become "essential" in the last 8 months...

Part-time jobs employ part-time workers as well as numerous under-employed workers who work multiple jobs to make ends meet. This includes young people, students, people needing something to do short term, and also full-time employees who require additional income because our current min. wage @ 40 hrs/week doesn't house, clothe, medicate, and feed a family (let alone an individual). Regardless, a part-time employee should receive the same benefits as their full-time counterpart, pro-rated to reflect their hours. And those full-time benefits should be enough to cover housing, clothing, preventative medicine, and food. Something like a "minimum" payable "wage" necessary to afford those things.

I'd happily pay $2.30 for a cheeseburger if it meant my neighbors earned a livable wage + medical benefits. We're already subsidizing a livable wage + medical benefits through corporate welfare. Why not cut out the middle-men and give it directly to the people?

This is +5, Insightful? Really?

Please link me to a ride-sharing service that offers profit sharing, benefits, 401k, etc. It's not like Uber is forced to not give those benefits. They can offer better compensation, or they can go out of business.

You think corporations should make more, but the labor force disagrees. That means you are wrong.

Note that this is purely a thought exercise and I would never ever think about doing this in real life (FBI take note of this disclaimer!)

1. Buy some large sized consumer drone off craigslist for cash. (bonus points for showing up in a stolen car and having a disguise)

2. Modify them to drop small canisters of red paint.

3. Re-flash the software to ignore all flight restrictions

4. Wait until the president is at Mar-A-Largo

5. Program the drones to fly to 1000 feet, drop down over the target and release their "bombs" over visible areas and then fly out to sea on a random flight path until their batteries run out

6. Release the hounds^w drones at night (or more bonus points for the middle of a golf game)

7. Wash. Rinse. Repeat at other locations.

8. Sit back and watch the government spend a shitload more than $3.4 million as they try to control the situation.

...it'd be better if companies like this opened their products because they truly believed in openness, rather than to beat the competition over the head.
Does it matter why a company actually adopts open software? Isn't the fact that it's being used more important? Also, what's the harm in a business finding that open software is a way to get an edge on the competition?
