Entropy isn't what it used to be ....
There's a band called 1023MB, but they've got no gigs.
The company had been in transition (read: downward spiral) for months - having graduated from the 8A program, and getting transitioned from the Prime on their main government contract to a subcontractor role, both the top and bottom line revenue declined. The management, while being loyal to the staff, held on to people for far too long even when it was clear that those people would never find new billable work under that contract or otherwise.
Fast forward about 6 months and the company is in dire straits (but the C Suite people refuse to tell the ground staff) - they've been taking out, but withholding contributions to staff 401(k), health insurance payments, and taxes (note there is currently a federal investigation into these activities). Instead, we have a holiday party where we announce that the publicly traded company is going to become Employee Owned. In addition, they file Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in order to take the company private.
This starts a veritable shit storm, culminating with the CEO being forced out, him (probably illegally) surrendering his ownership for $25K, and him sending an email with a salutation of "Love" to which we all thought it meant he was about to off himself.
At this point, the various board members start fleeing like cockroaches and the round-robin of temporary CEOs starts. The longest stint was 10 days, the shortest was 72 hours. All of them had some previous fiduciary responsibility for one of the things the feds are now investigating, and they showed up to "fix" it before the music stopped and the cash was gone.
Then, it hits the rank and file - we miss a payroll. The new prime (on that major contract I spoke about previously) terminates our sub contract the next day (a Saturday), and informs all of our staff that they must "re-badge" with the prime in order to show up to work on Monday. It turns out, that they've were actively recruiting many of our staff during the turmoil - which was expressly forbidden in the subcontract agreement between the two organizations (a standard anti-poaching clause)*.
At this point, the lay of the corporation is this: the publicly trade company itself owns a majority of the shares an voting interest of the company. There are no board members an there are no employees of the holding company. The wholly owned operating company below it has 2 board members who have been told to STFU and GTFA and no employees (they've all been fired or quit**). The companies the operating company owns have no board members and no C Suite executives. It's almost literally a ship with no captain.
And now it starts to get crazy (yeah, I know that wasn't insane enough?).
After the missed payroll on Friday (keep in mind we are in bankruptcy at this point, so we have lots of protection from debts), someone willing to buy the ground level operating companies comes along. They're constrained by the court, so they can't just invest money and pay the missed payroll, but they work within the constraints over the weekend and the payroll is made on Monday. and can't make an official offer to purchase the corporate assets (read: the people and contracts) until a court hearing. Before that hearing takes place, it turns out that some paperwork wasn't filed, so we're discharged from bankruptcy.
This is actually a huge problem; many of the assets the company holds (read: the people and contracts) are collateral for much of the debt, meaning they can no longer be sold without the debtor's approval (there are ~20). One of the operating companies (Company Z), which was recently acquired, isn't encumbered by this debt, but has a lot of its own legal and debt issues.
Ultimately, 10 days after the missed payroll, the two remaining board members, who showed up to help fix this problem when the bankruptcy attorney called, choose to accept the offer to buy this unencumbered company because it's the only offer on the table, and they have a responsibility to return the best value to the owners on these decisions. Had the sale not gone through, that Company Z would have essentially lost all of its value for various reasons. The structure of the organization is such that there was one back office company (Company B ), and then a number of front facing companies. Following the sale of Company Z, the board planned to fire most of the Company B staff since it represented 50% of the whole organizations remaining employees.
Needless to say, the shareholders of the publicly traded company did not like the sale of Company Z ... and attempt to remove the two board members (which they have no legal way to do). To do this, the investors decide that they do have some majority voting authority (which doesn't exist because of the aforementioned CEO return of ownership to the company), and "install" the head accountant (an employee of Company B ) as CEO of all of the companies the day after the sale of Company Z. They proceed to remove the two remaining board members and attempt to begin to unwind the sale of Company Z.
It is important to note at this point that the company pays bi-weekly.
The "new" CEO proceeds to attempt to issue payroll, for which he has full knowledge cannot be made. Because of the structure of the ground level companies, payroll Company B is paid, but the client-facing employees are not paid. They attempt to claim that "nobody" got paid.
At this point, the board members who the CEO tried to fire decide that the shareholders had no authority to appoint him. They "remove" him as CEO, and then fire all of the Company B staff. The board members then enter into an agreement with the now sold Company Z for the services Company B previously provided.
Because of how payroll works, the fake CEO refuses to turn over the 2nd factor key to Company Z - mostly because he's a raging asshole. The people who purchased Company Z pay the front office employees from their own assets, assuming they'll eventually balance the problem when they gain control of the bank accounts.
At this point, ground level staff learn that our health insurance has been terminated due to non-payment of premiums by the company.
Fast forward 10 days, and, on a Wednesday, I am sent to the remote office where all of Company B staff were located as a "cleaner" - my mandate was "so we have no idea what is going on, just make decisions and close it down within a week". Keep in mind that we've not paid the rent for this location for about 6 months and they are not happy with us. The staff of the location we were renting from are completely awesome, friendly, and helpful. I wouldn't have been able to accomplish my job without them.
I land back home on Tuesday at midnight. On Wednesday, we learn that the head accountant and former fake CEO has gotten the bank to suspend access to all of the bank accounts. At this point, it will take 60-90 days of court battles to get hold of that money. Its about a week since the last paycheck, and we are all owed for about 2 weeks of work. The board members inform us we are all fired because they can't pay us and have no idea if or when that might happen.
Oh, and the icing on the shit cake is that, since the $25K was not paid within 30 days to the originally forced out CEO, he regained his ownership stake.
And that's how a company dies.

