I don't know, synthetic fruits and veggies have been on the market for years now, and while the quality is getting better, i'd still want them labeled so I know what I'm getting (for the moment, the labeling is seemingly superfluous since the inferior synthetics are obvious). Still, I wouldn't want them to drop that 'organic' label even if the quality improved. I want to know I'm eating a fake!
No voluntary program is going to deliver enough funds to science to really meet the definition most scientists would define as 'working'. Unfortunately, forced support via taxation is the only realistic way.
I'd say we're making pretty good use of technology. It's clearly freeing up the brain for activities that are proving beneficial to society. There's really no room for doubt given the mountain of evidence.
Right, they are 'stuck' with those things because no one wants their product without it. But if they could have what they wanted, it would be a closed ecosystem with all content sold through itunes.
Sure. But I don't think that applies to the people we're to feel sorry for in this story. This is explicitly about people who traded things like job security and short term income for a long-term payout. People desperate for any job (short term income) are somewhat the opposite (and unlikely to have the financial resources to have made this trade).
Sorry, to clarify, I was not suggesting google was a magical place to work. I was suggesting that google, the search engine, could have been used by any potential zynga employee to find out what a bad idea it would be to go to work there.
The better lesson is probably not to go to work for people who are well known douche-bags. Seriously, if you couldn't see this kind of thing coming when you went to work for Zynga, you really weren't paying attention.

Exactly. No chance of exposure to hazardous chemicals in a lab of all places!

And if you think societal collapse is nigh ... you're probably listening to the talking heads. You should stop.

That's the graph of what technology is enabling our brains to accomplish freed of more and more mundane matters.
No, that was disdain for the premise of the article, not sarcasm.

Of course he got it wrong, but: those words actually make sense in this particular context.
But that's also surely not the way they want it.

Great answer, LMAO!
I'm kind of rooting for them to start striking. The rich. With knives.

To answer your question, no, they are indeed in the predicament you describe.
Thanks for that followup, I remembered they had done some actual illegal stuff, but didn't want to make the claim without a reference handy.
Zynga has douche-bags on a level that makes national news. Prior to current events, even.
Just send them an invoice. They've grown so fast their internal cost controls won't have a chance of catching you.
Quitting is a bad move. Getting fired is much, much better for your lawsuit.
They certainly could have, they had bad history before Zynga, and Google had indeed been invented at the time.
I assume Zynga has no plan to follow through. That they hope to win concessions by intimidation, and never bring it to a firing action.
The better lesson is probably not to go to work for people who are well known douche-bags. Seriously, if you couldn't see this kind of thing coming when you went to work for Zynga, you really weren't paying attention.
Yes. Their management is well known for doing all kinds of borderline illegal stuff. Seriously, look up stories about how they got started.
I was measuring by lives prevented.
