Comment Re:Next up - no straws (Score 1) 270

In theory, yes... but biodegradable wax coatings on straws can affect the taste of whatever you are drinking, giving it a slight bitter flavour. The types of coatings that are more inert tend to be less environmentally friendly.

The paper cups that the straw goes in to are already coated in wax.

Comment Re:Steam's Real Problem Will Be Different (Score 1) 164

There are these thing called contracts and Valve makes you sign one before you can list games for sale on Steam and it will have all kinds of conditions you have to agree to

That really only applies to software you have the legal right to distribute on Steam. One could theoretically get a game listed on Steam that you don't have distribution rights for by sneaking it past whatever controls they have in place for that kind of thing. I'm pretty sure people who purchase the game in that situation of just SOL.

So what information do the potential employees get about the employers in return? Pretty much zip. Basically what those employers choose to publish, which is mostly self-serving propaganda - and which is not checked for accuracy or even truth by anyone. Even items of obviously great importance to potential employees - such as salary data - are kept a closely guarded secret.

How is that any different than the information the employee publishes?