@PJH said:It's the editing of posts that aren't even in Meta.
The post you cited was edited for the very reason you stated, a formatting problem. But don't take my word for it, view the public revision history, a standard feature of Discourse designed to encourage mod transparency, and see for yourself.the deletion of perfectly respectable posts that regular members of the community have spent their time composing
In the 500+ post gargantuan, who can even read this, bug topic that @blakeyrat was nice enough to set up, before it went completely off the rails. And I announced in advance I would be cleaning that particular meta topic up, so that we would have some hope of processing the feedback there.For the record, cleaning that topic up and making sure I had read all the actual bug reports -- that were not discussions of Crystal Pepsi vomit -- took a solid two hours. It was real work. I was happy to do it, because it was genuine well intentioned feedback (for the love of FSM, it had the word Genuine in the title!) and a lot of it touched on real bugs in Discourse that we should have fixed already.
While I don't think you're using the right tool for the job here (Discourse as bug tracker), I at least feel there are compelling arguments to perform this kind of move - there's also compelling arguments that Reply as new Topic is the right workflow.
What I don't feel compelling is the "no portion of any meta discussion shall be allowed to exist as part of another topic ever" decree. I think maybe this misunderstanding between you and the community has much to do with semantics - we view topics as conversation threads which, by their very nature, are conversational and will wander. You are viewing them as "the topic of conversation is declared X, discuss!" which is not how this community operates. If you feel the conversation needs to be branched Use Reply as new Topic since that is what it seems to be there for. I don't care how you want to reply to something, I care when you decide that we are doing something wrong that clearly has no right or wrong way to do it and take it upon yourself to fix it.
For me it feels like you're that manager who shows up one day and decides that functions can't be longer than 5 lines and spends a month editing everyone's work to fit an arbitrary "standard" while yelling at people "you're doing it wrong". And the whole point of this is because he wants to be able to review committed functions on his phone while he's on travel without scrolling.

The idea has a lot of potential, but I think that, ultimately, the real-world needs for road geometry will relegate this tech to low grade roads and parking lots. Too much of the US is rural road that rarely, if ever, receives maintenance.
You should stick with that. You still haven't answered the question about paying for upload capacity, but think that because someone else requested it, it should be magically paid for or something.
I think the point is supposed to be that, when I paid for my internet connection, I paid my ISP to connect me to the internet. The ISP only offered me and every other consumer an asymmetric connection that guarantees that the data transfer between networks will be unequal.
Since I paid the ISP to maintain my side of the connection to the internet, the reasoning goes that the ISP should upgrade its side of the connections to the parts of the internet I and its other customers want to visit because we paid them to maintain our connection to the internet through our monthly service fees.

To (probably temporarily) re-rail this topic: the title is misleading. The ID that is included in the headers is an anonymous ID that doesn't directly link to your identity. It's just an advertising tactic, similar to what Google already does.So much for @rad131304's fear-mongering.
Except it's far more effective at identifying you than cookies or browser fingerprinting, and is attached to an asset that's directly or closely associated to your real identity (your phone number). So how is that not significantly worse than most normal tracking cookies?

