True, "Tricked into working for free" sounds like an unusual case, worth a brief read. "Company commits fraud against its workers" is a more straight forward crime story, and boring because it happens too often.
No, they worked without being paid. Not the same thing. Just like stealing is not the same thing as getting something for free.
The Tom Sawyer story is about tricking his friends into working for free. If he had lied and said there was a lot of apple pie coming later and that turned out to be false, then that would make a completely different story and turns Tom from a clever boy into a rotten brat.
Tricked into working for free, or working for substantially less than market rates, is standard startup behavior. Convince the mark that lots of money is coming later, that the options are at least the equivalent of cash, tell them that it's standard practice to work 80 hours a week for low pay.
True, but this was a startup in question, and they are notoriously bad about paying and there is virtually no chance in hell you will get super rich at a startup (though people are tricked into thinking this). It's also a startup with a stupid concept, which does virtually the same thing as 20 other startups with the same stupid concept. If you're not being paid then you lose *nothing* by leaving.
I write my high scores down on a pad of paper. To prevent others from reading it I regularly burn those papers and watch the smoke rise. I call this "synching with the cloud".
He had just been fired, and the press were camped out in front of his house. He said he considered talking to the press directly but he just wanted to get out of there and get on with his vacation. He was already a private citizen by that time.
I think some are confusing "memo" with official documentations. They're not. He wrote a memo that he had dinner with Trump. Most people wouldn't go to that level of detail, but in hindsight they did turn out to be useful when called before congress and asked to provide details information about stuff that happened months in the past.
There are also "memos" that are classified, memos that are confidential, memos that people prefer not to share for privacy concerns over employees, and so forth. The shared memo was none of those.
I don't doubt that Churchill said that, but so what? Churchill was wrong on this regard. His imperialist background is showing through in bright colors here.
That article and the links to other articles on the page were not libertarian, there were full onset wingnut crazy. A real libertarian would believe in religious liberties. A libertarian also would not be buying into conspiracy theories.
Libertarian: climate change may be real, but I don't approve of big government programs to combat it. Wingnut: government is setting up a program to combat climate change, therefore climate change is a plot!
I have the most secure operating system ever. It does nothing but play minesweeper. Internet connections automatically fail to protect the system integrity. The OS and the single minesweeper application are stored in ROM and cannot be modified either with or without a password.
This is more secure than Windows 10 S and slightly more useless.
And never mind that Trump got the vast majority of the press during the campaign for the same reason. If you wanted to know anything about the other Republicans in the primary you had to check out Fox News. Trump should be thanking the media for working so diligently for his campaign.
Well, they're also obsessing as Trump is the most bizarre president too. He coul be more honest with himself, in the sense that he needs to realize that he's not the super genius that he thinks he is and that it's not always a good idea to say out loud whatever random thought crossed his mind at the moment.
Or as the saying goes, better to be quiet and let people think you're a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
No one had their hair on fire over covfefe. Everyone was laughing their asses off instead. Even Trump treated it like a joke with the later tweet. Everyone knew it was a joke, except for Sean Spicer who was trying to defend the original tweet ("The president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant"). Now that was comedy gold.
The media has always been interested in whatever the current sitting president has to say. Even the most boring president ever becomes a news story just by saying something in public. So of course, if you have a twitterphiliac in office the press is going to be looking at them all.
Now, someone in the white house administration says she doesn't want the media to obsess over the tweets. Trump on the other hand does indeed want the press and the public to to read every single tweet, it's the reason he tweets. He's not tweeting something private like "Honey, I'll be home late tonight", he's tweeting stuff he wants you to see.
"Mom! It's private! Don't look at my twitter account!"
That's the problem, I said "children of congress members" need to be drafted. They need a built in incentive to stop war, as opposed to not worrying about an all volunteer enlisted pool coming most often from an economically disadvantaged background being the only ones putting their lives on the line.
The draft did have a part in ending the Vietnam War as too many people knew too many friends, family, and neighbors who were getting drafted and killed. And that was with most children of legislators getting a free pass or opportunity to serve the draft state side. It would have ended much sooner if the people in power pushing for war were losing their own children.
The Bay Area had a bit of a tech background already before Silicon Valley. There were several companies working with the military on research or development. There was also Ampex, Varian, and Hewlett-Packard which were some of the first "high tech" companies in the region. There was SRI which was a magnet for research as well. The "Silicon" part didn't come about until Fairchild Semiconductors started the trend towards chip companies.
Today there's very little silicon anymore, there are too many startups chasing fads, web portals, advertising companies, content providers, etc.
Yes and no. He did a lot of very hard work perfecting the inventions, many inventions were his own or from his labs. It was a time when everyone was building upon everyone else's work. No one invented a full blown product all on their own, the patents were all incremental modifications. Don't let an online comic strip fool you into thinking he was evil personified.
New Jersey tends to have many green plants that grow naturally and without being a part of the landscaping. Even even rains there on a regular basis as well. Stay away from the industrial blight and it's a very nice state. I'm saying this as a native and life long California resident.

Well it does fall under the definition of standard business practices.
I disagree. I don't want scum like that changing my bedpans or corrupting my shit with his presence.
It's a free market issue, the government should keep out of organized crime syndicates as it's bad for these small business owners.

That's why I make a distinction between libertarians and the Libertarian Party.

Actually no. But reading that page it does sound much more secure than Windows 10 S while still providing a safe walled garden.
