Crowdstrike is run by humans just like you and me. One mistake doesn’t mean they are completely incompetent.

And this attitude is why there is so much of it.

Why don’t you call it what it is: destruction of public property?

I don’t think healthcare for employees comes anywhere close to the list of top expenses for a company as large as Boeing.

Based on the article, it sounds like the expertise of more experienced workers was preventing the reckless management from shipping poorly tested products earlier, and this was the actual reason for terminating them.

Maybe a better way to say it is: when you’re investing millions of dollars in risky ventures, reputation is very important.

I don't think giving a bunch of free money to people is a good solution either.

Why would workers accept someone else negotiating on their behalf unless things are running very poorly?

That's a very presumptuous thing to say. I'm not any different from anyone else.

The greatest lie that politicians ever told was that they have power over how you live your life. The sooner people stop believing this, the sooner we can all move on from politics and start building stuff again.

I never said she should be persecuted by her government. You are unfairly attempting to put words in my mouth.

I used to like Naomi, but like a lot of intelligent people online recently, she has caught the politics mind virus and began using her platform to spread even more hate and division.

These days I find myself desperately craving an online community that just focuses on building cool projects and learning about new stuff, rather than pointless political debates that have extremely little relevance in anyone’s lives.

> The problem we have as a species is that we’ve been so effective at optimisation that we have eliminated the need for anyone to exist. A few farmers can feed the country. A few automated production lines could produce the goods.

This couldn’t be further from the truth. Human labor is still desperately needed throughout the world in order to keep things running. It’s not just farmers. You also need drivers, clerks, mechanics, accountants, etc. And that’s just to get food into your local grocery store.

Nothing in modern life is free, even though it may seem easy for most of us living in the developed world. All of this stuff exists only because people are working really hard to keep it that way.

Try working at a big company for a little while.

I like to think of it as similar to talking to the smartest person you know. You can constantly learn something new from this person, but they make mistakes just like anyone else does. Trust, but verify.

You should give GNOME another try one of these days. The GNOME team has done some amazing work on standardizing the look and feel of GTK apps.