A bit over the top but I generally agree with many of his sentiments. The incessant mockery in the original comments makes me sad.He's the kind of person that can see the world in abstract concepts, and not just in what he sees.
If he could pour his consciousness into a robot he would in half a second, I bet.So would I. Is there anything wrong with that?
You can agree with his sentiments and still realize that all of his conclusions are completely wrong.
For instance, I actually agree that LED lighting powered by locally generated and stored solar is a decent way to reduce a significant amount of waste in the electric grid despite the differences in environmental impacts (generally strip mining for the rare-earth metals required - though if you're using coal it could be coming from mountain-top removal mining so YMMV there). Going full DC is a terrible idea though. It was a bad idea in the 1880s and it is a bad idea now.
Regarding his kitchen, he could always just get a slightly older natural gas stove that has electric ignition and no electric cut-off and light it with matches. You can argue the problems of burning natural gas, he is using butane or white gas, so he can't complain too much about burning a fossil fuel. Second, look at how much food is wasted in India because there's so little refrigeration available to tell you why not having a fridge is a silly extreme (especially when he actually still uses one because he eats out all the time).

OK?I'm not against automating the jobs away; I'm against reducing the population's overall ability to earn wages for corporate profits under the guise of keeping my onions from going up $0.05/lb. I'd rather pay the $0.05.Well, when anyone starts whining about "corporate profits," my response is something along the lines of "Fuck off." The point of businesses is to make profits, not employ people. People get employed because they provide positive marginal utility to the business.
Automation is typically a productivity multiplier. It frees people up to do other things that are more valuable.
But mostly, the self checkout things make my life easier and more productive, so I'm happy they're there, even if it's only because some other people are using them so the "normal" lines are shorter.
Anyone who cares more about money than people should die in a fire.
When profits are the only goal, why bother with environmental regulations? Let's just dump raw sewage or chemical waste in the water.
Why bother paying employees? Who cares if our employees are too poor to buy anything so we have no one to buy what we produce.
I'm not against corporate profits. I'm against profiteering and oligarchy. There's a big difference. A functional economy needs both producers and consumers. If you automate the latter away, you're just dooming yourself to obsolescence.

And other entities pay their ISP to send stuff out into the tubes. They pay money for that. Your download is worthless if no one else can upload. If someone wants to upload lots more stuff, they should (in a moral sense, at least) pay for that capability.The reasoning you refer to assumes that what I wrote doesn't matter, because the downloader is a special snowflake and shouldn't have to think of other people.
Which is what they pay their ISP for?
If the situation had been reversed - Comcast customers wanted Netflix data and Cogent refused to upgrade its side of the interconnect unless Comcast paid up, I would think Cogent was in the wrong.
The point is that it's incumbent on the ISP to provide the necessary capacity for ingress and egress to their network endpoints. If Cogent needed to send more data but couldn't because they didn't upgrade their side of the interconnect, they need to be charging their customers more for their service. Same for the consumer ISP. If Comcast can't afford to upgrade the interconnects, they are charging to little for their service and need to increase prices.
The problem in the specific case (Netflix/Cogent/Comcast [et.al.]) noted is the special snowflake being targeted was Cogent. They were perfectly happy to improve their half of the interconnect, and Comcast refused unless they were compensated. Comcast should have passed the interconnect cost on to their customers. If the customers didn't like it, well it's not like they have a choice.
UPDATE:
The new Chairman of the Board of the Holding company asked me if I have any access that will help him (besides my own password which is, maybe, not yet invalid, I don't know). I told him that, since I'm no longer an employee of the company, that I needed legal protection before I attempted to enter a corporate network that I no longer have authority to access. I'm no longer an employee, so any ingress is a violation of a lot of US Federal laws.
I told him that I would retrieve the passwords file without any payment (they owe me $8K) assuming my password was still valid, but any additional work besides providing the file and its password was at $150/hr. I feel that it's what I would have done at the termination of my employment (if there had been someone to turn it over to). I provided him with my standard consulting contract with the above provisions.
He replied that the bank accounts are locked so he can't pay me. I told him that this is just about the file that he wants and I just need legal protection to enter the network.
I've not heard back from him.
