#43The founders merely translated existing practices into a piece of software. While the demo was a little off, the pain point is pretty valid. As a manufacturer,I have seen factories loose contracts over 20 cents, while the same goods is retailed 4X-5X margin at $85. At the end of the day factories rarely make margins on COG (Cost of Goods), but survive on the residues of efficiency. Even though volume is the game, bru…
> where the factories simply follow the orders
I seem to remember some person using this argument. I think it's called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_orders

#44Taylorism. Techbros invented Taylorism. Unironically.

#45Why not frame things from the perspective of rewarding good performance? I am sure this will get bought by companies looking to squeeze their workers…and I will not be surprised if this leads to worse outcomes for staff and employers in the medium to long term. The launch video was disgraceful.
Because that's not the impetus for creating it and they're not clever enough to hide it. They made it because they want to punish what they believe is the laziness of people beneath them.

Everyone always think the fault lies somewhere else. Go ask big retailers and they will say they are the mercy of competition and consumers' demands.
Ultimately, everyone is trying to extract the maximum profit they can, and that includes factories.

#48Kill it with fire. This is disgusting.
I'm a factory worker. Have been for most of the last 30 years. It's nice to know what some people in the tech industry think of us.

#49This seems like a top signal to me. Some form of institution rot going on?
good way to put it. how do you plan to get rich form this top signal? short a specific company?
Successful shorting seems to be damn near impossible in this economy. It's just too irrationally optimistic. Maybe this is changing under Trump, but most of the famous short sellers (James Chanos, Hindenburg Research) have closed shop

#50When did tech people decided to turn into straight up comic book villains?
Ever since the AI boom, I feel.
