One of the mods doesn't like my conservative views. My comments keep on getting deleted/shadowed.
Lets see if this one sticks.
Yes, the states/countries shouldn't really have any debt. One of the previous presidents in the US wanted in the constitution for the (federal) state to never have debt.
If you subscribe to Keynesian economics the answer is more debt the better. If you subscribe to Austrian economics, no debt should ever exist.
I would like the down-voters to explain why this is getting down voted. He is exactly right.
Have none of you seen what's happening in Sweden, Germany and especially France?
In France there have been many riots. All by immigrants who have low education, unskilled work and living off government welfare.
This problem has been there since 20 years and has just bred another generation. Give it another 20 years and with the birth-rate as it is for immigrants, it will just get worse.
There is a huge problem coming. With all these low skilled immigrants having their jobs being automated. What is the country to do with them? Oh thats right, more welfare.
Well guess who is paying that. So dear "javascript" developer, you want more TAX? Because you are going to pay for it.
That's why I'll never live in these countries. We are looking at 90% tax rate for the middle class. It happened in France for the high earners.
> but as long as criminals can use CASH to make transactions, it's going to have some value.
There fixed it for you.
Why do people chose to remain ignorant and make ignorant claims?
Do you even know how much the US Dollar is used to profit criminals?
Illegal sales of Oil by ISIS.
Opium sales in Afghanistan.
Drug trade coming from Latin America.
Seriously. Before you start throwing rocks at Bitcoin and talking about things you have no idea about. Have a few minute to ponder about what you are saying.
There are plenty of uses for bitcoin and crypto currencies.
The remittance market, transactions between banks in different countries, p2p micro-transactions and replacing gold as a digital store of value.
Poland, bad child of the EU? Oh, I know what you are getting at. No, they are actually the last sanest in the western hemisphere. A country should do what it's best for itself and not have some supposed authority tell it what to do!
Hungary, bad child of the EU? Oh, I know what you are getting at. No, they are actually the last sanest in the western hemisphere. A country should do what it's best for itself and not have some supposed authority tell it what to do!
This reminds me of every single javascript coder I have worked with. Just because they can get something running within a day, makes them look down on other coders and gives them some sort of complex.
No wonder the whole javascript stack is a complete and utter mess!
Employers should expect developers to work on company IP within contracted hours and any new code/IP is owned by the company.
In addition. Developers who have their own side-projects own that IP and if they work outside of contracted hours and generate new code on THEIR projects. Well, they own that IP also.
One caveat though. Developers should allow employers to go through their generated code, to ensure that developers aren't stealing company IP.
Oh but if a company wants some code that the developer generated in his own time? Well, negotiations should start. The company should pay for that!
An employer is paying six figures to an employee. In exchange for said salary, employee works set hours and within that time, is supposed to work for the employer and anything they create within that period is owned by the employer.
However, in the comments. It seems like everyone wants their cake and eat it too? Which is to say, if I'm working for you between the contracted hours of 9 to 5. And if I am working on a personal project that the employer is not going to benefit, I should keep the IP. Even though the employer is paying for my time?
Note, this isn't about working outside of the contracted hours at home, nor is it about staying late and using company resources to develop said project and claiming IP belongs to the employee.
For large companies like github. They could probably be more flexible. But for smaller companies, every working daylight hour to them is needed and required for projects to deliver on-time.
These very same companies would argue that all code/IP belongs to them. That they woudn't want employees working on pet projects in THEIR paid time.
Kinda sounds to me, that people here wants 3 things.
1) Pay me a large wage > north of 6 figures.
2) If I code something for me during working hours, it's MINE.
3) If I code something outside of working hours, it's also MINE.
Sounds like bratish entitled behavior no?
Can someone set me straight here? I don't see how this could be good for employers who don't agree with this.
Oh and btw, if you want to work on your own thing, being paid by a company, that you keep the IP. It's called being an entrepreneur and setting up your own company. So instead of saying kudos I wish more companies do this. Go start your own today and you have that freedom NOW!
