  • First off, a technicality: At least in the jurisdictions I’m familiar with, “parents are liable for the actions of their children” is a popular misconception. The full story is: Parents are liable for the actions of their children only if it can be proven that they neglected their duty to supervise their children.

    Huh that’s interesting. I did some reading on and in the context of this discussion, it seems like it still checks out (at least according to local laws in my region). If a parent provides a knife to a child and the child proceeds to commit the crime, it does fall into neglect.

    I the same vein, this would apply to the permissions and access given to these agents. That’s sorta why I specifically didn’t use the term “child” in my post but rather the entity that they are actively hosting. If they didn’t host that entity, no harm would have been committed.
















  • The first year of college usually filtered those people out. Usually.

    Unfortunately in my country this doesn’t happen. There’s a bell curve and as long as you submit your homework and do the bare minimum for the exams, you get your degree. You’re gonna have a pretty mid GPA, but you’ll have a degree which effectively makes the degree useless as an indicator of competency. The amount of people I’ve interviewed who couldn’t answer a simple programming question is astounding.

    Most of these people end up picking up jobs as project managers because that’s all they can do. And the country’s leaders wonder why we don’t have much software R&D here.
