Perhaps I'm still too naive and innocent, but I don't think this represents the overall reality of the company. A lot of people participated in the protests mentioned and only two …

I don't think they're trying to cut on their headcount, but probably trying to cut on the cost per head.

> We need some regulations; But the regulations are already in place. In the UK especially there are very strict and broad-range hate-speech laws. And most of the content referred …

> But it also covers harmful behaviour that has a less clear legal definition such as cyber-bullying, trolling and the spread of fake news and disinformation. So, basically any sit…

> This argument would be stronger if the game industry didn't also feature a large number of insanely well paid executives. But why would a surplus of developers need to correlate …

> It's all accounting! I can't emphasize this enough--you can pay the employees 2x as much, or 10x as much, or 1/2x as much, and Fortnite will be EXACTLY as fun as it is now. That'…

> I don’t think it’s about supply and demand for game developer pay either If there was a shortage of game developers, employers would be forced to give much better benefits and co…

I guess in that case it would come as a bigger surprise that I'm from the EU, and from a country where unions are quite well established, and have never been to, studied, or worked…

They don't need it. They do it because it's more profitable. If you don't want those conditions they can easily find someone else willing to accept them due to the huge hiring pool…

> Unionisation may help, but the only practical solution is for people to stop taking on terrible jobs because of some sense of 'passion', and to go where their skills are apprecia…

I'm from Portugal (where we've had somewhat similar experiences to Spain with the mentality for unions). When I was young I believed they were good as it was what I was taught and …

So, we won't find a correlation between people who go to prison and propensity to immoral behavior? Or even intentionally mislabeling immoral behavior as moral. HN should be wise e…

While that's an interesting approach for compensation which might mitigate knowingly bad/irresponsible decisions, it doesn't look like it would address the core issue here of havin…

> employees themselves has to be responsible for their output in such a way that higher output leads to more money for them But what metric would you use to measure output that sol…

Reminds me of Goodheart's law[1]. We have known this for a long time, but it is hard to have an alternative system which scales well with huge organizations. For startups and small…

They can apply large pressure on the state, true. But so can labour unions (and probably so would guilds). It is still not true state ownership as competition does thrive (even if …

I originally thought this was going to be an April fool's satire on using Microservices as a religion.

> "Distributism favors the dissolution of the current private bank system, or more specifically its profit-making basis in charging interest" Does not sound very Swiss to me.

> "Further, some distributists argue that socialism is the logical conclusion of capitalism, as capitalism's concentrated powers eventually capture the state, resulting in a form o…

I don't drive or cycle (on a regular basis), and I haven't been particularly exposed to generic rage towards cyclists. I don't think I see cyclists as any less human than cars and …

However, the fact that there is a problem, does not legitimize doing something regardless of what the something is. I haven't seen any support for the articles which actually shows…
