qirex posted:this will only happen if the risks for gaming the system exceed the reward for participating ethically, "do bad poo poo until you get caught" is still the best way to make money Legit. If we actually had fines for breaking the law that exceeded the profit companies made by breaking the law, then this could be different. As it stands, it's like the banks pulling LIBOR-manipulation scandals. If you make a trillion dollars off of something illegal but nobody's going to jail and you're only getting fined a billion, you're still in the black.

qirex posted:this will only happen if the risks for gaming the system exceed the reward for participating ethically, "do bad poo poo until you get caught" is still the best way to make money some industries have it figured out that if they pretend to make nice and voluntarily implement their own watered-down version of a proposed regulation they can avoid having a much much harsher version of it get rammed down their throats (with potential other nasty side things tacked on as well while lawmakers are at it). a great example is food companies and the half-assed front-of-the-box nutrition labeling that they all have implemented in an apparently very effective attempt to shut-down the possibility of stoplight front of package labeling which they are loving terrified of (because the cereal aisle would be solid red lights). the problem is that tech companies are filled with the type of people that reflexively oppose anything that might possibly limit them, even uniform voluntary codes of conduct, as some giant trampling of their freedoms. facebook looks like they might have gotten the idea though with the privacy audit thing which has the potential to kick the legs out from under any attempts to use lovely privacy practices as an opening for stronger sweeping regulation that might encompass data collection, tracking, and retention.

It's like the term "glasshole" just wasn't strong enoughCold on a Cob posted:literally one of these people actually ate there and got chewed out (hehe) for being a glasshole (but they prob deserved it) Katy Kasmai (bottom of the picture) went in to eat, they asked her to take the glasses off, she refused and then got all her little friends to vote the place down. None of them had actually "eaten" there.

there would probably be a reasonably large market for a verified review type thing on yelp, where you have to use a code from your bill or something and your review is weighted higher.

Don't go here unless you want to be raped! the DNA lounge in SF has Yelp reviews by people who say, "Great music, love to dance, but watch your drink because I've had my drink spiked here multiple times. 3 stars." I mean, how many stars does the possibility of death for visiting an establishment really cost?

this is why it was correct that microsoft got away with bundling trident, it simply makes sense for a web age os to have html rendering built into the system, especially as it simplified things like the disparate markups used in things like older style help files and poo poo. also, netscape deserved to die for trying to keep the paid browser business model going while providing an inferior product and then being unable to support said paid product.

embedding the HTML renderer in the OS was complete bullshit, upgrading from IE 3 to IE 4 broke all of the integrated documentation in Visual Studio 5

looks like sergay is still loving his mistress and causing strife within the company http://www.vanityfair.com/society/2014/04/sergey-brin-amanda-rosenberg-affair.print quote:A few months later, Brin and Wojcicki began to discuss acknowledging their separation in the press. With so many divergent agendas, this process became messy. Wojcicki, in particular, was starting to feel uncomfortable when acquaintances at conferences would send their regards to Brin via her, without realizing they were no longer together. According to the friend of the couple’s, Brin wanted to go public with the news before Burning Man, which takes place at the end of August, because he hoped to attend the festival with Rosenberg. lmao
