Why do journalists feel that they have to write insane sentences like that? Guess what... it doesn't even make sense!
So, the Brazilian government is doing something positive to improve the conditions of workers and all people on here can do is complain? Wow.
Samsung’s Manaus factory, which has 6,000 employees, instructed workers to perform triple the amount of movements considered safe under ergonomic studies, prosecutors said.
So, umm, that's ok?
... while one [employee] worked 27 straight days without a day off...
This is ok as well? I admit this one is a bit less clear cut because it doesn't say how many hours the employee worked each day, but... seriously.
You're all (ok, most) saying -- essentially -- "fuck Brazil" and that this is not right. What the FUCK?
You know what I say? Slashdot these days is populated by pre-pubescent fucktards. Seriously, get over your entitlement shit and grow a brain. If this was happening in "USA: Fuck Yeah" you'd all have the opposite opinion. Arrgh.
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
By the way, when did you first give up living to become a slave? Why have you given up and accepted that it's ok to be put on a watch list just because you type certain phrases or words? "The Man" already owns you.
He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither. People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both. He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither. Those who would trade in their freedom for their protection deserve neither. Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security. When the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is liberty. When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw. I prefer liberty with danger than peace with slavery.
I didn't say that professors should never be questioned; I used to do it all the time -- in fact it should be encouraged. I didn't blame them, though, if they disagreed with my questioning and certainly didn't drop out of because of a perceived belief "that questioning professors' answers was frowned upon". And it's the same thing here now with her (previous) employment with Valve: "they didn't listen to me and the culture frowned upon me" (paraphrased).
And the Wikipedia page you link to clarifies that this "cry baby", "I'm a victim!" attitude of hers is not new. Apparently she didn't fit into formal education, either, because "questioning professors' answers was frowned upon". Now it's happened again. It's "their fault! Nothing to do with me at all." Give me a break. She should just grow up and accept that she's not as special as she thinks she is.
I don't mean to divert attention away from Valve's management structure and handbook, but... well...

Seems like it's always someone else's fault and never hers. The world is persecuting her!
In C, for example, do you step through printf() every time you call it? Of course not... you probably don't even have the source code. The only thing that matters is input, output, pre-conditions and post-conditions. But, yeah, maybe expert Python programmers think differently.
For example, take the fable "the boy who cried wolf". It is not a tale about a boy lying, but a tale about blaming a boy for the failure of others to build fences to protect the sheep.
I've never heard your interpretation before. Perhaps you should write a paper.
I've quoted the story below. Personally I think you're full of shit. It's about a boy lying and then the villagers not believing him because he has a history of lying (so they ignore him).
A Shepherd Boy tended his master's Sheep near a dark forest not far from the village. Soon he found life in the pasture very dull. All he could do to amuse himself was to talk to his dog or play on his shepherd's pipe.
One day as he sat watching the Sheep and the quiet forest, and thinking what he would do should he see a Wolf, he thought of a plan to amuse himself.
His Master had told him to call for help should a Wolf attack the flock, and the Villagers would drive it away. So now, though he had not seen anything that even looked like a Wolf, he ran toward the village shouting at the top of his voice, "Wolf! Wolf!"
As he expected, the Villagers who heard the cry dropped their work and ran in great excitement to the pasture. But when they got there they found the Boy doubled up with laughter at the trick he had played on them.
A few days later the Shepherd Boy again shouted, "Wolf! Wolf!" Again the Villagers ran to help him, only to be laughed at again.
Then one evening as the sun was setting behind the forest and the shadows were creeping out over the pasture, a Wolf really did spring from the underbrush and fall upon the Sheep.
In terror the Boy ran toward the village shouting "Wolf! Wolf!" But though the Villagers heard the cry, they did not run to help him as they had before. "He cannot fool us again," they said.
The Wolf killed a great many of the Boy's sheep and then slipped away into the forest.

That's fucking epic. How will Adobe continue to develop any of those applications without it?
They'll just have to start again. There will be a lot of Adobe developers putting in a lot of time to rewrite all that code.
I have no idea what the judges were asking and I'm pretty sure they'd label me as a dismal bot

Simply put, you, the developer, are out of picture. MS, simply, don't, care, about, you, anymore. Period.
Are you sure you added the required amount of commas?
I shall fix it for you:
Simply, put, you, the, developer, are, out, of, picture. MS, simply, don't, care, about, you, anymore. Period.
How can an NDA cover "work methods" and "work conditions"? Are you seriously that stupid?
NDA? Are you scared because of that? Just spill your guts. Unless you're a coward in which case you won't.
US dollars? Who gives a shit about US dollars? The US is a bully and a liar and the sooner their economy fails the better.

Thanks for saving me the click. They're really after $32 million? I could have predicted they wouldn't reach their goal without any analysis at all.
I only clicked into this story to say exactly that. What the summary is talking about is more than just confusing, it's undecipherable.
You used a weak password for the ubuntu forums and a stronger one for slashdot? You're pretty weird, dude.
I've never seen a thread this busy! Is everyone out (real) camping?

Hard to tell when we're only comparing two people :-)

Yeah I agree, but watch Eric's (the expert) video again. He doesn't just glance at the function definition; he steps through it.
Oops. I left out the last line of the fable: "Liars are not believed even when they speak the truth."
For example, take the fable "the boy who cried wolf". It is not a tale about a boy lying, but a tale about blaming a boy for the failure of others to build fences to protect the sheep.

Perhaps in George Mallory's day, but any serious modern climber will be using clang -O2.
Clang? Cling is better.
