I've got this strong hunch that many of these employees that are speaking up now only initially joined these organizations because they had this strong impression no doubt given to them by the companies themselves that they were working to make the world a better place. They need only finish drinking the rest of the cup of kool-aid and they'll be ready to get back to work.
We know these kind of things happen every day as executives hunt the Almighty Dollar. This is just a high-profile example of it happening, obviously. However, it is good to hear students are determined to practice ethical business. The advanced students will have their pick of the litter when it comes to jobs, and they will be highly desired wherever they go, and with enough transparency they'll be allowed to choose the nature of their projects. It's the average and less-than-average programmers that will accept the jobs with slighter shades of gray applied to them as they work a bit harder to find stability in the workplace. We can only assume that these kind of projects will have higher costs associated to them, and the final product will not reach its full potential. It's the circle of life
I doubt that Kentucky will suffer the same issues as Silicon Valley as far income inequality causing housing issues which is the major driving factor behind cost of living.
I think perhaps the proper litmus test for this law might be to ask oneself "How does this affect Wikipedia?" I'm not saying that Wikipedia is like a bastion of good facts, but it's always been heavily moderated, seems to respect most copyright law, and is non-profit. Since most sites are for-profit, they all have a dog in the fight about the application of copyright law. IANAL and welcome your interpretations in this context of these new copyright laws.
Let us blame the 30-year old engineer for not taking the time to address the vulnerability even though it was the 40-year old manager that declined the recommendation because his team wouldn't meet the deadline set by the 50-year old executive who is obsessed with appeasing the 60-year old investors.
Government regulation is "corporate spanking" and it's not just the millenials that need a little more discipline applied to them.
Also, don't eat Ramen and PB&J. Get a hot-plate or an apartment with a kitchen and cook real food. Your idea might be cheap, but it's far from healthy -- and getting sick while in school isn't good for grades.
Of all the misguided advice in the OP, living on Ramen as well as peanut butter and jelly is probably the worst bit of advice and unfortunately causes the reader to question the credibility of OP's other statements, especially when combined with the logical fallacies sprinkled in the comment. Misguided Libertarian beliefs aside, surviving on Ramen and peanut butter-jelly is probably a sure shot way to end up mal-nutritioned.
for people to apply to become employees then Uber could argue that these contractors simply don't want to be considered employees. Now they're faced with the over-bearing hand of the law, which will undoubtedly say that either all Uber's drivers are employees or none of Uber's drivers are employees. That simply isn't the black-and-white truth though, is it? I imagine some people only clock in when they want to, and others clocks in because it's their primary income and they need to.
Unfortunately, I doubt they would consider providing that as an option. Their data-mining is only as valuable as it is because they have cast such a broad net. If people were able to opt out then the data they mined wouldn't be as valuable. I don't even know if they COULD stop mining the data. Remember that this is the company that has convinced everyone on the internet to hide one of their widgets on their page, silently collecting data on users that aren't even signed up with Facebook.
You should sit on your porch all day and wait for someone to come steal your guns. Don't bother going to work. Just sit on your nest of guns. Don't go to the grocery store. Just sit on your stash of guns.
Look, I don't know everything about guns. I know just enough to know that one should use the right caliber for the right job and that the tactical advantage of having a gun is lost as soon as someone is aware that you do in fact have a gun. Unless of course you're just using guns as a way to intimidate people at which point I'd say you're more of an armed thug than a responsible citizen, in which case I hope you don't have any Red Flag laws in your state, the neighbors might send the cops to take your guns if you scare them too bad. And who would blame them? I'd think my neighbor was creepy too if he quit his job to protect his stash of guns from some bogeyman that doxed him because he shared too much data on social media.
As long as your salary is paid for by taxes then get used to it. You should try switching to the private sector, the bosses are much less demanding there I hear. Hope you don't live in an at-will state with that attitude.
Haha I'm fine with the consumer paying the e-waste tax. People pay too much for those silly iPhones already. If you make the phone more expensive then less people will buy it and other phones that abide by the right-to-repair legislation will outpace iPhone sales and also cut the number of new cell phone sales overall.
Hopefully AI will not completely eliminate the job but instead automate the simple, boring parts of it. The added productivity will probably result in some kind of downsizing hence the survival bias. AI didn't eliminate the job, it instead required less people to do the job. Ultimately the reason an AI will never completely eliminate all human beings from the process is that when things go wrong which they inevitably will someone needs to be responsible for fixing the problem and held accountable for letting the problem get out of hand and even possibly held liable if the problem causes enough fallout.
...steadily rising for the past decade then how much does Donald Trump actually weight? Extra credit - given the average salinity of ocean water, will The Donald float?

At this moment the only subscription model I am using is a rent-to-own model. I'm happily paying $10/month for 30 months on a piece of software out of which I get a great deal of use. If I stop using the software then I will close the subscription. Such a model probably curtails a bit of piracy and in my case makes even trying the software a great deal more palatable.

that there's a big hole in the OpSec at many development firms.

Do you not have vocational rehabilitation services in your state? I'm sorry to hear that your sisters have been displaced in this economy.

Did anyone read Jurassic Park?!?!
Seriously, having a college degree might be detrimental to getting a job at some of those places.

That would be the strategic advantage of owning a gun, not the tactical advantage.

1) Post a geo-cached photo of where you keep your guns. 2) There is no step 2.

Remind me to never go car shopping with you.
