Well you wouldn't see any garbage men, or just about anything shown on Dirty Jobs


So you're saying these jobs are only done under the threat of starvation?


He said "no job paid any money", not Milton Friedman style guaranteed income. A lot of jobs need to pay a premium over the alternatives to get enough people to do them.


Right and that is a part of the thought experiment. How would society evolve around not being able to compensate people to do those things through money? It is just a thought experiment though and I was not trying to solve any problems, I was just wondering what jobs are the most attractive once you remove money from the equation.


I can't help but wonder why ya'll didn't show pouring from it.


Dumb question: was the non-compete signed when he began employment or when he was let go?


They're signed when you begin employment


Very true. Although the answer can be "both". In this case it sounds like there was some specific severance package negotiation and I suspect there was a more specific non compete put in place for the exchange of $$'s

Seems like it's just old wall posts that were never private, but maybe not? I guess we'll see. Should be a fun circus if it really is PMs that are becoming public.

So would you rather piss off those on small screens, or go the responsive route even if it is not optimal for the small screen.

I always wonder how long it will take for tablets and phones to be so ubiquitous that this debate will become moot and you target mobile from the get-go?


You kind of already do target mobile – except, of course, professionals quoting wikipedia.
