Comment CEO's can't control their own companies? (Score 5, Insightful) 64

Is it just me that sees it as a tad ridiculous that the leaders of these companies need external regulations to avoid safety issues? To me it seems like they're trying to find someone else to blame when what they're developing turns into a problem. As leaders they should be accountable to ensuring the proper safeguards are in place and responsible if they fail in that regard. No regulation required if they do their jobs.

No, the slop part is in the submitting. Linus has even talked about it. Multiple people submitting the same bugs often times without vetting is it a bug, why is it a bug, what's the resolution to the bug. 1000s of people submitting bugs like this does not make things better. It makes it a maintenance nightmare to wade through all of that.... slop.

Comment Scalper incentive (Score 1) 41

As long as scalpers are essentially tolerated the behavior won't stop. If they started seriously cracking down the risk vs reward wouldn't be worth it. Long jail sentences. Asset forfeiture. And pay it back to the people they ripped off. Not just line the government's coffers. They'll go after Napster users for downloading music, but concerts are usually an artists main source of income. If they could get the scalpers out of it I'll bet the ticket sales would be a lot higher.
