Hovercraft posted:reminder that travelling 65 on a roadway designed for 80 means that you're probably travelling ~15 slower than the rest of the traffic thus presenting an incredibly dangerous speed differential and risking the lives of everyone around you due to your rigid adherence to posted speed limits i have been pulled over by the police both for going over the speed limit and for going at the speed limit. one of these days i should get pulled over for driving below the speed limit and complete the trifecta

sketchy labor practices as a service: http://jeremycai.com/labor.html ever wanted to be uber, but you weren't sure you were using the right weasel words in your contracts? now you can have the certainty provided by OnboardIQ's one-size fits all employee abuse kit! quote:34-36% of the American workforce now consists of freelancers, including temps, moonlighters and independent contractors, and expected to hit 40% by 2020 (McKinsey, Intuit). Work is shifting towards decentralization and a model of inputs (worker acquisition cost minus worker churn) and outputs (unit economics of profitability dependent on underlying business model). workers expect three or more jobs. it's the new economy, man quote:Labor is floating. In the past, a contractor would work for one or two companies at a time. Now, with startups and enterprises competing for the same talent pool, the workforce is incentivized to shift between companies based on bait-and-switch packages, compensation, and matching skillsets. this is the best part. a whole paragraph to say "nobody gives a gently caress about quality in their temps" quote:Volume and Efficiency - hiring for a operations workforce is different from hiring for corporate or engineering positions (obviously). Unlike hiring for a frontend developer where multiple recruiters are looking for the best possible talent over the course of several months using intangible requirements, companies hiring for their operational workforce want to push out as many qualified candidates who meet certain credentials as quickly as possible, using a small, nimble team.

A cool article about click farmingquote:She starts by entering the client’s specifications into the website Fake Name Generator, which returns a sociologically realistic identity: Ashley Nivens, 21, from Nashville, Tennessee, now a student at New York University who works part time at American Apparel. (“Ashley Nivens” is a composite based on Casipong’s standard procedures, not the name of an actual person or account.) She then creates an email account. The email address forms the foundation of Ashley Nivens’s Facebook account, which is fleshed out with a profile picture from a photo library that Braggs’s workers have compiled by scraping dating sites. The whole time, a proxy server makes it seem as though she is accessing the Internet from Manhattan, and software disables the cookies that Facebook uses to track suspicious activity.

Maybe some good old regionalism will make people stop talking about loving speeding?quote:No newsflash here: San Francisco, after recently beating out Manhattan for both price and scarcity of offerings, has been crowned the worst city in the country for renters. But according to Forbes, the second worst city is not Manhattan. It’s Oakland. And the third worst: San Jose.

actually they go into it in the article:quote:Casipong inserts earbuds, queues up dance music—Paramore and Avicii—and checks her client’s instructions. Their specifications are often quite pointed. A São Paulo gym might request 75 female Brazilian fitness fanatics, or a Castro-district bar might want 1,000 gay men living in San Francisco. Her current order is the most common: Facebook profiles of beautiful American women between the ages of 20 and 30. Once they’ve received the accounts, the client will probably use them to sell Facebook likes to customers looking for an illicit social media boost.

the thing is I think FB & twitter in particular need spam accounts otherwise their numbers will look super bad, like a laundry detergent would rather have 5 million followers, 4.5 of whom are fake than 1 million legit ones e: also FB would rather charge $100 for promotion to those 5 million than $25 to 1 mil
