That would explain why the sammiches were cheaper. American companies despise competition.

Not really, in the end it comes down to the person who decides what price to put on the sammich.

Well, it's not nothing...but making the ridiculously poor slightly less poor isn't something I'd call an "amazing achievement" since it's stupid easy to make them not poor.

I'm reasonably sure that you aced the test.

So you're high-strung and uncomfortable around people? I think that's an important thing for the hiring manager to know.

Can they use the carbon to self-replicate yet? That's when things get interesting.

*as well as centralized?...sure it can, which means that it's centralized. What it cannot be is completely independent.

Didn't we already try the bread and circuses thing? Capitalism is exploitative by definition, civilizations lasted longer that it has existed so how "stabilizing" it is is certainly not a given, in fact there's evidence for the exact opposite. Capitalism doesn't "restore equilibrium", it dictates it, it's authoritarian and non-merit based.

I don't think it's ethical to pay that little period, but I don't see Waffle House commercials talking about this either, so if the company isn't trying to profit off of it and the employees want to do it I'm all for it.

an organization is centralized by definition, it's just a matter of scope, the arbitrary place where you draw the line depends on your politics.

What drives thinly veiled corporate propaganda?

Nah, you're already a part of their spreadsheet, they don't need everyone as a customer, the profits still roll in.

As with most things, it's a little of both, not binary. Your decisions effects others, others decisions effect you. You can spend your entire life not making a dent into how complicated that particular equation is..or...you can just not be a dick and either try to help other folks or at least not go out of your way to make their lives worse.

welcome to capitalism

So you think that the government should be able to set prices? I don't know why you don't like how business regulates prices.

By that logic CEO pay does the same thing, along with every other cost.

Well that's interesting, so these are political certs?

If you're working for profit, competition is awful. If you're not working for profit competition may or may not be good. Regardless, how you personally feel about competition isn't relevant here.

You mean like Linux and Git, or do you mean like "blockchain brofedora authoritarian lulz"?

We're not running out of space, we're running out of space that rich people don't already own and use to exploit labor.

You can now tell the Queen of England to make you a Knight!

It just occurred to me that some companies may dictate devtools which would make this question make more sense, as well as reinforce my negative opinion of business decisions.

Git for source control, jira for issue tracking, everything else nothing stands out.

economics is a virtue-centered value system, in fact it chooses the definition of value based on the politics of the economist.

Ethics and profit motive are easy to balance, justification takes a few paragraphs.

There are rarely if ever any "best" dev tools, there are plenty of terrible ones though.

I can't wait for the days when my television won't work because Sony's servers go down.

Also they should read Karl Marx, it's a good overview of real world economics.

One should always be grateful to their future overlords.

Project management isn't trivial, but it isn't outrageously difficult either. What makes it difficult is when you need to spend hundreds of hours a week making up numbers that bear no relationship with reality in order for someone above you to put a green box in their powerpoint presentation.
